Episode 50 (!!!) of the Podcast

by

Time flies when you are releasing the most low-effort DIY podcast on the planet.

Episode 50 of a weekly podcast means Josh and I are coming up on a full year of the Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast. If you have been watching all that time, I know you are not any wiser for it but hopefully we’ve been keeping you company.

The latest episode features chat about vegan pizza in Brighton, the sadness of UK seaside towns, and the strange career choices of Scarlett Johansson.

You can catch up on this latest episode via the platforms below and probably a few others I don’t know about because I am so DIY and cool. I don’t even know where my pod is published!

15 Years of Teaming Up With Vegan Businesses

by

I’ve enjoyed the opportunities I’ve had to work with many compassionate and creative vegan businesses over the past 15 years. Being able to merge my love for vegan food, community, and activism into meaningful collaborations has felt like a true privilege.

Why is this important to me?

Australia Is Calling

by

I was born and raised in Australia and, even though I’ve spent a good chunk of my adult life living in the UK, the idea of going back to my original country has been drifting into my thoughts more frequently.

Maybe it’s the passing of time. Maybe it’s the feeling of getting older and realising that I want to be closer to people I love. Maybe it’s just time.

Still Blogging After All These Years (and Sweets)

by

There are moments when I sit down to write this blog and genuinely wonder how I’ve managed to keep it going for fifteen years.

Fifteen years. That’s longer than most houseplants survive.

But why do I keep doing it?

Another Tuesday means another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast.

On Saturday 14th June, 2025 I’ll be heading to the Thameside Complex in Grays to sit on stage as part of the Pride panel line-up. They have kindly invited me along to be interviewed about my decade and a half of living as Fat Gay Vegan, the adventures that spring from that name, and the activism that keeps me going.

Why I’m Writing on Medium (And Why You Should Read My Latest Post For Free!)

by

I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a long time now. Fat Gay Vegan has always been my corner of the Internet where I get to talk about food, community, activism, and all the little and big things that bring us together (or sometimes push us apart a bit hahahaha!).

But sometimes, a topic comes along that doesn’t quite sit in the same lane as where this blog motors along. It doesn’t mean it’s less important. Just different. And for that kind of writing, I use a platform called Medium.

Why Does My Vegan Activism Look Like A Party?

by

There’s a lot to admire when it comes to how people raise awareness about veganism. Marches, campaigns, hard-hitting documentaries, online debates, digital content. It’s all part of the movement.

But me? I’ve always preferred to live loudly, openly, and unapologetically as a vegan while I create celebratory spaces. I like to plan parties and I want as many non-vegans as possible to join me.

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.
