Made a thing. Was walking with a friend, who stopped in her tracks to squash a spotted lanternfly like a cigarette, and it knocked something loose in my brain.
A flyer. The top says, Squash Fascists! They're invasive. The bottom features a line of ICE and other law enforcement with spotted lanternfly wings and spotted lanternflies flying closely above them. A boot with a DC flag on the heel looms above. The bottom says, Grind those f*ckers into the ground!

congrats to all the liberals calling the attacks on trans people in the U.S. "tragic but inconsequential since there aren't all that many of them" for finally finding out what they'd have done in 1930s germany

Another successful distro! Today we got to cook out of our new industrial kitchen and it was such a treat! More vegan split pea curry today, so many donuts from Donut Run, and many meals from Vegetable & Butcher.

Another successful share! We had split pea curry, many vegan meals from Vegetable & Butcher, vegan donuts from Donut Run, water bottles, produce, and winter survival essentials.

Next week, we'll be cooking out of an industrial kitchen again and we can't wait!

THREE PRINCIPLES OF FOOD NOT BOMBS

If you are thinking of starting a mutual aid project but are dedicated to serving animal products, please consider naming your project something other than Food Not Bombs. "Punk Picnic" or "(your city) Mutual Aid" are good options!

Being consistently vegan/vegetarian may seem restrictive, but in reality it expands the options in a community.

FNB DC @foodnotbombsdc.bsky.social · Feb 21
Many people who refrain from meats for religious reasons may not be accommodated by meat based meals. Also while vegan food can have common allergens (nut, wheat, soy, etc) it omits shellfish, dairy, and egg which are 3 of the top 9 allergens.

FNB DC @foodnotbombsdc.bsky.social · Feb 21
Another important reason for keeping all FNB vegan or vegetarian is that many people seeking free meals are familiar with FNB and expect our food to be meat-free at the very least. It's important to provide this option, when it's so hard to find elsewhere.

These effects then also contribute to people having to become refugees, economic instability, rising fascism, and war. Food Not Bombs unequivocally stands against all of these things because of our commitment to nonviolence, so we stand against industrial animal agriculture as well.

The first principle, serving vegan/vegetarian food, is important for several reasons. Industrial animal agriculture directly contributes to deforestation, desertification, mass extinction, seizure of indigenous land, climate change, workers' rights abuses, and infectious disease pandemics.
