It is always frustrating how much anti-kink rhetoric is regurgitated by leftists all because they can’t process being uncomfortable with something normally. Some leftists cannot be distinguished from the highly conservative right because they’re claiming thoughtcrimes are real over fiction.

potentially controversial #kpop opinion but of the 4th gen (debuted between 2018 and 2023, roughly), Soyeon is the most capable *live* performer — she’s got incredible control over her whole body (including her voice) and the charisma of an old-school movie star youtu.be/Cesu35SBPD4?...

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

Boosting! This is relevant to several things I’m working on right now and I want to build up my reading list.

Academic friends: I am looking for texts (from any field or discipline) that address play/playfulness as either an analytical tool or a form of feminist praxis. I know this comes up in Haraway’s work but I’m wondering what else is out there. Thank you in advance for any guidance!

Today marks 28 years since Matthew Shepard died, beaten to death for daring to be out in 1998. In 2021, his mother Judy testified for my bill to ban the anti-LGBTQ panic defense here in Virginia so people kill or assault us for simply existing. I’m grateful for her work and the advocates who helped.

§ 18.2-37.1. Certain matters not to constitute defenses. A. Another person's actual or perceived sex, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation is not in and of itself, or together with an oral solicitation, a defense to any charge of capital murder, murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, or voluntary manslaughter and is not in and of itself, or together with an oral solicitation, provocation negating or excluding malice as an element of murder. B. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a defendant from exercising his constitutionally protected rights, including his right to call for evidence in his favor that is relevant and otherwise admissible in a criminal prosecution. § 18.2-57.5. Certain matters not to constitute defenses. A. Another person's actual or perceived sex, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation is not in and of itself, or together with an oral solicitation, a defense to any charge brought under this article. B. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a defendant from exercising his constitutionally protected rights, including his right to call for evidence in his favor that is relevant and otherwise admissible in a criminal prosecution. 2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities; therefore, Chapter 1289 of the Acts of Assembly of 2020 requires the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of $50,000. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

you’ll never believe this: it is in fact shingles (99% sure but seeing a doctor in the morning). unfuckingREAL

Emma Cifrino (dr. maine witch, DMA, PhD)@mainewitch.bsky.social · last wk.

okay, this is weird. essentially this thing is following the same trajectory as when I had shingles, but quicker and milder. pain -> less pain -> swelling around the eye. and of course this is happening when I uniquely do not have $ for multiple doctor visits.

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose
