please offset your impact on factory-farmed animals—their living conditions are nothing short of torture.

Being trans gives you a very dark window from which to look out at humanity, where even something supposedly sacred and inviolable like the love of parents for their children turns out to be deeply contingent and subject to whims

I recently wrote about the effort to end the torture of pigs. On Thursday, @Dwarkesh_sp, @AvitalBalwit, and @NanRansohoff are hosting an in-person party for folks in the Bay Area to support the effort!

Animal welfare often gets talked about as if it's wishy washy, but saying about how I think pigs shouldn't be tortured always feels like I'm the one with my feet on the ground and it's other people building these mental castles in the sky about the imagined natural order
The way we torture pigs is a sin. We can afford to pay a little more for one kind of food in order to not torture hundreds of millions of these poor animals.
