If only we could love each other.

I grew up in Australia so I was raised to be very cautious of insects, but i see your love of bugs and i cant help but smile. Its actually helped me be a little bit more on ease around bugs nowadays. (No longer in Australia)

According to Sting of the Wild, the writer spent his whole career getting stung by insects of the North American southwest including the tarantula hawks and velvet ants, and went on to feel the pain of the infamous bullet ant of central/south America.

Apparently the most painful sting in Australia belongs to the bull ant, and it was a pretty anticlimactic experience, about as or slightly less painful than a honeybee's sting.

This is the same poetic Schmidt behind the Schmidt sting scale, which was going around a minute ago for its colorful description of stinging sensations, ranging from "almost pleasant, a lover just bit your earlobe a little too hard" (grade 1, a sweat bee), to "Torture. You are chained in the flow of an active volcano. Why did I start this list?" (grade 4, the tarantula hawk)

Fun book! Not far in but definitely living up to expectations. A couple chapters in he wonders why birds eat honeybee drones but not worker honeybees, so he eats a raw honeybee, and concludes it's because worker bees taste bad.

The main reason I’m pushing for people to stop using the term ‘pedophile’ and instead use the term ‘child sexual abusers’, is because since all discussions of child sexual abuse focus on this idea of an evil person who is just out to get kids because they are sexual attracted to them, it makes it hard for kids who where sexually assaulted by people who don’t fit that description to realize they were sexually assaulted.

It didn’t register for me until recently that my experiences of being forced to strip naked multiple times at the mental hospital to be ‘checked’ when I was 14 was sexual assault, because the people who did it were nurses/doctors who clearly didn’t find me sexually attractive but instead used it as a form of humiliation and control towards children they deemed as ‘unruly’ and ‘uncooperative’ (ie. children who asked to be treated like people). I thought only people who fit into this idea of a child attracted pedo could be child sexual abusers, so I thought my experience didn’t count.

Stepping away from the idea that there is a pedophile boggieman and instead highlighting that anyone can be a child sexual abuser will help more people realize that their experiences are sexual assault.

my stepfather would openly sexually harass me and my siblings at dinner while also loving the fantasy of killing pedophiles. whether he personally found our abuse sexually gratifying was frankly irrelevant to whether it traumatized us. whether he would be considered a pedophile or not doesn't change that he committed sexual abuse of children

I think in his mind there was a type of horrible person out there who does horrible things, and because he didn't think of himself as fitting that category, his actions could not be judged

my dad regularly groped and physical abused me throughout my childhood and yet he hated pedophiles and rapists and was also full of these fantasies of brutally killing them in the name of protecting children. when I was 15, he told me that if I ever sexually assaulted a woman, he would hire gang members to beat me to death.

they love the idea of killing child abusers, while not realizing that they themselves are child abusers
