Most Based Dad I've Seen In A While

i'm listening to gathering moss, by robin wall kimmerer, and she is talking about a very odd job she was consigned to do, where an eccentric millionaire recuited her to consult on a "habitat restoration". when she arrives, the job they actually want her to do is to tell them how to plant mosses on the rocks in his garden. he wants it to look like a specific, beautiful wild cliff in the woods nearby, with centuries-old beds of moss growing thick and strong. she tells him it is impossible. such a thing would take decades to accomplish.

later, she is called back to look at the progress of the moss garden and is amazed by the thick, well-established mosses. how did they do it? she asks.

then they take her out to the woods and show her that they have been blasting huge chunks of rock out of the cliff, packaging them in burlap, and moving them to the owner's garden.

ok so i am not, nor have i ever been, a member of any punk scene so take this with a grain of salt

but it amazes me when people try to no-true-scotsman punk politics. like, sure there are a lot of leftists and progressives that are in and come from punk. but it was always a reactionary musical and fashion movement without any clear politics besides “fuck shit up.” thats going to draw in people from a myriad of beliefs and theyre not going to be (and have never been) perfectly in line with your leftist values. hell, half the ramones were conservative. johnny rotten went maga to nobody’s surprise. jello biafra had to specify “nazi punks fuck off” because some of the punk movement were and are literal nazis. and then you even have riot grrl, which is on the whole pretty left leaning. except of course for the MASSIVE transmisogyny in the movement.

idk it just feels like yall wanna stick “punk” on things you like and strip it off things you dont whether or not they do actually fit the conventions of the musical genre

For real thouuuuugh!!! Like, daaamn! Don't be afraid to show off them curves, beautiful! Also, that face ain't ugly, nuh-uh. 💚

Soooooo

I may have worn a string bikini in public for the first time.....

I use "bean" as an affectionate term for people on a daily basis. Hope I can spread it

If you like

“Being called a ‘good girl’, ‘good boy’, ‘good bean’, etc”

Then you should try

“the mutual feeling of safety when you embrace that trans girl you’re talking to”
