pyomorphic:

it’s racist to criticize other cultures for consuming an animal that white people arbitrarily decided shouldn’t be eaten. asserting that white culture and white norms are superior to those of poc is white supremacy.

jamesvflint:

anyway animal rights activism will be inherently disingenuous and indeed actively harmful unless y’all recognize that 1) not every country has industrialized the consumption of meat to the extent that the west has 2) you absolutely need to prioritize human beings over animals given that basic humanity isn’t even afforded to a large fucking portion of the human population 3) your experiences are not universal and humans have been living off the land sustainably for literal millenia 4) capitalism is your enemy not poor people & people of color 5) stop fucking making slavery/holocaust anaologies. those are actual human beings. thanks

Please help an LGBT entomologist finish their Master of Research degree!

I’m Faelan, a 22-year old transgender and gay neruoethologist and entomologist trying to finish my last thesis year of my Master of Research degree in Sydney, Australia. 

My thesis involves subjecting honeybees to intelligence tests using conflicting information. You can read more about it here.

Due to government cuts to university funding and science I did not receive a scholarship this year which means I am currently without an income! I have to pay for my hormones (which thanks to a global shortage are more expensive), food, rent, and bills. 

Please if you have any spare money consider supporting an LGBT scientist
