I would be stoked to get to join this trip as a kid.

An actual fairly solarpunk hotel: low-carbon concrete, reclaimed fencing wood, mushroom "leather" tapestries. in c/[email protected]

Also the rooms are gonna be $300/night which is insane by my standards but I guess makes sense for a luxury hotel.

Only bummer is they won't have all-vegan restaurants.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being mean when I pick on my nonvegan friends. in c/[email protected]

It sounds a lot like you want us to be silent so you don't have to think about it.

Most people intellectually understand that torturing and killing animals is wrong and they don't want to do it. But they can put it into the back of their minds unless the vegans in their life remind them of what they look like to us.

And personally, I firmly believe that getting those little reminders from my friends added up over years for me until I realized it was worth it to make the change.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I do. People get uncomfortable for a second, but I feel like I have to remind them what their actions look like from my perspective. I've realized that if I don't make jokes, they just never think about it!

But then I remember I didn't take their children away, hook them up to a machine to extract food from them, or kill them. And that makes me feel like making fun of carnists is not so bad.

Carrying a sailboat by bike (slrpnk.net)
 

I'm car free so I've had to come up with some creative solutions to moving some big stuff around. Probably the toughest thing I've had to tow is my 12 ft sailboat. I modified my existing trailer to add a tag-along child bike trailer.
