#how are you Alive

bugbraiin

One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.

I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

Get woke. Love bugs.

EDIT: this breached containment. My usual like count is like 5 😭 i want to clarify i mean people who conflate fear with hate are the ones who wont care about saving our planet, like people who threaten to kill peoples pet bugs or actively kill bugs outside for no apparent reason. Not people who run away from a bee.

#second angle of wokeness as a microbiology/public health guy is that even if you don't end up learning the Most abt entomology bugs help you #learn to a) pay mind to something considered below consideration and b) consider in a straightforward material sense: is this harmful?#the instinct to ignore and the instinct of disgust are terrible terrible things in my view and obv do not just apply to bugs #but you can train yourself to do better. and bugs are a very easy low stakes thing to do that with. i guess?#and to be clear i do not think being kind of scared of/running away from something means you are terrible or have 0 control of those #instincts lmao. i only mean that they're a cool thing to learn from if you want to do that #i am still happy to walk ahead of you and warn you of bugs you do not like

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

I do wish we could make it a little more socially acceptable to wander the streets at night weeping inconsolably I feel like that would have a great catharsis factor for a lot of people

sex is a distraction from your true purpose in life which is to go to the aquarium and look at the fish and go "wooooooaaah.... fishies". cmon guys we all need to lock in.

#emi thelordofshrimp is trying to propagandize me into doing something.

"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

#my principles.#i also have a new theory that this is some white people shit because i genuinely never heard of any of this until i met white gay people

you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves

#oh that's what happened that year. bro i wasn't on the internet i just started feeling like when people looked at me they saw something #other than human

White people love to call their mom a bitch it’s their culture

Will never forget being at some catholic event with my ex girlfriend and her mom was picking on me for literally hours and I could see she was getting fed up and was going to say something and I was waiting for her to defend me or something and to my absolute horror after hours of being antagonized she finally turned to her mom and said “you are such a fucking bitch”. And I felt like somebody just got shot in front of me and her mom didnt even react

#there are simply better things to say to your shitty mom #i kind of hate the word bitch so much. even for my shitty mom

I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written

okay this is an insane poll but for context: as a lot of people know, in fashion and styling, different people have different complimentary palettes. some people look better in cool tones, some people look better in warm tones, some in bright colors, some in pastels, etc etc. however, this also applies to metals, specifically gold vs silver. so,

do you know whether you "should" be wearing either silver or gold

yes, i know which looks best, and i stick with this

yes, i know which looks best, and i don't care

no, i don't know

i very much want to clarify before people get mad at me: i am not saying this is a thing that matters genuinely literally at all ever. i just am curious if most people care or are even aware of this.

#ya prev i just like the way gold colors look on me but i also wear a lot of my grandpa's stuff and that's all silvery so i'm not picky
