[video description: a video by thegentlebarn. it starts with a clip of people grooming a cow's snout with the caption, "5 signs a cow is truly ✨ happy ✨." each of the captions describing the signs is accompanied by clips of cows exhibiting them. they are:
"1. they expose their belly for tummy rubs as a sign that they trust you 2. they initiate gentle physical contact like licking or hugging you 3. they're chewing cud - this means they feel safe & their digestive system is doing its thing 👍 4. zoomies! just like with dogs, this is most often a playful, happy behavior 5. they make a 'purring' sound - cows do this when they're extremely relaxed and content. it's like a big exhale"
in the background is peaceful instrumental music.]
hate capitalism and its perpetual use of buzzwords just saw an ad for lemonade with "plant-based caffeine" like where the fuck else would you get caffeine if not from a plant

I love how Wallace ended up being Todd’s gay awakening and then they DIDN’T end up together in the end
Instead Wallace led him on by failing to communicate that their fling was temporary and now Todd has an unhealthy obsession with Wallace and it’s so so so funny (and so tragic)
Next thing you know Wallace’s new boyfriend is gonna have to fight Todd’s new league of Wallace’s evil exes
anyone who calls all individual actions like thrifting, going vegan or using public transport bad or useless, and instead encourages people to just wait for some kind of big revolution to happen before even considering making any change in their own lives is not actually that interested in things getting better
I saw someone make a similar post and didn't want to distract from that one by adding on: On this Valentine’s Day please don’t forget about the genocide in the Congo. An ongoing issue in the Congo and nearby countries is that enslaving children to pick cocoa nuts is common practice in the chocolate industry. People buy lots of chocolate candies during Valentine's day, contributing to this human rights crisis.
I recommend referencing the chocolate list from The Food Empowerment Project (FEP) before purchasing chocolate whenever possible. FEP is an organization that advocates veganism and does a ton of research and activism around the rights of agricultural workers. The chocolate list is a culmination into which chocolate brands are likely and unlikely to be sourcing their chocolate from the areas of the world where slavery is most rampant. They have a desktop version, as well as a mobile app. I find the mobile app easier to use, fwiw.
