if no one cringes is it even art

It's even funnier to think that he never told Grace about this.

Picture this.

Grace, recording a video diary for future human visitors or something:

"Oh boy, and the ERIDIANS are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! They've done so much for me, I can't even put into words how grateful I am! Once we arrived on Erid, their top priority was saving my life despite the fact that their planet was dying! Me, a stranger, someone who doesn't even belong here! They went above and beyond for me, and all just because they're SUCH amazing, caring people. Right, Rock?"

Rocky, having flashbacks to the time he yelled "STAY THE FUCK BACK, NO YOU CAN'T HAVE THE TAUMOEBA! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? ALIEN ISN'T PRIORITY? FUCK YOU! ROCKY WILL KEEP TAUMOEBA FOR HIMSELF! ROCKY WILL BLOW UP ALL OF ERID! ROCKY WILL....":

The issue is this, people are assuming that asexuality is a descriptor of a individual’s sex drive, when the reality is that asexuality is a label for understanding the context in which an individual experiences sexual attraction and how emotional connection may be tethered to their experience(s) of sexual attraction.

So a person who rarely experiences sexual attraction, but is very sexually active once they do experience sexual attraction can still label themselves asexual. Just like a person who has casual sexual encounters simply for physical pleasure can still label themselves asexual, BECAUSE IT’S A SPECTRUM.

part of my role is going to people and gently saying "hey please stop taking photos of people without their consent. that can be dangerous for the people in the photos and you were asked not to at the start of the rally/march" and I have had people threaten to punch me over it so........

just stop taking photos. I don't care if they're "just for you" or if you "plan to redact them" you have no idea what situation someone is in and your photos will never be secure. if you want to take a photo just ask people in it first.

and of course they're always like "well what about those people taking photos" and I explain that "those people are known to our community and know who does and doesn't want a photo. people have already consented or not consented at past events to that person's photos and they know this" or "thanks for pointing that out I will talk to them too because they also should not be taking photos." this also, of course, does not solve the conflict and they continue taking photos anyways.

I have my own tactics for stopping photos when someone refuses that don't involve smashing cameras but they tend to escalate things anyways.

He’s dead now. His name was Edward Crawford, and his uncle believed that he didn’t kill himself.

Do you guys think the cops will look at the photos and say “wow, maybe we’re the baddies. Look how cool and passionate and photogenic they are. Maybe we should change our ways.” No, they’re going to hunt you down using those photos and fucking. Kill. You.

So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.
