Join this army, sweetheart.
To my regular readers, I apologize for the brief lapse in my updates; I spent the past week or so lounging on the beaches of sunny Puerto Rico where the men are pink-cheeked, the women are robust, and the internet did not extend to my hotel room. Not that I would have had very much of vegan interest to write about, really, since I was forced to spend the entire week subsisting on some combination of rice, potatoes, plantains, and boiled bananas, which wouldn’t have been so awful if Puerto Ricans as an imagined culinary community weren’t so deathly afraid of spices that they were reluctant to even provide me with salt and pepper. Also, I hate the sun.
One good thing to come from this trip, however, was another batch of these delightful stickers:
The army has, of course, recently changed its slogan from the slightly misleading “an army of one” to the positively brutish “army strong”, but fortunately for us thus far news of the change seems to have been lost in translation. With a few quick modifications these previously egoistic declamations become a rallying cry that I think we can all get behind. These stickers look great on bicycles, microwaves, stop signs, and anywhere else that you can think to stick it to the man. All you have to do is go to your local recruiting office and feign interest and lack of English comprehension long enough for them to throw a few your way. Failing that, I’d be happy to send you one inside a copy of my latest zine in exchange for a dollar or two, a pleasing poem, or an oath of undying fealty. Either way supplies are limited, so don’t wait; pledge your allegiance today. Let all your friends know that resistance is futile. Join the Soy Army.
