one of my father’s hindu colleagues was surprised that my family didn’t make everyone say a christian prayer before we sat down to eat dinner. we were like “….this is your house.” and she laughed and said that her christian friends “make” her pray all the time. like what the fuck. how fucking rude can you be to make the host pray to your god. you are in their fucking house.
I say this as a former Christian
Christians will deadass claim to be oppressed but feel comfortable and safe enough to:
Force non-Christians to pray to the Christian God in their own fucking homes
Go door-to-door to proselytize
Call people to proselytize
Take classes to proselytize (my mythology teacher actually dealt with this, and now has to include a warning on the first day of class)
Cross the fucking ocean to proselytize
Openly tell people they think they are going to Hell
Insist that their beliefs should influence the law
Get all pissy if someone says this isn’t a Christian nation, but a beautifully mixed one.
Have radio stations built around their religion
Have movies based on their religion
And fucking everything else
In short, Christian Supremacy needs to be addressed and religious imperialism stopped.
Tell children who are forced to go to Christian/Catholic schools by their parents that they have to pray at school with everyone else and if they don’t like it they shouldnt be at a Christian/Catholic school, despite said children not having any say in what school they attend because they’re children
I don’t think most Christians realize how much space they take up in American society. They’re basically the default and anyone who isn’t Christian is supposed to just go with it. It fucking sucks.
“Oh that animal doesn’t LIKE you it just TOLERATES you”
…..So? If that’s the most a non-social organism can feel towards you isn’t that just as special an honor as whatever it is you think affection means??
“This creature with no natural social instincts outside of mating allows me to freely interact with it, while causing it little stress” is fucking DOPE AS SHIT
also… are you SURE? like, we’re still finding out so much about animals. Wolverines fathers, who we thought were not involved in caring for kits, turn out to travel around and collect all their kits from multiple mothers and take the whole group out on camping trips. Some spiders have tiny frog pets (!) or group up to communally raise their young. Wild sharks, crocodiles, and snakes have formed strong, documented relationships with people.
this man Gilberto (Chito) Shedden nursed this crocodile back to health after it was shot in the eye, and they were best friends for the rest of the crocodile’s life.
this python came in out of the wild as a baby snake and curled up next to the family’s infant, Oun Sambat (or Oeun Sambat?) and they were inseparable for 12 years
Cristina Zenato removes hooks from sharks and they let her stick her hand down their throat to do it and they even bring other sharks who need help to see her.
It’s a relationship that goes beyond a single helpful interaction. For example one of the sharks that would show up when she first started swimming with them was a shark she called Foggy Eye who really didn’t like to be touched. One day, Foggy Eye showed up with a hook in her mouth that Cristina Zenato removed, and ever after, Foggy Eye cuddles when she visits, putting her head in Cristina’s lap and enjoying some petting
We don’t know SO much. Some wolf spiders will adopt unrelated orphaned spiderlings and raise them. We recently discovered that the ant-mimickingjumping spider (below) produces “milk” and suckles its young until they are nearly fully grown.
SO. Don’t assume we know all about what creatures do or feel or whether or not they form social connections or bond with others.
I think one of the funniest things about “ok boomer” is the fact that they used “millennial” as an insult for years and it was ok but we start giving them a taste of their own medicine and it’s suddenly the end of the world.
