Twitter found to be full of vegans….tweeting!

By Published On: 4 February 2011Last Updated: 17 January 2017

Twitter is awesome. Also, full of vegans. That's extra awesome.

What's in this post

It’s Friday and you know that means our weekly spotlight on vegan tweeters.  Twitter is playing a new, big role in the vegan revolution and it’s important to remember we have the power to affect real change- one tweet at a time.  Plus, dude- I love vegan peeps.  I do.  I love meeting other vegans from all over the world.  When has there ever been a time in history when you can talk to someone 500 miles away (in a different country, time zone, etc.) instantly. Never, that’s when.  So revel in it.

And while we’re at it…you know, I pick these spotlights randomly or I use ones that are sent to me.  Have you sent your info in yet?  Don’t you want to make some new friends?  Of course you do.  Here’s how:

Want to be featured in an upcoming post? You know you do. And why wouldn’t you? It’s fun, you get bragging rights on follow Friday, and free vegan love in the form of advertising your vegan endeavors. Simply send me the following information: name, self-proclaimed bio, a fact for the “you should know,” and your twitter icon (size 128×128 please) by clicking here. Then sit back and wait for the magic to happen. And it will, oh- it will….

Now that that’s out of the way, meet @AmyGuidryArtist, @girlonraw, and @Veganism!

Amy Guidry Art

Name: Amy Guidry aka @AmyGuidryArtist

Self-proclaimed bio: I’m an artist- my preferred medium being acrylic paint.  I’m bringing my vegan views to the (sometimes) stuffy art world via galleries and museums all over the place.

You should know that: I grew up in the New Orleans area, (our state is called the “Hunter’s Paradise”) and I’ve been a vegan for 12 years.  Art allows me to communicate, provoke, question, and inspire.  My work is very personal and influenced by my love for animals and concern for their welfare as well as the planet.  I might be a “southern girl” but my work has bite.

Girl on Raw

Name: Robyn aka @girlonraw

Self-proclaimed bio: An Aussie Raw Food Chef & former international flight attendant, based in the Middle East sharing the Raw lifestyle through my travels.

You should know that: “I call myself Girl on Raw, because my original travel blog was called Girl on Tour, and as my blog focus shifted more from travelling to health & wellbeing, Girl on Raw was born.  I am Australian, however I now live in the Middle East, but I travel plenty through both my former career as an international flight attendant (both commercial and private jets), and just simply a wanderlust to see and experience the world. I’ve also lived in Scotland and England too.”

[box style=”none”] Veganism Twitter

Name: @Veganism

Self-proclaimed bio: Abolitionist vegan writings with a focus on humor, justice, compassion and random acts of silliness.

You should know that: (taken directly from his website, I couldn’t shorten it- I just couldn’t)

“In the book, and on this web site, a voracious, all-powerful alien from the planet Snargleplexon is about to throw you and your family into a souped-up wood chipper.  He gives you a few minutes to convince him why he should not.  This is not out of charity or mercy.  The delay is only because his device, the Human Protein Multiplexer 9000, takes a few minutes to warm up.

Besides telling him you’re an aspiring heavy metal guitarist and the universe will be that much poorer without your sweet riffs, can you convince him of mercy?  What arguments could you present to a highly sentient and aggressive invader that he should not kill you?  When you pose absolutely no threat and he derives great pleasure from devouring your charred remains, what words could possibly sway him toward compassion?

In real life one cannot simply shoot coworkers to “solve” a conflict (though the temptation never quite abates).  For this reason, the Snargleplexonians have been rendered invulnerable to physical attack.  You also cannot bribe them: what do they care about our money?  You cannot guilt them into mercy.  They are immune to guilt.  So what do you do?  You have to appeal to both logic and emotion, and the only way your message will sink in is when it’s delivered with humor and compassion.

This is the handbook for such a situation.  By no coincidence, the handbook works out great for vegans who are bombarded with so-called jokes such as, “I didn’t claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables.”  That’s right.  You didn’t.  You don’t even have claws.  Go eat a banana.”
