Earlier this week, I was on the phone with my mom and I asked her if she was gonna wish her queer child a happy pride and she abruptly said no before moving on. I try not to let it bother me but it does hurt after it’s been so long
I came out to my parents in 2020 and my mom immediately burst into tears and my dad couldn’t understand. Upset, I went for a long walk and my brother who was mediating found me and encouraged me to come back. My mom told me she was crying because she was scared for my safety…
That the world was gonna be a lot harder for me because I was queer, not out of homophobia. My dad was just quiet. It’s been six years since then and they just pretend my queerness doesnt exist, that it’s not a part of who I am. And any mention of it makes them change the subject
Academics and elites have spent 13 years trying to figure out how to give you a meat allergy. That tells you everything about the gap between the people writing policy papers and the people eating dinner.
Matthew Liao, an NYU bioethics professor, published “Human Engineering and Climate Change” in 2012. The paper proposed four modifications to humans: shrink people through embryo selection so they consume fewer resources, drug populations with oxytocin to increase environmental compliance, give humans cat-like night vision to reduce lighting needs, and induce meat allergies through immune system manipulation. His justification, captured in this clip from a 2016 World Science Festival panel: “People are not willing to give up meat. They have a weakness of will.”
Bill McKibben called it one of the worst climate solutions of all time. Most people laughed it off.
Nobody in the institutions laughed.
The WEF added Liao’s paper to their 2021 Davos bioengineering framework alongside their “Planetary Health Diet” initiative, which calls for cutting global meat and dairy consumption by up to 90%. They’ve published four white paper series since 2019 on replacing animal protein with insects, lab-grown tissue, and plant substitutes. Liao’s human engineering paper slotted right into the stack.
Then in July 2025, two Western Michigan University professors published “Beneficial Bloodsucking” in the journal Bioethics. Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth argued that spreading alpha-gal syndrome via lone star ticks is “strongly pro tanto morally obligatory.” The tick makes you allergic to red meat. Eating red meat is immoral. Therefore spreading the tick is a moral duty. They proposed CRISPR-engineering ticks for wider deployment.
Crutchfield’s track record tells you this isn’t a thought experiment. His 2019 paper argued moral bioenhancement should be “compulsory and covert.” You don’t get to know you’re being modified. You don’t get to opt out.
The pipeline: academic paper in 2012, TED talk in 2013, WEF framework in 2021, peer-reviewed “moral obligation” in 2025. Each one cites the last. Each moves from “what if” to “we should” to “we must.” The CDC reports 110,000+ suspected alpha-gal cases in the US between 2010 and 2022, with the lone star tick’s range expanding annually.
They spent a decade trying persuasion and the public said no. The 4M views on this clip tell you people can feel what the next play looks like.
Death is not a suitable enough punishment, I need their atoms systemically erased from existence and for their soul to be banned from the cycle of Saṃsāra
The fact that Elon Musk emailed to ask Jeffrey Epstein to join his island proves that his crimes were much more known by the Billionaire capitalist class than people are willing to admit
This means at some point someone in Elon’s social circle told him about it. Who learned about it from someone else. Epstein trafficking girls was known among the entire Billionaire Capitalist elite and they either wanted in on it or they simply didn’t care
We need revolution to get rid of the entire capitalist establishment. It’s all rotten to its core
I went from begging Democrats not to fund the IDF as they shot a 6 year old to death waiting in a car for an ambulance in Gaza to begging Dems not to fund ICE as they teargassed a 5 year old in a car in Minnesota.
Spoiler Alert: They funded both.
I’ll probably stick around in all honesty, you really can’t trust the media. But if any moots care and want to hit me up for whatever reason, get me on my insta @ivanramos117

I’m conflicted about leaving this app. It’s a pretty good place to find community, news, and discourse once you’ve blocked thousands of accounts. I might be taking a step back, but I also want to dive in more, especially as my other socials are just starting to gain more traction
as the entire US and Western media and political class is cheerleading CIA-Mossad rioters in Iran who are shooting at police and lynching them in the streets, ICE agents just shot a woman in the head in Minneapolis for "not following orders", and it's already being justified
As a Kenyan official put it: "Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture.”
I often heard that from my African friends when I was living and working in Africa, both for business and my African studies nowadays.
If something is legally required, like car insurance, then the industry should be nationalised. Why should the law force me to make profit for their shareholders rather than taxpayers?
MAGA rn is schrodinger’s pedophile:
“I don’t believe trump raped those kids unless there’s a video, but wanting to see this video doesn’t make me a pedophile”
People are going to make the invasion of Venezuela about Trump but that will miss the point. This isn't about Trump it's about America. Democrats will line up to support this because the US is a despotic, oligarchic, fake democracy revelling in violence and imperial power
