Ben Shapiro is not a fucking Nazi. Is he a racist misogynistic transphobe? Yes. Is he a piece of shit? Yes. Does he deserve to be treated the way we treat nazis, by being deplatformed? Absolutely. Listen I fucking hate Ben Shapiro. I hate him. As a trans person I can completely understand and get behind the anger people have towards Ben Shapiro. But Jewish people cannot be nazis. We just can’t. Saying Ben Shapiro is a Nazi is bad for a few reasons:

1. It’s antisemitic. I don’t frankly care if bad things happen to Ben Shapiro because he’s a shit person. He should get what’s coming to him for the shit he’s said. What I DO care about is excusing antisemitism against ANYONE and blaming a Jew for his own persecution by calling him one of the people who persecute him is antisemitic. To be completely clear: Ben Shapiro deserves to get the shit beat out of him for being a racist transphobe, he does NOT deserve to be subject of antisemitic remarks. When you say something antisemitic about one jew it’s opening it up for you to say it about all jews.

2. It really just makes leftists look silly frankly. It’s so painfully obvious that Jews can’t be nazis. Like. I shouldn’t have to explain this.

3. It ignores the fact that even though Ben Shapiro holds many Nazi-esque views on race and gender, he STILL is not allowed to be considered a Nazi by other nazis because he is Jewish, and is even subject to a ton of harassment from actual nazis. This shows exactly how much nazis hate jews, which brings me to my last point.

4. It removes antisemitism from the nazis platform. If a Jew can be a Nazi, nazis don’t hate jews, and that’s fucking obviously not true and is an extremely harmful sentiment for Jews that are not pieces of shit.

Hell, you can be absolutely right, and in a year she’s gonna laugh and say ‘haha I thought I liked men, can you believe it?’ And you can still keep your damn mouth shut

Let every girl explore and discover her identity at her own pace in her own way.

Let every girl choose the labels that make her the happiest and most comfortable

I id'ed as pan ace for half a year before I started seeing myself as a lesbian. And honestly, had someone tried to chew me out for that or called it a phase I would’ve been crushed.

I can only imagine how much worse it feels for actual bi and pan girls

Let bi girls be bi girls and let girls-who-you’re-pretty-sure-are-not-actually-bi be bi girls because that’s their label to pick.

PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL PAST THIS

PLEASE VOTE YES FOR GAY MARRIAGE IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!

- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - “not even water?” (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of “do you sleep in that?” (we don’t) and “where is your hair?” (in a bun or a braid, usually) - “is it mooze-slim or mozzlem?” (the answer is neither, it’s muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - “ee-slam or iz-lamb?” (it’s iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - “hee-job?” (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)

- “kor-an?” (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isn’t just covering hair, it’s also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just don’t like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isn’t just for special occasions, you’ll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isn’t just for muslims, either, it’s not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each other’s mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where they’re from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no “versions” of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking God’s name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - don’t use islamic phrases if you don’t know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means “God is Greatest” (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if we’re scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; it’s like saying “oh my god”) - Subhan Allah means “Glory be to God” (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if it’s in nature) - Bismillah means “in the name of God” and it’s just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means “if God wills” (example: you’ll be famous, in shaa Allah) (it’s a reminder that the future is in God’s hands, so be humble and be hopeful)

1) honeybees do not produce “extra honey.” And beekeepers don’t take some of the honey, they take all of it.

Because I am!

Beekeepers make sure hives are fed before there is pollen in the air, protected from predators and the elements, and have enough honey to sustain themselves. We don’t take all of it.

But overproduction of honey leads to stagnation in the hive. It puts stress on the queen to lay eggs, and when they inevitably fill up all their space with honey (instead of filling up the multiple empty, clean boxes of frames beekeepers might put on top of the main hive box), the queen can get so stressed she dies. If there’s a spike in the weather and the hive hasn’t prepared new queen brood, that’s it! The colony is dead. Because there wasn’t enough space for eggs and honey in the hive.

Beekeepers take excess honey. We are constantly monitoring the state of the hive, checking for parasites, analyzing the eggs for diseases, and making sure they are fed and healthy (usually with sugar water and pollen substitutes until they have made enough honey to sustain themselves in the early spring months). If a queen dies prematurely, we make every attempt to replace her to save the colony.

I know there’s an urge to patronize everyone who works in the farming industry, but try to understand the differences between small scale agriculture and industrial farming. There IS a difference. And stop spreading misinformation.

If you’re this passionate about ethical consumption, look into some of the ecofeminist research on non-hierarchal interspecies relationships (working on building animal-human relationships in a non exploitative way).

Yea Chickens are some of the most abused animals on big factory farms and I’ll be the first to admit it’s criminal and more needs to be done to regulate this.

Yes selective breeding over time has caused an increase in the ammount of eggs produced by chickens and factory farms have some messed up practices to get more eggs from them including forced moutling.

THIS IS WHY YOU SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS AND THEIR EGGS

People have a very hard time understanding that just because what happened doesn’t line up with what you wanted, it doesn’t necessarily it was bad writing.

Like, Adam was well-written because he fulfilled the role he was meant to play very well. Every time I’ve ever heard anyone involved with the show talk about Adam, they’ve always mentioned how creepy and uncomfortable he is to them, and that comes across in how he’s written and animated and voiced.

I have a friend who had very different expectations for Raven than what we got, so she’s a little disappointed by who Raven turned out to be and she doesn’t like her as much as she used to, but she understands that Raven was written the way she was because it fits the story they’re trying to tell. She doesn’t call it bad writing that Raven wasn’t exactly how she wanted her to be.

“Adam should have been redeemed to show that anyone has the ability to change.” Except Adam is an abuser. They have several other villains that have been painted in a more sympathetic light than Adam has, namely Emerald, so why should they use an abuser to send this message that anyone can change when they can use one of those sympathetic villains instead? If anything, Adam is meant to show that sometimes people are just too far gone.

And then whenever people say they should have just not made him an abuser so he could be a story of someone who went too far trying to do what was right and eventually be redeemed, it’s just like, that character already exists and her name is Ilia. I don’t know how to explain that the character arc you want is already in the show, it’s just not with the character you want.

idk I just don’t trust Adam stans because it feels like they saw him in the Black Trailer and were like “oh, he’s a badass” and then made up a whole character arc for him in their head to justify liking him for being a badass. Which would be fine and good if they didn’t insist on acting like Miles and Kerry are obligated to give Adam that character arc when NOTHING HAS ever suggested he was going to get something like it.
