The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Resources:

Getting Started

Vegan Cheat Sheet

Animal Products to Avoid

Vegan Company Guide

Vegan Statistics

Fair Trade International

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!

We’re kicking things off with a space just for vegans! Inspired by our friends over at Hexbear, this thread is the spot to chat about what’s on your mind, what’s happening, and what you’re planning for the week.

Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!

Got any ideas?

We’re also taking suggestions for essay topics, recommended readings, or any resources that could help each other out. Feel free to drop in links, ask for advice, or contribute any other materials you think would be useful for the community and we can start adding to the megathread.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to and what we can explore together!

Check out our communities:

  1. Vegan Home Cooks
  2. Vegan Recipes
  3. Gardening
  4. Vegan
  5. Vegan Infographics
  6. The Bee Hive
  7. Art
  8. Book Club
  9. DIY

The communities are here to help share links and photos for vegans by vegans.

Vegan Home Cooks is a site for a discord server called Vegan Home Cooks Discord. This is a low-friction post-what-you-cooked community so we can share what we made today and talk about it, no recipes required. We want to provide motivation and encouragement for each other and show off what we made today.

Vegan Recipes is focused on how to cook and links to recipe sites.

Gardening is focused on our gardens, plants, hydroponics and learning how to do it. Some of us are pros and some are just learning and want to post what we're reading and what we're doing.

Vegan is for general vegan news

Vegan Infographics for vegan infographics and agitprop

Art All things art, preferably by vegans but not required.

Book Club Our sort of monthly book club, we finished reading Fanon but never had our final post. We're going to get that going and do fiction for September/October. Also post about whatever you are reading!

DIY Do it yourself! This is a community to fix our shit.

Our communities are federated with various other servers running software called Lemmy. If you have an account on one of those servers you can still subscribe to our communities from your home server and participate. If you create an account with us you can also view other federated communities across multiple Lemmy servers we are linked up with.

Thanks for visiting our site!

YOU VEGANS ARE TOO EMOTIONAL LET ME GO TO YOUR VEGAN INSTANCE AND TELL PEOPLE TO FUCK OFF

One thing is for sure, emotional means bad and must be dismissed.

On the post image, Knowing Animals Podcast: Episode 58: Animal Rights in Palestine and Israel with Esther Alloun

This episode of Knowing Animals features Esther Alloun from the University of Wollongong. We discuss her article ‘’That’s the beauty of it, it’s very simple!’ Animal rights and settler colonialism in Palestine–Israel’ which appeared in the journal Settler Colonial Studies in December 2017.

I'm finding the lemmy users who leave shitty comments and argumentative bullshit more and more tiring.

Even without Lemmy World the debbie downers find their way over. I hope it's not too much to manage recently.

There was one user in some of the LW posts that blew up recently who was so annoyingly wrong in the most pedantic manner, but they were also prolific. It's exhausting disproving wave after wave of BS. It always takes more effort to show why something makes no sense than to say something that makes no sense.

I'm smoking weed about it.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago

Probably more constructive than engaging with them tbh

This isn't vegan related but was wondering if anyone here has read "A History of Modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian and could share some thoughts on it? Saw this book get recommended over on Lemmygrad a while ago and have read the first couple of chapters so far.

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 2 points 20 hours ago

I would love to read it and will get a copy and host it on the veganhomecooks nextcloud for us at c/bookclub

we were doing monthly books but I think I want to change it around

Autumn is starting where I live. It sucks, my least favorite part of the year. Late summer is cool though
