  • I use a fork of rawtherapee called ART. It just changes the UI around a bit.

    I only tried Darktable once. I loaded up a beach shot, and the RAW file had a lot of colors that looked so wildly different from the cameras preview (I know that the preview has its own process for displaying images) that following troubleshooting tips I searched for weren’t able to completely correct how it looked. It was a very violet-tinged sunset. ART typically started somewhere infelt more comfortable working from. I’m sure I could give it another shot.


  • This has given me a lot to think about. Thank you! I felt the saturation I had used had been a bit much, but I was aligning the scheme somrwhat with a previous photo that contained a sign in the shot where the JPG managed to capture a vibrant red I was trying to re-create in my edit. I’d completely forgotten I’d had a small amount of success with color corrections once before, and I bet that would work wonders so I don’t have to amp up the saturation so much.

    Edit: Yeah, sorry about the image scaling. I’d done it on the original JPG when I was sending it out to someone, so I just made the others scaled down to match.



  • I know exactly who you are. You are the lived experience of many vegans of the person that pretends to know more than us, as if every single person who went vegan didn’t have a deep personal conflict with themselves before deciding to align their morality with their lifestyle. You know very little, yet try to advocate against us on our own perceived behalf, using your own sister like some sort of “I have a (insert group here) so I definitely know things”. I don’t need to understand you because I was you. The difference is that at some point, I was willing to acknowledge I didn’t know enough about the moral vacancy of the situation and decided to learn more. The more I learned, the more I grew disgusted with our systemic murder of sentient life and how we didn’t need this destructive mechanism to survive in any way, shape, or form.


  • You can stop pretending that you’re trying to advocate for people in food-starved areas. Veganism, believe it or not, has never actually been about trying to force people in marginalized areas to adopt a vegan diet. Veganism is about harm reduction, full stop. The people who appeal to veganism are the same people who can make those choices in any grocery store that they go to, whether they live in a food desert or not. Personally, I don’t live in an area that’s considered vegan-friendly. However, I find myself to be okay with that purely because I know for a fact that my decisions aren’t reliant on convenience alone.



  • Many sources of protein

    You think vegans just eat blocks of tofu all day? My diet has never been more varied and flavorful than when I went vegan. Every single environmental impact study says animal agriculture is a bane to our continued existence, and it goes so far beyond that. Our lands and crops are swallowed up by this ever-rotating machine of suffering and murder that affects the lives of billions of land animals every year, which die terrified and in pain. No “varied protein” myth is worth so much suffering.
