Movie review: Plantpure Nation
Plantpure Nation is a program developed by Campbell’s son, the father wrote the famous China nutrition study and now I have to read it for sure. Several other authors feature Michel Greger and David Robinson Simon. The program established itself by introducing the plant based diet to a small place with tons of meat eaters…

Movie review: Earthlings
I finished another classic animal rights documentary. It starts by defining speciesism and showcases how it’s similar to other social injustices. Then it goes to show how our pets get killed and how we tend to resort to the cheapest methods available which are the most painful. Pets, or a better word for them– companions…

Book review: The Happy Herbivore Guide to Plant-Based Living by Lindsay S. Nixon
This is Nota’s review of “The Happy Herbivore Guide to Plant-based Living” by Lindsay S. Nixon, I gave it 4/5 stars I read this as I got a cold from relatives who do not care about their health as much, and reading this while that happened hits certain points much harder. I deserve to prioritise…

Book review: Feminisms: A Global History by Lucy Delap
This took a long time to finish as when I started it I was disillusioned with the idea of feminism as some of the activists have disappointed me in person. But now that I continued it I was disillusioned with vegan activism. The text is so factual, dry, but the reactions it got out of…

Book review: Buy Yourself The Damn Flowers by Tam Kaur
This is a simple book on a subject I need to drill into my head. The way the author put some of her experiences, and recontextualized it was very relatable, and helpful because I am also a very obsessive personality when it comes to romantic relationships. Like probably most people as I see most of…

Book review: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod
This is a very simple self-help book. I think I did take away some things, but also noticed some things weren’t right. Some stuff I heard over, and over before, but it helped to hear it in a different voice, perspective, and I will take away some positive things from this book for sure. The…

Book review: Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft
This is a book on abusive behaviours of men, and how they can escalate over time, how they never truly vanish, and how if one abuses it must have been deeply ingrained to them. Helping an abuser is like trying to reverse decades of programming sometimes which puts a lot of things into perspective. This…

Book review: The four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz
This book was recommended to me by my friend Stella Paris. Check out her cool music videos, she is a vegan artist, and so much more! This is a simple, short, and fun book to develop a practice towards non-duality. It simplifies it into a very accessible language. It lays out a framework of how…

Book review: The Anatomy of Loneliness: How to Find Your Way Back to Connection
This book is a gamechanger on what I will be willing to accept from relationships, and how I will go about them. I want to read more about shamans especially now, there was this one I wanted to read from previously, and that need is now inflamed. This is such an encompassing, and holistic perspective…

Book review: The Sculptor In The Sky
This book has raised my awareness, and understanding of the world significantly. I am able to look at the bigger picture way more clearly now, and develop my own theories surrounding it. It also helps to watch Teal’s videos alongside this. I kinda want to go onto other teacher’s now, but I am not sure…
