These are leaf cutter ants! They harvest leaves to take back to their nest. They don’t eat the leaves but instead feed it to a fungus they tend to and eat. These guys are farmers and the leaves are fertilizer. Such fascinating little creatures!

@goofy-goblins THE FOREST IS FUCKING RUNNING AWAY !!!

you'll see someone make excellent leftist points, the most insightful statements you've read in a while, and then you check their blog and just three weeks ago they made a post repeating Tumblr-style anti-vegan sentiments that do not engage with actual leftist veganism at all and portray us in a manner that even the most warping mirror wouldn't reflect back to us

It's always hard reading about the violence committed to steal America, but the buffalo is always like... That's some inhuman shit. Everyone is burning in hell for that one. Wdym there were thirty to sixty MILLION buffalo in 1800, and by 1900 there were only 300 left. THREE HUNDRED. Do you know, can you fathom the amount of purposeful cruelty required to kill NINETY NINE PERCENT of a population of an animal, just to spite and murder the living Native people who existed and thrived with them? All this, for White Power and Entitlement?? Sickening.

feels like some of u aren't properly appreciating the fact that he sleeps in a berry patch. and he rolls over and squishes the berries into his fur. because he's so sleepy and content.

maybe people think he's an ugly dog but just to be clear he is actually a beautiful pig

being kind to animals isn’t just having a dog or a cat or petting a horse when you see one, being kind to animals is being kind to all animals including changing your lifestyle if the present one is dependent on animal cruelty and abuse. 

i dont think we will ever have a tolerable conversation about veganism on this website bc every fucking post about the subject is like. the most unethical plastic wearing slave labor supporting out of touch vegan compared against the most ethical locally grown radical communist small town farmer meat eater. can we have a discussion based in reality for once.

Hot take, apparently: The purpose of a horse is not to be ridden.

tumblr pisses me off so fucking bad why does no one ever wants to talk about WHO is working in the slaughter houses and under what conditions. everyone is always like ‘oh you care more about cows and pigs than the exploited farmers having to produce your quinoa’ (as if only vegetarians and vegans eat quinoa but w/e) and its like girl who the fuck do you think is slaughtering these animals? Slaughter houses are shady & dangerous places w/ a long history of failed regulatory oversight. not to mention the mental aspect of having to slaughter animals on industrial scale every single day. These workers are mostly immigrants and refugees and they’re being exploited. Fourteen year old children were found working in slaughterhouses in California like lollll yeah and you paid for that. calling yourself a ‘leftist’ and defending the industrial breeding and killing of animals is hypocritical it just is. and thats fine like we’re all hypocrites but let’s get off that high horse and get a bit real okay?
