i am the guardian of a colony of copepods, as well as their good friends the ostracods. several years ago now i accidentally brought them home in some pond water and now a lot of my time and energy goes into maintaining an ever-increasing number of water receptacles because they have multiplied wildly and i feel personally responsible for their happiness

i just wanted some water in a wading pool to grow duckweed and use on the garden, but now whenever i want to water the plants i have to go through an elaborate gravel-filtering ritual to minimise copepod mortality

Ive got this wild eyed theory that human hatred starts with hatred of bugs and is solvable then only by correcting hatred of bugs first. Even vegans loving hate bugs.

that's profound. non-hatred needs to be universal and extend to smallest, weirdest creatures. the irrational human hatred of bugs has caused enormous damage to the biosphere and is symbolic of a lack of understanding of how life itself is perpetuated

I'm a loving idiot. Ive hurt my back a few times in the same spot and hurt it again at work last Friday. Took immediate corrective action, found a way to keep doing what I was doing without putting strain on my back, took ibuprofen, was feeling a bit sore over the weekend but otherwise fine.

On Monday I figured I was good to go and tried incorporating pull-ups into my exercise routine again. That re-hosed up my back worse then before and I'm still in a lot of pain

that tracks imo. It's a primal aversion towards living things that are both like and unlike us, and they can threaten safety, comfort, cleanliness, ego (being more important or lovely than a bug). so there's a lot of poo poo wrapped up in a little bug
