No reflection on the franchise’s four decades would be complete without a tribute to Carrie Fisher, who died in December 2016. This final cover features only her character, Leia—the general, princess, and rebel who has been a figure central to the Star Wars universe from the very outset.

That comment exactly!! It’s not mine and I can survive without it, so I will.

This is why honey is not vegan.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

The problem here is that honey, especially if you buy it ethically from an apiarist, isn’t actually detrimental to the well-being of the bee or the hive. In the wild, honey is used as a food stock, but in a domesticated honeybee colony, the bees are fed quite well, and so the honey is a surplus.

The alternatives, like sugar, relies on monocrops in third world countries, with transient labour. Growing up, there was a sugarcane field by my house, and I’m sure the Haitian men who worked backbreaking hours hacking a machete through knife-bladed leaves in 40 degree heat for a couple dollars a day would have traded a testicle to be a Canadian honeybee. Stevia’s going the same way, iirc.

Additionally, apiarists are actually huge proponents and activists for sustainable bee-keeping, and it’s estimated that the domesticated hive may be the last great hope for declining populations, because we can optimize their chances for survival.

It’s their life’s work, sure, but it’s not the death of them to use it responsibly.

[meloromantics]

literally read anything about the history of sugarcane and the cuban sugar industry if you think sugar is or ever has been more ethical than honey

Beekeepers-

Provide a home for the bees

Keep that home warm in the winter

Keep the bees well fed, negating the need for honey, which the bees would make anyways

Still do not take all the honey, just in case

Protect the bees from predators

Monitor the hives for any signs of the parasites, diseases, etc. that cause colony collapse disorder

Their bees-

Provide a valuable and reliable source of pollination for plants in the area, both wild and crops

Help keep the local ecosystem healthy

Honey-

Is one of the healthiest things you can eat

Is able to keep for a EXTREMELY long time (Millennia even), making it more valuable than many perishable foods without being full of preservatives

Can be used to soothe sore throats, nauseau, etc.

Has been eaten by humans since at least Ancient Egypt (We’ve found STILL EDIBLE honey in tombs)

Is a great tool in cooking, adding sweetness without raising the sugar content much

Is a staple food in many people’s diets

Honey is amazing you can put it on or in pretty much everything I goddamn love it and you should too.

[cotestuck]

Honey is also a natural antimicrobial that has been used medicinally since time out of mind on external wounds like edible neosporin.

Particularly useful in the treatment of dermal abcesses.

At the risk of sounding like a “fat, bitter bitch” I’m not interested in doing emotional labor for thin women. I’m sorry you’re sad about your body but bitch me too and I’ve got actual systemic shit to worry about on top of that. I’ve been coddling thin girls my whole life as the token fatty in my friend group and I’m Tired.

Five-year-old Harley and her father, Dino, attended Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 with one mission in mind: deliver the Death Star plans to as many Princess Leias as they could. Their final set of plans were delivered to the original princess, placed in front of the gown Carrie Fisher wore in A New Hope. The galaxy is now safer thanks to this little rebel! 

See the full photo album here.

Harley has also cosplayed as Rey, complete with a Millennium Falcon!

[bevcrushers]

I am the Bespin Leia in the third photo. This little girl was easily the high light of this wonderful weekend. She was so confident in the crowds and was quite determined to make sure the Death Star plans fell into the proper hands. Xoxo

[princess-slay-ya]

That’s amazing! Congrats on the awesome cosplay and thank goodness the Death Star plans were able to be safely delivered to you

James Potter is the guy who was kind of a dick when he got to high school but cleaned up his act by junior year and went on to become a human rights lawyer with the ACLU because he knew he could make more of a difference fighting for what’s right instead of getting into schoolyard brawls

Severus Snape is the guy who thinks that just because you’ve been friends for years you’ll eventually have sex with him and then after you drop him like a hot potato because hes been spending too much time on 4chan and reddit and started hanging out with guys who make racist and sexist remarks and then say “it’s just a joke!!” only for him to call you a slur in front of the whole school he joins a white supremacist group with his new buds and starts harassing women and minorities online and then in public and then is arrested for planning to shoot up a women’s college only to get off because he’s a white guy and now he teachers at your old high school

[transrusso-deactivated20200506]

some dude on survivor outed another survivor who happened to be trans and called it “deception” like this was some damn soap opera and everyone was like ”lmao that’s personal and not your fucking problem?” and the host immediately said “We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch” and had him kicked off. that’s some instant fucking karma.

[jusketuntrunked]

and then they let it air and outed someone to everyone ??

[shardsofglassheart]

Yeah, they still aired it. I bet any money they knew he was trans and were counting on that coming up, perhaps only for tokenism rather than drama, but I have doubts. Just coz they played the role of “look what such good allies we all are” doesn’t mean they didn’t just exploit a trans person and leverage transantagonism for ratings.

[youremyonlyhope]

Zeke applied for the show without telling them he was trans because he wanted to be Zeke the survivor contestant and not just the trans survivor contestant. It was after the producers contacted him to say they were interested in casting him that he revealed it only to the producers. So yeah, they knew he was trans, but not because of the drama or as a token, they were already going to cast him before they knew because he wanted to make sure he wasn’t cast just to be a token.

Zeke and Jeff Probst (the host) had talked about how he would be able to decide whether or not he wanted the fact that he’s trans to be part of his story and when it would be revealed on the show if it would be revealed. Unfortunately, he couldn’t pick when because Varner outed him.

They kept it in the show because Zeke wanted it to be aired. Zeke got to decide with the producers and the help of GLAAD how the episode would be handled and they had been discussing it since the tribal council happened when the show was filmed 8 or 9 months ago up until it aired yesterday. He was happy that because his tribemates came to his defense and he was able to speak about his own feelings about what happened that something positive came out of a horrible situation and that’s partly why he wanted it aired. 

Here’s an interview he did on The Talk earlier today where he talks about how he felt and why it was still aired. And here’s the essay he wrote for the Hollywood Reporter. In the tribal council (7:33-9:30) he talked about his feelings of wanting to be just Zeke the contestant when he applied to the show.
