Can we stop pretending animal rights is childish and silly and naive?
Apathy towards animals is easy and doing what every one tells you even though you know it’s wrong is childish. Hurting others to get what you want is childish.
Being kind is not innocent or naive, it’s being a damn adult and doing what’s right even when it’s hard.
“Weird is liberating. You can just give up trying to fit in. Because you never will. And yet in a way, now you will. There’s something going on in our culture that’s allowing people to let their freak flags fly. We live in an individualistic, selfie world. There’s more room for different kinds of people now. It’s not like the fifties. Once the toothpaste of weirdness gets out of the tube, you can’t put it back in, you know? I’ve always liked movies that say, “There’s another way to live. There’s another way to be happy,” because those feelings stay with you your whole life. That’s true about weird people, too. They’re seekers. They stay with you. There is something about them that lingers.”— Mike White, creator of Enlightened, in Esquire Magazine.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

“Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest — thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.”— Beau Taplin
