Dude, I appreciate what you're trying to say but the Nordic model is the only successful model. If you want a good case study about what not to do look at Australia. Fuck, purchasing women for sex should be a crime

What I’m trying to say is that by imposing this model on sex workers, it is hurting them and putting them in danger. Sex Workers are human beings too and they do have rights. Having an emotional reaction to sex workers, and just trying to discourage the practice as quickly as possible has unintended consequences.

Here’s some reading on that:

Amnesty International Calls for an End to the ‘Nordic Model’ of Criminalizing Sex Workers

Nordic laws will make the sex trade more dangerous

Why the ‘Nordic Model’ sucks (with references)

And this evidence bears out in Canada. With the Conservatives Bill C-36, sex workers are being exploited and are in more danger now than they were before it passed:

Sex workers still exploited despite C-36, research shows

I’m so fucking mad

I want to go yell at Bioware.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

UGH

They’re really going all in on this Anthem thing and like.... neglecting all their other properties to do so.

Which is making me preemptively resent Anthem.

35. Who was important to you this year but wasn’t important last year?

Frankly I don't think I've formed any important new connections this year? I don't fully trust people that easily. But my family and friends made in former years have remained equally important to me.

43. What have you learned about yourself this year that you didn’t know in the years prior?

I started working part time again this year after spending too many years at home due to mental health issues. It has given me some new perceptions of my own abilities and shortcomings. I like to think that my main strength lies in my empathy and desire to make other people feel safe and appreciated.

50. What do you wish for yourself?

Look at all these promises kept, don't know what 2 do with myself

I’m mad at EA for having BioWare launch a game that needed a few more months and then being surprised it wasn’t warmly received (which sucks bc I’m playing it again and having so much fun ffs)

I can assure you, as an Ontarian, that there are lot of people who still hate the NDP because of BR and it fucking sucks

I've seen comparisons in that they're both boring and flat and act as wish fulfillment when lbr we both know they're layered characters who serve different fictions within the narrative

ah yeah. I can see that.

3. What’s your opinion on season 7?

Season 7 is a mixed bag. There are some things about season 7 that I really enjoy, like Buffy being back at Sunnydale High in a totally different role. It was a nice flip on early seasons. My sweet princess Dawn Summers got a lot of good stuff to do as she finds her role on the team. I also enjoyed Jonathan. And just how the entire season was a fond farewell to the entire history of the show. But the bad parts are BAD. So... yeah. Mixed!

7. What is your least favorite (episode/character/season/ship)?

Episode -  4x18 “Where the Wild Things Are”. AWFUL. I’ve only watched it once sober. In subsequent rewatches, I’ve always had a few drinks before I attempt to watch it.

Character - Xander Harris. Fuck him.

Season - Oh no. This is gonna be unpopular. But... season 3. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate it. There are some really good aspects of it. But I think I harbor a lot of bitterness about it because everyone was so awful to Cordy? IDK.

Ship - Xander/Cordy. MY CORDELIA DESERVED BETTER.

11. Who do you think was the worst big bad?

Dark Willow. Bleeegh. Season 6 has some really great episodes, but as a whole? MESSSSSSSSS. And Dark Willow is part of that.

15. What is the weakest point of season(x)?.
