like i'm gonna be real-- this is not good. they can now frame the left as the violent and dangerous people that they've wanted to all this time. they can now actually claim to be the victims that they've been saying they are this whole time. they can use this as a mandate to crack down on everyone who opposes them. with biden already in freefall this is the galvanizing thing that will make those who were unsure about aligning with the democrats the motivation to swing to the republicans in droves. it will give the already united republicans the "moral" authority to condemn not only the elected officials in the democratic party but characterize the entire progressive movement as violent anarchists based on social media reactions. if we were cooked before, we've just entered the flash fryer.

Oh dear - I keep hearing tips about leaving bowls of sugar water out to āhelpā keep bees hydrated. Please, please, please DONāT. Bees are really good at finding what they need and there are so many reasons not to do this. The MOST IMPORTANT reason is that if you within 3 miles of some hives (and most people are) if the bees find the sugar water theyāre going to think its a great source of easy food, go back to the hive and recruit more bees to come and collect the āfoodā and before you know it youāll have 1.000s and 1,000s of bees descending on your garden/balcony - a very scary sight. This is known as robbing and as beekeeper Iāve seen this a couple of times - once started it is impossible to stop until the source of the āfoodā has gone.
Other reasons not to do this are - sugar water is essentially ājunkā food for bees. Its full of carbohydrates which will give them an energy burst, but has no other nutritional value unlike the food they should be having i.e. nectar.
Honey bees will store this as honey in the hive. The beekeeper unknowingly may end up extracting and selling this as honey later in the year. You donāt want to buy sugar syrup and the beekeeper doesnāt want to be prosecuted for selling a product which isnāt honey.
This is also an easy food source for social wasps.
By all means give a tired bee a drink of sugar water on a spoon, but please donāt leave it out for them.
If you want to help bees there are lots of ways you can do this from planting nectar rich plants or leaving out bowls of water with gravel/small pebbles in so they can access the water which they would be very grateful for.
PLEASE SHARE THIS AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS
Edited - It appears that a lot of the advice I have seen about leaving out sugar water stems from advice from DAVID ATTENBOROUGH. He was absolutely right in his advice, but his advice was if you see a struggling bee to put some sugar water where the bee could reach it - not to leave out bowls of sugar water. Unfortunately it seems like, as usual, media publications have misquoted advice and not done their research
Also please donāt feed bees honey. Surprisingly they donāt eat honey - they eat nectar. Honey bees make honey for their own use during the winter months, but bumble bees collect and use nectar as and when they need it.
Feeding honey can spread disease between bees.
I TRIED TO EDIT BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS AND I FUCKED UP
DO YOU THINK ANYONE WILL NOTICE THAT THE VOCALS ARE NOT AS THEY SHOULD BE
casual reminder that you donāt need to try and sink all other ships in order to keep yours floating. this is not fucking battleship.

POLICE ARE USING TEARGAS AND WATER CANNONS AGAINST PEACEFUL, UNARMED PROTESTERS.
THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO US. IāM FUCKING ANGRY THAT I CAN ONLY SIT HERE AND UPDATE SHIT.
PLEASE REBLOG AND SIGNAL BOOST.
TBH maybe more people would rp with real humans instead of chatbots if we sat them down and taught everyone proper roleplay etiquette
