Most of Tumblr is already talking about how society isn't the best and 'we live in a society' meme and whatnot. Chill. It's just teens having fun.

it’s incredible how everyone on this site talks about their mental illnesses and how childhood in particular is usually the root of it, how literally almost every person going to therapy has childhood traumas caused by adults, but you’re so happy to talk about hating kids, to say cruel and dehumanizing things about them (calling them “demons”, comparing them to animals and inanimate objects you dislike, viewing them as an inconvenience and a thing to be trained and disciplined, etc), to not show them basic human decency or compassion while acting like this kind of mindset is completely okay and harmless

Anybody have the female counterpart to this meme?

man, I have very little sympathy for people who’re like “I gotta let them play in traffic, my cat WAILS and acts MISERABLE unless I let them outside!”
because like……….so does mine? at a certain point each day Grim decides she wants out, and until that happens she a) follows me about SCREAMING, and b) sits atop whatever I’m doing and bites my hands. this is not an exageration
wanna know what I do? I take her out. either supervised in my backyard or on leash in the front
she naps in the sunlight, eats copious amounts of grass, rolls in dirt, and murders butterflies. after 15-30 minutes (equivalent to the time you’d spend on a neighbourhood dog walk) I take Grim back in, and she happily sleeps/plays/cuddles indoors for the remainder of the day
it’s legitimately low-effort

Not to be a DC fan on main but at least they never made the conscious decision to make everything tied to one character like Marvel as to Iron Man. Wonder Woman didn’t get a new uniform or weapons from Batman to be at “top performance”, Aquaman didn’t need his help or “mentorship” to become a hero, Superman had his own story with minimal mention to Wayne at all.
Compare this to Marvel where Spider-Man, perhaps the most iconic superhero to EVER come out of Marvel, and their origin, personality, and story is completely erased. There’s no Uncle Ben, Aunt May is reduced to flirting with every hot guy and for Iron Man to oglie at, and Spider-Man himself? The character known to have created his own suit, his own weapons, his own story? He’s just Iron Man’s little pet project til he can get an actual kid out of Pepper. He’s just Iron Man jr with a spider motif who needs Stark to hold his hand and tell him what a good boy he is. Give me a fucking break. Iron Man was the joke of Marvel comics for decades until the movies made him “charming”. Spider-Man doesn’t and will never need him to be the hero he is, but god forbid RDJ not get another quick 10 million for acting like himself and for the writers to completely miss the point of their own characters for the sake of box office revenue.
How to help native bees! 🐝
Even a small backyard can provide safe, healthy habitat for bees so they can pollinate the flowers, crops, and trees that support life on earth.
Create a custom bee garden with wildflowers native specifically to your area:
Choose native wildflowers with blossoms of varying sizes and shapes in bee-friendly colors (blue, purple, violet, white, and yellow), and select plants with varied bloom times to support different bee species.
Plant in 3- to 4-foot-wide color blocks of the same species.
Keep your garden pesticide-free.
Mow meadow areas only once each year, when flowers are dead or dormant, and mow in a patch pattern, alternating the areas mowed each year.
Mow lawn areas with a high blade setting so native violets and clover can flourish.
Provide overwintering habitat for bees by allowing dead stems to stand in your gardens until plants begin to grow again in spring.
You can also provide nesting and egg-laying habitat for bees:
Leave an area of bare dirt where ground-nesting bees can tunnel.
Provide stem bundles of bamboo, teasel, or common reed as shelter for wood-nesting bees (mount the bundles firmly, facing the morning sun and sheltered from wind and rain under the eaves of a house or shed, and make fresh stem bundles each year).
Create the nooks and crannies favored by cavity-nesting bees with an easy do-it-yourself project—a bee block.

This is a holloway, a sunken lane formed by traffic or erosion. Some in Europe date to the Iron Age!
But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it.
But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables.
When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades.
Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them.
The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.
Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.

