Is using honey bad? It would be hard for me to give that up because I love it so much.
16 oz of honey requires 1152 bees to travel 112,000 miles and visit 4.5 million flowers.
Most of the honey we get at supermarkets and stores don’t come from natural hives.
Honey is an animal product, produced when bees digest nectar they have collected and then regurgitate it. It is an animal product, just like an egg or milk. Yes, a bee is an insect and not technically considered an animal by many people, but a bee’s body changes the composition of what it ingests, just like other animals.
However, there is another reason vegans won’t eat honey, and that is because it is harmful to another living creature. According to Daniel Hammer, bees do experience pain and suffering while they are being exploited for their products (not just honey but also beeswax, royal jelly, and more). There is simply no way beekeepers, humane or otherwise, can avoid harming or killing bees while they are extracting the bees’ products. Many vegans choose their lifestyle because they wish to avoid harming any other creature, and so they choose not to eat honey.
Check out this couple of articles that are pretty complete about everything around this topic :)
I feel like everyone forgets that there was an actual sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the elevator gets trapped up in space and the family and Wonka witness a bunch of deadly aliens attack another shuttle and said aliens eat at least twenty people and one of the grandmothers is erased from existence and Wonka and Charlie have to scramble to save her and in the end, they’re all invited to the White House to meet the president.
I just…I feel like this should be talked about more…
I have seen Fury Road twice and I’m scheming to see it again. Imperator Furiosa could tell me to walk on water and I would find a way to make it happen.
There is not enough Fury Road on my dashboard. If you post a lot of Mad Max/Fury Road stuff, HIT ME UP AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU.
I convinced 6 middle aged women that professed to hate action movies to go see Mad Max: Fury Road. You know how I did it? I said “The main character is a woman and she’s not sexualized at all.” And that was it. I had a whole speech prepared and I said one sentence before they all agreed to go see it. And they LOVED it. One woman saw it twice so she could bring her teenaged daughter.
All these years, all this industry moaning about how women don’t like action movies, and all it fucking took to change their minds was “The main character is a woman and she’s not sexualized.”
today in creative writing, we had to make a ‘5th season’ and describe it. I put my hand up and asked the teacher “5th season of what?” And it took me so long to realise what I said wrong
i … would have made that mistake
It took me far too long to even realize what mistake you were talking about
Warning: I DO use dude, man, bruh, and bro as completely gender neutral terms, HOWEVER if I call you one of the above and it bothers you, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me.
“College kids are the absolute last people you want to mug. They’re in peak physical condition, they have no money, and most of them have such a twisted view on the value of life they would rather you shoot them than give you the $4.37 in change at the bottom of their book bag.”—ztejas (via suspend)
I would just like to say fuck you to everyone who made me feel inadequate growing up and ruining my self esteem for years. You all suck and I’m glad I don’t talk to any of you any more.
Natalia Peggy Rogers, you are named after the two bravest, strongest, independent women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Tony Clint Bruce Thor Rogers, I am so sorry your uncles got hold of your birth certificate before me.
i can’t believe i still have to unfollow people for putting terfs on my dash.
“don’t reblog terfs” is not an attempt at a political gotcha, it is an urgent matter of safety for trans people esp. trans girls. a terf is a transphobe and transmisogynist being legitimized as a feminist - this means that any trans person seeking out feminist resources can be suddenly hit with abusive, violent rhetoric. terfs do not have a mere disagreement with trans women, they hate us and constantly throw verbal abuse & harassment in order to suicide bait.
it is absolutely a responsibility to not legitimize their voices.
nothing a terf has to say is worth the total disregard for our lives a snippy reblog signifies. this isn’t hard and there’s no fucking excuse.
if I ever reblog someone you know to be a TERF A) rest assured it was not intentional and B) pls let me know right away so that I can remove that filth from my blog
crows are fucking great and scary as hell. My friends kitty killed a crow a while ago, and up until recently was a marked cat. they would send one to watch him whenever he was outside, and then after a little while my friend found the cat under a car across the street making all kinds of sounds, and the car was surrounded by crows all fucking snapping at him and raising hell.
Uhh maybe the hit has been called off after that or something, I think the cat just doesn’t rly go outside anymore for the most part now
im really bothered about what information can be processed by the crow community and like how that information is transmitted. like crows know stuff and they definitely talk to one another but like how. and what do they know about me. how much of the shit i do goes on my crow permanent record. where do they keep that stuff
a fun fact about crows is: any time a secret comes into existence which is known by only one person, somewhere in the world, a crow learns this secret also
Do you want to know what’s a strange feeling? Having a platonic crush on someone. You go through all the same crap as with a romantic crush, trying to impress them, not wanting to seem over eager, wanting to talk to them all the time. The only difference is, instead of wanting to kiss them until they can’t breathe, you want to rent all of the movies with them and have a sleep over. It’s rather disconcerting.
Omg I was literally trying to explain/understand this last night and I’m so glad it’s a thing lmao
as much as im happy for caitlyn in coming out i want to give a shout out to all of the trans kids who are going to have to sit in silence and listen to their parents/family members make harsh and transphobic statements on how they feel about her transition
youve got this i know this sucks but i know you can do it
my school has a yearly male “beauty” pageant called Mr. GM and today my friend told me “I can do mr gm” so im like “uh yeah any boy can do it but freshmen usually dont” and he grabbed me and hes like “No, the school said i could do mr gm” and it clicked that he is a trans boy and ive never been prouder of my school
My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.
why dont we ever talk about how movies condition girls to associate glasses and curly hair with ugliness because that is so fucking damaging to young girls who grow up seeing girls who look like them always be the “before” of every makeover
read this post. read it again. read it two more times. read it aloud. i want this to be ingrained into peoples’ minds
this is so important. this was me (lucy) as a kid and by aged nine I had fully accepted that I was forever going to be the token ‘ugly girl’ because of my glasses and frizzy blonde hair – so much so that when people laughed at me/made fun, I just dealt with it because part of me was like, ‘it’s probably justified. I mean, look at me.’ What fucking nine year old should have to think like that? Do not let movies condition you into thinking some people are ugly/worthless
this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!
ehh what the hell
