Ha ha ha!

I bought rats recently as pets (my partner joked about the irony of buying rats during a pandemic), on a whim, because of a childhood pet, and reading about them; and because I can’t have dogs or cats in my apartment. As it turns out, I was right that rats make really good small pets, as they’re smart, clean, playful, and affectionate. I completely fell in love with Marx and Engels (names are for a project, and also because they’re off-white and salt-and-pepper, so they do just make the cutest little pair of comrades), so I quickly learned lots about rats, and sometimes lurk in rat forums because they are just so darn cute.

There is one subreddit called “lil grabbies” which the above meme would be perfect for! I was just thinking “oh wow, my real life (rats) and online life (feminism) have converged!”

I’m sure hamsters are also allowed on lil grabbies!

Having said that about rats, though, I have to say that unlike rats, which are gentle, affectionate creatures, hamsters are known for being assholes, and they will fight to the death in a critter cage match if you put two of them into a room together.

Seems appropriate somehow! (Sadly). May the rodents in that meme morph in time from hamsters to rats.

Interesting. In this context All Lives Matter is acceptable but in a racial context it's unacceptable. Look closely and you might spot an inconsistency.

Hey, I would like you all to look at the Super Movement that is going on. It is a movement of natal-born males and females whose Gender Identity is based on their natal-sex. Unlike Cis-who identify as male gender or female gender, Supers identify as male and female based on their biological reality. Right now, many have come out identifying their sexual orientation as Super Straight, SuperGay, SuperBi, and Superlesbian. The Superstraights have come out swinging and seek ally ship with the other Super Sexualities.

Here is the summation of their declariation of identity on Reddit.

I suggest you all look at it and take it seriously because the trans movement will literally have to argue against itself and have to argue openly that it does not believe in sex, a death knell argument for those living in the US that they seek to avoid.

FB once again closing me down! This time for a comment on the nasty response from the England Men’s Cricket team to a perfectly innocuous post by one of the Women’s team in New Zealand. Apparently I can’t call men idiots, no matter how idiotically they behave😤
