Welcome to the Lost & Found™!

I took my second ADHD pill a little too late I guess because it was suddenly 4 am and I made this thing about why parasitic organisms are shaped like ways and how to consider that for your fiction settings. Raw text version below the cut for people with busted seeing:

I mean how can I not add a parasite to this

Pathogen assigned: Nanophyetus salmincola

Cause of nanophyetiasis, type of trematode flatworm

Spread via: Ingestion of infected fish

I hate it when you take a disappointing sip of water, like bitch you’re supposed to be cool and refreshing, not like mild boring sludge harvested from purgatory by disappointment itself

Bold words, but none of my posts have ever gotten more than 300 notes

I feel confident in saying that’s never gonna happen

Pathogen assigned: Giardia duodenalis

Cause of giardiasis, type of anaerobic protist

(Image from Wikipedia page)

Spread via: contaminated water

now I could be wrong, but I believe that this tank could have a japanese giant spider crab in it

Pathogen assigned: Necator americanus

Cause of necatoriasis, type of nematode

(Image from Wikipedia page)

Spread via: Penetration of human skin

I don't think this works on japanese giant spider crabs

Y'all have got to stop virulently hating men. Like, I'm sorry, I fucking hate the patriarchy too, but the patriarchy isn't just men and saying it is just exculpates complicit women. I am the mother of a young boy, and I look at this precious, empathetic 8 year old boy I'm raising and I don't know where online is safe for him. Places like this will say he's evil just for his gender, and other places will say "we'll be your friend if you hate with us," and still others will radicalize him in other ways. Where is he supposed to go? Why are we saying the radicalization is the fault of the kids just trying to find a place to hang?

Like this is seriously getting urgent. You have got to fucking stop conflating the patriarchy and men. 53% percent of white women voted for Trump. Men aren't the problem. White supremacy and Christian patriarchal structures are two examples of patriarchy-reinforcing structures that aren't solely couched in maleness. Men aren't the problem, and pretending they are drives more men into more welcoming extremist spaces and also ignores all the parts of this that are forwarded by people who aren't men.

What I see happening all over is scared, depressed, lonely people looking for someone they're allowed to hate automatically, unquestioningly - someone they're allowed to place all the blame on. Fascism says people of color, non-Christian people, queer people, etc., are the ones they're allowed to hate.

And way too many of yall answer that no, it's leftist to hate men instead. You are doing *the exact same thing they are.*

Fucking knock it off.

The answer is we're not supposed to hate anyone automatically based on their immutable personal characteristics. Hate the specific people who've hurt you. Hate the self-reinforcing systems that let them get away with hurting you. Hate the strangers who prop up those systems. Hate the fascists. Hell knows I hate Donald Trump, but it's not because he's a man, it's because he's a piece of shit.

Hate the pieces of shit, not the gender.

But don't hate men just because they're men. That's unhelpful, stupid, insane, and entirely counterproductive. Fucking. Stop.

preach it sister

happy men who meow monday

muaww mauww <3
