Witty & Wise Ties, Trivia & Lies
Voting is so fundamental to the health of our representative democracy that it should be easily accessible for all eligible voters. We shouldn’t encourage only certain kinds of citizens to vote, while making voting a hardship for other citizens who are usually already under-represented in public life. The higher the percentage of eligible voters who vote, the more protected every American’s rights will be. 🇺🇸 End of civics lecture.
Bees Tie o’ the Day is a fitting accessory to my new honeycomb Shirt o’ the Day. I grew up playing around bees. The fact that in my late teens I developed an allergy to bee stings did not diminish my admiration for the buzzing insects that paid my family’s bills, nor did my allergy quell my taste for occasionally grabbing a frame of comb from a hive and barehandedly pulling out a chunk of the honey-filled wax to gnaw on. I still maintain that honey-filled comb straight out of the hive is the most succulent honey you can possibly eat. However, I do not recommend that you simply go find a beehive and stick your hand in to get a taste. No, that’s a recipe for a thousand bee stings to the body of any untrained honey thief. If you decide to try it anyway, please let me know the “where” and the “when” you’ll be attempting the daring feat, because I would love to be there to watch when you end up screaming like a toddler as you run crazily from an angry cloud of bees you will not be able to shake. I will, of course, kindly call the ambulance for you as I watch you spasm with each new sting, in your failed honey thievery. 🐝
