@Sam Gullo ok thank you! I noted it in my calendar so I remember

@Sam Gullo wait what time zone you referring to?

That’s so nice you doing this for wang rang so heartbreaking what they went through 😣

Soooo true John! I believe that’s our priority as vegans. Sadly I got kicked out of this program that was a really big help for me because I speak up 😡😤 There were haters that didn’t like hearing me speaking to others about it. They went behind my back and lied that I was food shaming them. And the staff in turn hated me for that lie. I only speak about it when they ask me questions 🤷🏽‍♀️ I see no harm in that I’m doing what I’m suppose to do educate to bring awareness awaken people. They pulled me into the office and told me that I am NOT to speak about veganism AT ALL that if they find out they will kick me out. And well I didn’t listen because like HOW DARE THEY TRY TO SILENCE ME! So they called me in again telling me that I’m violating rules. I tried to defend myself telling them “I’m innocent! I’m not trying to food shame anyone. I only answer questions honestly when people ask me about it that’s it.” But they did not care they threatened me again that if it happens again they will kick me out the program. I asked them “So I personally only me do not have freedom of speech? I thought we had freedom of speech?” They said “you do but just some things you can’t like food shaming”. I again said “but I wasn’t food shaming” and they said “if you say it loud enough for others to hear YES it’s food shaming”. I’m like “OMG! 😩 I speak in a normal voice as possible it’s hard to talk low in a noisy place and I only talk about it when they question me.. it’s not right you treating me this way!” They said “that’s enough. This meeting is adjourned and it still stands you cannot talk about it for others to hear you not in this place” I was SOOOO ANGRY 😡 couldn’t believe I was being treated this way 😭 Well a staff decided to lie on me that the person they put me to sit by had stated that I was talking horrible stuff while playing bingo so terrible that they can’t say all that I said and that it was very disturbing cursing and taking bad about people. I didn’t even know that person and I didn’t talk to her at all yet they still used that lie to kick me out and added “it’s not only that it’s everything.. is how you keep talking about veganism when we told you not to”

@Vicky Nelson yes Vicky thank you 💯 everything you said is horrible indeed that people try to silence us and it’s important that no matter what we stick to our grounds and continue speaking up for the animals is why I can’t ever go back to that program because I know they will kick me out for permanent the 2nd time 🤦🏽‍♀️ I know this because no matter what I will NOT stay quiet

I have ants that somehow stays on the floor it doesn’t climb up on counter like some ants do. But ugh I don’t want to kill them 😭 I appreciate them. I highly believe they are here for a good reason 🥺 they amaze me how they work so hard. In my home they act like a cleanup crew. The more of them there are the faster they clean up the mess I leave behind on the floor. So I don’t kill them I let them be. In case you wondering why I let them be let me tell you a story how that began.. So one day I dropped something on the floor when I caught cramp on my feet. I went to sit down until it went away it was painful it took a lot out of me emotionally. I decided to lay down to calm down after that episode. A few minutes later I go back into the kitchen to clean up the mess I dropped and was shocked and amazed when I saw a lot of ants working hard cleaning up the mess. A quick response for me was to vacuum them up then dump them outdoors but something inside of me wanted to watch them work instead. I think it was the fact that the mess was almost gone. So I grabbed a chair and watched them WHEN I TELL YOU THEY LEFT MY FLOOR SPOTLESS 😳 like OH MY WORD I SWEAR 🤯 and they went back into their home somewhere in my home. And I did not see them again after that UNTIL I dropped another mess. I didn’t watch them this time I left and let them do their job AGAIN when I came back the ants AND the mess was gone POOF AND MY FLOOR SPOTLESS 😱 AGAIN That was 2 months ago and it’s still like that till this day. They don’t bother me. They hava home in my home and come out only to clean the floor for me 😂 And then they go back home after their work is done 🥰 and I’m proud of me to have gained such knowledge and understanding about them. And so because of that I learned to appreciate them so much more than ever and learned to respect them and let them be give them their peace 🥰 Now if ants climb up to my counter now THAT’S a different story 🥺 I will have to vacuum them and put them out 😭 and just learn to keep my counter clean at all times which I do anyways and problem solved 😁

That should say “win” not general discussion 😃 But yea thank you sooo much for sharing you gave us a very helpful tip like that question you asked I like that. Those are the questions that not only makes them think but REALLY WAKE THEM UP and that’s what we want we want them to wake up. So yea it’s why we must share with one another our win of getting someone to go vegan because we learn from one another for better activism to bring many more to join the cause. So I so appreciate this and going to be asking that question to many nonvegans that said something like “well I’m not ready to go vegan” ugh I really hate when they say that because sounds so selfish 🤦🏽‍♀️ but hopefully that question will wake them up. out of that
