WAIW | Transphobia & Gender Reveal Parties

Image contains a photo of two dogs being walked. One dog is red and the other is white with black patches. The two dogs are on leashes, which can be seen coming from the bottom of the screen toward the dogs. In the background, there is a small road, blue sky, and trees and bushes. Above the dogs, there is white text that says "Transphobia & Gender Reveal Parties" and below the dogs the text says "Where Am I Wednesday".

WAIW | Health Concerns

Image contains vertical wood panelling with a number of darker brown knots scattered throughout each panel.

Even though I've been fighting against it for years, it seems far too many people still think it's justified to fat shame in the vegan community (and the world in general). So, in today's WAIW episode, I thought I should suggest other causes they could focus their time and energy on. Read More »
