So as some of you may have heard, today is Canada Day. I’m taking this opportunity to let the rest of the world know that we are not perfect, and we should not be celebrating.

They found two mass graves in the last month.

Graves full of children who did nothing wrong other than wanting to experience their own culture. Hundreds of Indigenous children who were taken away from their homes and families, forced into Residential “Schools” and beaten and raped and killed just for existing. The last school didn’t close until 1996.

Back when they first started these schools, our ancestors claimed it was “for their own good” and to “help them adjust to normal life” as if their way of life wasn’t normal, as if it was wrong. They weren’t allowed to celebrate their culture or even speak their own language.

They called them savages. Girls were treated as sexual objects at as young as 4. But the thing is it’s not *were* it’s *are*. The stereotypes never went away. Even now thousands of Indigenous people are left without clean water. Thousands of Indigenous women and children are MISSING and no one is looking for them. Important pieces of their culture and history are being torn down with every new construction project. And if any of them dare to say anything about it? They’re told to “sit down, shut up. We stopped killing you, you should be grateful.”

Canadians, we as a country are failing the Indigenous population. We need to speak up and speak out, and most importantly, LISTEN TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WHEN THEY TELL YOU THEY ARE BEING OPPRESSED BECAUSE THEY ARE.

bill help (electricity, water, internet, etc.)

hello, internet.

i'm posting on here to ask for a little bit of help making bills, which include electricity, water, internet, and food. i live in a house where bills are divided by four, and for some reason i am still paying more than my other roommates, as well as dealing with their disrespect regarding my name and pronouns. here are some links if you are willing to help me, please reshare if you can:

KOFI: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/aurumandink

PayPal: paypal.me/spectacularspiderman (Please note this app still has my deadname for legal reasons.)

CashApp: $TheseusAsteria

i am a trans guy, and when i moved to georgia as most of you know, i had been using the name alex since it was close to my deadname and i hadn't yet had time to think about an actual name. I eventually settled, as you may know, on theseus. i also made sure my roommates knew to refer to me as he/him. i introduced my new name to my roommates and was told "oh my god, stop changing your name." and they continued to refer to me only as alex. only recently, i confronted my roommates around it and while there has been some minor improvement, one of my roommates has decided to refer to me as alex unless i have "earned the right to use my preferred name." yesterday, she also did this with my pronouns and it came as a shock to me.

also this week, i was told me being $50 short on rent was the reason one of my roommates was mentally abused by her father, and in response to me saying "that's not okay to tell me" i have once again been isolated by the entire household.

as for food money donations, there is food in the house but one of my roommates will scream and throw an adult tantrum. i am genuinely scared to touch the food and she has screamed and shouted at me about it. like, literally, i cannot touch any food in the house or i'm stealing from her, despite some of it being food i had bought and stored in the fridge.

my goal is to eventually move out of this house, and save up the money to do so. in the meantime, any donations will help greatly.

thanks. if you want screenshots of conversations between me and my roommates, i will provide them.

I had this sprung on my by the transphobic roommate, if you don't want to read it we're all apparently moving out:

I have until July 1st to find new housing or a way back home for now. Any donations will go to housing so I won't be homeless. I genuinely don't understand why I wasn't told this sooner and I'm freaking out because while they have places to go, I don't. Please, please reshare and spread this post.

Hey, guys. The goal is to have enough money to get a Greyhound ticket from Georgia to Seattle since my roommates are deciding that they're basically kicking me out since this whole drama mess started. Someone has been texting my roommates and sending them some weird stuff and the backlash is falling on me now. Please reblog and reshare as much as you can.

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…?

bee carnival

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.

bees will straight up leave if the conditions with the beekeeper are worse than conditions in the wild

help me make rent

hey, tumblr! please help me by either donating or sharing this post. i have about two days to make $250 for my rent. i am willing to trade art for donations once my etsy store opens.

cashapp: $TheseusAsteria

Paypal: paypal.me/spectacularspiderman

I have a day left. Please reblog if you are willing as this will keep me from being kicked out. As said before, I will be willing to trade art for donations once my store opens.

Those idiots who keep saying "it's both sides" are part of the problem. In fact, they're most of the problem.

ONE TREE HILL REWATCH ↳ Season 1, Episode 2; The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most

i think more bisexual men need to embrace their role as a slut. im tired of bisexual women shouldering the entire weight of the slut community on their shoulders.

can y’all stop making bad jokes?

i wasn’t joking

It's not bots or Neurotypical Karens™️ who run positivity and recovery blogs - it's fellow mentally ill people who are struggling to get better themselves. Every time you leave a rude, mean or otherwise negative comment on a positive post, you're actively ruining someone else's attempt to work on their mental health. It's not cute, it's not funny and it's not fair to the person in question who has to see all your bullshit in their notes. So please learn to just scroll past the harmless positivity posts you don't personally relate to for whatever reason. There's really no need to drag others down with you - and dragging others down with you is exactly what you're doing when you choose to have a public meltdown on someone else's post.
