There's more to life than making shallow, fairly obvious observations - Jerry Seinfeld.
Was about to bash Baby Boomers for still believing we need cow's milk for strong bones, but remembered Gen Z are out here thinking vaping is harmless. Industry led propaganda alive and kicking!
This isn’t a sugar tax. It’s a dairy subsidy masquerading as one, and plant-based milk drinkers are the ones paying for it.

100 on track deaths....and who knows how many off track deaths, since this stat is completely hidden. And in SA the industry's assisted by a reform inspector with NO intention of reporting factually on the state of the industry and who continues to sign off on inquiry recommendations without proof!
100 DOGS DEAD IN 2025 💔
One-year-old Brunswick Rocks became the 100th greyhound to die on-track in 2025.
He suffered a "near side front leg injury" and was put down at Queensland's Q2 track.
Brunswick Rocks' third race was his last. He made his exploiters $995.

FOR EURYDICE 🕊️
We remember Eurydice Dixon, who would have turned 30 last week.
In the eight years since her murder, 719 women and children have also been murdered.
We must all fight harder for change.

Free range hens end up in the same place as battery cage hens...here.
Exhausted and discarded 💔
When hens’ bodies give out from relentless egg laying, the industry kills entire flocks—gassed, buried, or suffocated.
Don’t support this cruelty.
Go egg-free 🥚❌

Literature shows that war is not only fought with weapons. In dystopias like 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale, the battlefield is the mind. Resistance becomes quiet rebellion, and peace becomes the courage to remember truth. #BookWormSat

All this, and almond/oat/soy/rice/coconut milk exist...make it make sense??
Watch this "spent" dairy cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse, after a life of repetitive abuse, forced pregnancy, and cruel separations from her newborns.
It's simple: consuming dairy is animal abuse. Wait no longer. Go vegan today.

The end of the life of a spent #dairy cow 👺 When you are not profitable anymore you will be sent to slaughter. If you can’t walk they will drag you. Dairy cows on average are murdered when 5-6 years old. A cow can live 20-25 years when treated well. #DitchDairy TODAY #GoPlantbased NOW #LiveVegan ✌️

Try telling your (current or previously) pregnant partner this shit is OK because you love bacon...dare ya!
This is a pregnant pig, trapped in a crate so small she can’t even turn around - for three months at a time. This isn’t just horrific, it’s legal and standard practice almost everywhere. If you wouldn’t want this done to you, why pay for it to happen to her? 💔

“More than one in three women experience sexual assault or harassment in their lifetime.”
Absolute solidarity to anyone speaking out about their lived experience and also wish we had more articles centering the fact the above indicates more than one in three men in New Zealand are sexual abusers.
