Absolute Freak For The Creek

the implication of saying hi

Saying hi ending explained

I miss my leeches for all the normal pet reasons but I also miss being able to use them as a one-hit death blow to end stupid conversations. Whenever I defend the ecological importance of parasites someone will inevitably crawl up and go “well I bet you wouldn’t feel that way if you had them” and oooooo boy let me tell you. It was so fun to hit back with “I DO” and then whip out my phone and show them 30 pictures of my fucking Worms

earlier i saw someone on here say "god forbid men do anything" as though society holds men to any kind of standards at all

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

"old people are usually bigoted" isn't necessarily true, I know some old people who aren’t, but I think a lot of folks forget that *most poor and working class people die younger* and if someone is 70+ there is a higher chance that they're independantly wealthy and, you know, since we live in *this motherfucking system* there's a higher chance that they're white, cis, straight and very comfortable in their privileges. "old people are usually bigoted" is not true but "the people with the most privilege usually live longer" is.

This is also what's behind "you get more conservative as you get older".
