All animals are equal, both human and non-human.
This recognition is the minimum which
non-human animals deserve.
VEGANISM & INTERSECTIONALITY
"Veganism" is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

​​​​ Ethics
Ethics is the philosophical study of moral phenomena. It investigates normative questions about what people ought to do, and which behavior is morally right. Ethics in the general context and in respect of Francesco's work is not limited to veganism, they also include human rights, our relation with the natural world and more.
​
Intersectionality
Intersectionality is a critical concept that recognises how individuals hold multiple identities and face unique challenges, or benefits at the intersections of those identities.

Francesco has been plant-based and vegan since 2019. As of 2022 veganism is the core element of his work. Because he transitioned to veganism relatively recently, some of his past works did not entirely align to his current ethical standards, nor are all his current works wholly about veganism. Regardless, life is a journey and everyone learns as they go. He does and always will adhere to ethical storytelling in every which way possible, and none of his future works will ever consciously contradict the vegan way of life.
The focus-points within his works are the intersectionality of vegan ethics (with a focus on vegan history) and neurodiversity - please visit the page on neurodiversity to understand that aspect more.​
This means his works will ethically cover aspects of animal and climate welfare, the human condition, mental health, and history in a variety of creative mediums.
​
Climate anxiety​
This is a real issue, as real as climate change. Many folks, especially youth, are facing climate anxiety in some form and neurodiverse folks may be getting the worst of it. As an advocate for healthy living and animal rights, I am also very much an advocate for climate justice. So naturally, as a neurodiverse person I have much to say about this. Extra reason to contact me!
