So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands. 

10/10 post, dude.

LOUDER FOR THE VEGANS IN THE BACK: use honey, not agave! Bees need your support and other animals need agave! Using honey means more bees!!

Other animal products that are absolutely fine to use because they produce it in excess:

- Wool. Sheep need to be sheared or their wool will get excessively large, matted and gross. Its legit just a haircut. Calm down and use wool instead of whatever fake acrylic microplastic shit they have in stores now. Wool is super warm, insulating, and guess what! It grows back! Its a renewable resource and all the sheep want in return is some good pasture and protection from predators.

- Eggs. I’m not talking about storebought eggs. Go to your local farmer’s market. Find someone around with chickens/ducks. These birds produce eggs literally every day and will not stop unless they are molting, brooding, or kept in the dark for most of the day. Like I am not joking when I say you can very easily find someone with poultry and they will beg you to take some eggs. Theres so many. Please. Take some duck eggs. I dont want them. I had 8 laying ducks last year. Thats 8 eggs every day. Thats 2 dozen eggs every THREE DAYS. Thats SO MANY EGGS PLEASE TAKE SOME EGGS

Reducing animal cruelty does not mean abolish the use of animal products. Go eat honey. Go use wool. Go find a friend with birds and eat eggs, or get your own. Just because it comes from an animal does not make it cruel.

More people should keep dairy goats.

For clarification, though, honey bees are not the ones threatened with extinction (although they face similar threats to other bees); it’s other bees like bumble bees, mason bees, mining bees, etc. that are in trouble.

The best things you can do for bee conservation

• plant flowers native to your region to provide them with food. If you’re located in the USA you can start here (don’t know as much about other places sorry)
• avoid using lawn and garden insecticides if at all possible. That stuff you can buy at Lowe’s that says it kills 200+ types of insects? Yeah, anything that affects such a broad range of bugs is lethally toxic to bees. These chemicals are also highly dangerous to you, so think long and hard about it.
• let other people know! tell your friends about the cool bees!

This bee is called the Perplexing Bumble Bee. Its scientific name is Bombus perplexus. You’re welcome.

tumblr management know we feel this way though. They’ve just added trackers to sharing urls/links. The first step to targeted advertising, yay!

don’t get complacent about the possibility of tumblr becoming a corporate hellscape

remember that ANY text in a link after a ? is only tracking information and can ALWAYS be safely removed

Quick summary of the (I think) easy way I've been getting around this now:

1. When you copy a link, it'll come in the format https://at.tumblr.com/[blog name]/[post number]/[tracking junk] (brackets are just for show, don't include those!)
2. Delete the tracking junk. That's anything after the post number.
3. Replace the "at" before tumblr.com with [blog name]. Replace where [blog name] used to be with "post" (no quotation marks).
4. Your final format should be https://[blog name].tumblr.com/post/[post number]
5. Share the link! It should go directly to the post and not route through any app store or tracking nonsense.

Hope this helps someone!

like that one post someone made criticizing kingdom hearts for the blatant colorism of the only dark skinned characters being villains and someone was basically like “the villains have dark skin because darkness is evil and it goes with the series’s themes! hope this helps!” like holy shit how can you not see the problem with that
