more people need to give themselves permission to write and draw pornography

it is virtuous and necessary that you write, draw, and distribute pornography

can we start with not conflating "erotic/sexual art or writing" with pornography

no lmao

"so youre saying we should just allow rapists and abusers to remain in society?" where else would they go ⁉️😭🙏 so confused can you show me this place outside of society

people that dont wanna seem like law and order conservatives but have trouble not being a reactive arguer will allude to life prison or the death penalty but waffle on the delivery in 'progressive' spaces so theyll just advocate for exiling them to the wilderness. or something

haaate when i actually find advertisements funny. makes me feel dirty . makes me feel impure

touching grass isn't enough we should be staging small community productions of shakespeare

I went to a taylor swift concert once and it was mostly ok but there was one standout moment where they brought a red pulsating jewel on stage. Taylor said it was called the heart of Ozymandias. She kept inviting people on stage to touch it and every time they did they would turn into sand and blow away. And people just kept going up and touching the thing.
