🧵 I've said this elsewhere previously, but it bears repeating on Twitter/X. So, these are my own thoughts on why veganism is incompatible with support for Israel's occupation of and actions in Palestine, and why it instead necessitates support for Palestinian liberation. (1/16)

No, I will not be enabling a racist, ableist, transphobe by voting in their performative awards. No one opposed to systemic oppression should be standing for, voting in, or promoting them either. And I see those of you that are. robbmasters.com/blog/2022-03…

While I have some niggles with this article, it's probably still of value to those seeking “ethical” #PlantBased / #vegan products. (While there may be “no ethical consumption under capitalism”, we can at least strive to be less unethical!) @EC_magazine ethicalconsumer.org/food-dri…

Spot on. How many discriminatory organisations pat themselves on the back for sending out ‘inclusive’ emails? Or maximising photos of the <5 non-white staff members? This describes most of the non-profits we receive disclosures about. Great branding, poor practice.
Replying to @MannyAwo
They have no problem sending ‘inclusive’ emails but will gladly sit around their racist colleagues and entertain their racist digs and behavior. They are the ones chopping it up with you in the building but yelling abuse with their families at the football game

Potentially misleading title (as “#CleanMeat” is typically a euphemism for meat grown in labs from animal cells, as opposed to #PlantBased). But an interesting story, although I haven't knowingly come across their products in #London yet. #vegan #vegans #veganism #VeganLondon

1/ While @VeganMeetup, @AnimalsCount and Caring Veg Community* were all represented at London's march (given that the #PolicingBill threatens to criminalise #AnimalRights protests alongside all others), I can't help wondering where were @TheVeganSociety and @VivaCampaigns?

1/20 Please read (and retweet) this thread on @TheVeganSociety's ongoing complicity in racist bullying, as it includes calls to action for • vegans • all who reject racism, ageism, ableism, transphobia, queerphobia… • @TheVeganSociety • @ChtyCommission • @Wikipedia editors!

Replying to @Support
@TwitterSupport something seems to be going on with the drafts/scheduled posts feature. The "Unsent Tweets" button on the desktop version of the site is missing entirely. If I click on the calendar icon for scheduled tweets, it brings up drafts and scheduled tweets but

Hadn't heard of this b4 so maybe worth checking out instead of larger festivals shown by a QC's investigation to be run by those with "a profound personal animosity towards [a Black, disabled, non-binary person] related in part to [their] identity and protected characteristics…"

Please vote and retweet for wider sample... Why has there been so little #vegan reaction to the racist, ableist and transphobic campaign mounted by high-profile #vegans against former trustees of @TheVeganSociety, and the complicity of current trustees? #veganism #ThreeDayPoll

29%I hadn't heard about it.

My friend's brother Jonathan has #Downsyndrome and has started an online sweet business. He's happy with one order per day, but i'd like to get this up. Would you consider buying something from him? Thanks. The website is vegansweeties.uk And please RT.

No longer just @FatGayVegan but THE Fat Gay Vegan.😆 Good to hear Sean describe the origins of his events (with *cough* just a little help from @VeganMeetup!) and his concerns about the movement. (Doesn't yet show up on @Viva_uk's page but does in my app. viva.org.uk/lifestyle/podcas…)

As expected, @meetup_support's redirection to DM was simply to enable them to ignore my concerns away from the public gaze. What does @meetup even do, other that try to squeeze every last $ out of any paying customers that are still locked into its increasingly decrepit platform?

Replying to @Meetup
@Meetup Are you going to fix groups stats (broken since Nov '19)? Complete the new platform (missing core functionality since 2017)? Even provide the benefits you promised the latter would enable? Or will you just keep taking organisers fees for an increasingly decrepit platform?

Trying the new vegan burger at @KFC? Be advised that their vegan fact sheet says 7UP Free is vegan, whereas @Britvic has previously said that it's not. Hopefully, they've since updated to a vegan recipe. But it's worth being cautious until they confirm... metro.co.uk/2017/03/07/pepsi…

Look like tonight's CULT (@VeganMeetup's free monthly central London social at @tibits_uk) may be an intimate one as it falls before payday! But you're welcome just to join us for a drink (including water from the fountain provided). #vegan #veganLondon meetup.com/londonvegan/event…
