Thousand Layer Cake
My philosophy towards vegan and vegetarian foods is to try not and vegan-ise anything that isn't vegan to begin with. There are some substitutes that certainly work well and I understand the urge to stick to what we know, but there are so many other options out there! So it's probably not a coincidence that my favourite vegan dessert is vegan to begin with.

Eat my Heart: Why Eating From Head to Toe is Critical for Environmentalism
I am not a vegetarian. However, I do believe that we have long departed from respecting the animals we eat. This may be controversial, but I believe that ethical meat-eating is possible. We just aren't accomplishing it very well. There are some parts that are frequently talked about. For example, factory farming is obviously not a part of ethical meat-eating. Ideally, regenerative farming methods would be the way to go. If I were to go one further step, I might even suggest that people hunt their own animals to truly confront what it means to take a life to sustain yourself.

Red is for Boldness
In my life, it is easier to hide in the cover of the dark To hide the colours of my soul To keep the ones that I love secret, to keep them safe.

Colour of the Night
Sometimes I feel small and would like to hide From all the things that are love, that are light To think my sexuality is trite

What do you tell a daughter of the sea? Do you tell her she will always be blue? Tell her you'll love her for an eternity.

Chinese Girl
I grew up like a foreigner in my own land Always careful to not be too prideful of our history Of kings and queens that could rule the world

I am not a fan of the colour pink I despise the way it looks on my skin The morality of pink is a sin I would hate if others started to think
