ENOLA HOLMES (2020)
Sherlock Holmes getting fucking dragged like this is everything I never knew I needed in my life holy shit
Because this is apparently stick up for wolves day.
Wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone has changed the ecosystem *significantly*.
One remarkable thing that was not predicted that demonstrates how interlinked these things are:
Wolf eat elk.
Elk eat fewer willows.
Willows become healthier.
Number of beavers increase.
Number of songbirds increase.
Overall health of streams increases.
Number of fish increases.
Water table stabilizes.
This is called a “trophic cascade” and we normally see them as bad things. But a positive trophic cascade is an amazing thing, and apparently nobody predicted this one.
What they didn’t predict was that wolf predation would keep elk on the move so they wouldn’t overgraze a specific area.
When the elk overgrazed the willows, they removed the best source of food for beavers during the winter.
Once that stopped happening, the beaver population rebounded and it turns out beavers are pretty good for the entire ecosystem.

Every time a racist gets mad when talking about the Civil War you just gotta make your name for it longer and more truthful
Oh, you call it the “War for Southern Independence”? How about the Great Union Victory? The Yankee Triumph? The War of Southern Aggression in Defense of Slavery? The War of What W.E.B. DuBois Called White Southern Moral Cowardice, Fought and Lost by Weak Men and Traitors?
You dont have to suck Yankees off that much lmao its not so black and white
I’m sorry are you upset about something I said concerning the War Where All The Southerners Had Little Dicks And Cried Like Babies When They Got Their Asses Kicked (1861-1865)
Controversial opinion (somehow) but it should be illegal for schools to assign homework on the high holidays.
No but really, I cannot put into words how fundamentally wrong it is that public schools can assign things over incredibly meaningful holidays like Yom Kippur.
Last year was a vivid example, and also one of the worst fasts I’ve ever done. My history teacher assigned us a full paper, insisting that it was reasonable since we had the entire day to do it. As one of the few practicing Jews in my class, I immediately objected because not only was that unfair, it was actually impossible to do without serious harm to my own health.
Because Yom Kippur started that very night with a solid two hours of services. I would go home, eat dinner (at like 4:30 because you have to do it before services), change, and then be at synagogue. Services would go until at least 8 o’clock, which meant I would get home around 9.
See any time for homework in there?
Now, pretend you’re me for a moment here. Services tomorrow morning start at 9, and you usually want to get there earlier unless you’re willing to end up in an overflow room. So staying up late to do it isn’t an option if you want more than four hours of sleep.
Now, it depends on how religious you are, and you can pick and choose, but there’s services more or less throughout the entire day on Yom Kippur. If you want to attend, which should absolutely be an option without compromising yourself academically, then you’ll be there until break the fast comes.
That’s right! You’ve been fasting all day, because that is an absolutely key part of Yom Kippur. (If you are under age thirteen, are pregnant, or are sick you are exempt but otherwise fasting is expected.) There are many reasons—reminding yourself of your mortality, to remember the sufferings of others—but ultimately it’s not an opt-out kind of thing.
But when can you break the fast exactly? It actually varies! Because it’s meant to be done one hour after sundown (25 hours total), but that’s a little different each year. It’s usually around 8 pm, which would be when services end for the day.
Now you can eat! Let’s aim low and give it half an hour to get home from services, and then another hour and a half to actually break the fast.
It’s 10 o’clock. You’ve only just eaten and your stomach probably hurts, because stuffing yourself after a fast can be really bad for your health. You’re back home for the first time all day.
You still have a paper to write.
How is that fair? If I’ve just gotten off of a fast, having spent all day immersed in religion and contemplating my own mortality, I’m not gonna be in a place to do any kind of work, academic or not.
And even if I’d had breaks in services (I can’t stay still all day, so I usually head home for a few hours in the middle), I was still fasting. When I’m hungry I have trouble working, for obvious reasons. And in this case the issue isn’t access, but the fact that I am prohibited from eating anything. Depending on how seriously you take it, you might not even have had water today. I fast with water after nearly passing out from dehydration during a fast for Tisha B’Av, but not everyone does! If you haven’t had anything to eat or drink, it’ll be incredibly difficult to focus on writing anything.
I explained all of this to my teacher, and she instead said I could just turn it in late. She also said I’d still be marked down for late work, so how is that any help?
I did that paper the day after. It was a day late, a few points off, but I held it against my teacher for months. Not because of the grade itself, but because she put me in that situation to begin with.
I should have been allowed to observe Yom Kippur. I should have been able to spend the day thinking and reflecting on my mistakes and contemplating my own life. That’s literally what the holiday is for. But instead I spent the whole time with that stupid grade in the back of my head.
Even on what is arguably the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, I still wasn’t given a break.
Separation of church and state my ass.
