The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.

I love life because there will always be a situation you think you will never get over and you always do every time

Men are lonely because they're insufferable to be around. For one of the the first times in history. women don't need men for any material security.
While there is still social pressure, women are only seeking romantic relationships with men for the emotional enrichment those men would bring to their lives. We no longer need men, they are competing solely on the basis of their character, and they're failing. That is their fault. Not women's and not feminisms.

Each bee has four wings. So this veil took about 5,000 dead bees to make. A single healthy hive holds up to 60,000.

Luci Jockel is a jeweler out of Rhode Island School of Design who only uses bees that died of natural causes. She found beekeepers who’d lost their hives and made a deal: she’d put in physical labor helping them rebuild, and they’d give her the wings from the bees that didn’t survive. A Rhode Island beekeeper named Paul Whewell had lost everything to a harsh winter. She worked his hives, learned to keep bees from him, then started her own colonies with her dad. Other wings came from rooftop hives at the RISD Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the MAD Museum in Manhattan.

Each wing is about half the width of a dime. She glued them one at a time with archival glue, the kind museums use to preserve artwork, to create a material she calls “bee wing lace.” The pattern comes from Dutch lace collars she studied in 1600s portraits at the RISD Museum. Nine years of work. The finished piece is a mourning veil, made to grieve the bees it came from.

Jockel started building this in 2017. Back then, US beekeepers were already losing around 40% of their colonies every year. Last year it hit 55.6%, the worst since tracking began in 2010. Commercial operations lost 62%. In raw numbers: 1.6 million colonies gone in twelve months, with damage above $600 million in replacement costs and lost honey production alone.

Bees keep most of your food supply running. About 75% of US crop production depends on them. California’s almond harvest alone needs 1.4 million hives trucked in every spring, roughly 60% of all managed colonies in the country, for a crop worth $6 billion a year. Total annual value to American farming: $34 billion.

She needed 5,000 bees and nine years to build one veil. One in every three bites of food you eat depends on the ones still alive.

Destroy the idea that men should respect women because we are their daughters, mothers, and sisters.

Reinforce the idea that men should respect women because we are people.

The misandry debate, summarised

[shira @shiraeis]

the part they left out: these dogs were stolen for the dog meat trade in Jilin, China. Jilin province has 50+ slaughterhouses.

they escaped from a moving truck, formed a defensive formation around an injured german shepherd, and a corgi navigated them 17km home over 2 days.

they were all neighborhood dogs who played together every day. they all made it back.

China still has no national ban on dog meat, but Shenzhen banned it in 2020.

Seatbelts aren't designed for breasts.
Real blood wasn't used for period product testing until like 2023.
Female crash dummies weren't regularly used in crash tests until 2022.
Women are 30% more likely to die if her surgeon is a man.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women yet it takes 10 years to diagnose and there's more research done on male pattern baldness than endo.
And endo studies consist of how attractive endo patients are to males.

“Women are just as bad as men.”

Okay. Then show me men being gang-raped by women at scale. Show me adult women trafficking adult men for sexual exploitation. Show me laws written to control men’s bodies and reproductive autonomy. Show me sororities known for drugging and raping men.

Show me men living with the threat of gender-based acid attacks. Show me men being killed for rejecting women or for trying to leave relationships.

When those things start happening on a systemic level, then we can have a conversation about women being “just as bad as men.” Until then, stop pretending the scale of harm is the same.

something about a person who is absolutely unhinged in regular life but completely locked in when it comes to their career is so endearing to me.
