aesthetical

freshginseng:

1) what fictional characters have inspired your aesthetic

2) what eras define your aesthetic

3) give me three songs that define your aesthetic

4) give me three pictures not featuring people or clothing that display the essence of your aesthetic

5) how has your aesthetic changed (or not changed) over the years

6) what clothing item or accessory is currently the highest on your dream wishlist

7) what are the things you want people to associate with you when they see you

8) in an ideal world what food and drink items would be consistently on your menu and would be associated with you

9) what is your first memory of trying to establish a sense of fashion or aesthetic for yourself

I’m sorry but interviewing a dairy farmer with cows in metal pens behind her to get her view of veganism is a bit skewed #itv, of course, she is going to defend her farm and how she treats her animals. Maybe going undercover and exploring how the animals on British farms are treated day to day and considering why so many people are worried about the treatment of farm animals would have been a better report.

i think what irritates me the most about the ‘UK food is gross lol’ posts is that it completely ignores the fact that most of foods people are laughing at i.e. black pudding, haggis, plain baked goods, boiled shit etc. generally stem from either traditional recipes from poor folk wherein blood/grains/offal were all they could afford, and secondly the wars and rationing. you couldn’t get sugar or salt, let alone spices, and a family of seven would get rationed a single egg a month. a lot of older folk and their baby boomer kids grew up with everything rationed to hell and so meals were what could be scraped together with coupons from the meagre shit at the market. as for the continued popularity of these foods, it’s familiarity. there are disgusting poverty meals that i still make and eat from my childhood because it’s sheer comfort food. ugly as all fuck, basic as all fuck, but who cares when it’s intrinsic to who you are and where you came from?

tl;dr americans really need to shut the fuck up about the uk’s peasant food when half your country revel in heart attack burgers and put 5 cups of sugar into everything

Just realised I have been vegan for five years and meat-free for seven, how time flies  

This also means that my best buddy Griffin is seven years old

Anyone else just not like the taste of sweet potato, but finds that nearly every vegan main meal recipe contains it

At sixteen I had five grandparents (one great) sixteen years later I have one grandparent left alive

There is a difference between being vegan and being a whole foods vegan and that difference is processed food
