exclusionary politics of all forms ultimately boil down to performative activism and making everything u dislike or don’t understand problematic so u can keep ur woke points bc keeping up the facade that you are Not and Never Have Been problematic is more important that the actual impact you have on others and the world, not actually trying to change things or provide resources or support or educating yourself and being able to admit you’re wrong or Grow as a human being.
i’m bipolar and i had my self esteem beaten the fuck down from the time i was Born. i understand how difficult dealing with criticism can be and how shameful being wrong can be sometimes. HOWEVER if you can not place those feelings above the well being of others, it’s no longer a not being able to take criticism problem. it’s you being selfish and that is wrong.
i go absolutely ape shit buck wild when people ask me if i want to run errands with them like Let’s Fucking Go. and my mind absolutely maxes out of dopamine when they ask if i wanna stop for coffee. and if someone took me to the park id go bonkers in funcking yonkers
i got so high last night that i started ghostwriting for a golden retriever apparently
apparently vegemite toasties fried in butter are way above something called my “recommended daily salt intake”? and who exactly should i see about raising that limit?
probably our most toxic thing besides snakes and other sea creatures like the blue ring octopus, but from what i can tell they’re a more common thing to get stung by.
they’re a relative of the pufferfish. search what they look like. they just look like a bumpy rock with a grumpy face. hence the name. apparently they’re even decently camouflaged lying on the beach, and they can go all day out of the water. so they’re impossible to spot underwater unless it’s very clear, and you know what to look for.
they have “13 sharp strong dorsal fin spines“, and just lie in wait. i assume it catches prey like this but it’s also perfectly adapted to going right up into a human foot. i’ve never been to a beach where they’re common but i was still warned about them in school. from the queensland museum website “The pain is immediate, excruciating and may last for many days. Muscular
paralysis, breathing difficulties, shock, and sometimes heart failure
and death can ensue”. it needs immediate hospitalisation (although, apparently, wikipedia says hot water at 45 degrees can neutralise the venom, but still go to hospital holy shit don’t rely on wikipedia for your antivenom needs)
so like, you’ll usually live, but you’ll definitely be on crutches for a few months because it just fucks up the muscles in your foot. but the pain. i’m 100% every website is understating how much it hurts, because everyone i talk to whose seen someone after being stung by a stonefish will still wince when they talk about it.
