KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE!

It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship!

MAKE THOSE PHONES RING!! CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES ALL WEEK

202-224-3121 i HIGHLY encourage everyone to read the bills in the KIDS Act, because you will be doing more than 95% of people who read and introduce these bills

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

That's what V-coding is. That is why they are so adamant about sending trans women to men's prisons, because sex trafficking trans women within the men's prison system is an essential part of that system. Being misgendered by this isn't even an issue that's on our radar!

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

and naturally it seems like the booktube folks find this to be a good thing. which yknow. makes me full of fucking rage at these people but thats fine. its just so fucking frustrating to see people who think of themselves as very progressive, including sexually, who looooovee to say "im not kinkshaming!!! like whatever you like!!!" but interestingly never ever ever ever engage with the genre of erotica outside of talking about how dark erotica romanticizes abuse. but yeah no you arent contributing to anything negative at all. im soooooo glad this woman is going to fucking prison. its really cool.

everything that happens in a piece of fetish writing is about the fetish. the book being about DDlg does not mean it is about two consenting adults engaging in the kink of DDlg, it means the fiction itself is a meant to be a product of that kink & everything that occurs in the writing is equivalent to a roleplay scene or a fantasy in which one person pretends to be a child and engages in a scene like that.

that's why i compared it to that short story. in IHNMAIMS, the cruelty and horror and inescapability of the worst imaginable form of suffering is the whole point. engaging with those ideas and the feelings they evoke is the whole point. the same applies here but with the exploration of taboo desire.

if people are mad that the book eroticizes the main character as a child, then people are mad about the kink. there is no separating the two. everything that happens in the erotica is the scene, the roleplay, the fantasy. the kink shapes what story is told and how it is told. the adult man finds the main character attractive as a child because that is part of the fantasy the author is exploring through this fictional story. and by choosing to read it you are choosing to engage with that kink. and you can withdraw consent by choosing to stop engaging with it.

They discovered that land surface temperatures increased by an average of 2°C (3.6°F) in the months after an AI data centre started operations. In the most extreme cases, the increase in temperature was 9.1°C (16.4°F). The effect wasn’t limited to the immediate surroundings of the data centres: the team found increased temperatures up to 10 kilometres away. Seven kilometres away, there was only a 30 per cent reduction in the intensity.

I saved screenshots of her blog and last message to the world. Her parents had a lot of control over how she was perceived after her death, but it was also to prevent deletion by Tumblr itself. Even back then, Tumblr has been shadow banning trans women on this platform.
