Próximamente se publicará mi nuevo libro, "VEGANISMO". Un álbum PARA TODOS LOS PÚBLICOS maravillosamente ilustrado por Catarina Sobral (también vegana) que espero llegue a muchísima gente. Un proyecto ético y valiente (gracias a Litera Libros) que será tildado de "extremismo radical" 😆.

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it?
Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying.

The more we discover, the worse it gets. Now we learn the water companies wrote the guidance ensuring sewage sludge is not tested for the vast majority of contaminants before being spread on farmland. They gave themselves a free licence to dump hazardous waste. 🧵

1. The impacts of predatory capital - impossible rents, failing public services, rising costs of living - are being blamed across the billionaire press on immigrants and Black and Brown people.
It's so crude, so obvious, so familiar .... but if you tell the lie often enough, people believe it. 🧵

"More ethical choices are not validated — they're seen as personal preferences of vegans, not as beneficial for all. We need institutional transformation. Individuals can make better choices if institutions enable them."

"Individuals who want to make more ethical and sustainable food choices in speciesist institutions become deviant — positioned as troublemakers, asking for exceptions, becoming vegan killjoys."

“The world’s largest animal industries are owned and managed by men.” Opening keynote Kadri Aavi (Tallinn University) reminds us: masculinity plays a crucial role in institutionalized violence — especially white, middle-class men in the Global North.