Not to be dramatic but I'd die for this cat
vegans make peace with honey
no shut up do it
vegans will pretend not to hear when natives tell them their agave products are unsustainable because they have whimsical feelings about, and i cannot stress this enough, the freedom of hive insects
Honey is literally murder but go off
Prove it.
They literally puke their guts up to make your honey
I have not seen any evidence tonsugges they are harmed or die in the process of production. They do regurgitate the nectar as part of the process to concentrate it into honey (an interesting process) but they do not suffer any injury during this process. If they did, the cost to produce honey, which is done naturally as a measure to survive over winter and through times of lower availability, would outweigh the benefits. If you kill several bees to produce enough honey to make one more bee, It makes no sense. Any animal that did that would die, even with human intervention.
Do you have any sources which suggest otherwise? I’d be interested to hear of this (relatively publicly available) information was false or misunderstood.
Bee farmers use whats called a honey maker. It’s a crude devices. It similar to a meat grinder. They force the bees in and grind them up. What comes out is a paste. That paste is later filtered into what we know as honey
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read
@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder
they might be falsely thinking about a honey extractor machine. but all these do is you place the beehive frames inside and a motor rotates it at a speed that removes the honey, which is then tapped through a tap at the bottom.
…do they think they put bees in that and spin them around until they vomit…?
bee carnival
bad and naughty bees get put into the b e e c e n t r i f u g e to extract their honey
Vegans coming after beekeepers is one of my major teeth grinding annoyances. For many reasons, because there’s so many lies. And to go one step further because it’s such a waste. You see, the strongest vegan argument is that they don’t want to exploit animals or take from them without their consent.
… but… Bees consent. NO. I’M NOT KIDDING.
How? Bee hives aren’t kept on leashes. They’re outside, the bees can travel miles every day. They follow their queen. Who is also outside, not on a leash, and can travel miles every day. If she doesn’t like the hive for any reason - for example: it got too hot, too cold, too messy, too filled with sugary stuff and they need more space… then the queen leaves. And with her the hive.
The queen stays in the hive because the hive is the best place to live. Period. Done. End of. If the hive is staying with the beekeeper it’s because the keeper is doing their job correctly and keeping them happy because the bees can, and do, leave bad beekeepers.
Of all the animals we have domesticated as livestock, bees are the ones you can most easily argue are consenting participants in their keeping.
I believe this only works if you live in Arizona (correct me if I’m wrong) but please spread so people can email the senator to stop this
i live in texas and put in my actual address, it worked just fine for me!
This is a US senate bill, it works for anyone in the US (I put my Utah address and it sent to the Utah senators.)
This post is only 2 weeks old!
Original post 10th August 2020
i learned that each woman spends approximately $5,600 on her period over her lifetime (x)
this reminded me of the reason why i bought reusable menstrual pads in the first place
im so happy with my collection
where did you get them? theyre so cute I love!
@cerenae i got them here! i recommend 10/10!
Last period was the first time I didn’t use any non reusable products!
REUSABLE???? THERE’S REUSABLE ONES?????
I love reusable ones! Using them almost a year now!
WHAT!!!!
BROOOO
WHATTT
hop aboard the reusable menses product train y’all! boss up your coochie!! all joking aside though, i’ve saved money, no more cramping or inner thigh rashes from the dioxins and other weird chemicals and (pandemic related) fewer reasons to take impromptu trips out of the house. win-win all around.
i bought their trial pack (one of each pad size + pouch) just to see how these pads are like and just a day after using, i bought a starter pack (2 liner, 3 regular, 2 overnight + pouch)
i included a photo below beside my switch for comparison of how big the xl and overnight pads are (i love using both for for nighttime use). daily, i use my regular pads and when working out/post-period, i use the liners.
honestly these are such amazing investments. i cant see myself using commercial pads ever again. they dont stink nor leak and you just have to make sure youre not wearing lace or any flimsy underwear so they’ll stay in place. i totally recommend this!
OMG WHAT THERE ARE REUSABLE ONES????
PSA I JUST SAW THEY NOW HAVE ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERNS IM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW
the amazing part is that it now comes with two buttons to snap it tighter!!!
I AM SO IN LOVE!! HERE’S THE LINK IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED!!!!
Editing my reblog - there are other companies you can get these from which don’t donate to dodgy causes. From the original linked company’s website:
No thanks.
I personally get mine from here, which is a UK based company, and I can’t find any info on them that says they donate to causes I don’t support, but it’s always worth checking where your money’s going.
Here’s a link to more options, plus instructions on making your own.
Another US alternative is Party Pant Pads who are located in WI and donate supplies to the local charity Milwaukee Diaper Mission, which works to provide a reliable source of free disposable and reusable diapering and period supplies to families in need.
