    Brains, Girls, and Lazy: icecream-eaterrr
 I just heard this woman say "you procrastinate
 because you are afraid of rejection. It's a
 defense mechanism, you are trying to protect
 yourself without even trying." and I think I just
 realized what was wrong with me
 eupheme-butterfly
 Yep, this is a very, very common reason for
 procrastinating. It's also why procrastination,
 even though it's often associated with
 laziness, is a fairly common trait in a lot of
 people with anxiety and perfectionism issues
 dsudis
 This idea You're not lazy, you're protecting
 yourself- hit me really hard while reading, of
 all things, Emily Nagoski's Come As You Are,
 which turns out to be as much about how
 brains work and how relationships work as
 how orgasms work.
 In an early part of the book she talks about
 Fight/Flight/Freeze responses to threats-the
 example she uses is being attacked by a lion
 You fight, if you think you can defeat the lion;
 you run away, if you think you can escape the
 lion; and when you think there's nothing you
 can do, when you feel the lion's jaws closing
 on your neck, you freeze, because dying will
 hurt less that way. You just stop and go numb
 and wait for it to be over, because that is the
 last way to protect any scrap of yourself
 Later in the book, she talks about the brain
 process that motivates you to pursue
 incentives, describing it as a little monitor
 that gauges your progress toward a goal
 versus the effort you're expending. If it feels
 like too little progress is being made you get
 frustrated, get angry, and, eventually, you..
 despair. You stop trying
 You go numb and wait for it to be over,
 because that's the only way left to protect
 yourself.
 So it occurred to me that these are basically
 the same thing-when facing a difficult task,
 where failure feels like a Threat, you can get
 frustrated and fight it out-INCREASE DOING
 THE THING until you get where you're going
 Or you can flee-try to solve the problem some
 other way than straight on, changing your
 goal, changing your approach, whatever. Fight
 or flight
 But both of those only apply when you think
 the problem is solvable, right? If the problem
 isn't solvable, then you freeze. You despair
 And if you're one of those Smart Kids (Smart
 Girls, especially) who was praised for being
 smart so that all tasks in the world came to
 be divided between Ooh This Is Easy and I
 DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THAT AND IF I
 FUCK UP I WILL DIE, then... it's pretty easy
 to see how you lose the frustration/anger
 stage of working toward a goal, because your
 brain goes straight to freeze/despair every
 time. Things are easy and routine or they are
 straight up impossible
 So, you know, any time you manage to pull
 yourself up and give that lion a smack on the
 nose, or go stumbling away from it instead of
 just falling down like a fainting goat as soon
 as you spot it on the horizon, give yourself
 a gold star from me. Because this is some
 deeply wired survival-brain stuff. Even if
 logically you know that that term paper is not
 a lion, it really is like that sometimes

    Being Alone, Bunnies, and Struggle: chubby-bunnies

 Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the
 quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is
 killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the
 nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave.
 You want to help the environment? Go back to honey.
 Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is
 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

 Beekeeper here! Just wanted to say that the fact
 that vegans won't eat honey is very silly. Harvesting
 honey does not hurt bees. The invention of modern
 moveable-frame hives means we can remove a
 selected frame, extract the honey and return it
 without killing a single bee.
 If we destroyed the colony to harvest honey there
 would be no bees for next year, and beekeepers are
 incredibly careful to keep their bees healthy and
 thriving. We take *excess* honey that they don't need
 and it stops the hive from becoming honey-bound,
 meaning that there's so much honey the Queen has
 nowhere to lay eggs. And if the winter is harsher than
 expected and the remaining honey store runs low, we
 feed the bees plenty to make sure they survive. We
 also make sure that pests are controlled, bees are
 treated for disease, and the hive is weatherproof and
 in good repair, all things that wild bees struggle with.
 Keeping bees in properly managed hives where they
 don't starve or die from preventable disease is much
 better for them than being left to fend for themselves,
 and they're far too important to be left alone.
 All the fruits and vegetables that vegans *do*
 eat couldn't exist without bees, and the hives
 which pollinate those crops also produce excess
 honey which the beekeepers can sell to help keep
 themselves and their hives going.
 TLDR: BUY THE HONEY, HELP THE BEES.
