  1. Thanks for another great episode!

    I find it immensely useful to listen to activists talking about their personal experiences with advocating veganism. I’m (still) more active on the internet than on the streets, but I’ve already learned so much listening to Gary, Adam, or you I can’t value it enough. Please do go on! :-)

    However, I’ve had a lot of opportunities to talk to people about veganism simply by having a "vegan" sticker on my bike or by wearing a pullover with the word on it. While we’re at it, let me shamelessly promote a design my girlfriend has made: http://liranoce.spreadshirt.de/vegan-I10468650

    As always, I can’t wait for your next episode!

  5. I'm late in catching this episode, but WOW! Liz, seriously, THIS is why I love you! When you share your experiences, you always do so with an honesty unmatched. I don't know anyone who talks publicly about their blunders like this, and then gives the mind-blowing "how I should have responded" revision. This is so valuable for advocates! Your learning experiences become our collective learning experiences.

    Absolutely amazing! Thank you!

  7. What a wonderful thing you did for poor Duffy! You took him in, got him medical care, and found him a home. He looks like such a sweet boy.