I’ve been using their pads exclusively for several years now and have no complaints. Also the flannel ones are v comfy. Highly recommend. They also sell accessories to help make pads fit better depending on your needs, such as the wing extender which work with wider underpants like boy shorts.
Edit: I just borrowed a pair of ETD’s underwear and the wing extenders make the Queen and Super Overnight pads fit both his briefs and boxers with full coverage, if that info helps anyone. You could probably even get away with a medium pad on an extender with briefs if you veer toward a size small/medium. The boxers did feel a little bunched to me, but that might also be because his underwear is much too big for me 😅
Also if anyone would like 30% off their first order here’s my “refer a friend” link. I’m not sponsored, I just like discounts and shark themed menstrual pads.
The patterns look wonderful in the unused pad pictures but how well do they clean?
I would legit cackle in happiness for spiderman or batman themed pads but be bummed out if the pattern gets permanently obscured by bloodstains after the first use.
What kind of laundering needs doing to get blood stains out. And how do you change a used pad for a new one when its all gross and full of that gnarly thick uterine lining goop. Do you have to wipe it off in the toilet bowl and the wrap it in a special bag or you’re carrying bloody goop in your purse?
What stops them from twisting around with your walking until its wrongly button side up?
Like legit this is opening up a whole new world for me and i have no idea how anything works.
1) It depends on the pattern you buy, if you buy a super light one, it stains easier. I tend to go with the darker ones for that reason, but some of my pads are 2-3 years old now and while there is some marking, it’s not awful.
2) Here’s a trick for getting blood out of fabrics that my mam taught me, for the love of gods don’t soak them in hot or boiling water, hot water sets the stain. If you really want to keep them as stain free as possible, throw them into a bucket with cold water and pour some regular old salt on top. Salt draws blood stains out. Let steep for at least 20 mins. Take it out, rinse in cold water, throw it into the washer on normal. Never ruin a pair of jeans again, you’re welcome.
2.5) The underside of these pads is a waterproof nylony material, so while you can wipe them off with some toilet paper to make them easier to handle if you need to, they fold up like this:
(This is one of my unicorn flannel ones that’s like 3 years old and while not as pristine as it first was this can give you an idea of how they clean up with proper care. PS sorry for lack of captions for anyone who needs them I’ll try to come back and add them)
Party pads also sells waterproof bags you can keep them in if you’re out and about and know you might need to change.
3) Getting the correct fit stops them from twisting round. For some of us that means needing to use an extender so that it doesn’t bunch up and swivel. Or you might find they work better with a wider crotched piece of underwear. I prefer to wear boy shorts with them for that reason. But they work with briefs fine too, that’s more just a my body type thing.
Hope that helps!
Can we talk about the efficiency in wearing these in boxer briefs? Like what makes them stay in place since they can’t fasten in place? I like the idea of these, but i refuse to wear underwear marketed at women.
I mentioned that up there @maximalist-marrs. I actually tried them on ETD’s underwear using the wing extenders designed to broaden the fit of the clasps. It wouldn’t work with all styles of men’s underwear, boxer shorts for example wouldn’t work. But it worked well with a pair of boxer briefs, and trunks.
I really want TomboyX to come out with the 9" version of their period boxers so I can switch over to these. I can’t wear short leg boxer briefs, I hateses them.
I wish I’d known about these other companies before buying from the first.

On June 11th, Michael Hickson, a quadriplegic black man with COVID-19 was killed by a hospital in Austin Texas.
Doctors decided he had "no quality of life" an was not worth spending the resources to save.
The conversation between his doctor and his wife was caught on audio 1/?
[description of image: a photo of Hickson, lying in a hospital bed and smiling for the camera /description]
Doctor: So as of right now, his quality of life -- he doesn't have much of one.
Melissa: What do you mean? Because he's paralyzed with a brain injury he doesn’t have quality of life?
Doctor: Correct.
--
Hickson was refused food or treatment for 6 days
In the YouTube video, the doctor can be heard saying "he will have lines and tubes coming out of his body... That's not quality-of-life"
I have tubes coming out of my body. I happen to like my life. Without those tubes I'd be dead
Our definition of quality is vastly different
So, when you see me repeatedly yelling about masks, paying attention to disabled people, and you don't understand why I tweet with passion, remember this.
I'm fighting to change culture that doesn't see disabled life as quality. many of us are afraid and rightly so.
LaBlaq @LoveAndShalom
Please, please, please don't sweep this under the rug. Your disabled friends are in danger.
We must unite and fight this!
His wife was not notified of his death until the next morning after his remains had already been transported to a funeral home without [Mrs. Hickson’s] permission.
“No one has offered condolences. There has never been an apology or acknowledgment of his death. It’s like they just don’t care,”
