More YouTube stuff!!!

I know, I should be looking at downloadable audiobook titles but I just got caught up in YouTube (again!!!) and came across these two videos - one's a little gem from Mary Poppins called "Sister Suffragette" (I prefer Suffragist and you'd know why if you read my "Politics of language" presentation), and the other one has old images juxtaposed to more contemporary images of women... Hope you enjoy them...

there are so many good (and extremely bad!!) videos to watch on YouTube (of course, that's dependent on the search terms you use and what things are actually 'tagged' with - as we know, that can be problematic, and then there's 'individual taste') - but you can lose track of time!!! ooh, my animals are hassling to be fed - is it that time already? I will get around to the next task soon... if I can only stop playing with other toys

the politics of privilege...

"Veganism is simply a justice-seeking response to the understanding of our privilege in being born human in a society dominated by humans. It’s understanding that we are a dominating, oppressive and abusive class. It’s actually not that hard to see or understand if you really want to. But you have to want to – because that same privilege gives you the option to ignore it..." excerpt from a brilliant article entitled "An appeal to nonvegans who understand privilege" by the vegan of aus...

it's just fucked...

to produce milk, as with all mammals, cows need to give birth in order to lactate... for the milk to be used by humans, they can't feed their own babies... what do you think might happen to those babies?

let's all get real, there is no such thing as 'humane' when we're talking about 'animal agriculture' - someone has to die for humans' lust for milk and flesh - for humans' gustatory 'pleasure'...

just do it - ditch the mammary secretions, flesh, fur, hide - while you're at it ditch eggs, fleece, circuses, zoos - hey, why not just ditch anything that enslaves, uses and abuses our nonhuman kin - it can't be justified!!!!

go vegan - for the animals, the planet, and because it's the right thing to do...

the (real) problem with peta...

another wonderful article by ruby hamad...

"Last week PETA launched its latest campaign against cosmetic testing on animals. The caption for the ad reads, ‘No bunny should have to suffer for beauty’ and sure enough, it stars an actual bunny rabbit and a bunny of the Playboy variety, Jessica-Jane Clement.

In typical Peta fashion, Clement is pictured naked, with coyly curled legs and a strategically placed bunny on her breasts. And so PETA continues its long history of undermining women to promote animal advocacy." ... read more here
