cool worm @c00lw0rm - Tumblr Blog

I went to a party last night and fell asleep, and then I went home and slept for 8 more hours. I’m too old for this. Rick would be ashamed.

Not legitimate problems with GMOs:

They’re “frankenfood” or “dangerous” or “playing God.”

Legitimate problems with GMOs:

Artificially sterile seeds which force farmers to buy new seeds from with every crop from corporations which have a monopoly on said seeds. Especially harmful for smallholdings farms.

Like pesticides, pest-resistant GMOs become less effective at deterring pests over time due to natural selection.

licensing seeds which are then given away as a trial, then requiring farmers to either purchase the license again or destroy their entire crops. This is what at least one GMO corporation did in the wake of Haiti’s natural disaster.

We need to reframe the issue. Pretty much every “legitimate problem with GMOs” that one can think of is a problem with the corporations that create them and the cultural and legal environment those companies operate in. Patented gene sequences, artificially sterile seeds, GMO crops that take over other strains…those are all problems with the corporations that create them and the idea that doing those things is acceptable, not a problem with the GMOs themselves. We need to stop looking at this as a “GMO problem” and start looking at is as a systemic problem.

Honey bees will be fine. They are a globally distributed, domesticated animal. Apis mellifera will not go extinct, and the species is not remotely threatened with extinction. The National Survey of beekeepers released last week reported the lowest winter hive losses of the last 8 years. The bees you should be concerned about are the 3,999 other bee species living in North America, most of which are solitary, stingless, ground-nesting bees you’ve never heard of. Incredible losses in native bee diversity are already happening. 50 percent of Midwestern native bee species disappeared from their historic ranges in the last 100 years. Four of our bumblebee species declined 96 percent in the last 20 years, and three species are believed to already be extinct… That wouldn’t be a big deal, if commercial honeybees could pick up the slack. They can’t. Managed honey bee colonies supplement the work of natural wild pollinators, not the other way around. In a study of 41 different crop systems worldwide, honeybees only increased yield in 14 percent of the crops. Who did all the pollination? Native bees and other insects.

^ This.

This is why it’s important to find out what native plants in your area are favorites with bees and plant those. Because those are the ones that are adapted to the native bees. Also a lot of the solitary native bees nest in old wood or the dirt, so you can create a bee hotel for the wood-living ones.

Basically, honey bees are technically an invasive species. They just also happen to be beneficial to us. Don’t get me wrong, I love honey bees, but native bees are at far greater risk.

As an (admittedly noob) beekeeper, I ask that you please read and consider this.

neuroflux

and please don’t forget about other native pollinators! bees are great but other less “cute” insects like flies and wasps are important too. just like many agricultural crops are basically monocultures, honeybees are only one species out of many possible pollinators, and their dominance in agriculture has led to a lot of problems. biodiversity is really important here, just as it is with basically everything else.

This is an interesting article, and something I honestly didn’t realize. It’s good to check out if you’re interested in concerns about local insects and their role in agriculture.

In New Zealand some plants are pollinated by geckos! This is a thing I learnt yesterday (I’ve been hanging out with a botany major and learning so much about our native bush, it’s amazing). On the other hand, I have no idea how you attract geckos, plus they probably don’t pollinate food plants.

being soft, gentle and warm is a different kind of radical. the ability to allow yourself to be vulnerable is very powerful

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be

teddybearnova

This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie

kushandwizdom

Geez 300k notes, I should make more posts like these 🙌🏾

Man don’t even get me started. Everybody here thinks the entire continent is a disaster cause all they see are feed the children and Blood Diamond which obviously bring up relevant issues but that doesn’t mean there isn’t beauty with the ugly.

watsons-solarpunk

I’ve seen this reblogged a lot, and it just sort of reminds me that the reason genres like Solarpunk are important is because they focus on accurate representation. We need to strive to be real, even in science fiction and fantasy. -Faith
