Just found out that the person who makes my favourite pen inks is a total cooker and raging racist. (hexbear.net)

Noodlers ink btw.

Doing more writing by hand lately and was looking at some new ink. Now I've got to find other achivist ink cause I'm sure as hell not giving money to someone who dogwhistles about "western civilisation" and brands with that racist's flag from the usa.

Sigh. I just liked the green.

what's a cooker

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i dug around in the link and found this:

Cooker – a derogatory term for conspiracy theorist; according to the National Dictionary Centre, "a derogatory term for a person involved in protests against vaccine mandates, government lockdowns and a range of other issues perceived to be infringing on personal freedom". Emerging during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, the word made the shortlist for "Word of the Year" in 2022. The term is also loosely associated with the far right. An explanation of the term given by an Australian in answer to a question on Twitter is that "It refers to someone whose brain has been cooked by overexposure to conspiracy theories and unhinged online rhetoric".

just googling it was little help as hilariously there are a lot of cookers complaining online that they are being called "cooker" and that it isn't a real phenomena and/or the slang lacks the appropriate pedigree for slang.

just seeing that makes me want to begin mass importation of this term to the US, because lmao. cookers gettin' cooked.

In Dutch we have "wappie" which means the same thing
