A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

That’s Just, Like, Your Opinion, Man


Meat is Murder tattoo

I used to feel this way too, back when I was pregnant for the last time. But now that I’ve changed my plea to guilty, I just find myself hoping every day is like Sunday. Doesn’t make sense to you? Well, sister, I’m a poet.

… and that’s more than enough of that. Mornin’, ModBlog!

(The above tattoo is on IAM: xtruthx, and is by Simon Erl at Hope and Glory in London, England.))

    I saw pigs being transported this morning (probably to be slaughtered) I convinced myself they were just being taken to a nicer farm. Their snouts were slightly poking out, I’m glad I won’t be eating any of them!

    No vegetarians eat fish; if the only animal flesh you consume is fish then you are, by definition, a pescatarian.

    an absurd comment, Of course meat isn’t murder

    murder is an unlawful killing

    meat is animal tissue used as food

    (note firstly the two aren’t the same, rendering the statement useless from the start)

    secondly i’m guessing you aren’t being that literal so we’ll step a bit further

    if murder is an unlawful killing and meat comes from a dead animal which has to have been theoretically killed we must look as to whether the killing is unlawful… the answer is no it’s not thus meat isn’t murder.

    Now if you were to get the tattoo re-done as “meat is an unnecessary killing of an animal” then i will look at your point again from a non-vegetarian perspective. :- )
