I am thrilled to announce the return of the legendary London Vegan Beer Fest.

Stranger Things, Veganuary & Violence
It’s a strange mix of topics on the podcast this week.
Josh and I chat about our reactions to the Stranger Things finale, the terrifying reality of violence in the USA, and the power of Veganuary as a form of vegan activism.
Bad quality video and audio. Often bad takes on topics. But we keep making these episodes of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) regardless.

Biggest Vegan Stories of 2025
I meant to write this blog post a few days ago but already it feels like 2026 is running away from me.
Take a look below for the most-read blog posts from FatGayVegan.com throughout 2025.

Do You Know My Friend Josh?
Today I wanted to take a few moments of your time to draw attention to a song called Empty Seat and the person behind it.
The song feels especially poignant to me because it was written and performed by my friend Josh, who many of you will know was my partner for twenty years. The song is an emotional look at the end of our relationship as it morphed into an ongoing friendship and how Josh managed to process the emotions around it.
Vegan Market in East London
The date for Veganuary Fest 2026 is fast approaching, so I wanted to stop by with the updated trader list for the day.
Of course you know the event is taking place from midday on Saturday January 24, 2026 at Signature Brew out at Blackhorse Road, but you might not know what food is being served on the day.

Vegan Steak in East London
I really admire how the kitchen at The Spread Eagle in Homerton keeps pushing forward with new and inventive dishes.
The 100% vegan pub has long been a hot spot for tasty and creative plant-based cuisine and this new steak plate is no exception.

Veganism Disrupts Normalised Violence
The mainstreaming of animal exploitation goes on and on. It is not hidden away in some dark corner. It’s not a secret. It is right there in front of us every single day, but the trick is that the violence is made to feel normal.
From an early age we are taught a set of stories that smooth everything over. Animals are happy. Farming is wholesome. Meat is inevitable. Language does a lot of heavy lifting here. Killing becomes processing. Body parts become products. Suffering becomes efficiency.
Veganism is about seeing this suffering for what it is… and doing something about it.
