"ironic" husbands

In light of The Situation happening right now in the USA, I highly recommend retreating from social media as much as possible and immersing in real life to clean out the gunk of social media type activism

Try as best as you can to track down some old retired folks who have been doing the activism thing for decades. And just old retired folks who care about anything, anything at all.

This crap with labeling the generations and talking like "boomers" are this way and "gen Z" is that way, it's silly to the point of being dangerous.

Younger generations in USA kind of reject the whole thing about respecting and valuing your elders but the truth is, all different kinds of cultures have these values and they're right. Elders have more knowledge and understanding than you can ever find written down anywhere.

And they WANT and NEED young people to connect with them. Elders are suffering more from our society of isolation than anybody else. And they are energized and invigorated by having young people to share their knowledge, information, and stories with.

So often I have been in a room of people majority over 65, wondering where all the "politically aware" gen Z are. And the answer is, they're on social media, arguing with strangers and stressing themselves out, while the "boomers" are getting shit done.

Social media isolates young activists from the most experienced and knowledgeable of all. And it's a dangerous trap for people of all ages who feel lonely and afraid. Either radicalizing them into hateful ideology and cult-style groups, or convincing them of apathy and pointlessness.

go outside, find the elders that know everything, get shit done. This is my advice

I’ve recently become interested in legends of avantrist, but the problem is I work with alligators and am very familiar with them and what they look like so every single Kremy art I see I’m like, “you’re no alligator you fuckin imposter…”

For anyone interested, here’s some miscellaneous alligator facts

Alligators have five toes on their front limbs and four toes on their hind limbs. Only the first three toes on each foot has claws.

Despite common media depictions, alligators are NOT green. They are black, dark grey, dark brown, and in VERY rare occasions, white or yellow, though these ones only survive in captivity. This is actually one of the ways to distinguish them from crocodiles, because crocs are much lighter in color, being a brownish green, tan, or a lighter grey. Alligators also loose their juvenile stripes at around 3-4 years old, while most crocodiles keep them their whole lives.

Alligators have thousands of tiny black dots on their face that kinda resemble a five o’clock shadow. No, it’s not facial hair or blackheads, they’re actually integumentary sensory organs that sense movement in the water around them and make their faces extreamly sensitive to touch.

Alligators do have ears, they’re just a little hard to notice. It’s the slit behind the eye.

Alligators have no sense of personal space. They will crawl all over each other trying to get the best sunning spot. It’s like they see other alligators as big rocks that sometimes move. (At work, we call them cuddle piles)

Despite how similar they look, alligators and crocodiles are not closely related. They diverged from one another around 100 to 90 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period. For reference, the last common ancestor of all big cats lived 10 million years ago.

Alligators have tongues, but they are attached and can’t move like ours.

Mama alligators are very protective of their babies and protect them for a year after they hatch before ditching them.

Alligators grow about 6 inches a year until they reach maturity at 10 to 12 years old. By this point the gator is about 6 feet long and will continue to grow through its entire life, though at a much slower rate.

Alligators are cannibalistic and won’t hesitate to eat a smaller alligator.

How do you tell the difference between a male and female alligator? Just put your finger in its cloaca. If something pokes you, it’s a male.

Alligators and all other crocodilians are more closely related to birds than any other member of the class reptilia. If birds aren’t reptiles, then neither are crocodilians.

The silly is here!!

Look at the large lad ive met today.

Using tumblr is fun, since there are blorbos from my shows here

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

I get to dive in fiberglass wool, as a treat :^)
