The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

How has becoming vegan improved your life?

Oh god so many ways. I'm healthier, I feel less guilty, I feel a deeper connection and joy to the food I make. It's a confidence booster that while I'm a disaster of a human being in a lot of ways I am at least genuinely able to try and fight injustice and critically examine my own behaviour.

As to what's been going on, I've been digging for treasure! Finding sapphire at a low grade field near me. It's nice to vibe in the forest and get some exercise. Pics related

This is rad as hell, thanks for sharing!

This is so cool! I'm really inspired seeing something like this, just going out in to the woods and finding something special, a literal jewel. I understand they aren't highly monetarily valued but who cares what other people value, it must have tremendous personal value when you pulled it out with your own hands.

I'm pretty much the coolest person I know (⌐■_■)

Nah but I'm always after more reasons to spend time in the bush and countryside. Something about solitude in scenic places + working up a sweat rejuvenates me. After a week or two without a day in the bush I feel myself getting misanthropic and depressed, but even a casual stroll and I remember that there is actually a staggering amount of beauty in the world.
