No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that's so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you'll say "Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you're right" and that doesn't mean you were "morally toxic" before, it means you're a non-omniscient human capable of growth.
Bees choose to live in the box where they know damn well that a large fraction of the honey will periodically be removed, instead of simply leaving that place like they are perfectly able to do, because the human box comes with an invulnerable titan to guard them against all threats. The bees consider the payment offered to this colossal mercenary to be a pretty good deal.
Bees know about supply and demand
Protection money
Protection honey
[ID: a tweet from Christin @hexprax that says “Honey is vegan. I don’t really care if a bee is like “where’s all the honey I’ve been making?! [several more exclamation and question marks]” they probably get over it really fast. Their brains are very small.” the tweet is from 2019-01-22. end ID]

hi, to all mlm/nblm’s & non-lesbian queer women/non-men: there is never a need to “apologize” for loving men, or for having a boyfriend. never.
be “boy crazy”, appreciate the boys you like’s beauty and personality, daydream about boys, have fun with your attraction to boys. there’s nothing wrong with it.
the consequences of our patriarchal system should never go on minorities, who are then shamed for, or end up feeling ashamed of, their attraction to boys. it should go on the awful men who do perpetuate the system.
I think the historical treatment of left handed people is objectively the funniest form of bigotry mankind has ever displayed
Bitches will create a binary and use it to oppress the other side for ANYTHING
