Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

🔸 habitat loss
🔸 climate change
🔸 excessive use of pesticides

Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

We need to keep our bees busy and well!

Hah, cool meme! Let's not forget that you're on the Fediverse, though, not just Mastodon. (It's like saying "Send me a hotmail!")

You may even want to look up and possibly adopt the @FediverseSymbol

@kinetix @EUCommission @FediverseSymbol

i think of mastodon and the fediverse as interchangeable terms. i know there are other softwares, but it's not a big deal, it's just a common terminology to say "mastodon" and refer to the fediverse

@benroyce @kinetix @EUCommission @FediverseSymbol

That's probably the best social media post the Commission has ever posted.

🇪🇺 They can rest now. 👍

(as usual some users -- what I shan't name - lack a sense of humour)

@miguelpergamon @kinetix @EUCommission @FediverseSymbol

it's not just some users

there seems to be an entire anti-fanbase of losers who glom onto every post from EUCommission and just haul ass and machine gun the most ultranegative bile

all. the. fucking. time.

it's beyond pathetic. these people have serious fucking issues. what kind of massive losers are these people?

i thought the USA and toxic MAGA shit was bad. jesus fucking christ it's embarrassing

@benroyce @miguelpergamon @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

It's all part of the right wing discourse about the EU: that it is corrupted and ultra woke. See: Brexit.

There are plenty of things to criticize about the EU but, compared to the nonsense coming out of the US, it seems to be working moderately well.

@ParadeGrotesque @miguelpergamon @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

and the dimwit endless endless bile trolls, having destroyed the USA, have moved onto trying to destroy the EU

@benroyce @miguelpergamon @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

I think they will find it a bit harder to attack the EU.

Brexit was a wake up call for a lot of people. With Orban out in Hungary and PiS out in Poland, the EU is slowly recovering.

@ParadeGrotesque @miguelpergamon @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

god damn i hope so

from this depressed American:

"Help me Obi wan Europi. You’re my only hope."

@benroyce @miguelpergamon @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

Most likely, the answer to that request would be something like:

"Thank you for calling the EU emergency hotline. Unfortunately, all our operators are occupied at this time..."

@ParadeGrotesque @benroyce @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

I don't know if you know the local details of UK politics but there's a June 18th election in a ReformUK/Brexit friendly parliamentary seat which is to be contested by former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham as part of a particularly convulted scheme to eventually replace Keir Starmer.
The UK never does anything in a rational way. British history is mainly public relations, murder and theft.

@miguelpergamon @benroyce @kinetix @FediverseSymbol

Yes, and Andy Burnham also promised never to make the UK return to the EU.

Because that particular seat is very much pro Brexit, despite all the evidence to the contrary (meaning: that it has been a disaster for the UK).

I hope one day we will have the truth about who financed who during Brexit, but I suspect I'll pass away before the documents are declassified.
