@aaron i think if i wrote “HOW DARE YOU” on my little question of the day whiteboard the students might interpret that aggressively ..?
@babyalligator just go with "Why bother?"
lots of good stuff can come from that
@aaron maybe i should just play “i hate mondays” a couple of times in the ten minutes we’d be talking otherwise
@babyalligator "Why bother?" isn't about having the question. Sure, it's an attention grabber on purpose but the discussion becomes "in a time where everything seems like nonsense, and sometimes hopeless, where it's harder to make connections, when everything feels TOO BIG, why do you try? why do you care? why do you bother? What's your motivation?"

@babyalligator I spent a year as a teacher with the title of juggalo because “I didn’t give a shit about bullshit.”

ICP has some good ideas. Bang! Pow! Boom! is a fantastic plan for dealing with the Epstein gang.

@Goose @babyalligator I, for one, am not presidential.

a.@astridpoot but is the baby human or the adult human the actual animal? 🧐
StroomAfwaarts 🌱@astridpoot
In most species with two or more forms, the flying thing is usually shortlived and only there for reproduction. As beautiful as the butterflies often are, I still chose caterpillars.
si2mev #antifa lover@astridpoot @babyalligator The caterpillar is the juvenile and the butterfly the adult form, seen from the eyes of biology.
Feel free to have a different view if it is philosophical. ;)
Eugene Parnell@astridpoot @babyalligator Related question: in languages other than English, are the words for "butterfly" and "caterpillar" obviously related? For example "chick" and "chicken". In English that's an exception--we have tadpole to frog, calf to cow. Other languages--I think-- are more literal for most animals (I'm checking Farsi and Bahasa Indonesia which are all I know) and they're literal/related except for caterpillar and butterfly which don't indicate the relationship.
@babyalligator i remember a teacher telling me the caterpillar phase is often longer than the shiny glamorous butterfly phase, that got me thinking!
