#parasites — Public Fediverse posts

There's a fair bit of back-story behind these, but the short-story version boils down to:

• That, while small compared to their host, are roughly human sized.
• And they're radically alien to the world.

I know that they are #parasites on public funded research.

But I would love to give them a list of arguments.
