matcha originated in China about 1200 years ago, açaà has been consumed by Indigenous communities in the Amazon for centuries, and Dubai chocolate was invented by combining chocolate with knafeh, an 1100 year old SWANA snack.
western (usually white but seemingly not in this case) people love to call nonwhite foods suddenly becoming popular in western mainstream culture "industry plants" as if they haven't always existed.
this is orientalism.
There is a legitimate point being made though. The sudden popularity of Dubai chocolate did NOT happen organically, it's been actively promoted and funded and subsidized as an act of economic warfare against Iran, who was formerly the world's largest supplier of pistachios, but is no longer due to the opening salvo of the aforementioned economic warfare which started with Reagan (shocker) heavily subsidizing California farmers to grow pistachios in response to the 1979 revolution.
Sure, maybe sometimes it is just orientalism, and fads do come and go all the time, but it's not stupid to ask if there's an agenda behind a social media blitz.
Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely
Itâs like they expect us to just forget their original marketing schemes in favor of more and more money grabs.

But by 2023, just two years of letting "nature take the lead" one can find 4,000 bees, with the number of different bee species doubling.
"A Scottish field once home to mono-crop barley has become a pollinatorâs paradise after intervention from a local trust saw bumblebee numbers increase 100-fold.
Entitled Rewilding Denmarkfield, and run by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the project has also seen a sharp increase in the number of species passing through the rolling meadows after they were reclaimed by dozens of wildflower species.
The area north of Perth is about 90 acres in size, and surveys of bumblebees before the project began rarely recorded more than 50. But by 2023, just two years of letting ânature take the leadâ that number has topped 4,000, with the number of different bee species doubling.
âThis superb variety of plants attracts thousands of pollinators. Many of these plants, such as spear thistle and smooth hawkâs beard, are sometimes branded as âweedsâ. But they are all native species that are benefiting native wildlife in different ways,â Ecologist Ellie Corsie, who has been managing the project since it began in 2021, said.
âDue to intensive arable farming, with decades of plowing, herbicide, and pesticide use, biodiversity was incredibly low when we started. Wildlife had largely been sanitized from the fields. Rewilding the site has had a remarkable benefit.â
Similar increases have been recorded in the populations of butterflies, with a tripling in the number of these insects seen on average during a ramble through the field.
The numbers of both insects are now so high that Rewilding Denmarkfield offers bee and butterfly safaris to visitors.
Local residents told the Scotsman that on spring and summer days, the field is awash with color, and hums with the sounds of bees and birds. Even as multiple housing developments expand around the Denmarkfield area, the field is a haven for wildlife."

iâm printing this out and iâm putting it on the mirror so i can confront myself with it
Outdoor cat owners have no concept of basic ecology and it shows. "You're saying my kitty is EVIL for following its instincts???????" obviously not, you idiot, its an animal. I don't blame it because it is designed to hunt and doesn't understand human morality. The cat's human owner, though, should stop pretending that millions of people letting their pets hunt native species for fun WON'T make their ecossystem collapse. If you stop hearing birdsong in your neighborhood its your fault đ.
Also cats are domestic animals????? Its your pet. Its your responsability to take care of it and it certainly doesn't look like you are doing this if your pet spends 90% of the day on the streets. Outside cats are in great risk for being ran over, stolen, beaten, poisoned, mauled or eaten by wild animals. A mildly bored cat is way better than a dead one and besides? Just offer your pet enrichment. You don't need to risk its life to keep it happy. You can even let it outside with supervision!! Look how many options we have. Insisting the only way to keep your cat happy is allowing it to wreck the environment and possibly die is not only fucking irresponsible, but also lazy and shows that you don't really care for the wildlife around you.
Reminder to all nonbinary people: You can summon SUE the T. rex for aid

[ID: Bugs Bunny in a suit meme, edited to read "I wish all Etruscan shrews a very pleasant brain-regrowing season."]
It's spring! [x]
Happy first day of spring!
I happen to think this is a) an incredibly fun fact and b) a pretty funny way to convey it, but despite my efforts (reblogging this once a year), I have yet to get âbrain regrowing seasonâ to take off.
Some additional Etruscan shrew facts:
Theyâre the smallest mammal if you measure by mass, coming in at under 2g. Thatâs tiny.
Because theyâre so small, their volume to surface area ratio is messed up, and they are constantly in danger of their body temperature dropping. Their very high metabolism is what keeps them alive.
Their brains can shrink by up to 28% over the winter, so that they donât have to keep it warm and fed during the coldest season.
They donât even live where itâs super cold â as the name suggests, theyâre found around the Mediterranean, as well as in parts of Southeast Asia. But theyâre very sensitive to the cold, on account of being tiny.
Theyâre so tiny!!! đđđ
#would love to see a picture of these little dudes
From Wikimedia. Theyâre beautiful and very small.
I hope my brain will regrow this season as well...
clearly some of you have not been to the labyrinth of pestilence deep beneath kentucky
alright so when I was a teenager I went to this bug-themed summer camp for socially stunted nerds and on the way back from it I visited the university of kentucky. I met with an entomologist there and while we were touring the department he asked "wanna see something cool?" so he took me down an elevator to what must've been a sub-sub-sub basement on a card-access only floor, and after turning several more corners we went through two sets of (I'm not even exaggerating) 12-inch thick doors, opening onto one long as fuck corridor. each side of this hallway was lined with about 50 refrigerators. and each and every single one of these refrigerators was filled with hundreds of thousands. of live. bedbugs. the very reasonable explanation for this was that they were doing research on insecticides and needed to test them on real samples, but they could not under any circumstances allow them to escape, so they had to be kept under area 51 levels of overkill containment. but reasonable or not that was very much not what I anticipated seeing that day. so yeah. I decided after that I did not want to become an entomologist
absolutely baffled to get to the end of that story and hear you decide NOT to be an entomologist but possibly that's the entomologist in me speaking
as this breaches containment it is vital to me that The People know my problem with the bedbug labyrinth was NOT the bedbugs. that was obviously sick as fuck. the problem was it dawning on me how much entomology research is anti-bug instead of pro bug. weird girl equivalent of realizing how much time veterinarians spend putting down dogs
