Thank you, Mychael! I know this is an old article now, but it was very well-written. You helped clarify many of my own thoughts as a fellow vegan.

I fell into habits of poking fun at myself, and promoting a more reducetarian perspective, because it felt like an easier, lower-conflict way to communicate with the mainstream population. However, this essay encourages me to advocate what I really believe in – and what animals really deserve… while continuing to be friendly and manage my relationships and emotions well. 😁

Awesome writing. ☀️
