[i wanted to use the meme format so i replaced the image of the original asshole with a photo of my rabbit, Finnegan]

for a city of its size Rochester is absolutely flush with a wealth of both dedicated veg food spots and veg options all over town. i just feel so lucky!!!

some of my old and new favorites off the top of my head:

- vegan Cashew Later pizza at Cross Country Crumb
- literally anything on the menu + a Sweet Plvnts pastry at Grass Fed Vegan Butcher (but especially just a plain old bacon grilled cheese 😋)
- caesar salad at Red Fern
- vegan house made veg burger + a chocolate pb shake from Swillburger
- Madonn + loaded fries from Squatchos
- vegan BLT from Dogtown (and that quinoa burger special when they have it…. omfg. i dream about this regularly)
- vegan bacon/sausage egg and cheese on a Fox’s bagel from Montgomery Court
- literally anything drink + a black cat pastry from Clownboy
- the entire vegan menu of sushi at Keep it Rollin’

plus we have Veg Fest! i’ve actually never gone because i work food service myself so i’m always on the clock stuck behind the counter lol

plus x2 i feel very accommodated almost anywhere I go and i’ve made so many new friends and connections by just connecting over food and veganism <3

lmk if i’ve missed your personal fav OR just drop a comment saying something you love about being vegan in Flower City 🌸

sorry if this is kind of a bizarre question. i have two amazing lovely rabbits at home and am experienced in rabbit care. rabbits are a huge love of mine and i would do anything to help more of them.

i have a lot of time on my hands and want to help local rabbits. i’ve applied to become a foster with lollypop but haven’t gotten a response yet. i’d still love to do this if and when they get back to me, but i’m wondering if there’s more i can be doing that i’m not aware of!

are there local rescues who need help? are there any rabbit owners in need of boarding care while traveling out of town this summer? any fostering or volunteering opportunities involving rabbits outside of lollypop? something else i’m not thinking of?

thanks in advance for any help :o) and hello to all the other rabbit owners and lovers out there

cross posted from my ig lol

i was disappointed so i replied. i was also pretty disappointed in their response to me.

i would much rather give my money to a place like binkybunny than amazon or another chain. i also think it’s unfair to hold small businesses to a higher standard than others.

on the other hand, i cannot see myself giving money to businesses that do not have a staunch anti AI stance if there is an alternative. i don’t think “we’re a small business and it’s hard and everyone else is doing it anyway” is an excuse.

i’m torn. i think it’s complicated. what are your thoughts?
