To be held in the arms of the one you love is the purest form of love. But what happens when the arms that hold you don’t love you but rather hold you like the jaws of a wolf hold a sheep? Do you flail and kick and bleat or do you lay there and let the wolf devour you while comparing it’s hunger to the all consuming love you desire?

vegans making honey a bee labour issue is the funniest thing imaginable because like, you picked the one animal that has already unionised

[ospreyonthemoon]

You literally could not exploit bees if you TRIED

"Oh well if you stop the queen leaving the bees are trapped" wrong, bees can and will swarm without a queen. They will also make new queens if they don't think theirs is good enough

"Bees don't consent to their honey being taken" wrong, bees are actually more than intelligent enough to know we take the honey. They LET us take the honey if they think what we provide in return (shelter, food, protection) is a fair deal.

"Taking honey starves the bees" WRONG AGAIN! Domestic bees overproduce honey. A beekeeper NEVER takes honey the bees would need because then you piss off the bees, and if you piss off the bees you don't have any bees. They stockpile honey for the winter, but because domestic colonies do way better than wild ones they stockpile too much. That's why beekeepers can take out whole frames and then have them filled in no time. Domestic bees actively overproduce because they know humans are going to skim some off the top.

And if they didn't want humans to take it, beekeeping WOULD NOT work.

To keep bees you have to let them fly free. If they can fly free they can leave. Meaning if they don't like what you're doing, they WILL leave.

The whole idea they're basically slaves to the queen is also not true, they can just make a new queen literally whenever, and if they don't like her, they kill her.

There is no way for a beekeeper to exploit their bees. The bees are EMPLOYEES.

Employbees, if you will.

So I'm chronically ill and some days are better than others. Im on my third bad day in a row right now. Everything hurts so much more than usual, I've been having migraines, vomiting, yesterday i was sitting on the toilet and black blobs came into my vision that wouldn't seem to go away, I just feel like shit. Yesterday I went to take a small nap so I could stay up until bedtime and ended up sleeping 14 hours until my alarm for work went off. Plus my doctor thinks the precancerous growth in my colon is coming back, it's been a year since it was removed but my GI doctor won't get me in until September. So I just have to deal with all the shitty symptoms until then. What I would give to be able to afford to take a couple days off until I feel better..

Reminder for my fellow PTSD sufferers

•You are worthy of love

•Your trauma does not make you lesser as a person

•Healing is not linear, some days may be worse or better than others

•You did not deserve what happened to you

•You are Loved, if not by anyone you know then you are loved by me

•The future is brighter, even if it may not seem like it right now

•There is no shame in having bad days

•It's alright to reach out and ask for help

•It will get easier

•YOU ARE LOVED

Y'all, I think my blood sugar might be getting low atm, I'm getting the funny chest feeling, my head hurts, I'm so fuckin tired, everything just feels off and my brain feels slow. But, I'm not home and have no way to check it to confirm it's low. My brain is too foggy to even remember where it is even if I was at home

[rainbowchihuahuabunny]

Do ypu ever have those shocking moments of clarity where you see a situation or something you're doing from the outside and go 'huh, that explains why no one talks to me'

Tw: dead animal mention

I'm currently sitting in the waiting room of my therapists office, reading hardcore smut on my phone, drinking a boba tea and I have a dead bird that I found outside the office sitting in my lap. Wtf

funny thing about talking about capitalism/communism is if you don’t explicitly say ‘capitalism’ or ‘communism’ and take out the marxist jargon people will agree with you 90% of the time

[gayasscommie-deactivated2017090]

Just last night I got my amazingly conservative air marshal cousin to talk about how we need to break up the banks. Its amazing how anticapitalist people can get when you start from where they are and don’t use the phrases they’ve been trained to reject

[daggers-drawn]

It’s seriously ingrained in people to reject radical ideas without even examining them.

[fed-detector-deactivated2018030]

in the 1980s, in a survey, 50% of people thought the phrase “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need” was in the Constitution

“don’t support nestle!” shouts the liberal on the computer made from parts manufactured at foxconn

consumer activism is a lie, see you in hell or in communism

lmao try boycotting a brand in monopoly capitalism

[toloveviceforitself]

This. This is a large part of what “there’s no ethical consumption under late capitalism” means. On top of everything else, when the same company owns both the product you’re boycotting *and* the “organic, free range, fair trade, no prison labor” version of that product, your choice is literally meaningless. Even before you factor in the strong possibility that those labels are lies, you’re still just choosing one prong of a two prong marketing strategy meant to capture 100% of the market. Your objections to their cheaper, less ethical brand are being used to wring more money out of you, money that all goes to the same place. Your morality is being used to exploit you, and they still win.

So my oldest cat Missy is 8-9 years old and about two weeks ago I took her to the vet for dental problems. The vet said she was allergic to her tooth enamel and gave her a long lasting antibiotic and steroid shots. Her mouth seems to be doing better but a week ago I noticed what reminded me of a picked scab on her nose. I dismissed it because I thought maybe her and my other cat got to playing a little rough or something, but I took a picture anyway. Today I realized the spot has gotten deeper and is not a small hole in the end of her nose (pics included). I sent pictures to the vet and they said they had no idea and to just keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse. It doesnt seem to be bothering her and it's very wet.

Has anyone else seen this before? I've had cats my whole life and never seen this before. Also in the pics it looks like I'm choking her but I'm not, I'm just holding her face and she's trying to pull away

Working with crutches?

So I have a few health issues, one of which being hEDS. I had one ankle that wouldn't stay in place but my doctor prescribed a custom brace and I was doing better. I got a job as a stocker and eventually got promoted to department manager, so now I stock the whole department take care of behind the scenes stuff.

However, the other day my "good" ankle came out and now has a "significant sized gap" between the leg and foot, I can't move it or put weight on it. The doctor has me in a boot and on crutches, not allowed to walk on it until I see the surgeon (I can't stand to put weight on it even if I was allowed). Problem is, I can't afford to be off work that long. I don't get sick leave or anything, I just lose out on any pay I miss from being out with sickness or injury

I messaged my boss, sent her a copy of the doctors letter and explained my situation, asking what accomodations are available. She never replied. So, I'm reaching out to you guys to see what ideas you may have so I can go back to work Tomorrow. The doctor's note technically says not to return until after I've seen the orthopedic surgeon but I can't afford to be off work that long. I've already missed two days of work and I'm not gonna be able to meet bills.

The bulk of my job is retrieving boxes of produce from pallets, putting it on a cart and rolling it to the section and putting it away. Excess goes in a back storage room. Everything from 50# bags of potatoes, boxes of bananas, boxes of tomatoes, etc. At the end of the day I clean the back room up, sweeping and wiping everything down, and then "check out" and throw away rotten or expired produce.

I dreamt this cursed beauty up last night (among other cursed dream memes) thought he might be appreciated here

The two tumblr users I immediately thought of when I saw this in my dream were @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses and @i-am-a-fish I'm so sorry I brought this into the world

[rainbowchihuahuabunny]

This is to all my besties who had to miss school or work due to pain or other symptoms.

I am so proud of you. You are in so much pain and having a flare up of symptoms and you are still pushing on. You may be stuck in bed or on the couch but you are still making it. Just handling what you handle on a daily basis is so much more than a non disabled person does on a daily.

You are worthy. You are worth your space in the world. Don't let society make you feel lesser than simply because you have to deal with more than most do.

I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense, I am in so much pain I can barely move but I needed to say something to those people out there who are in my place
