A beautiful quote despite some vile comments on this man's original post, I've no time for racist, toxic haters. I'm not religious, but the quote attributed to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is basically saying I think 'let your last act in this world be a positive one'

A photo in the background of a protest with trans and rainbow flags. In the foreground a big number: 5,000 is shown... with text underneath saying "LGBTIQA+ Greens Members". The number of 5,000 is bordered with a rainbow gradient. The photo attribution is to What The Trans!? Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ.

5,000 members! As @greenparty.org.uk has broke over 215,000 members, we've discovered that we're now past 5,000 members in the LGBTIQA+ Greens.

Our growth has been incredible over the last year, growing to at least double our previous size. Here's to many more members!

The facts speak for themselves. A whole foods plant-based diet has longitudinal and peer-reviewed nutritional research on its side. We can't say the same for meat 🌱💚

Carole in Malibu, CA 1983. Photographer Jim Shea recalls the photo shoot – “We drove into Malibu Canyon and came upon a Hippie in Malibu State Park with the painted peace car. I asked him if he would allow us to use his car to take some shots and he gave us the go ahead."

Yes I'm #Vegan and it was absolutely yummy. I'm proud of all the things I'm making since I went vegan and how inventive its made me to make recipes work for vegans especially the stuff I used to love, now I veganise them
