Don’t let hippos sniff mopeds
Or a deer chew your bike
Hide big wheels from gators
They know what they like
Geese love to rub rowboats
Ducks will tickle your van
Rabbits snuggle with tractors
Whenever they can
Squirrels smooch skateboards
If a door’s left ajar
And whatever you do

We blew up an elementary school full of little Muslim girls and 99% of the government and media can barely even pretend to care. Some of y'all might want to address the fact that Islamophobia is so endemic to our society that Muslims aren't considered people before worrying about antisemitism

What if both Islamophobia and antisemitism were bad?

Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign??

Like, I get all of these aren’t super common, but surely everyone should have Zaatar and Sumac??

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

I reminded her of my imaginary cat, the only imaginary animal I named, and she said it always fascinated her I never named any toy cats the same name, because a toy was different to me than my imaginary pet who I believed to be fully real

Reminded mum of this earlier and she was laughing so hard, then reminded me of how I didn’t ever lie about things, but wholeheartedly believed my imaginary animals etc were real, to the point where teachers were concerned because I told them I had to feed the farm animals before school

I need to get more details from mum now that I’ve remembered this and have a new perspective on why it happened, but I’m pretty sure they had to teach me a longer β€œphone script” - β€œcan I ask who’s calling” β€œI’ll go and get them for you” etc

I don’t think my parents realised this was happening until dad’s bosses told him about it. I’d been doing this whenever I intercepted the phone ringing without my parents being aware of it. Friends and family had found it cute and just given it 5mins then called again to hopefully reach my parentsπŸ˜‚

My parents had taught me how to answer the phone. Dad’s sergeant or whoever would phone, and I’d hear the phone ring and go answer, sometimes with my parents not realising.

β€œHello?”
β€œOh hello Franky, is your dad in?”
β€œYes.”

And then, having answered the man on the phone’s question, I’d hang up 😌

So after a deep conversation about autism yesterday I’ve been trying to think of early examples of where I’d not understood social cues. And I remembered a brilliant one.

So my dad was police (acab) and when I was very young, he would get called out on urgent jobs via our landline.

no left wing voters voted for a left wing party.

the only left wing party on the ballot.

im confused by this line that jus bcos ppl didn't vote for labour they must be voting against them... as tho there are no other factors at play.

greens won with 40% of the vote. that's not a protest vote.

You can just stomp around the house like a kaiju and nobody can stop you. Treat yo’self.

Continue to be baffled by undergrads. Maybe 1/3 doing the low level of work expected of them, 1/3 not knowing how to do something like draw a basic graph and giving up instead of asking for help and the final 1/3 not even bothering at all and just sat on their phones even when lecturer walks round

I have problems with a lot of Green policies, as I do with all parties, but a "pro drugs and porn" party that wants "a world without borders" and provides housing, employment, and healthcare for immigrants sounds pretty fucking great to me.
