Ingrid Hoeben Ⓥ 🇧🇪<p>This argument is really scraping the barrel and is so off point it’s not even funny. I shouldn’t have to mention that other leaders such as Pol Pot, Stalin, and many others, all ate meat. If the diet of dictators are important to measure how we should be eating, then surely meat is right off the menu too?</p><p>(2/2)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vegan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hitler</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/arguments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arguments</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/cognitivedissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cognitivedissonance</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/meat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/meatfree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meatfree</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/carnism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>carnism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/morals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morals</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a></p>

Solarpunk Presents Podcast<p>6.6: Emotional Literacy with Dr Tiffany Millacci</p><p>In this week’s episode, Ariel quizzes guest Dr Tiffany Millacci about emotional literacy. What is this relatively new phrase? How can being emotionally literate help us to navigate difficult conversations, awkward interactions, or even generally just having relationships in the first place? Isn’t all this talk of emotions just a different way for the self-help industry to get us to buy stuff? </p><p>Join us for a fascinating conversation about a complex topic - we barely skim the surface! But never fear, Dr Millacci has your back; listen in for some good places to start learning more.</p><p>Check out our blog for links!</p><p>Disclaimer: We’re coming from a white, western viewpoint and we recognize the limitations and strictures of that - even within the same cultures and societies (heck, within the same families) emotional expression can vary wildly according to personality, gender, neurodivergence, whatever your social location. This interview necessarily takes broad strokes to begin a conversation about how to better be in community with each other, and it is our hope that we can continue to showcase how this can vary, taking steps towards a solarpunk future where people can disagree - even on important topics like politics and religion - without violence or relationship rupture.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzD821HHgj8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=QzD821HHgj</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SolarpunkPresentsPodcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarpunkPresentsPodcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Podcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/episode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>episode</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SeasonSix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeasonSix</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/EmotionalLiteracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalLiteracy</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/EmotionalIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/emotion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emotion</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/emotions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emotions</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/affect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>affect</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AffectTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AffectTheory</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/arguments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arguments</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/relationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>relationships</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/HowToBeInRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HowToBeInRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/agreements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>agreements</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/disagreements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disagreements</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/interview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interview</span></a></p>
