One of the main reasons I'm vegan is because I'm ethically lazy. My friends who eat meat or who eat eggs have to sometimes wrestle with the ethical consequences of their actions. By being vegan, I take the easy way out.

That softness around your eyes, a softness in your face. Almost the way you feel when you’re about to start crying. That, to me, is love. It can be romantic love, it can be friendship love, it can be family love, it can be love for a chipmunk. It can be love for anything.

Personally I find the democratic chaos of the Internet fascinating, and for the most part really benign.

I like being vegan, I think it's good for my health.

I don't put a lot of pressure on myself when I'm writing. It feels like if I come up with something good, or I come up with something bad, I'm not too worried.

One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.

I don't want to get too nuanced, but we have the electoral college in the United States and that means we don't have direct democracy.
