Had what I’d consider a “cheat meal” for dinner last night, because I’m human and occasionally crave cooked, high “good” fat comfort foods: toasted organic seeded bread with melted coconut butter and garlic, a bowl of brown sugar baked beans and a whole avocado topped with hot sauce. My belly was happy.

“Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is — whether its victim is human or animal — we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing, we set back the progress of humanity.”

– Rachel Carson (via fruit-not-fists)

“Poor countries sell their grain to the West while their children starve in their arms and the west feed it to the animals so they can eat a steak. Am I the only one who sees this as a crime? Every morsel of meat we eat is slapping the tear-stained face of a starving child. When I look into her eyes, should I be silent? The earth can produce enough food for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.”

“Please, do not excuse them. In fact we should be harder on them. We expect white people to hate us. We expect everyone else to not understand us. But black men are supposed to love us. They are supposed to be our allies in this fight. They are supposed to respect and adore and honor us. And yet we find ourselves begging for love and wishing they would care for us. It isn’t right. Love is supposed to be unconditional and yet love from black men is nothing but conditions; they love us IF we look a certain way. They love us IF we act a certain way. That’s not love. And it’s unfortunate that after all this time, in this day and age we still have to ask “why don’t black men love us?”

– my mother, after a friend tried to justify why SOME black men disrespect black women (via youngblackandvegan)

“let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. it’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”

Getting all babely for my trip home today. Hell, I might even wear some lipstick.

Whipped up a quick late lunch. Vegetable curry.
