Is it wrong that I don’t like mosquitos?

There are people who like mosquitoes?

Fun Fact: Mosquitos kill more people than any other creature on earth due to the diseases they carry (some of which could theoretically cease to exist without the mosquito as a carrier).  They serve no purpose that isn’t adequately fulfilled by other insects, and the world would legitimately be better off without them.

Don’t listen to tenaflyfuckingvip*r. Mosquito larvae are the number one food source for a bunch of species that would go extinct without them. No animal is unnecessary

Sounds like something a mosquito would say.

Good thing science says otherwise.

Looks like @lightningclone is a mosquito agent provocateur!

Like…I totally understand if they’re legitimately concerned about the environment, but the world would genuinely be better off without–at the very least–the species of mosquitoes that transmit disease.  From the article linked above:

“Malaria infects some 247 million people worldwide each year, and kills
nearly one million. Mosquitoes cause a huge further medical and
financial burden by spreading yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese
encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, Chikungunya virus and West Nile virus.
Then there’s the pest factor: they form swarms thick enough to
asphyxiate caribou in Alaska.”

“Yet in many cases, scientists acknowledge that the ecological scar left
by a missing mosquito would heal quickly as the niche was filled by
other organisms. Life would continue as before — or even better.”

Even koalas serve a purpose by making millions per year for the Australian tourism industry by being cute and fluffy, despite being massive evolutionary mistakes.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

• Article 13 just got passed.

1. Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

Keep reading

I don’t live in Europe but this needs to be spread

I’m spreading this because this is greatly unsettling to me. I live in europe and really can’t imagine how the future would look like.

I don’t live in Europe but I signed the petition and am signal boosting for all my EU pals. Call your MEPs!

I live in Europe and this is disturbing!

My neighbor was out taking the insulation cones off of his roses and carefully pruning them today. 

I also went out and pruned mine. (I didn’t give them any special winter insulation. They’re on their own.) And by ‘pruned’ I mean ‘whacked back the bramble hedge with a machete where it was threatening to grow out of bounds’. 

(Seriously my rose hedge is approaching 4 feet tall and almost as thick)

And he was giving me dirty looks the whole time because it pisses him off so much that I pay no special attention to my roses and yet they always do better than his. 

I still haven’t told him that my secret is ‘plant tough-as-nails own root old fashioned rugosa cultivars rather than finicky hybrid teas’ because honestly his quiet frustration is hilarious. 

a few centuries ago he probably would have accused u of witchcraft 😉

I mean…to be fair…he would be totally correct in that…

Also my rose hedge is now 6 feet tall and his Mister Lincoln rose, which he carefully mulched and put a insulation cone on, died this year. 

was it assassinated
