Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.
10/10 post, dude.
Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?
Like, did you read it orrrrr?
Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES
It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.
Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.
1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.
or
2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.
So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.
Before you get mad at your partner for not doing what you expect them to do, Stop and ask yourself “have I ever communicated to them that I have this expectation?” If you have not, it’s unfair to expect them to read your mind.
So many arguments are saved by just opening your mouth and saying “hey hun, in the future can you….” Whether its articulating how you like to be loved, supported, or communicated with, you have to open your mouth. Your soul mate (IMO) isn’t the person that just always knows what you need when you need it without you telling them. Your soul mate is the person who hears your needs and thinks “I have no problem doing that because I love this person with my whole heart”
So check your attitude and open your mouth. Closed mouths don’t get fed.
Why do I never think about the possibility of snow on the ocean??? Now I see why, because it’s too ethereal
1. An interesting idea: while it looks like this above the waves, there’s a thing called “marine snow”- a constant snowfall of particulate down to the depths of the ocean, That looks very similar to this.
Essentially, it looks the same for about 2-3 miles above and below the water in this instance.
i was watching a video of cyntoia brown talking to a man investigating her case or whatever, and she’s telling him about how Cutthroat, her pimp, forced her to do drugs, raped her several times, choked her until she passed out and then he asks her ‘how come you didnt leave?’ and she’s like ‘didnt you hear what i just fucking told you? he even knows where my mom lives.’
i just hate the constant victim blaming women go through. no one ever asks why that men was raping her and forcing her to sell her body. no one ever asks why a forty-something man purchased it. it’s always our fault for “staying”.
anyway, i hope she finds peace someday.
she was a little girl
A LITTLE GIRL, YOU MONSTER!
She was 16 years old with an adult sexually abusing her and they ask her “why didn’t you just leave”. This is how women are treated when they report rape, even if they were a child victim of sex trafficking who killed one of the men who paid to rape her and tried to escape.
Poor girl, she looks so tired…
They are treating her like she did something wrong.
She is the victim and should be supported and celebrated for surviving her brutal capture.
The male interviewer is asking a child rape victim if she “had sex with” the sadistic child rapist sex trafficker.
She didn’t “have sex” with him she was repeatedly and brutally raped.
This should be grounds for a mistrial and the male interviewer should be punished for his treatment of child rape victims.
you know the world hates women when a pimp is more cared for than a prostituted teen.
she was originally serving a life sentence, the tennessee supreme court said recently she could be eligible for release after she serves 51 years in prison for killing a man she was sold to have sex with. a sixteen year old girl forced into prostitution and numerous other terrible acts against her will in fear for her life, is in prison for over half a centry for self defense.
for anyone who has time or would like to write her a letter, send support and holiday cards or even check in, here is her (latest updated) current information:
