@drwho this is actually really helpful

@ein_wesen @elilla but hagebutte is rosehip…

@ein_wesen @elilla this whole conversation has made me realize that i don’t actually know what kind of bird a jay is, or what kind of bush a hawthorn is. Because i never actually looked those words up in a dictionary, i never learnt them from the vocabulary section of a school book, i learnt that those are a kind of bird and a kind of bush from context while consuming media (very much possible that it might’ve actually been a warrior cats book, idk).

@elilla that reminds me of how the first book i ever read in english (by my own choice) was one of the warrior cats books. I was absolutely obsessed with those books as a teenager and i had read through all those that had been translated to german, and i was impatient enough to continue reading that i convinced my parents to order me the next one in english. I used a dictionary to look up some words that i didn’t know, but mostly i just tried to get the meaning of things i didn’t understand based on context. I was already kind of ahead of my classmates in english class when i did that (because i occasionally watched english fandubbed anime on youtube) but ever since that i was ahead of my classmates to the point where i got bad grades because i was just too bored to participate in class, all because of stories about cats (and anime)

@artemis honestly i’m not surprised at all, considering how i already knew he did genocide denial, another sign that he lacks any kind of moral compass that i can accept. I think that this culture of treating theorists as figures to be basically worshipped inevitably leads to this kind of shit and is irreconcilable with anarchism.

@sundogplanets that sounds like something that would’ve sounded so far-fetched it’s cartoonish if it was a thing in a scifi story a few years ago. It sounds like something that would still be if it appeared in a scifi story today. I hate this timeline. Dystopian media should not be an instruction manual.

@streetartutopia stop making anyone famous!! No gods no masters no rockstars
