America is absolutely disconnected to meat

I think I realized this when I had went to see my dad and stepmom one day and asked if I could place my hawk’s food. (A rabbit leg) in the freezer. My step mom was disgusted by the idea that a leg from an animal was in the freezer meanwhile an entire chicken was sitting in the fridge.

Your rotisserie chicken is an entire chicken.

Your pork chop is a hunk of pig.

Your rack of ribs are from a cow’s rib cage.

It’s like Americans view meat as colorful red and pink hued shapes that just exist and come into the world packaged.

You see so many people getting harassed or even having their content flagged for showing how to process or field dress meat when it’s at it’s freshest. Right after culling. For some reason this is considered “gore” by many folks when in reality it’s no more different from plucking a processed chicken after cull.

You also notice that Americans have an idea of what’s normal meat and what isn’t normal meat and there’s racist undertones that I’ve noticed in a lot of these comments left on foreign cooking videos

You have people that claim a video of a man in a different country preparing something like this is “eating a dog.” Meanwhile this is roasted goat.

You have people who’s only perception of an edible fish is in fillet or fish stick form and they call something like this nasty because “Eww there’s a head!” Yeah.. most animals have heads..

Some of ya’ll need to realize what your meat looks like prior to processing and that it’s prepared in different ways. We also need to erase the stigma behind non traditional meats.

Please, try and learn at least a little sign language. It goes a long way.

From the little sign language I've learned (only a few simple words like sorry, hi, I love you, and thank you) it's opened me up to SO much about the deaf community. Much more than I knew before hand.

and btw if you can say fuck terfs or terfs dni or "respecting trans women juice" then you can celebrate us when we get put on magazine covers and you can listen to our voices when we tell our stories and you can support us when we're put into the spotlight. being an ally to trans women does not stop when you say fuck terfs lol! thats where it starts because saying terfs dni is not actually doing anything to protect trans women and its not doing anything to show actual material support it's simply telling our oppressors you dont like them.

Heyo folks 👋🏾. So I need help again. However, I wanted to thank everyone who helped me to get what I needed last time. However, this time I need help with buying groceries to last until mid-end of January. I'm currently unemployed and my mum is swamped with bills therefore, were unable to buy the necessities such as food or personal care items.

To normally cover this expense, it would be about $25,409.47 JMD which is about $165.00 USD. Currently 1 JMD = 155 USD.

Linked below is my PayPal account. I accept any amount donated. It would really mean A LOT to my mum and I. If you can't donate please reblog this post. I'd really appreciate it by 110% !!

ETSY STRIKE INFO

I know it’s not my normal content but I’ve shared things about my Etsy shop on here before so I wanted to post about the Etsy strike going on from April 11-18.

We are striking because Etsy has continued to increase fees for shop owners and are increasing their transaction fee from 5% to 6.5%. Myself and many of my fellow shop owners are using Etsy as a primary source of income and this increase would mean we would make even less than we already do.

On top of transaction fees etsy takes .20 per listing posted, .20 to auto-renew a listing (which happens every three months or so), and a payment fee of 3% + .25 per sale.

We are making more demands of Etsy like ending the star seller program, cracking down on resellers, and removing roadblocks between shop owners and their earnings (including their infamously shitty shop support system). Please do more research on your own and educate yourself about the demands and issues in this matter.

I will be participating and putting my shop in vacation mode and we ask that you don’t purchase from Etsy during that time.

Obviously not everyone will be able to participate in the strike but we ask that you support those striking and not purchase on Etsy during those days. If you would like to buy from an Etsy seller during that time contact them directly.

Give your money to artists not corporations.

But I knew that in the end, that our love was for nothing. Since I had none left for her, but she had plenty for me..

for whilst she had butterflies for me, I had moths eating away ate my care for her.
