always an ace up my sleeve She/He/They/♾️

Really, what is there to say about me? We are one of the last bastions of that famed lost Gen-X, trapped between the sayers and the nayers. When people see me acting strangely and ask what I’m on, the correct answer is the spectrum but the down to Earth answer is my brand of bizarre unpredictable bullshit. Indigenous two spirit and part time bog witch spending time in the woods and screaming in solidarity with the cicadas. Currently pursuing a degree in biology and chemistry because using my degree in electronics engineering to help cats take over the world is frowned upon even if it’s a noble cause. Autism and Trauma advocate. Married to the most amazing woman and absolute love of my life.

What a privilege it is to get old.

What a privilege it is to show signs of aging.

What a privilege it is to not have passed at a young age.

What a privilege it is to have smile lines, wrinkles, graying hair, healing scars, and other signs your body has lived for years.

What a privilege it is to get old.

it seems like the key theme of fungus is that they eat everything including things otherwise impossible to eat, they get everywhere with their tiny spores, and they grow and be happy wherever it is wet by eating the surroundings. So if get inside your body (wet) they eat you. so your two main options for being a multicellular organism are developing an immune system (most animals) or hiring other fungus to beat the shit out of the fungus that gets inside your body (most plants)

[headspace-hotel]

there were times in my life when fungus tried to eat me. they try to eat most of us sometimes

[headspace-hotel]

yea plants do have an immune system but they also regularly merge with fungi into superorganisms so it's very different. they have complicated signalling to determine who is friend and who is enemy. meanwhile mammals are over here like "KILL EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T US!!! Fungus? Kill. Bacteria? Kill. Myself? Huh, come to think of it, my intestinal lining is looking at me funny. I never liked him." *develops autoimmune disorder*

[headspace-hotel]

being an animal is so cringe. cant merge with fungus into superorganism, can't reproduce vegetatively, can't photosynthesize...what are we even doing

[gallusrostromegalus]

We (animals collectively but mammals in particular) are out here tolerating outrageous climatological conditions to experience the world in time frames and spectra that plants and fungi can only dream of.
