I did the deed!

I know that’s a strange anon to send, but I sent you a bunch back in 2020 when you wrote Waking Druantia. That story really made me feel less embarrassed about what I was going through and kind of kicked me in the pants to start trying to deal with it. I found a blog group, found a cool doctor, and started treatment. This past weekend my man and I finally managed to go all the way. Maybe it’s weird but I felt like I needed to tell you all this because sometimes fic isn’t just a story.

thank you.

Anon, this is not at all weird. In fact, this is the best anon I’ve ever received. I’m so happy for you and proud of you and you deserve all the good things. Congrats on your journey, friend. 🥰

Magnus fandom, 2016: We're horny for this lady made of worms!

Me: Huh. Unexpected, I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Magnus fandom, 2024: We're horny for this guy made of needles!

Me: Of course you are, my children. Be free.

Magnus fandom 2024: We're horny for this bulbous oozing clown man!

Me: I think 95% of your are being facetious, but the true 5% can go with god.

Magnus fandom, just now: We're horny for a member of the British Aristocracy!

Me: Gross. No. Absolutely not. Sick freaks the lot of you. I am officially kinkshaming. You disgust me.

SCOTUS is slowly but surely reshaping the presidency into the dictatorship/kleptocracy that americans have hallucinated and (frankly) manifested for YEARS. like if y'all thought the government was corrupt already, OH HONEY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S COMING

The Bronx Zoo has just released Flaco's necropsy results.

He was not thriving, as the people championing the ideal of "freedom" claimed.

He was poisoned.

He was sick.

He was suffering.

"Freedom" would have eventually killed him. A building just happened to do it first.

"Postmortem testing has been completed for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that was found down in the courtyard of a Manhattan building a little over a year after his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo was vandalized on February 2, 2023. Onlookers reported that Flaco had flown into a building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on February 23, 2024, and acute trauma was found at necropsy. Bronx Zoo veterinary pathologists determined that in addition to the traumatic injuries, Flaco had two significant underlying conditions. He had a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons that had become part of his diet, and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides that are commonly used for rat control in New York City. These factors would have been debilitating and ultimately fatal, even without a traumatic injury, and may have predisposed him to flying into or falling from the building. The identified herpesvirus can be carried by healthy pigeons but may cause fatal disease in birds of prey including owls infected by eating pigeons. This virus has been previously found in New York City pigeons and owls. In Flaco’s case, the viral infection caused severe tissue damage and inflammation in many organs, including the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and brain.   No other contributing factors were identified through the extensive testing that was performed. Flaco’s severe illness and death are ultimately attributed to a combination of factors—infectious disease, toxin exposures, and traumatic injuries—that underscore the hazards faced by wild birds, especially in an urban setting."

The naturalistic fallacy kills animals in horrible ways. The romanticism of what humans want to think of as a "free, wild, pure life" cannot be allowed supplant the reality of injury, sickness, and death. Releasing captive animals (or keeping them from being recaptured) because it's "better" for them to suffer untethered than live a healthy, safe, captive life is inhumane and horrific.

Flaco's life didn't have to end in pain, sickness, and suffering.

Flaco's death didn't have to be tragic.

But once the idea of "freedom" entered the chat, Flaco's fate was unavoidable.

For anyone that's at all interested, I genuinely do think that watching James Somerton's new video is a good idea. Obviously use adblocker or find a reupload. But it's a really good one to practice spotting manipulative statements and tactics, which is an important skill to develop.

Watch Hbomb's and Todd's video, then his. What is he lying about? What is he misrepresenting? What is he avoiding to mention?

And if you feel yourself being convinced by his words, why is that? Is there a type of manipulation you might be vulnerable to? (We all are vulnerable to something, and knowing this is useful and important)

I know I used to be kinda scared to watch things by "bad people" or things I knew I'd disagree with, because I was afraid it would confuse me and convince me. But you cannot avoid this by only carefully controlling what you're exposed to, because eventually something, some propaganda, will absolutely get to you. You have to work on your skill to analyse things and think critically about them, on your own, and find your own conclusions.
