I'm a Detective

Do you ever think about how so much of the deadly anti-science rhetoric that fills America today and is killing countless vulnerable people can be directly traced back to one fucking guy who decided to just straight-up lie about vaccines causing autism because it would make him a profit? Do you ever think about that? Because I think about it a lot.

I go to get some fast food: they’re advertising a “high protein” meal that’s just like pieces of baked chicken in a cup. I walk into the gas station and go to grab some coffee: there’s coffee with “24 added grams” of protein on the shelf. I go grocery shopping; in the ice cream aisle, they’s “protein packed” cheesecakes. I worry by next week, carbs will have been replaced with a solid birdseed brick.

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

OK lads but. Why is the r slur coming back. It's 2026. Why am I hearing so many of The Youth use this word liberally and at whim. Do you need me to ground you. Do I need to sit you on the naughty step. Do you need me to strap you into the Learning Chair and deliver a 4 hour lecture about the history of the r slur, ableism, and why using that word is neither big nor cool. Or do you just need me to punch you in the mouth.

It's not coming back. It never left. The only difference is more self proclaimed neurodivergent people are trying to justify using it online because they are "reclaiming" it. Despite the fact that it was never theirs to reclaim to begin with.

That's not true. Many people have added comments to this post along the lines of 'lol it never left', and I understand the urge to be flippant, but I think it's actually very disingenuous to pretend that we're not seeing a vast increase in its usage. It may not have disappeared completely, but I, An Old, went a solid 15 years without hearing it even once, and now I see it fairly consistently online and have heard it used IRL on multiple occasions. At no point in these real life instances was it used in an (ill-advised) attempt at reclaiming it; it was a solid 'that thing is r------- and it sucks' derogatory context. I think we're burying our heads in the sand about the potentially troubling reasons for its resurgence when we pretend that this has been the case all along. It absolutely hasn't.

Ah, none focus with left beef, we meet again.

As per usual, as soon as I found some focus, my cat was like “hello time for kitty?🐱 “
