What we call health care is not only seen as a private privilege rather than a public good; it's seen as primarily a method of correction for defective bodies. It is neither. It is the prerequisite for all human rights and freedoms: expression, speech, religion, free movement, free association.

“That’s my secret, Cap. I never had a life.”

The worst kind of nosey assholes imaginable who want to ignore their own hang-ups now have government power and endless internet connection to be their most authoritarian selves.

And ya'll know me, I love a good piece of art that's a kick in the balls. BAG BOY, LOVER BOY is one of my favorite movies. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is one of my favorite books. However, I never took the overwhelmingly dark tone of that art as a message to give up. More like a warning against nihilism.

Shit, I'm not even an anarchist, but even I know you're doing anarchism wrong when you preach a liberatory ideology, and then turn it around and be like "but it's all pointless :(".

It's so self-centered and childish.

Mayhaps being a prick here, but I just absolutely cannot stand nor take seriously an unironic self-identified nihilist. Especially those who identify as "anarcho-nihilist". OK, cool, just tell me how morally superior you are while simultaneously believe NOTHING can change really. Fuck you.

Even here on Bluesky, there are not-so cryptic types like this who go on paranoid rants about the "sex libertines" co-conspiring with fascists, even as said ranter likes dumb posts by an equally dumb person how the porn bans designed by fascists are a good thing actually.

If you know, you know...

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

I just looked at pictures and holy fucking calamari those things look like they could sink a sub if they ever got the idea too.
