Welcome to my last episode of my ~5 part series~
In today's episode, I consider the intersection of my 3 favourite isms - ecofeminism, decolonialism and veganism. I piece through how each of these are linked in some way and consider how our food systems are linked to the oppression of both human and non-human others.

In todays episode of absolute word vomit, I talk through my experience with what I could only describe as possible eco-anxiety. I read about this for the first time last year and remember thinking... surely not!? But alas, here I am a year later talking all about it!
For reference - this BBC article provides eco-cellent info about it all.

In this episode I talk about where we draw the link when it comes to being a perfect vegan. Maybe this makes me a crappy vegan but I believe that everyone has a line. If you are vegan, where do you draw the line?

In this episode I consider my own changing perspective on whether farmers are to blame for the issues of animal agriculture. I am still working through all my own thoughts but I do draw on some pretty certain conclusions - I don't think farmers should hold all the blame. What do you think?
