Senza titolo

Ciao… sono solo un pipistrello. 🦇

Non bevo sangue e non voglio assolutamente rimanere incastrato tra i tuoi capelli.

Se entro accidentalmente a casa tua,

per favore non colpirmi con scope o bastoni – mi fa male, e ho soltanto paura.

È stato un errore. Non volevo spaventarti.

Se atterro, potrei non riuscire a volare via senza un piccolo aiuto.

Ti chiedo soltanto di coprirmi delicatamente con un asciugamano e accompagnarmi fuori –

vedrai che volerò via immediatamente, te lo prometto.

Mi nutro di zanzare e altri insetti dannosi – in realtà, ti sto aiutando!

Ma le nostre case stanno scomparendo a causa di nuove costruzioni.

Cerchiamo soltanto riparo.

Quindi, se per caso entro da te:

🔌 Spegni le luci dentro casa

💡 Accendi una luce all'esterno

🚪 Lascia aperta una porta

Troverò da solo la via d'uscita.

Barbara Bartolotti nel 2003 è stata colpita con martellate al cranio, coltellate all'addome (con perdita del feto che portava in grembo), calci e pugni al fine di sfigurarla, ed è stata data a fuoco da un collega geloso del fatto che lei avesse un marito e lo avesse rifiutato. La forza di questa donna l'ha portata a fingersi morta per poi scappare sulla tangenziale per chiedere aiuto, mentre era mezza carbonizzata. Dopo 10 giorni di coma, 6 mesi di ospedale, 27 interventi e la paura di morire è rinata più forte di prima. Il collega di lavoro avrebbe dovuto fare 25 anni di galera per tentato omicidio della donna. Reo confesso e dopo vari patteggiamenti, gli danno 4 anni di domiciliari. Con L’ indulto non ne ha scontato nemmeno uno. Lei non trova più lavoro: le dicono che non la vogliono perché “fa impressione”. Lui lavora in banca, ha fatto carriera e si è sposato. Lei è stata licenziata da quella banca, perché tra i vari capi c'era lo zio dell'aggressore. Nel 2016, Barbara ha fondato l'associazione Libera di Vivere. Amici aiutatemi a condividere.

It should welcome more porn!

Tumblr has been a safe and reliable place to look at pornographic images for more than a decade whether those images were drawings, GIFs, photographs, or short videos. But that’s changing in two weeks. The platform’s CEO announced in a lengthy Tumblr post on Monday that the service plans to ban all adult content. There will be some exceptions, like for art with nudity, but for the most part, the days are numbered for existing Tumblr posts featuring nudity or other pornographic content. The policy comes two weeks after Tumblr was kicked off the Apple App Store because some child pornography reportedly slipped through its filters. It’s unclear if Tumblr didn’t respond to just these reports of child porn fast enough, or if this is a long-standing problem.

It’s certainly true that Tumblr, which now is owned by Verizon, needs to work vigilantly and hire people to make sure that its services aren’t used to abuse minors and traffic in child pornography. Pedophilic material is something that all live-to-post services need to seriously contend with and actively engage in rooting out, whether they are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter’s Periscope—where I found last year that apparent pedophiles were frequently preying on young users—or Tumblr. But the platform’s fix is the equivalent of hammering a nail with a skyscraper, only to have it slip through an open window. It’s an overreaching solution that won’t protect children who are victims of child pornography, seekers of which will all but certainly find another place to go.

What banning “adult content” will do, however, is eradicate one of the few mainstream, safe, and non-taboo places where people could participate in communities that openly congregate around sex and sexuality. Sex is great, and it’s no wonder that people like to consume sexual images—much of the internet is dedicated to this. Knowing that one could roll onto Tumblr, a very popular social media site, find a blog dedicated to whatever flavor of porn one likes, and look at images that turn one on, made the whole ordeal of seeking sexual imagery less daunting, demeaning, and dangerous.

Popular porn sites like Pornhub or YouPorn also have something for everyone, but that something is often accompanied by shady online ads and recommendations for porn that you may find insulting or troubling. (Porn about incest and rape abounds on those sites, for example.) And having one of those sites show up in your browsing history or an open tab could lead to uncomfortable conversations.

But individual Tumblrs that feature adult content generally feel like appreciation pages, because that’s what they are. Go to a Tumblr dedicated to sexy images of women in lingerie, drawings of naked people, queer people making out, or real and different-size women reaching sexual climax and it feels like you’ve found a community of people who like what you like—not one where you have to identify yourself, or be exposed to eye-popping ads about penis size that may also be peddling some nasty malware. It’s no wonder that Tumblr has become a place for people who are curious about their sexuality to explore imagery that they find appealing. Porn is experienced on Tumblr the way a lot of things are experienced on Tumblr, from memes to artworks to history to puns. And that impacted how one might view porn there. Finding pages with dedicated collections of sexual imagery among all the other fan pages made the perfectly normal and healthy activity of enjoying sex and things that make one think about sex feel perfectly normal.
