Everyone has their own experience going vegan, which I’ve learned from joining a few different Facebook groups and sharing my journey with the rest of the vegan community.

It took me 21 years to openly say, “I’m disabled.” For years, those two simple words felt like an admission of culpability or weakness. It wasn’t until I consciously decided to broadcast my disability to the internet that I was able to confront my internalized ableism and change how I see my body’s strength —

If you’ve ever struggled to fall asleep (or stay asleep), you’re definitely not alone. In fact, even aiming for a standard eight hours can mean you often fall short. Add in the negative ways the pandemic has affected our sleep patterns, and you likely found yourself getting less shut-eye than ever over the past year.
