@kara @KitRedgrave And did we notice uranium, neptunium, and plutonium are named after planets? It’s astrological homeopathy!

@ghost_bird @KitRedgrave god it's all coming together now

@KitRedgrave @kara (And by “heard” I mean “as part of a talk delivered to a school auditorium full of very straight middle-class seventeen year olds”. My school thought it would be educational to invite the reps from the local political parties to speak, and this was who the Greens sent.)

@ghost_bird @kara well that's pretty educational in itself, in that you learned that the greens have the worst praxis ever :p

@KitRedgrave @ghost_bird it really is fucking tragic that the only third party anyone ever heard of for a while was the flippin' Green Party

@kara @KitRedgrave This was/is the UK, where there are three parties by default and the Greens are together enough to have an MP these days.

@ghost_bird @KitRedgrave ahhhh, ok. sorry, I still mistakenly assume American context XD

@KitRedgrave @kara They were definitely the most popular speaker, even before they went on to tell us about cold-water rebirth. (And in fairness, it was the 80s. The Greens over here have improved a lot since then.)

@ghost_bird @KitRedgrave I am guessing that the Greens did not pick up many new adherents that day
