Like if your vegan anarchist grandma and vegan anarchist dad were the same person.
I am an engineer (closer to toot toot then clicky clacky) cosplaying as a farmer in unceded aninstanabe territory in eastern ontario.
Maybe the real vegan theory club were the friends we made along the way ✨
Unsolicited advice disguised as a question.incoming: is your relationship with these young people such that you have to listen?
I do mentorship (which is actually very perplexing that they want me to do this lol) and it takes so much energy that I have to really space it out but other than that I mostly kinda just let them do their own thing and don’t pay much mind unless asked to 🤷🏻♀️
I have observed that sometimes old people don’t understand their opinion is unwanted.
I’m approaching old. I need to remind myself that I don’t understand the struggles the youth have these days. I had it hard, sure, but their struggles and worries are not the same as mine. It’s a different world.
So unsolicited advice + thinking the kids are doing it wrong is an easy path to mean/angry.
I think people really underestimate how much work it is to maintain a community online. It’s something that is so outside of my skillset and capabilities that I feel awe when I see it done successfully.
Yes, exactly. Protests are an outreach and organizing tool, not something that by itself causes change.
