PEOPLE NEED TO GET MORE ANTI PSEUDOSCIENCE.

[skodasforge]

There’s something so interesting in Amy giving up the driver’s seat to Whitaker when she’s the one picking him up. On the surface level it’s very Traditional Gender Roles that Amy can drive her own truck but only if The Man isn’t there, but there’s also the subtext of Dennis’s subtle martyrdom that he’s getting off a 15 hour shift and the person picking him up is making him drive and I don’t think it’s intentional for either of the characters here but it’s interesting to see Dennis kind of slot into this traditional masculine role to his own detriment when he’s clearly pretty insecure about his masculinity at work given his awkward interactions with Ahmad and Antoine earlier in the season and with Langdon later on. It makes me wonder how much of him playing farmhouse with Amy is about affirming he can still be the person he was raised to be.

something about santos having a history of self harm but having enough self preservation skills to get herself someone to spend the evening with. something about her knowing she might hurt herself if she's alone so she invites someone with her. something about santos making friends when she's had the worst day ever because that's when she needs it most. something about santos making both whitaker and mel feel less alone without realising it. something about her caring for others when she doesn't have the energy to care for herself anymore

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

[calder]

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

[kasaron]

Prove it.

They literally puke their guts up to make your honey

[kasaron]

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

[hematite2]

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

[leonardo-nierman]

@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder

[gemstone-gynoid]

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. 

[darkenedyeastextract]

…do they think they put bees in that and spin them around until they vomit…?

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

[bastlynn]

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.

[mystical-mew]

Here it is. The bee post is back

[korrasera]

I feel compelled to explain the misconception part for anyone who doesn’t know anything about beekeeping and finds any of this confusing. This might be a little redundant, but I’m scratching an itch.

Harvesting honey does not murder bees.

The device pictured above does not mash up bees or their hives.

There’s no ethical concern when it comes to eating honey, it’s totally ethical as food is concerned.

Bees manufacture honey using pollen. They store it in the cells of their hive, where it’s used as food for the colony, particularly the larvae growing into the next generation of bees.

When you harvest honey, you remove parts of the hive that are being used to store the honey, without taking any bees along for the ride. Those parts of the hive are then put into a device, like the centrifugal extractor shown above by gemstone-gynoid, where the parts are spun really fast to pull extract the honey. The honey gets collected on the walls of the extractor, drips down, and can then be filtered and bottled for human use.

So.

It turns out that bees love making honey and can make more of it than they’d ever need. It also turns out that beekeepers taking care of hives and harvesting their honey keeps bees healthy and thriving, more so than they’d normally accomplish on their own. And we really need bees healthy and thriving because they help us grow an astonishing amount of food by pollinating plants.

Like, there’s no need to have a conversation about this, anyone who claims that harvesting honey requires that you kill bees is lying. Either they don’t know anything about beekeeping and are just repeating a lie someone else told them, or they know that they’re lying and they’re just straight up trying to deceive people. Neither is a good look.

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

Peer Reviewed your tags, OP.

[greenfairys]

santos saying that langdon could relapse and then picking up a scalpel and putting it in her pocket...the whole "santos and langdon lash out at each other because they see themselves reflected in the other" thing is not even subtext

[oneshortdamnfuse]

Whitaker is easily liked because he’s compliant. Santos isn’t easily liked because she’s defiant. The most well liked person in the room caring about the most “difficult” person to like as if it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. Everyone looking at him as if he were a saint for withstanding her, when to him she is his savior. Literally the most important platonic relationship on screen right now for me. Don’t look at me.

[areyoudoingthis]

babe wake up ao3 came up with the only funny april fools joke in the history of the world

[justplainsalty]

The blog post is pretty great too.

[semperama]

The thing about The Pitt is that every character is nuanced and contains both good and bad within them and you have to see everything in shades of gray...

...except for Dana Evans, who has done nothing wrong ever in her life and I will break the nose of anyone who says otherwise.

[the-carlos-cow-eyes]

Soooo, after finding out about Santos quietly pocketing that scalpel, I, as well as many others after reading all of the theories about It, now think that It's gonna be HER who Is the emotional casualty of the last few episodes of this season and NOT Robby because Robby's collapse Is loud and abrasive (In terms of and In reference to his projection and attitude via pushing people away, which I think Is a means to make everyone hurt and miss him less If he were to commit), therefore being more obvious In a storytelling and audience perspective, whereas Santos’ Is quiet and Isolated. And, usually, the quiet kind of pain, which Is what Santos has, Is usually the least expected when It comes to suicidal tendencies

And, with that Information, I am absolutely fucking TERRIFIED for her

[starspangledsteeve]

very worried about my close and personal friend doctor trinity santos - yes it is that serious

[fvrgetmenvts]

Thinking about the fact that Trinity is on the verge of relapse, hiding a scalpel in her pocket, and then venting to Whitaker about everything she's upset about, and then moves to the fact that he's "moving out", accuses him of that, even.

She's terrified of being alone, she's terrified of the silence and dullness of an empty apartment. She's scared of what might happen and she's scared that if he moves out, she'll have no one.

[comingaback]

WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT TRINITY SLIPPING THE SCALPEL INTO HER POCKET.

IM NOT OKAY. IM NOT OKAY.

[d3ad-aliv3]

IM GONNA LOSE IT SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT WHITAKER SAW SANTOS TAKE THAT SUTURE BLADE

(It’s just so obvious what she’s gonna do especially since she’s a doctor and if you’ve sh’d before you know the goal isn’t death and you want to prevent infection. Since she works at a hospital she has the supplies at her disposal to do so considering those are sterile)

Also for all the Trinity haters, she’s stealing from the hospital to self medicate, just like Langdon did, they are the same but y’all choose to ignore that!

@str4wbsstuff I’m gonna be sick☹️
