New Publication! Laughs Not Slaughs (LNS)

Time to spill the beans

Manifesting greatness via vision board collaged by the author.

Laughs Not Slaughs is happening! LNS is a new humor publication that delivers cheek, but only metaphorically.

Think of us as a best-kept-secret taco truck, serving micro laughs for macro dysfunction — and the best beans!

Slaughs?

“Slaughs” is a made-up word (a neologism) invented to mock the idyllic euphemisms of factory farming. “Slaughs” rhymes with laughs, and we believe in laughter — not slaughter.

Oxymoron Rebuttal

No, animal rights humor isn’t an oxymoron. It’s the chips and salsa arriving whether you ordered them or not. Also, we just like the word oxymoron, especially when we get to re-butt it.

Sampler Menu

I’m convinced some of our favorite funny writers have an LNS piece inside them, if not already drafted. I went ahead and made an imaginary sampler menu:

• Michael Burg, MD (Satire Sommelier) 😬 — tackles RFK Jr.’s raw milk crusade, and what it means for full-grown men to be drinking fresh mama’s milk.
• Jimbo Jensen— delivers the definitive bio of Weird Al’s evergreen vegan journey, told in lyric.
• **Smillew Rahcuef — **serves up the quintessential “How to Save a Million Chickens by Writing for a Vegan Humor Publication That Reaches a Medium Reader Who Converts His Poultry Operation into a Mushroom Farm.”

Write for LNS!

Do you have something to say on behalf of animals, while tickling (consensually) our funny bones? You don’t have to be veg, or even veg-adjacent. The only requirement is to keep respect for animals at the forefront.

Send us your satire, parody, listicles, faux PSAs, and fake news à la The Onion (in our case, caramelized). We can’t wait to read them.

Secret Conspira-Sauce

LNS is SNL backwards. Coincidence? Almost certainly. Still, you won’t want to miss it. ❤️

P.S. Special spilling-the-beans alert to Sherene Jensen and Hugo Hugotobler.
