Miranda rights? Obama Administrations says: What's...
Apparently, Will Potter and I have very similar brains—except his is smarter than mine. This is frustrating, because the subject of his post yesterday (on the most excellent Green Is the New Red blog) is exactly what I was thinking about writing up for Vegansaurus this morning. ARG! WILL POTTER! GIVE ME A BREAK, WILL YA?
So, it’s already been written about; I’m now going to...

You, with the cow's milk, my sunburn is your fault →
“What are you talking about, crazy?” Extrapolate: It’s not just pollution produced by the cows in giant feedlots that’s thinning out the ozone; it’s the feed itself, which is given to eatin’ and milkin’ cows alike. That’s why California’s San Joaquin Valley has such horrible air pollution: all the dairies! Wow!
Adorably, Ethicurean concludes...

Getting educated: vegan truffles at Natural...
Natural Gourmet is an awesome fucking institution. Yeah, they use poultry and other animal products in their cooking school. But it’s one of the few professional outlets where the public/you can take a baking class—entirely VEGAN!—and learn some real technique. Hands-on, did I mention? I’m a student, and it was really awesome to have a non-academic thing to do on a...

Angelica Kitchen NYC
If you’ve visited New York and have wanted a grand tour of all of the top vegan restaurants in the Village, you’ve probably been recommended Angelica Kitchen. It’s pricey, often overcrowded (by hipsters), and some of the waitstaff can be really fucking rude. Like, obnoxiously self-entitled and bitchy. For no reason. Oh, and the food is kind of mediocre. That was the negative vibe...

Vegansaurus NYC: Rice!
Rice! Generic name, yummy food! I’m obsessed! It’s not all vegan but there are many vegan options. There are three locations, one in Manhattan and two in Brooklyn. One of the Brooklyn locations happens to be in DUMBO, four blocks from my school. I moved here a little over a month ago and I’ve been to Rice like 80 times already. That’s how I roll! I find something I like...

Snake hunters: Florida →
The Everglades are actually full of invasive, non-native species, but one time a python killed a baby, and they are SO FUN TO KILL YOU GUYS, so it’s open season on hunting snakes!
Fuck you Florida, television, and everyone else who is profiting from the murder of these abandoned “pets” that never should have been brought into the U.S. in the first place.
Relatedly, we’re...

Finch Cam!
Live Broadcasting by Ustream
All week I’ve had these two birds hanging out outside my office window (literally two feet from my desk) hanging out in the overgrown ivy and twittering the old-fashioned way. These industrious (and romantic!) fellows are house finches, and they are a mated pair, building a nest!
Today I remembered we had an old iSight laying around from before they were...

Vegan Bakesale TOMORROW! Plus, how to clean birds,...
Our pals at Pawesome present shirts by WOWCH, which are super-adorable but not too cute.
Vegan-type fun-times events! The SF Vegan Bakesale location has moved! It’s still happening tomorrow, Saturday May 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., but now it will be in front of Herbivore at 983 Valencia St. between 21st and 22nd Streets in the Mission. Be there or be an animal-hating, self-denying jerk!

Watch
You should all watch The Rachel Maddow Show, so you can learn that the largest dam in the world is located in Canada and was built over a period of 35 years by beavers! Clever, adorable, wonderful beavers! In a lovely, remote area of Alberta, far away from prying humans and their insatiable need to take beavers’ trees and kill them because we are destruction machines.
Hooray for beavers, and...

Vegans are whiny babies who don't deserve to eat... →
And it’s all our fault that chefs are now forced to accommodate people with food allergies as well! The temerity, thinking we could go to non-veg restaurants and eat anything!
Fuck it, you guys; I’m growing my own wheat and never buying anything from anyone ever again. If no one wants our business, then they don’t have to have it. I mean it’s not like the majority of us...
