You know what I love? Redemptive story arcs. I love characters who fuck up. Who know they’ve fucked up, and it’s not because of something they couldn’t control or didn’t know - it’s because of their own choices. And I love it when they are brave enough to stand up and say “I was wrong”, and then they spend forever trying to undo what they did. To me that’s more important than heroes who never screw up, because I’m not perfect, so when I screw up and need the courage to admit it, I need people to look to who did the same thing.
Leia finds out that neither Finn nor Rey know who their families are, and she refuses to let them be in a room alone together until they can both produce family trees that go back three generations.
“Never again, Chewie” Leia tells him as they watch BB-8 aggressively roll between them every time they try to get within arm’s reach. “
I know it’s unlikely, but never again.”
Okay, so I might get a lot of hate for this, I might not. I don’t particularly care either way, as long as word gets out about this, because it’s extremely important to me.
As I’m sure most people know by now, bees are disappearing at alarming rates. Simply put, our entire species could not survive without them. This is due to a syndrome called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
On the other hand, beekeepers are essential to increasing bee populations. They monitor the bees’ health and help protect them from dangerous parasites and pesticides that are suspected to cause CCD. In addition, well-kept bees never need to use the amount of honey they produce; Honey is made by the bees to consume only when there is not enough food for them outside the hive. In the care of a good beekeeper, this will only happen during the winter months, and the keeper will leave enough honey for the bees to thrive until it’s spring again.
It’s best to buy local, organic honey if at all possible. Local beekeepers will not use dangerous factory-farming methods, and it helps maintain your local bee population! If you want to help bees in a more active way than buying local honey, you can plant a bee garden or even become a small-scale beekeeper! (I don’t have a link for this, it’s best to check out local resources. Maybe even ask the person selling honey at your farmer’s market!)
Re-blogging because this is important to note!
I’m actively trying to switch my sugar usage (in coffee, tea etc) to local honey, because even if it’s more expensive I want to do my part (and it being more expensive means I use less in each cup, which is good for me too)
i was gunna confine this to my tags but i’m mad that trans activism is making a man who performs as a woman into a revolutionary act
when there are women out here making strides in technologies, changing the world, doing revolutionary political work, intellectual work and we are bumped in favour of a man who wears a dress. where is the woman of the year award for the women who, despite barriers and sexism, are able to accomplish life changing things? I’m sick of womanhood being watered down to wearing a dress and makeup. I’m sick of men being praised for feminine performance.
i dont feel good about that.
I’m sick of women being reduced to their genitalia.
I’m sick of people pitting women against each other as if we can only admire a single woman at a time.
I’m sick of the lack of attention that is given to the achievements of women being blamed on other women.
I’m sick of radical ideologies being misused in an attempt to simplify gender in order to justify bigotry.
I’m sick of seeing femininity shat on, especially if trans women dare conform to it, even though for them it can often be a matter of life and death.
I am not bound to other women by my vagina, or my uterus or our shared stories of Barbie tea parties. I am bound to another woman due to the strength of her convictions, the lens through which she sees the world.
There is no single, uniting factor that binds all women other than we all suffer under patriarchy and my god, am I just so sick of seeing women target other women instead of patriarchal systems.
I promise you, there is nothing radical about judging a woman by her genitalia, there is nothing radical about dedicating your time to being misogynistic towards other women and there is nothing radical about transphobia.
It’s old and regressive and that is all it ever will be.
P.S. Got to love TERFS who are SO eager to shit on trans women they will reblog from disgusting anti feminist bloggers with rabid agreement. Stay classy!
Whatever anyone might think of Caitlyn Jenner as a person, I will 100% fight anyone who wants to try to pretend that fucking existing as a trans woman (out or not, transitioned or not, young or old, any race or sexuality) is not a revolutionary act. It truly fucking is. I will fight every one of you disgusting fucks who thinks it’s ok to misgender and deadname a famous trans woman just because she has used her fame to bring a lot of light to trans activism.

i knew exactly the moment you were describing in an instant but thank u for providing a pic anyway bc……. what radiance!? what splendour.
