@crankybabygorl People who defend this are 100% willing to take the chance of this happening again. They value a strangers life so much that it becomes negligent. They lose sight of the victim and what really occurred. They get wrapped up on only seeing us “attacking” the 8yo. It’s crazy
this is rooted in the ancient and wicked customs of https://t.co/fBglocxDv0 and lj writers who would hold fic chapters hostage until enough people wrote an in-depth bullet-pointed comment addressing every plot point with endless praise. normal people have left this behind
asexuality was banned to target women’s rights to decline sex. yes ofc this affects asexuals, but it was banned specifically to protect men’s right to rape. this should never be left out of the convo! asexual freedoms go hand in hand with women’s freedom to say no to sex!
Denmark is moving to ban Frankenchickens — the first country in the world to do so.
What we’ve done to chickens is the largest genetic experiment ever run on any animal, and one of the most troubling.
Geneticists took a scrawny bird and engineered an obese meat machine. The chickens we eat today grow four times faster than chickens did in 1957.
But their bodies are not four times stronger. By just six weeks old, many will suffer ailments of old age — heart failure, organ colapse — while one in four will become lame (Knowles et al., 2008).
In studies, lame birds will choose feed laced with painkillers — a sign of chronic pain (Danbury et al., 2000).
Their parents meanwhile are kept on starvation rations. Birds engineered to grow this fast would otherwise eat themselves to death before laying a single egg.
We now breed over 70 billion of these birds a year. Denmark is acting to reverse this giant genetic experiment. The rest of the world should follow suit.
@heresyhorsey "Attraction to predators" so coming from someone who can honestly say relatable this just shows the radqueers just give labels to symptoms of trauma rather than facing the actual trauma. I can recognize my attraction to predators is from trauma, not just a silly para