8 Formidable Facts About Bees
Let’s hear it for the bees! (Let’s give the bees a ha-aa-aa-aaand!)
Spring is (supposedly) on its way, so we want to send a little love and appreciation to all the bees out there, making our everyday possible. Join us in celebrating these 8 reasons to celebrate our tiny, but mighty friends.
1. Bees make our surroundings beeee-autiful. In addition to pollinating our crops, bees are responsible for pollinating all of the things that make spring sing. And they’re no novices - they’ve been producing honey from flowering trees (fruit trees, nut trees, and bee-yond) for 10-20 million years! From the TED-Ed Lesson The case of the vanishing honeybees - Emma Bryce
2. Bees are social insects. Honey bees live together in large, well-organized family groups and engage in a variety of complex tasks not practiced by solitary insects. Communication, complex nest construction, environmental control, defense, and division of the labor are just some of the behaviors that honey bees have developed to exist successfully in social colonies. And they are not the least bit lazy: one single bee colony can pollinate 300 million flowers each day. From the TED-Ed Lesson The case of the vanishing honeybees - Emma Bryce
3. Bees are above words. They communicate through ‘dance’ and pheromones. By performing what’s referred to as the ‘waggle dance’, bees can share information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new nest-site locations. From the TED-Ed Lesson Why do honeybees love hexagons? - Zack Patterson and Andy Peterson
4. Bees make great wingmen. Bees are very busy little matchmakers. The bees’ side of the whole “birds and the bees” business is to help plants find mates and reproduce. Today, around 170,000 plant species receive pollination services from more than 200,000 pollinator species, a good many of which are bees! In return, flowering plants are an abundant and diverse food source for pollinators. For instance, fossil records suggest that bees may have evolved from wasps that gave up hunting after they acquired a taste for nectar. From the TED-Ed Lesson How bees help plants have sex - Fernanda S. Valdovinos
5.Bees put food on our tables. Bees pollinate our crops on an industrial scale, generating over one-third of U.S. food production. Their work alone has contributed an estimated $15-20 billion of value to the U.S. agricultural business. From the TED-Ed Lesson The case of the vanishing honeybees - Emma Bryce
6. Bees can totally pack up a car better than you. Honeybees are some of nature’s finest mathematicians. Not only can they calculate angles and comprehend the roundness of the earth, these smart insects build and live in one of the most mathematically efficient architectural designs around: the beehive. Charles Darwin himself wrote that the honeycomb is a masterpiece of engineering. It is “absolutely perfect in economizing labor and wax.” From the TED-Ed Lesson Why do honeybees love hexagons? - Zack Patterson and Andy Peterson
7. Bees are hooked on coffee, too. When bees pollinate coffee plants, they consume low doses of caffeine from the coffee flower nectar, which means that bees are **BUZZZZZING** from a caffeine high just like us, AND helping us to get our coffee fix on the daily! From the TED-Ed Lesson The case of the vanishing honeybees - Emma Bryce
8. Honeybees are disappearing at astonishing rates. Not to be a **buzzkill**, but here’s a not-so-fun fact. In the past decade, the U.S. honeybee population has been decreasing at an alarming and unprecedented rate. Bee mortality rates in commercial production have more than doubled in the last decade, and in 2015, 40% of bee colonies were reported lost in just a single year. There are a variety of factors causing Colony Collapse Disorder, and scientists everywhere are working to prevent further loss of bees. Keep reading to see how you can help. From the TED-Ed Lesson The case of the vanishing honeybees - Emma Bryce
Love bees as much as we do? Well, let’s give the bees a hand, for real! Plant some bee-friendly flowers this spring and remember, when bees have access to good nutrition, we have access to good nutrition through their pollination services.
If you visit the Cheerios website and submit your address, they’ll send you 500 wildflower seeds for free so you can plant them and help save the bees. Source
UPDATE: THEY’RE ALREADY OUT OF SEEDS!
Thank you all for helping save the bees! I’d like to think we made a dent in their supply (whether we did or not, hehehe).

Bee Fact #15
As of October 3rd, 2016, seven species of bees have been put on the American Endangered Species List.
hey please spread this around.
bumblebees are going extinct and i think now is a time to let everyone know that pesticides aren’t the way to go. there are infact alternatives to pesticides that are cheaper and safer.
like caffeine! bees love the smell of caffeine, and it doesn’t hurt them. however every other dangerous bug is repulsed by the smell and wont eat your plants.
it’s that simple! it’s that fucking simple! all you have to do is get some coffee beans or whatever. put it in a cup. put some water in it. put it in a spray bottle. boom! that’s all!
please spread this around to anyone you know i refuse to let bumblebees go extinct
Attention people who don’t have horses:
Sorry to break in with this on a very much Sherlock-only kind of blog- I promise not to make a regular thing of this, but this is something that’s happened TWICE now.
This is Beyli. He’s a two-month old foal and he’s adorable. He belongs to a friend of the family.
So adorable, in fact, that a member of the public spent a nice afternoon feeding him. You feed the ducks and that’s ok. right? It’s a nice thing to do.
They fed him turnip. He choked and gave himself a stomachache as a result.
The problem is that horses can’t really burp and horses can’t vomit. Their digestive systems are fine-tuned and when they go wrong, they go really wrong. Colic in horses is difficult to treat and in Beyli’s case, like many others, proved to be insurmountable. With pain medicine not working, after 4 hours of doing their best with no improvement, the vet called time on his suffering rather than let him go on to a very slow and painful end.
A horse needlessly suffered and died because someone fed him the wrong thing. They weren’t necessarily malicious, they were just hugely ignorant. And worse, they were hugely entitled. There were already signs asking people not to feed the animals. As I said, this has now happened TWICE to the same family, and they’re by no means alone.
PLEASE Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you.
Horses can have disorders, diabetes, allergies and dietry requirements and you have NO IDEA if what you’re giving them is acceptable or not. Even ‘safe’ things like carrot and apple could be ‘wrong’ for this particular horse. Grass clippings? Not okay. Grain? Not okay for a horse that hasn’t been regularly eating it.
Don’t assume. i have seen walkers pull up random plants and offer them over the fence INCLUDING TOXIC, DEADLY weeds like ragwort. I’ve seen horses offered dog-biscuits and bread. I’ve heard of horses being regularly fed by strangers thinking they were being under-fed, when the horse in question was on a vet-given diet to control weight and other conditions.
Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you even little treats and things like sugar cubes because it gives them bad manners. They start biting and harassing people. It’s bad for their teeth and too much sugar is terrible for them.
In some places if the owner has liability insurance, if you can be identified, YOU will be legally responsible for the vet’s bills. And if you’re thinking ‘well, they’d never identify me’, then that’s besides the point.
Please. You wouldn’t feed someone’s dog without asking, I hope. You definitely wouldn’t feed someone else’s child.
TL;DR: Don’t feed other people’s horses. You can make them SERIOUSLY ill. Treat animals in fields like animals at the zoo: you’re welcome to look, but don’t meddle with their care.
PLEASE DON’T FEED OTHER PEOPLE’S HORSES.
