Does everyone who listens to subliminals all night have AdBlock? Subliminal Interstitials would be a cool name for something.

@caelan.bsky.social Re: legacy of Tom of Finland, it was interesting hear what the foundation is doing, as opposed to the huge exhibit of his work that just finished in Finland. His name alone is excellent branding for a country that did away with forced sterilization for trans people a year ago.
"I've heard from members of sexual minorites that they find these explicit, happy depictions of gay sex liberating" boomed the museum guide leading a group of 20 other upper middle class women into the exhibit of leather daddy orgies and the like, so loud I couldn't hear my gay date talk.

So I have been put on a divine mission to convince people that Finland sucks. I just had a job interview that went great, other than a tiny little thing they mentioned in passing: their training data is labeled by incarcerated people.

Society has quietly admitted that positive eugenics is totally cool. Ask a doctor about birth control options as a young white student, an immigrant POC with kids, or while incarcerated. The recommended options will likely prioritize preserving fertility regardless of your priorities in 1/3.

Thinking about where else the resources that went into putting trash cans behind an access code could have been spent on. Power outages are not uncommon here, and during those hours you just can't take out the trash. One of The Most Advanced Civilizations on Earth!

Having lived in more "Eastern" and "Southern" countries for a decade, where *for some reason* everything is assumed to be worse, especially infrastructure, I never experienced more than a brief power outage. Here hours-long ones are so common they have an app for tracking them.

I want to know if there are more examples of 90's/00's cheesy European pop videos that are also ads for the local armed forces (excluding the Balkans). Please let there be an Italian one.

I don't have designs for my own religion, this grift would be secular:
1. "Libertarian" can mean a lot of things
2. Criticism of the State is far more common from the right in the mainstream
3. I do think local culture and language are under threat, just not by immigrants
4. ???
5. Profit

It is not responsible coverage when the photo illustration might as well be an ad for a Nazi MMA gym, a decades old problem known to anyone even a little antifascist and involved in combat sports. I don't have a subscription to read this, and neither will the new recruits this will attract.
There’s a new power player on America’s extremist scene. White nationalist “Active Clubs” are growing explosively, and filling a void created by the prosecutions that decimated the leadership of Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.

This one is bigger and I haven't found a frame for it yet, but it is a whimsical reminder to keep it down and not disturb neighbors.

Not sure whether to have this visible on my balcony or by my front door to best express my opposition to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Assuming truth in advertising to be part of ethical consumption, how come more second hand clothing is labeled "pre-loved" instead of "sloppy seconds"?

I have a sweater from the 70's/80's in storage, and literally has a patch on the chest showing it's unisex. Made in Eastern Europe. This is not frivolous, considering the direction they're going in, and are allowed to go in. Very likely you haven't heard of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Br...

While in high fashion, probably the most famous images from the 70's are Helmut Newton's work featuring YSL's Le Smoking. Robin Osler, on the right in the third image, is still modeling today as seen in the fourth picture. Warning for breasts.

Some more Tradition I wish we'd Retvrn to. Especially the flares, because a small difference (or ok, not that small) in how a fabric is cut and sewn together from the usual for your perceived gender is can be really tough on some unfortunate people.

TurningPoint USA wanted attendees of their Young Women's Leadership Summit to dress in 70-inspired clothing, and I was disappointed to learn that their reference point was the degenerate celebrities of Studio 54 and not the unisex fashion worn by my parents when they first met (and still married).

On a practical level it often feels like outside certain local communities, trans visibility was a mistake. Just bad opsec.
September 23, 2023 at 9:25 PM
I don't know how @falconryfinance.bsky.social does it. I haven't been able to stay engaged with the community and post through my own stalking and harassment situation. Is it a question of practice?

While all upper-class Brits seem related, unfortunately Ghislaine Maxwell is not a descendant of James Clerk Maxwell, so I'm going to have to make the Maxwell's Demon stuff from The Crying of Lot 49 connection on a spiritual level.

I was hoping to find some fellow anarchists among the transes, for Christ's sake the state stopped wanting us sterilized less than a year ago! Though I'm pretty sure I planted the seed of radicalization in at least one person.
