I think a lot of this coverage has to do with porn

SO much of it is barely legal content (or marketed as that, whatever the age of the subjects) and we KNOW porn is far and away the thing the internet is MOST used for

I don’t think consuming porn is the same thing as assault or pedophllia

gonna dedicate whatever my next publication is to her, I think

Thought about dedicating it to my (step, but also only) grandfather but unlike him, my friend was met a chauvinist pig who left $100k to his biological children and not his step-children (including my mom who tended to him as he died)
One of my friends at church died, she was 75

She didn’t have a lot of family & didn’t know who would go to her elderly aunt’s funeral & then said she didn’t know who would he to her OWN funeral

I told her I would & she said “I know you will, you’re a good kid”

very sad this day came so soon :(

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

This cutie is 1 year old Pallas's cat Oto living at Kobe Animal Kingdom~she is very active, always energetic, and makes loud noises, so keepers decided her name should be the Kanji character for sound. 😻

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

I find myself reacting to AI videos by no longer being interested in any videos. I used to like to scroll FB Reels and Instagram videos of parrots and stuff, but I saw a few that I suspect were AI, and since then can't enjoy ANY of them because they might be. Somehow that ruined videos for me.

Have come to feel a visceral revulsion at this imagery … it’s uncanny frictionlessness is like nails on chalkboard to me. Hostile to humanity itself, it is a kind of anti-art.

I am currently having a meltdown on my Instagram stories about how much I hated del Toro’s Frankenstein (it is the Benson Boone of horror movies) and how del Toro bastardized Mary Shelley, one of the most profound analysts of human nature in art, but at least the creature is kinda hot, that’s nice

Pelosi was flawed (don’t love any politician with that much wealth) but she is one of THE reasons we have the ACA, was willing to soak up blame, and why Biden stepped aside and prevented an unmitigated bloodbath

woah she was still here and Schumer was retiring but NO we can’t have anything good

a bullet point list of the story elements- the Jedi fall bc they get ensnared in military service for a corrupt republic against an even worse enemy, Darth Vader was enslaved as a child, Leia is the daughter of a pro-democracy queen, are all compelling, but in really bad movies

There always have to be specific cases—Aziz Ansari, Depp v. Heard—where the women who came forward are just repeatedly slandered in service of the narrative that they lied and they are examples of MeToo excess, even when they've only been harmed for coming forward and egregiously so!
