I don't think vegan activism is useful at all. At least not the kind that follows the laws of the human supremacist systems we live under - and even then, while effective for a select few individuals, I do not see change coming out of those.

There is no path towards a vegan world to be taken, the best thing to hope for is the utter destruction of all regimes, and the annihilation of human supremacy one way or another. Which is something no individual can bring about, and it probably won't happen for centuries, so it's moot.

Might as well make your own reality and surroundings the best they can be. There is naught left to do for us.

This year is the year I get swole and dunk on everyone unhealthy. Not really a resolution as I started the process long ago and refined it with time in part thanks to Hamid's advice of going noil, and also reconstructing my way of eating thanks to congee.

Already lost 14kgs in 4 months (and a lot more before that) - doing sports every day for one month and a half. I am now 69kgs for 1m77 - overweightness being distant now, and definitely being into the healthy range, is a great feeling. Especially when most of my self worth stems from my physical appearance (specifically weight) and how disciplined I am related to eating and exercising.

Now if only I could also be pain free, now that'd be swell.

That's amazing lol if you're anything like us you will cherish it every day.

For milk it's more 60g per litre so you'd have 15-20 litres per kg of beans - more than that and it's very thick.

We leave the okara inside often when cooking but otherwise we filter it out with a cheese cloth on the side - but it's drinkable unfiltered just a bit grainy. And we just compost it when we do throw it away.

Tbh we only use it to make nut milks and soy milk, but I've made soup once or twice with it. I don't think it's its best use however.

Ours is a Joyoung, definitely a luxury model but with how often it is used it'd have been scarcely needed to spare pocket change over the initial purchase and would have lead to it being used less often.

It's great lol it has like a small tube that rotates and throws all the water it uses for cleaning into a separate container.

It's probably made back what it cost us several times over.

We do fine without fortification as we are proud weak vegans.

Obviously our Joyoung self-cleaning soy milk machine.

Is there anything else to add? Everyone should have one.

I know what you mean - I have the same problem with mosquitoes - who do they think I am, a mammal?!

Whatcha Readin'? (24/12/10) (vegantheoryclub.org)

Personally I've been finally back making some progress on my pile after not reading much for a few months.

First I finished Kathy Acker's "Blood and Guts in High School" - it would be hard and dishonest to try to describe it, it seems to elude any easy definition that wouldn't reduce what it is. In a way it's a mad world, an ethereal descent and ascent into a broken mind, or the ur-broken mind, an epic of the object of society. In less pretentious terms: it's for the neurotic girls out there. Heavy TWs for basically everything though:

spoilerpedophilia, incest, sexual assault, sexual slavery, whatever you get the point at this point.

I just finished "Amérique" by Baudrillard - I guess it is easy to describe it as just an application of his concept of hypperreality to the most hyperreal place - America, taking the loose form of a travel diary. And it is! But it is really as thought-provoking as "Simulacres et Simulation" was - his vision of space and the desert itself as a signifier and "precursor" to the self-proclaimed city on a hill being really the strong-point of this short essay.

And I am finally starting "The Dangers of Smoking in Bed"! I'll try and talk about it here when I finish it.

Would the Shoah be more excusable were the remains of its victims to be reused?
