The answer to why people think sex scenes in pop culture are unnecessary is that we as a society scorn people who practice the craft of making them good, and also scorn the very concept that it is a craft to begin with.

It is, very frankly, a skill issue.

i think that once you start intertwining ideas about *ethics* and attitudes about what "good" sexual relationships look like, you've already internalized puritan beliefs -- even if you don't think you have. and i don't think most people are as enlightened as they think they are.

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this

CHOTINER: And you didn’t know this person - what did you call him again?

CELEBRIMBOR GREATEST OF THE ELVEN SMITHS: Right, his name was Annatar but

CHOTINER: And you taught him to create a ring harnessing all his malice and cruelty?

CELEBRIMBOR: Well I mean I was deceived

CHOTINER: So you’ve said

@adibkhorram.bsky.social I literally found out about you and your work while browsing my Boundless app. IDK why but the mere existence of a fellow Iranian writing queer romance novels starring at least one character from the diaspora lifted a weight off my shoulders I had no idea I was carrying. 😅

Comme toujours, c'est pas perdu de rappeler que si la Russie quitte le territoire Ukrainien, la guerre s'arrête DANS LA SECONDE.

This is bigger than my fuckin’ head! 🧐

Plein de gens ont alerté en 2004, en disant que la loi sur l'interdiction des signes religieux ostentatoires, serait une brèche dans la liberté de culte.

Ben voilà, on y est.

je veux plus entendre personne dire qu'on exagère quand on parle de fascisme, y avait déjà assez de preuves comme ça, mais là on est au stade où un compte officiel du gouvernement fait des blagues sur des déportations ??

S'il fallait encore une preuve de la nécessité d'archives non contrôlées par l'institution qui les produit, et ben la voila.

You're gonna need a cat on your timeline, I think.

Absolutely fucking *livid* about this. My kid goes to one of these schools, along with a kid who has two dads. We’re not a fucking ideology, we’re parents.

There *is* an ideological problem in those schools; it’s right-wing edgelord shit from social media parroted by ten and eleven-year-old boys.

Hello? Is this thing still on?

Pour @guillaumecingal.bsky.social et son amour des jeux de mots.

BlueSky kind of reminds of early days Twitter but with a more sophisticated design.

I don’t really know what to post here tbh. I need some time to find my footing.

And I’m waiting to have invite codes to share.

I grew up with AA. My parents got sober when I was 10 & I was well-versed in the warning signs of alcoholism before I was a proper teen. BC of that, I have always been hyper-aware & evaluative of my drinking. I've always wondered if I would have ended up an alcoholic if I hadn't grown up that way.

@chrisbrosnahan.bsky.social Hey there! Thanks for the invite. :)
