  2. Heard y'all like cat pictures?
    We had a relaxed day with lots of cuddles and long naps for both humans and Matthieu the cat.
    Because of all the naps, I still need to get some work done now, but it was worth it!

    @erwinrossen no pictures of Matthieu in action, but I hope this will do :blobcatangel:

  3. #FollowThis is an interesting organization. They buy stocks collectively from oil giants on behalf of concerned citizens. This way, they get a place at the shareholders meetings and are able to submit resolutions to align the companies' targets with the Paris Climate Agreement.

    It's easy to buy a share each from #Shell, #TotalEnergies, #BP, #Chevron and #ExxonMobil and have them represent you. And if you ever need the money back, you can sell it again. Sounds neat, huh!

  4. What can non-profits do to advance #AlternativeProtein?

    💰 Non-profits push for fair regulations and work to redirect government funding, for example Danish Vegetarian Foundation.

    🔬 Non-profits fund research and connect researchers to drive alt protein innovation, for example The Good Food Institute.

    🐄 Non-profits educate the public on the issues with factory farming, for example The Humane League and Sinergia Animal.

  5. This article shows why it's important that non-profits get involved in developing #AlternativeProtein solutions.

    It’s a problem that alt proteins don’t compete on a level playing field. The factory farming industry has stacked the deck. The goal however isn’t just to level the playing field, but to shift the advantage in the other direction.

    Compare it to renewable energy. Early investments in solar would just not have made money, but now it’s a thriving industry.

  6. Van de week de 3D geprinte plantaardige steak op van #Loetje. Mijn oordeel over deze New Meat 0.0? Best #VeganMeat ever! De textuur is echt overtuigend. De smaak komt meer van de jus dan van de steak, maar dat geldt bij Loetje ook voor de vlees steaks. Samen is dit echt lekker (als je niet vies bent van vet en zout)!

  7. <rant> Worked on an HTML email with a little bit of CSS styles in #SparkPost today. I have one template for which this is working, but another template where I am basically doing the same where the styles are not taken into account in my Gmail web client. Why is CSS never working the way you expect it to work? </rant>

    > Is the alternative you propose "Don't do good" or "Try to do good, but in a random way without caring if it actually helps"?

    there are problems with the belief that •donating money• is central to •doing good•.

    i am not saying you have these beliefs. since you yourself are vegan, you can probably see these problems too.

    one problem is this: organisations, who want more money, have an incentive to overstate the effect of donations (to receive more of them) and an incentive to understate the effect of personal change (so as to not alienate potential donors who are hostile towards change).

    therefore, you have organisations like #farmkind who tell people to NOT go vegan but just give them money, because it is scientifically proven to be more effective to do this instead.

    organisations like #DanishVegetarianSociety have joined this campaign, and they are hosting meat-eating competitions — for the animals. they justify this approach with research and statistics.

    i have attached an ad for their #CompassionCalculator app.

    what i suggest is this: when people argue something that sounds absurd, then i don't care and i don't think others should care whatever "research" is used to justify this. the alternative to acting according to this "science" is not to act randomly.

    instead i suggest listening to your own heart and those around you who make sensible arguments.

    if you like, i can share one or two absurd arguments that effective altruists have made to me.

    thank you for having this discussion with me, and most of all: thank you for being #vegan.

  9. Heel veel mensen zijn wel tegen de bio-industrie, maar vinden het moeilijk om hun dieet aan te passen. Speciaal voor heen heeft #FarmKind een #CompassionCalculator gemaakt. Het werkt als carbon offsetting, maar dan voor je dieet! Bereken hoeveel jij bijdraagt aan dierenleed met je dieet, en bepaal welk bedrag aan effectieve goede doelen dit zou compenseren. 🌏❤️🐄💸

  12. @erwinrossen @Joop Nieuwe #atoomstroom is ook qua doorlooptijd waanzin. Voordat één zo'n ding gebouwd is ben je 15 jaar én tientallen miljarden subsidie verder.

  13. Do you think this connection affects the credibility of the data presented by Our World In Data? #OurWorldInData

  14. It's sad to learn that #AmazonSmile is stopping donating to charities. It's even more depressing to learn that the program was never designed to be as generous as it was presented, but to fuck over Google and have to pay that company less in referral fees.

    (weg van het neoliberalisme, racisme en fascisme en de daaruit voortvloeiende onderdrukkingspraktijken die armoede en ongelijkheid in stand houden). Mijn indruk is dat dit niet is waar EA'ers zich hard voor maken, maar ik hoor het graag als ik dat verkeerd zie. #MoreleAmbitie #EffectiefAltruisme #GoedDoen 10/10

  16. Today we celebrate #WorldMilkDay!

    There is so much different milk these days, there is definitely a milk for you. You want a creamy texture and sweet flavor, go for #OatMilk. You're more into a nutty flavor? Go for #AlmondMilk. Is violently taking away a baby from its mother and killing it a few weeks later more your thing, go for #CowMilk. Or if you prefer a healthy drink rich in protein and calcium, go for #SoyMilk. 🥛

    #DairyMilk comes from pregnant, birthing, lactating mothers — gentle beings who were separated from their own mothers, then from their babies, mutilated, and sexually abused, time and time again, until they eventually break down and are slaughtered, all for a product that humans don't even need.

    Please educate yourself about this issue. 🐮🥛🐄

  18. @ethicalrevolution Not saying that these are invalid points, but it's missing the most important step for ethical consumption: skip meat and animal-based products!

    How unethical the current bio industry is, needs no explanation. But also if it's the climate you care about, you should care more about what you eat than where it's coming from. Sources:

  19. De overheid heeft besloten de #suikertaks op bijna alle melksoorten toe te passen per januari 2024. De enige manier om hier als melkfabrikant onderuit te komen is door koeien te misbruiken: alleen melk van koeien (inclusief chocomel!) vormt een uitzondering.

    Dat dit helemaal nergens op slaat hoef ik jullie natuurlijk niet uit te leggen. Willen jullie dan ook deze petitie tekenen om politieke besluitvormers te lobbyen?

  20. Good news! 🌱 🙌 The FDA will allow for calling #PlantBasedMilk milk. Turns out that consumers are not misled by the use of the term “milk” for plant-based milk, who would have thought?!

    The FDA recommends to add a voluntary nutrient comparison on the packaging such that the consumer can make informed decisions.

    Shoutout to #ProVegInternational for raising awareness to this issue.

  21. CW: Exposing truth behind dairy milk

    "I stick my hand up this cow's vagina to inject her with semen, so she will give birth, so I can kill her baby and steal her milk."

    When you put it like this, it does sound gross, doesn't it? Source: vegansidekick.com/

  22. Een 18-jarige kan in Nederland zomaar de helft minder betaald krijgen dan een 21-jarige, voor exact hetzelfde werk. Het minimumloon is € 13,68 per uur, maar een 18-jarige krijgt maar € 6,84 betaald, ver onder het sociaal minimum. Nergens anders in Europa krijgen jonge werknemers zo slecht betaald als in Nederland.

    Teken deze petitie om Eddy van Hijum (minister van sociale zaken) een zetje te geven om hier iets aan te doen!

  23. Slechts vijf landen lossen de VN belofte in om minstens 0,7% van het BNP uit te geven aan #ontwikkelingshulp. 🇳🇴 🇱🇺 🇸🇪 🇩🇪 🇩🇰

    Ik schaam me om in een van de welvarendste landen ter wereld te leven, en we kunnen nog niet 0,7% van ons inkomen spenderen aan mensen die het echt heel veel beter kunnen gebruiken dan wij. 🥹
