i like how at five guys they're like oh you want one burger okay "ONE LITTLE BURGER" and then the guy cooking the burger is like "ONE LITTLE BURGER FOR BABY FAGGOTS THAT CAN ONLY HANDLE ONE PATTY COMING UP" and then if you can't finish it they make you wear a maid costume and handcuff you to the sink in the men's bathroom

‘carnist’ is the name for someone who consumes corpse and other animal products. Such as “chili con carne” or “carnivore.”

You were perhaps thinking of “carnie”

Can’t wait for, like, 2025 when we look back on the 2018/2019 era and say “hey, remember when we were all really freaking depressed? That was a crazy time! Glad we aren’t like that anymore”

I think that there's a very meaningful criticism to be made wrt body horror and how it often can handle disability or disfigurement in an extremely reactionary and prejudiced fashion but I feel like you've lost the plot if you can sincerely say shit like "cancer isn't body horror" like I dont know I think its pretty scary to have cancer. I dont feel like we need to defend the role of cancer as a natural process of the body. Like that's not comparable to people acting like a cleft lip or a guy in a wheelchair are spooky. Pregnancy is pretty scary too like even before the question of forced birth and other such social violence surrounding it are involved. I think you're sort of dancing around the fact that the human body does frightening things to us all the time and the question of what is "natural" should in of itself be actively questioned because sometimes "natural" things are... bad!

OP is basically saying that nothing natural is "horror", and as a person disabled by nature who in addition has a very natural facial deformity, i'm gonna disagree. the human body experiences lots of things that fall under "body horror" for me, and it's not ableist to say that sometimes disability looks (and is.) scary, and painful, and bad.

our innate feelings of Ick around a person whose body looks frightening is something to work on and hopefully move past, because humans deserve human kindness, and to be involved in community, no matter how they look or sound or smell or act out.

but nature can be a nasty, violent fucker, too. the one doesn't negate the other

#pregnancy is the ultimate body horror lmao #your body is no longer your own and it will cannibalize you for another if you don't have surplus nutrients to give

A gay pigeon story: my grandfather kept pigeons, and though he maybe didn't know the proper vernacular, he was always an ally to the gay rights movement. When his nephew's boyfriend died of AIDS in the '80s, my grandfather was the only one at the family reunion to actually console him and talk with him about it. Not even his own father gave him the dignity of acknowledging his grief.

The reason I want to make it so clear that he was a friend to the community is because it makes this story funny instead of mean. He kept meticulous records of his pigeons, noting where each one was and who they were with and whose chicks were whose. It was not always the case that the chicks in a certain nestbox were the offspring of the parents in there. Sometimes, a mother hen would push a chick out because it was overburdened, or maybe a cock would push a chick out because wanted it dead (pigeons, like humans, can be monstrous assholes for seemingly no reason).

It is for this reason that it is very advantageous to have something rare like a gay couple in the loft. Pigeons are unique in that they make "milk" for their chicks, and cocks can do this as well as hens. So, because a gay couple can feed their young but never actually bear young, they are often the recipient of orphaned chicks.

All of that is to say this - when my grandfather passed away, my mom took over the pigeon business, as she had been helping him for years. And looking through his records, it was all very standard, very plain, well-documented minutiae about the birds and their pedigrees, save for one spot that looked something like this:
