On February 28, 2024, Gabriela Santos Tacuri and Luis Florian, two students at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM), the most important public university in Peru and the oldest in South America, filed a lawsuit against their university, alleging that the absence of a vegan option in its cafeterias constitutes a violation of their fundamental rights to freedom of conscience, equality and non-discrimination, personal identity and free development of personality, and puts their rights to health and sustenance at risk.

“What if the biggest threat to UK national security isn’t conventional warfare, hostile states, or terrorist networks, but rather the collapse of the natural world itself?”

"H5 bird flu is now spreading through Australia's free-living animals. Since the first confirmed Australian detections in June 2026, cases have been recorded across several states and territories. By September, the Australian Government had recorded 652 positive H5 bird flu events in free-living animals and more than 51,000 hotline reports. Cases have included greater crested terns found at Sydney beaches.

The public discussion has mostly framed bird flu as a biosecurity problem: how to detect it, contain it and protect animal agriculture. That framing is incomplete. Bird flu is not simply a disease of free-living birds. It is a disease shaped, intensified and spread by human use of animals.

Free-living birds and other animals are not the cause of this crisis. They are among its victims."

I run a Pathfinder game every other Sunday. We all bring some food they share for lunch. This week someone said he is going to do poke bowls.

I am looking for ideas of what to bring in place of the fish he is looking to do. I am not a huge fan of tofu, but all the recommendations I am seeing online are with tofu.

Part of the problem, I think, is I have never had a poke bowl. It sounds like they are basically a salad with rice and raw fish normally... which is probably why I never have had one, I have never seen a place that does them with a vegan or even vegetarian option.
