🌿ASMR🌿 Veganism Q&A 🌱 3-Hour Mega-Ramble — 100% Pure Whispering

[Filmed 5/1/22]

IMPORTANT! Please take extra care to read and absorb the following content warnings (CWs):

1) This video contains in-depth discussion of food and eating habits, as well as sporadic references to ED/disordered eating throughout.

2) This video contains discussion of guns and gun violence (55:47–56:42). I filmed this several weeks ago, and my comments stand to be extra upsetting in light of the mass shooting yesterday at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.

To live in the United States is to never have even a moment’s respite from gun violence—and this week in particular is grief upon grief, as we are still in the immediate wake of the mass shooting at Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York.

Children deserve to grow up. We all deserve safety, peace, and dignity. Please take care of yourselves and each other.
