vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

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

Prove it.

They literally puke their guts up to make your honey

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

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder

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. 

…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

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.

Apiarists are also why we have as many bees as we do. Wild bee populations are depleted, but happy and healthy colonies may be what bring them back in time.

Also, remember that bees absolutely can and will attack your bitch ass if you piss them off. Anyone who’s ever sat on a patio knows full well what happens when a bee doesn’t consent to your presence on its planet, and it is; “I’m taking you with me”.

Bees that stay with beekeepers could have fled their hive, or stung them to death (or tried). If they didn’t, they’re cool to hang out.

And one of the causes of bees going peace out were gone is... get this: NOT taking honey when there’s too much. They want room to store fresh honey and will swarm (get together as a group and leave the hive) if there’s no room to store more honey.

Or actively wish us dead.

its fun to draw cats when you dont know cat anatomy 

They look normal to me

cats don’t know what anatomy is either

I ersonally know someone who was so worried about the cost of an ambulance that he was about to call a taxi despite having a traumatic brain injury. Luckily someone called 911. For him which literally saved his life.

At first it surprised me that there are so many Jewish radfems, but it actually makes a lot of sense. An unfortunately common narrative is that antisemitism doesn't exist and Jews are actually privileged and this is similar in many ways to how women are told we're not oppressed and also that we, in fact, are privileged.

Also the fact that Jewish women are being used as pawns for trans activism probably contributed

sexual boundaries can never be immoral. not sorry. to say otherwise is rape rhetoric. 

this is literally about thinking trans women are just men

pay attention and people will just tell on themselves

@eubalaena is a rape apologist.

Even if “trans women” weren’t men - nobody is obliged to have sex with them. You’re promoting rape, @eubalaena.

I’m attracted to women. Doesn’t mean I want sex with every woman ever. My sisters are straight. Doesn’t mean they are into every man they meet. I am notoriously picky. Dating, food, everything in my life. My default is to say no. And that’s fine. Everyone is entitled to say no for any reason.

Girls don't like sports.

Girls like skirts 👗💋👠

“Beauty blogger” says the bloated male pig. 

This girl liked sports. This girl didn’t like skirts. What a sexist jerk.

I hated sports i also hated skirts (because i couldnt play in them) and fancy shoes (because they hurt)

I liked sports enough that I trained extra hard so I could compete on the boys team. Because my school didn’t have a girls team. But title IX said I had a right to sports. I fought to do that. I fought so other girls would be able to. And this sexist piece of shit has the gall to invalidate not only my efforts, but the work of the women who fought for that law.

We can’t even equip teachers with pencils and paper sufficient for a year.

A bashful young wombat trots up to you… Your day improves.

She looks like a happy gumdrop.

I was taught just you don’t speak ill of the dead at like their funeral and in front of their like wife or parents, but once they’re in the ground and the booze starts flowing it’s time to get the older of the kids caught up on all the family bullshit

That’s how my family does it. Though we don’t even wait for the booze to flow. The second we’re back in the car, my mom is all “Well, that was an... interesting eulogy. Everybody knows he cheated his ex wife. And he played games with Uncle Wilton’s books.”

i hope people realize that southern states reopening even when they shouldn’t is not because southern people are dumb. it’s because their mayors and governors want them to die. they care about the economy more than the people there.

and because they don’t want to pay unemployment anymore. they’d rather people die than pay unemployment
