Oh my goodness, I'm drooling 🤤

I’m sick of it all. Or maybe it’s just working in the climate/water field and internalizing how fucked we are- or how little anyone cares.

Hello, are you me?

I have tried two apps which worked until they didn't, but that was mostly because I got out of the routine of using them because of minor inconveniences disturbing my morning routines.

Finch gamifies the routine and might work if you feel more compelled to do things for others. Unfortunately I am a ruthless tamagotchi abandoner so it doesn't work as a motivator for me.

The other is Routine Flow which I want to recommend because it includes timers. That can help you if you daydream and take too long to do certain tasks. Just this afternoon I just stood in the bathroom after brushing my teeth LMAO.

No shame in including things like brushing your teeth or eating. It's awesome that you are finding things that help you live a healthier life 💖

(You didn't say if you were just venting or if you were looking for discussion so I'm sorry if you were just venting.)

Is the part that bothers you that this is wide spread or that you are included in it? If it's you, what injustice do you think would be easiest to 'do something' about?

Good to know!

The garbage?

What works for me is they are everywhere in my home and workplace lol. And in my jacket pocket.

I have a variety of implements because I lose them and find them in waves. I keep something like a stress ball in my jacket pocket . I've got this cube with different clickers, switches etc on each face. I've got a fake cell phone that's just buttons. I've got those plastic popper (like reusable bubble wrap) on my keychain.

I work in a professional environment in a leadership position and I've almost always got a stress ball type thing in my hand being squished. Especially in meetings where I'm doing most of the talking. It lets me do a rhythmic action to regulate whatever is going on in my loud ass brain lol. It's also silent.

Others have said this but you just have to try things. Personally, I don't do well with the spinning magnet ones or the ones that are like the bike chains. Thankfully many of these things can be inexpensive. I've bought things from autism support websites and also from toy stores. They also make nice little treats for yourself lol.

I should clarify: when I refer to people who aren't committed to veganism I am referring to the same people you are referring to when you say "people who aren't", i.e. the non vegans discussing veganism.

I think the piece of information that is being missed is that VTC is inherently anti capitalist and therefore the concept of "supporting businesses" so that they can survive doesn't really make sense in that context. (See link Hamid posted)

If I understand my history correctly, Vegan Theory Club is a theory club for vegans, not a club for vegan theory specifically.

There is a discord server of the same name which is way more active for the discussion of leftist theory. Members of the instance can make communities - it's just no one has created one specifically to talk about vegan theory.

Hamid was respond to a suggestion for communities for vegans to debate carnists which db0 correctly identified as draining.

I'm not sure what debate between vegans would be. Debating our interpretation of texts? There is a book club community that's perfect for that.

So, last time people were mad that vegans were mean to them this community got created:

https://lemmy.world/c/plantbased

Edit: I should finish my coffee before posting, the only post there literally points to this more active com lol: https://lemmy.world/c/plantbased@lemmy.dbzer0.com

See: https://lemmy.world/post/23634881

We all know r/vegan exists and is a cesspit of carnists, but there doesn't seem to be an actual demand for a 'plant based' space. I'm not sure why people would post about something they are kind of meh and not committed to?

If people are interested in just the food, there are communities for that:

• https://vegantheoryclub.org/c/homecooks
• https://vegantheoryclub.org/c/recipes

I really don't think the rules there are onerous. Just don't talk about abusing animals and don't be a jerk to the other posters and you're good?
