itsveganjim<p>The idea that you can mutilate, exploit and slaughter animals, and yet still claim that you love them, is just utterly and clearly absurd. If you love someone then exploiting, harming and killing them is the last thing you would do.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/earthlinged" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthlinged</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/earthlings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthlings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/animalrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animalrights</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vegan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plantbased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plantbased</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a></p>

Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣<p>I love the topics on s02e05 of <a href="https://c.im/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/StrangeNewWorlds" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StrangeNewWorlds</span></a>.</p><p>It talked about family, relationships, love (most especially a mother&#39;s love), being true to ourselves, and [our] humanity. But for this post, I want to talk about [our] “humanity”.</p><p>I&#39;m a Star Trek <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheNextGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheNextGeneration</span></a> batch where <a href="https://c.im/tags/Spock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Spock</span></a> was more of a side-character in the Star Trek universe. You know, he&#39;s half-vulcan half-human. However, there was always this lingering question: What made Spock the way he is? What made Spock pro-human? What made Spock, who lives by the vulcan expectations and yet very human at the same time?</p><p>Season 02 episode 05 of <a href="https://c.im/tags/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds</span></a> answered that. This was the pivotal moment when Spock understood his humanity. For some reason it was familiar, maybe it was mentioned on a movie, or I&#39;ve read from a novel, but seeing this episode gave a lot of impact on the character “Spock”.</p><p>Spock is no longer just a half-vulcan half-human character. Spock is no longer just an icon for me. Suddenly, Spock is alive, a figure. A person who is the embodiment of two conflicting worlds yet was able to harmonise the two and lived the way no one else can.</p><p>Almost everyone looked down on him for being half-half. There were people who ridiculed him, made fun of him, shunned him. And yet, he became a better person than everyone, all because of this pivotal moment in his life.</p><p>To the point that, in the future, his experiences pushed him to champion the welcoming of the romulans back into the vulcan fold, as equals. As well as, to understand who they really are as the same race: vulcans.</p><p>S02E05 is, for me, the best episode of this season, and more likely the entire series. I will always remember this episode.</p><p>The episode where:<br />1. Spock embraced his humanity.<br />2. Humanity shone brighter than the stars.<br />3. That despite the many flaws in being a human, that maybe we are indeed inferior than the other races, it is our humanity that makes us the better race in the universe.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/LiveLongAndProsper" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LiveLongAndProsper</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Earthlings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Earthlings</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Humans</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chirp.social/@startrek" class="u-url mention">@<span>startrek@chirp.social</span></a></span> @startrek@a.gup.pe <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/allstartrek" class="u-url mention">@<span>allstartrek</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://startrek.website/c/startrek" class="u-url mention">@<span>startrek@startrek.website</span></a></span></p>
