Hope of the Gunblade

Total Joyce Carol Oates victory

In all honesty, if you really, *really* liked Elon and thought he had never done anything wrong, you should *still* want to remove the money from him.

Look at him! He is not *happy*, it does not bring him *joy*, it merely enables a level of self-binding in delusion never historically possible!

I mean, in fairness, I was also surprised when I learned who wrote it.

I was sure they would be smart enough to keep their faces hidden. Surprise!

So was it ever.

Alas, watching Serena Joy get mangled by the system she helped establish is nowhere near sufficient to balance, or even really to mitigate, the horror of the system she helped establish.

I really wish there was some accessible way to beam that awareness into the other Joys about.

There's this whole image of nazi eugenics as evil scientists doing science without checks, but in reality what "science" happened was usually incompetent and driven by cruelty, and so fucking much of eugenics was about rejecting modern medicine as an "unnatural" boon to those who would otherwise die

As well all know, you're either cisgender or political.

if releasing the epstein files ends your political party, your political party might need to end.

this goes for both parties.

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

Can we do this with governance generally?

It should be something we respect people for choosing to dedicate their lives to, rather than receiving things like status or pleasure.

This would not prevent all ills, but as a societal structure it *seems* stable and much better than what we have.

OTC HRT

Full means of production in the hands of the people with 3d printing, desktop CNC, and gardening at home all being common, IP law is bad

Build more trains and busses and free apartments

No more surveillance

Protect kink, degenerate is a Nazi word

Drug legalization across the board

Decriminalize drug use. Treat drug addiction like any other kind of addiction, not as a crime.
Decriminalize sex work. Nothing good ever came from forcing it into darkness.
Nationalize all important utilities. Let the corpos cry.

There is no ethical billionaire.

If you got handed a billion dollars, tax free, how long would you take to not be a billionaire anymore? To be below 900m?

Billionaires could have spent to improve the world. They didn't. We tried that way, let's do something else now.

you want my most woke opinion? I want the entire world to accept true reform of people. I don't care if someone is a pedophile, a murderer or what, but I want to see people truly able to repent in this world. No more death penalty. Make people live with their own damn mistakes. Rot if they have to.

It seems like it is at least theoretically possible for there to be a human beyond any redemptive effort to make them safe for others available at our tech level. They should still be able to have a life, one they can enjoy, even if we do need to work extra hard to find a way.

No one should go hungry, unhoused, or without treatment, period. Oh they don't have money? Give them money, they clearly need it. The government's purpose is to keep people safe, you can't be safe if you're sick or starving.

We could end illegal immigration instantly just by making immigration legal (see: 1787-1910ish)

Morphological freedom or bust!

A flowchart: On top, a large oval is labeled “Should I defend the New York Times on social media?” below it is a single arrow pointing to a box labeled “No.”

I made you a flowchart:

How does one claim to worship this being and at the same time never think about how *pissed off* you would have to be to spend your afternoon *braiding a whip*. Not buying one, not borrowing one for a few minutes.

Jesus sat there and braided and was livid the entire time.

Jesus having the term “in-app purchases” explained to him and just wordlessly filling a sock with nickels

a fox in a cage with a tree branch behind it Alt: A bat eared fox approaches the camera and suddenly unfurls enormous bat-ears that tower over the head. It's a grey fox with buff chest and darker grey stripe down the nose. The slinking tail is dark charcoal like the paws.

You may think this is just a fox until:
*Sproing* go the big furry ears.

This is the aptly-named BAT-EARED FOX (Otocyon megalotis), native to the African savannah.

The Latin name means "dog-ear big-ears" & she's very sensitive about it, so NO GOSSIPING (she can hear you from a continent away).

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

Meme of Venom talking to Eddie Brock. Venom: The people who police your gender will police your gender even if you're cis. Eat them. "Oh, those body builder women with pancake breasts aren't…" — Eat them. "This woman has a beard, that's not…" — Eat them. "That man has a baby face, that's not…" — Eat them with barbecue sauce. Eat them. You will never be gender enough for their definition of gender. Eat them.

This is your daily reminder.

YES!
The way we are about names, that it has to be a rigid thing through life from when the first one gets slapped on you, is weird. We do not need to live like that! Change is a constant, and the pointer to an entity should not be excluded from that!

normalize name changes for anyone tbh. even if you're not trans, you should be able to just choose a name you feel good about and not have it be a big deal

They will try to censor porn. They will use those rules to then censor anything and everything else 1 inch at a time. You need to support porn and you need to do it vocally. The Internet (and all other media types) you save will be your own.

I swear. I don’t care if you watch or use porn. If you are in the Internet you need to support porn. Without porn most of the Internet you love wouldn’t have happened and wouldn’t be happening. Porn makes the wheels go round. Not that enough ppl pay for theirs but that’s a diff issue. (Cont)

This cruelty must stop.

There’s no doubt countless more stories like these that will never be told

People being harmed who will never have justice.

We know 1200 people went missing from the Everglades facility and 3000 are missing from the Chicago raids.

Make noise for all of them.

Abolish ICE

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
