Seems Like All The Things People Say Are "missing The Point" Or "not Doing Enough" About Saving Pollinators,

Seems like all the things people say are "missing the point" or "not doing enough" about saving pollinators, actually are doing some good.

Like No Mow May and leaving your lawn weeds alone, sure it's important to be planting species native to your area, but cosmopolitan lawn weeds like dandelions are actually really important for pollinators even in areas where they're not native. Gas powered lawn mowers put out a shit ton of CO2, way more per hour of use than cars, and the other air pollutants caused by lawn mowers are bad for us, so it's great to cut down on lawn mowing any way possible.

And on top of all that, a month of not mowing gives enough time for wild flowers to start growing where they couldn't before, so if you participate in no mow may, you might not NEED to plant native flowers because you might already have them

same thing with "save the bees" and focusing on honeybees, the pesticides that are affecting honeybees are also killing our native pollinators, so it will benefit them all to stop spraying.

people getting into beekeeping is good, even though honey bees aren't the ones endangered, it shows people how they are in symbiosis with other life forms.

And I'm reading a book about beekeeping, cause dad wants to keep bees, and the book says if you keep bees you will have to talk to your neighbors about pesticides and how they will harm the bees. That is a benefit to the whole ecosystem if someone is educating the people around them about the harms of pesticides

On top of that, more people are experiencing firsthand that honey comes from bees and consequently, understanding that insects aren't just scary and bad, and when they see a bee maybe they won't feel threatened and want to destroy it but instead think "oh yeah that is my friend that gives me delectable treats"

It is recommended to offer your neighbors honey from your hives. If they put pesticides on their flowers, they will put poison in the honey they were promised, if they get any honey at all

the greatest social contagion of our time (other than misogyny ofc) is capitalism. human “progress” is dictated and regulated by capital. “why are we going to war?” capital. “why are women’s rights regressing?” capital. “why are gay people suddenly in every tv show despite homophobia being rampant?” capital. “why is there a push for men to wear makeup and transpeople to get surgery?” it’s not progress, it’s capital. BBLs, “shave with this feminist razor,” boy clothes or girl clothes, for him/for her, “you deserve the perfect wedding,” girl dinner, “celebrate your melanin skin with this bronzer for $199,” “here’s a funny ad making fun of vegans from a meat factory, isn’t it funny?” “take our free quiz to find out your aesthetic/if you’re neurodivergent,” “10 signs you could have psycho personality disorder” . . . it’s been marketing from the start.

it doesn’t matter if it’s crazy, untrue or evil—it makes bank. human rights don’t matter if they don’t make capital. human lives don’t matter if they don’t have capital. you are not an agent in your life or country without capital. merchant class and consumer class is how the world is sliced. 99.9% of every piece of entertainment is marketing. it is marketing beliefs and ideas for the sake of capital with no regard to human quality of life. that’s why you can have an influx of movies and songs about, idk, black lives mattering, but if the exploitation of black people makes more bank than their liberation, the oligarchs and emperors will do whatever they need to do to get the extra buck. they’ll find a charity, and starve sweatshop workers. maybe even fund a dictator’s army to keep the nation destabilized.

like literally every facet of human life has become capitalistic. be it religion, academia, clothing, etc. it’s everywhere in everything. we used to be able to just like what we liked, but now every like of ours is a data point that is used to market and constrain our own natural, evolving self-expression into a strict niche. companies offer more products than services. like who would we be if we allowed ourselves to be contradicted? if we stopped reading tabloid experts? if we just IGNORED social media campaigns or trends? if we just stopped trying to keep up in a race that never finishes?

most people don’t even realize how much their identities are shaped by what they consume. how the doctrine of consumption has ruined their relationships. there is no loneliness bug or depression virus going around. we just talk and behave and see ourselves and each other as assets because we’re used to being treated as customers or products. that’s why we’re so sick and isolated! humanity is so so sick because of this thing like from the skin to the roots! none of it is sustainable!

it’s also not immutable. companies are effective in telling us what we want, but we have always been able to make demands. is this how you want the world to run? no? it’s time to switch up then. I’m talking unsubscribing, deleting apps, buying a house with friends instead of marrying, creating demand for services. consumers are literally the driving force of economy. being mindful of this matters.

Juvia’s fucking strong !!

It came to my attention that a lot of people think Juvia’s weak becuase she didn’t have many fights in the series 💀 Imma just have to make a list on why she’s strong as fuck

In the Grand Magic Games, Juvia faced Aquarius, Lucy’s strongest fucking spirit and was on par with her. Not to say Lucy is weak, but if Juvia can handle Lucy strongest spirit with hardly any trouble, she’s stronger than her lol. Lucy having star dresses doesn’t really change this fact, star dresses just serves the purpose of Lucy not having to sit back behind her spirits and instead can do things herself. This doesn’t change the magical ability of the spirits themselves.

Natsu was impressed that Aquarius could handle Juvia. This just shows how powerful Natsu thinks Juvia is.

Juvia scared Erza. Can y’all please tell me another time where Erza looked that terrified?? I can’t think of any.

Gray considered Juvia an equal and even struggled to beat her. Tbh if Juvia really wanted to beat gray (the first time) she honestly might have. I think if they had a legitimate fight, it would’ve ended the same as Erza vs. Laxus where they both were drained of magic (the first time !!).

Juvia was the top 3 strongest members of phantom lord. It was said that Gajeel and the Element four were the top 5, but Juvia, Aria, and Gajeel were the last ones standing. Plus Juvia said that Aria and herself were the strongest members of the element four.

Juvia killed a demon that didn’t even have a physical body, she shocked the other demons as well. She was also the first one out of Natsu, Gajeel, and herself to kill a demon.

Minerva took advantage of Juvia being distracted to kick her out of the naval battle becuase she was the only one that was actually a threat. Minerva knew she couldn’t beat Juvia normally in her own element.

Juvia also took out 3 (?) people from the Naval battle with one move.

Makarov picked Juvia for the S class trials after her only being a member for a short time, he didn’t even pick Gajeel or Lucy.

Master also chose her to be a part of team B, and the winning Fairytail team.

She fought Gray twice and both times gave him a hard time, even while he was in his devil slayer mode. I think Gray became stronger than Juvia after becoming a devil slayer, but the fact that she could still handle him shows her capability.

Gajeel considers her an equal and can fight by her side. Gajeel, who is equally as strong as Natsu.

Mashima said himself she is the third strongest girl in the guild, followed closely by Cana.

In the tower of heaven, Jellal’s guards were having the most trouble beating her because of her water body.

Gray, Natsu, and Lucy probably wouldn’t have been able to enter the tower of heaven without Juvia’s water magic either.

Juvia also overwhelmed Meredy, Meredy who was giving Erza a hard time to beat.

Her body is also made out of fucking water bro. Her only weakness is steam.

People say Juvia is “weak” cuz she didn’t have any drastic power ups throughout the series like Lucy or Wendy. Juvia didn’t have any insane power ups cuz she was strong to begin with… Similar to Erza, Mira, or Laxus, who’s magical ability hasn’t changed very much since the beginning becuase they were already strong.

Currently can’t think of anything else but, add on as you like!
