It’s a baseline assumption, and it mostly holds true: if you’re out advocating for animals not to be tortured or abused, realistically these days you are v**n, or close.

Hello! Somehow I missed that. Apologies! I have skills in: team building, remote work, startup building, software development, and a bit on mental health / men's groups. My important cause areas are mental health and food-related impact. Thanks! 🙏
