"It’s lovely being part of being part of this big blob of humans."

Said Hermione Spriggs, 33, quoted in "Tens of thousands expected at climate justice march" (WaP).

"Hundreds of millions of Americans stay home and just want to be left alone."

If Israel lets them pray at the Western Wall, will they stop all this shit?

No masks. No social distancing. Does this mean that Covid and "super-spreader events" are over? Or is global warming such a life-or-death issue, like police brutality, that the virus takes a holiday?

Ghillie suits!

BUMBLE BEE said...

Fashion designed by Scottish Game Keepers!. Appropriation much?

wendybar said...

So they all walked there, right???

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Climate Justice? What is being to language is the greatest injustice of all.

jaydub said...

Shouldn't they be wearing pussy hats?

PB said...

Aren't you supposed to leave things as you find them in nature? Carrying away leaves and twigs seems proof of appropriation.

Some of these people went on a hunger strike. Others attacked Manchin screaming that they were going to die.

They are all crazy.

"big blob of humans"

Aren't they the species that is threatening the planet?

Those ghillie suits look perfect for hunting Big Foot. So, where are they going to be hunting Big Foot? They'll need those ghillie suits to hide from Big Foot 'cause Big Foot is the most elusive game ever. If BF gets one whiff of those two, he'll split the scene faster than you can say Jack Robertson. But, they better do their hunt soon before Climate Change forces BF to migrate to the Northern Territories in Canada to escape the 0.5-deg C rise in temperature in Washington State, the traditional home of BF, also known as Sasquatch.

I wonder how many drove or flew, how many snapped pics with their smartphones and if they will leave the gathering spot cleaner than they found it? You know, like the Tea Partiers do every time they rally.

rehajm said...

Yup- ghillie suit. My niece, when she was in grade school packed her weekend bag to take to school on a Friday. It had her school books, toe shoes for ballet later that day and her ghillie suit for a hunt on Saturday.

rehajm said...

Hermione Spriggs…heh.

Jeff said...

Now where'd I put that bottle of RoundUp?

tommyesq said...

What if they held a protest and nobody seemed to show up?

They are best sautéed in butter.

I'm up for some leave me alone justice.

yep!
those store bought ghillie suits are no more 'made of actual leaves and grass' than my boonie hat is

Achilles said...

There is no actual vegetative tissue on those Ghillie suits.

The only people dumber than those protesters at this event were the reporters reporting on them.

MadTownGuy said...

"Big blob of humans" - now they're unpersoning all of us? Or just themselves? I'm guessing the former. Blobs of humans, blobs of cells, what's the difference?

Michael said...

Have there always been this many fools abroad in the land? Maybe percentage-wise. Or maybe lots of people just don't have real problems anymore. Or maybe it's Twitter.

rcocean said...

Liberal white women have to be the stupidest people on the planet. They wear pussy hats to make themselves appear smarter.

Critter said...

Is there any better way to establish your "green" bona fides? That would sell big time if they opened stores in Hollywood and Manhattan.

Michael K said...

I assume they turned off the air conditioning before leaving for the parade.

Where is the trigger warning?

Ghillie suits are worn by snipers.

Iman said...

First teh furries and now we get “shrubbies”?

Captain BillieBob said...

What the hell is climate justice?

Assistant Village Idiot said...

Protest is often about the fetching outfits.

TheDopeFromHope said...

These marches should come with a "Skank Alert!"

Skippy Tisdale said...

"Tamara Colchester (L) and Hermione Spriggs, who lead tracking and foraging workshops, are dressed in outfits made of actual leaves and grass"

Do tampons next.

ALP said...

Why are these two wearing ghillie suits that were designed for snipers and hunters? Surprising in this era of purity, choosing something that evokes hiding and killing your prey.

Bunkypotatohead said...

Nice bush.

Big Mike said...

Where’s Weed-B-Gone when you need it.

Clyde said...

I'm sure those outfits will be quite helpful in enabling them to sneak up on mushrooms and truffles.

Mikey NTH said...

It's a happening, which means that whatever purpose may have originally been there is gone. Now just a place for the freaky people to put on their weird costumes and the exhibitionists to perform their antics, and tourists to come and gawk at the freak show and buy some trinkets at the crafts tables.

Iman said...

The Infamous Weird and Ghillie?

NotWhoIUsedtoBe said...

Glad I'm not the only one to make the sniper connection.

Dobie Ghillie suit worn by a couple of Zeldas

cfkane1701 said...

God, these people are so tiresome.

Lurker21 said...

I guess actual ghillies, or outdoor servants must have worn those suits before snipers adopted them, but I'm not sure just how they used them. They seem like a great thing to wear if you actually want to be accidentally shot.

This was interesting:

Similar sniper outfits in the Australian Army are nicknamed "yowie suit", named for their resemblance to the yowie, a mythical hominid similar to the yeti and bigfoot which is said to live in the Australian wilderness

BTW, Hermione Spriggs graduated from Hogwarts a few years after me. There was nobody like her for casting spells.
