It’s crazy that every female you meet will agree like yeah i get sexually harassed all the time, yeah i’ve been assaulted, yeah i’m afraid walking in the dark, yeah i check under my car and in my backseats, yeah i look over my shoulder when i’m alone, yeah men have said creepy things to me since i was 13, yeah men get aggressive with me, yeah strange men touch me in public without my permission, yeah i’ve been called a bitch or a cunt or a whore, yeah i’m afraid of being raped and forcibly impregnated, yeah i am afraid of not being able to access an abortion, yeah i am luxury taxed on period stuff even though i have no choice in the matter, and men will agree this happens and exists, yet anytime anyone is like, “Women are an oppressed group, which means they act like oppressed people, have rage and stressors specific to their oppression, fantasize about escaping oppression, and are still oppressed even if they’re privileged in every other single way,” everyone is like NOOOOOO!!! NOOOOOO EVIL BITCH

I’ve been waiting a year to post this

[regularlesbian]

come on

[margbarcis]

this is fucked up 

[ripleyandweeds]

something about this bird just unlocked something insane in scientists’ heads

[regularlesbian]

this is unlocking something insane in my head to be fair

The results of study after study point to social media inhibiting attention span and worsening mental illness symptoms, and half the people on this website will hear that and say, “Okay, boomer. Anyways, I haven’t read a book since I was fourteen, and starting a new TV show on Netflix gives me a panic attack.”

[waffity]

Inhibiting attention span huh?

But like isn’t that more on how fast we’re used to having things like instant search results and fast wifi rather than social media???

Lmao lower attention span *looks at the multiple multichapter fan fics and I’ve read within one binge read* *looks at the multiple 2 hour drama documentaries I’ve listened to*

It’s not that we can’t read anything longer than a paragraph it’s that I choose not to read long things that don’t interest me

[therealklt]

You’re right. Researchers are lying. They’re just trying to hide the truth that stories where Mario has sex with Charizard is inherently more interesting than actual books. It couldn’t possibly be that your attention span is so damaged that you’ll only engage with material that features characters and situations you already know, not to mention the blocks of warnings that tell you absolutely everything that will happen in the story. You got them. It’s a big conspiracy to keep Margaret Atwood in a job. She’s just too old to learn what AO3 is.

[dreamyfreakout]

Emulation of any game or game system that is out of production should be fully legal

if you’re irish and you complain about britain “erasing culture” but can’t even speak the language/ don’t know shit about ireland before 1910 then just shut your cakehole nobody cares

[gruene-teufel]

Them being Irish and not being able to speak the language/not knowing shit about Ireland before 1910 is a direct result of Britain erasing culture, you goddamn Vitamin D-deficient circus clown

i’m literally in tears i’m so high right now so i thought “oh man does this really work” so i went to grab my uno cards and held one under the water stream and it didn’t work so then i realized maybe it only works with blue cards so long story short i’m left with wet uno cards and a broken heart so don’t do this at home kids

[extremelyspecificmemes]

[trylonandperisphere]

Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.

[loveislattes]

This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this

[fatsexybitch]

I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation

They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.

Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can

[redseeker]

“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”

damn that is so  powerful though

You order a package off Amazon. When the Amazon delivery guy shows up to your door, instead of giving you the package you bought, he beats the shit out of you. Then, when he sees that you are not dead yet, he calls all of the Amazon delivery people in the area and they all proceed to beat the shit out of you. Miraculously, you survive. Another miracle: a friend in your neighborhood caught the assault on video. After a month of recovery and extensive hospital bills that you have no idea what to do with, the video has gone viral. You read the comments below. “This is what happens to people who fuck with Amazon!!!” Someone says. “I’ve never been beaten up by Amazon employees, and I’ve been using them all my life!” Someone else comments. Later, you start to see articles popping up about your story. They all mention that when you were 17, your license was revoked for reckless driving. In a Facebook post on your mom’s feed, someone is going on a rant about how not all Amazon delivery guys are bad, and that if you look really close, the “bad” ones are just stressed out. Your name is trending on Twitter. Jeff Bezos films a response to your attack, denouncing the video of you getting beaten to within an inch of your life by his employees as becoming “a symbol of hate towards Amazon.” The people who attacked you still deliver packages around your neighborhood. You saw one of them just yesterday as you were watering your plants. You still can’t pay your hospital bills. Your phone dings- Twitter again. “Maybe if you didn’t order from Amazon,” someone pipes up, “this wouldn’t have happened!”

Holy shit

Someone did not get the analogy

The Bird Cage Theatre, located in Tombstone, Arizona, once operated as a theatre, saloon, gambling parlor, and brothel. It was in operation from 1881 to 1889, which was during the silver boom. Evidence of it’s colourful past can still be seen today - there are over 120 bullet holes throughout the building. New York Times described the Bird Cage Theatre as “the roughest, bawdiest, and most wicked night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast.“  One of the more bizarre murders to occur here took place when two brothel workers got into an altercation and one responded by stabbing the other to death with her stiletto.

With a history of violence, it’s no surprise that the Bird Cage Theatre is said to be the scene of much paranormal activity. Visitors and employees both claim to have seen the ghosts of former brothel workers as well as dowdy men dressed in cowboy hats. Some people have even reported being pushed or shoved by unseen forces. Disembodied laughter and music can often be heard in the dead of night.

WELCOME TO MY PAPER EMPORIUM!!

In case you didn’t know, I now work with paper and make paper nerdy additions to your normal LED light strips!

The way this works, is I take normal paper lanterns, or I make colored paper chains, and I decorate them to look like your favorite thing, and you have the option of me putting LED lights in it, or you provide them yourself, and I ship the finished product off too you to stick your lights in! I take customs and I’m always looking to expand my cabinet of designs!!

Here’s a video of my work!

Please try to support me if you can! I LOVE making these and want to make a business out of it!

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

[blackwashedmax]

Honey is literally murder but go off

[kasaron]

Prove it.

[blackwashedmax]

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.

[blackwashedmax]

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…?

[demonius-darkblade]

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

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.
