Come outside was the best!

I was living it up at my friend's house (they've put up black out blinds in their front room and have a massive fancy fan). Drank rum and cokes and fancy wine, and sang along to some Fleetwood Mac. Best way to cope in this heat.

Genuinely like it's traumatic going through that, so of course people are going to respond in a way that is in according with how traumatic that experience is

Completely! Like you can mitigate harm without putting the onus on the person who's been harmed to do all the work in improving their situation. That's just objectively unfair.

Totally true imo. You can change the structures and systems that are harming them if nothing else.

I did once. But it was in Irvine so I feel like that takes away from the sexiness of it all.

self-declaration with only binary options is still exclusionary but then a third option is just creating a Freak Category so you can be more easily identified as a target and eventually it's like. why is this information even needed. by anyone

His stance on sex worker rights is pretty dog shit as well (it was an old convo on twitter I saw it on, basically said they don't support any change to the law wrt criminalisation) and idk, with the sheer volume of trans people who do sex work, kinda reads like you only want the respectable queers

Last night my partner and I were chilling in bed and they turned to me to show me a video on their phone, and said "so, fair warning, you are about to hear Keir Starmers voice" and honest to god might be in the top ten least sexy post coital conversations of my life.

Like, I'm not saying it will go that way, we could get lucky. But the rising tide of fascism is inescapable right now. And there's few things fascists love more than using dodgy but legal systems to cull people they view as unproductive and morally corrupted.

It's another worry I have about assisted dying. How long until it's given to someone without the capacity to make that decision because they're having a psychotic episode? How soon will it be before its being used to cull mad people for being too "difficult" or "complex"?
