@the0nlygirl When people say petite frame they mean height and torso length proportions. Nothing is made for women under 5’2. Everything is made for skinny women of average or tall height. I need people to stop equating petite with just skinny
California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.
One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.
But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.
Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.
The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.
The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.
Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.
Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.
Honestly pretty annoyed at the amount of losers hating on Doechii since she won her Grammy. That shit was so well deserved she’s one of the most talented artists in the game rn and if you disagree you’re def not listening to her discography and prob only heard one song
I’m always genuinely surprised that there’s people out there dumb enough to think that climate change isn’t real….but then those are the same people who don’t believe in vaccinating their kids, out here getting polio and measles lmfao
"Shōgun" star Anna Sawai gets emotional as she accepts her #Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series. She is the first Asian winner in category history. https://t.co/3itGkRBc7U
Men were so used to being needed in the past. Now that women don’t need men for anything, men still haven’t learned how to make themselves desirable. On top of that a lot of men genuinely don’t like women
when you are a retired party girl you still have some of that party girl in you. Like no I do not go out 3xs a week anymore but when I make that special appearance the feral rat awakens like an ancient beast
