New Podcast: Episode 42

by

It’s Tuesday already so that means another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast.

Josh and I spend some of this week’s episode remembering Brisbane, especially the relentlessly warm weather. I’ve been considering relocating to Australia and have been thinking about the realities of living there.

It’s not all perfect, that’s for sure!

We also discuss the absolute garbage state of transphobia in the UK right now and how crucial it is for us all to support trans, non-binary, and intersex people.

You can watch/listen to the episode on YouTube:

Bakery No Longer Vegan And No Longer In London

by

I’m feeling confused.

I was in Ealing Broadway this weekend, taking a look around the shops and catching up on all the vegan options in the area. I headed to Benji’s Buns, what I remembered to be a vegan cinnamon bun bakery, only to find it closed with a big ‘to let’ sign in the window.

I finally got around to doing some research today and what I discovered has left me feeling bemused.

Trans Rights, Bath Bombs, And A Bit Of Hope On The High Street

by

You know how sometimes a vegan bath bomb is more than just a vegan bath bomb? This is one of those times.

LUSH, the high street favourite known for fizzy tubs and bold campaigns, has launched something that genuinely made me pause and smile. And not just because it smells lovely or looks cute sitting on the side of your bath.

The Liberation bath bomb is all about standing up for trans lives and celebrating the kind of future we should all want to live in.

Why Vegans Should Care About Trans Rights

by

Sometimes people ask why I talk about more than just food on this blog. Shouldn’t a vegan blog just be about plant-based eating, restaurant tips, and which vegan sausage roll is London’s finest?

For me, veganism has always been about more than what’s on the plate.

If we’re talking about justice for animals, how can we ignore justice for people? If we’re pushing back against systems that profit from suffering, how can we turn a blind eye when those systems hurt our fellow humans?

That’s why I believe vegan activists should care about trans rights.

New Podcast: Episode 41

by

The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is online now for your viewing and listening (dis)pleasure.

In this DIY podcast, Josh and I talk about whatever comes to mind. So, what comes to mind in episode 41?

The conversation this week deals with the emotional rollercoaster of clothes shopping to reflections on the passing of Pope Francis and the process of picking a replacement.

We also have a lot to say about celebrity space flights. Katy Perry joined Jeff Bezos’s pointless rocket club and we ask why billionaires are wasting resources on space tourism when there is so much work to do here on Earth.

Along the way, we chat about vegan potluck etiquette, the reality of supporting local businesses over Amazon, and the gay acting expertise of Stanley Tucci.

Vegan Baked Treats Shipped UK Wide

by

One of the most memorable days of my life was my wedding day in Sheffield back in 2021.

If you can remember those confusing times, it was during one of the lockdowns or partial lockdowns. Such a shit time. Despite the uncertainty and the strange atmosphere of the world, it was a truly magical day filled with love, joy and, of course, cake.

Not just any cake. A vegan wedding cake.
