One of our favorite mediums for animal activism is the arts, and one of our favorite animal activist artists continues to be the amazing Katya Lidsky. We fell in love with Katya after seeing her one-woman show, and simply had to have her on the podcast and online magazine. This installment of #ThrowbackThursday rekindles our adoration of Katya and her work. This …
Our love and devotion for vegan drag queen extraordinaire Honey LaBronx has not waned one bit since we recorded this cooking video way back in 2012. Given her latest campaign known as Veganize My Town (that you should totally check out), what better time to remind the OHH community about the wonders of Miss Honey and her astounding massaging (of kale, that …
Anyone who hasn’t lived under a slab of tofu for the past four years of Our Hen House’s existence knows that we love and live animal activism, especially the effective sort! Author and longtime animal activist Caryn Ginsberg shares this very passion, which is exactly why we’re thrilled to revitalize this past piece of hers from the OHH archives for #ThrowbackThursday. This article originally …
Considering that we strive to cultivate an indefatigably positive spirit in our animal activism, we’re huge fans of endeavors that give us hope for the future of veganism and animal rights. This piece by Kevin Schneider discusses some of these very endeavors that continue to nurture our activist spirits a year after the piece’s original publication, which is exactly why we’re thrilled to resurrect it for #ThrowbackThursday. …
Here at Our Hen House, we’re committed to constantly questioning what sorts of actions will most effectively grow the vegan/animal rights movements. Though eating at burger joints may not immediately strike the average vegan as an act of smart animal activism, our very own Piper Hoffman offers a differing perspective on the idea. So sit back with a veggie burger and a …
We love vegan writers here at Our Hen House (couldn’t you tell?), and as such we’re enormously interested in spreading the word about how such writers can expand their reach by improving their writing. This motivation makes the article below — written by editor extraordinaire Cassandra Greenwald — a perfect fit for #ThrowbackThursday. This article originally appeared on Our Hen House on June …
Annie Shannon never fails to brighten our day, and her article — featured below for #ThrowbackThursday! — makes no exception. She sticks up for bunnies, makes crepes, and is kind enough to write about it all for Our Hen House. It seems only natural that we honor such generosity by once again highlighting Annie’s inspirational work. This article originally appeared on …
We could not be happier to feature this immensely profound article on this week’s installment of #ThrowbackThursday. The subject of eating disorders is hugely stigmatized, so we’re eager to feature multiple writers discussing the topic. To make this article even more important (as if that were possible), a quick, easy, and frugal recipe is featured at the end. This article originally appeared …
Piper Hoffman has her very own column on Our Hen House for good reason: she rocks at thinking critically, and eloquently conveying those thoughts. Consider her article below, featured on this week’s edition of #ThrowbackThursday. Piper ruminates on the ethical arguments that give veganism a bad name, effectively refuting each of them. An ever-valuable piece. This article originally appeared on Our …
We love this piece. Covering important topics like body image, the many meanings of health, determination, and the connections between running and veganism, this article will live on for years to come, which makes it perfect for #ThrowbackThursday! Speaking of that last topic, have you yet ordered your copy of the new anthology Running, Eating, Thinking (Lantern, 2014), for which Jasmin is a contributor? This …
Great films never go out of fashion, and neither do great reviews of them, which makes this article a perfect piece to feature on #ThrowbackThursday! Film analyst extraordinaire Loredana Loy gives us her take on a contemporary film that tells the heartbreaking story of a horse, and a much older film that narrates the equally tear-jerking tale of a donkey. You may have …
I’m thrilled to bring you this week’s edition of #ThrowbackThursday, featuring 11+ tips to help vegan parents raise vegan children in a, well…not-so-vegan world. Hopefully, with the help of this new generation of veg kids, the world will turn from not-so-vegan to OH-SO-vegan! This article is sure to help things along. This article originally appeared on Our Hen House on January …
#ThrowbackThursdays returns, and this time we’re re-introducing you to a fantastically important book – Animal Rights: What Everyone Needs to Know – with a review by Nick Lacetti. For those of us who think about animal rights on a daily…hourly…minutely…basis, it’s a good idea to return to the basics every once in a while, which is exactly what we’re hoping to do with …
This week’s installment of our newly (and fabulously!) launched #ThrowbackThursdays comes via a talk given by Jasmin and Mariann at the 2011 Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. The talk outlined the Hens’ top 10 tips for shifting to a plant-based diet – tips that are still hugely relevant almost three years later, and thus still valuable in helping not-yet-vegan individuals adopt a more compassionate set of …
I’m loving OHH’s new #ThrowbackThursdays, and hope you are too. If you ever have an idea for an old OHH article that you’d like to see resurrected, please email us at info [at] ourhenhouse [dot] org. Today, I’m reposting a guest column that one of my favorite people on the planet — Gena Hamshaw (of Choosing Raw) — wrote for us …
Happy OHH #ThrowbackThursday! Today’s article was originally posted on August 17, 2012, and I still hear from people who used the tips in it to land their dream job working in animal rights. Most recently, I heard from OHH reader Jordan, who said this: Hi Jasmin, I’m not sure if you will remember me (I bet you get A LOT of …
Happy OHH #ThrowbackThursday! Today I’m excited to breathe new life into this piece, originally published on February 4, 2010 (dang! we’ve been doing this for a long time!). I was inspired to repost this by someone who recently emailed me and asked the question all animal rights advocates just adore — don’t you care about people too? Activist Lisa Shannon proves …
Happy OHH #ThrowbackThursday! Last week we started to take advantage of Thursdays to bring some of our favorite pieces — of our over two-thousand original articles! — back to light. Today, I’m excited to (re-)share with you the amazing Honey LaBronx‘s cooking show — from the episode shot two years ago in which Mariann and I were guests! This seemed like …
Welcome to #ThrowbackThursdays, a new feature of OHH which, from time to time, will give us the opportunity to repost some of our favorite articles from the past five years! We have well over 2,000 articles to choose from, so this should be easy! If you have a favorite article from the early days of OHH, please email suggestions to info …
Postbaccalaureate student at Baylor University, Clara Dutton, recently created a breathtaking piece of art that calls attention to the inhumane practice of elephant poaching. Art can move people in mysterious ways, and that’s one thing Dutton is relying on, as her 10-feet-wide and 7-feet-tall oil-on-canvas is as much a piece of advocacy as it is a piece of art. Dutton recently …
