A jumble of contradictions too tall an order for my body. Despite the username, this is my main. I have to break myself into so many little pieces to survive irl. "Too much to handle." Online I can be a whole, overly complicated person without being a burden. Striving for ahimsa.
Speaking of kinks: if your sexuality makes you uncomfortable or you have trouble with intrusive thoughts, Sex Therapists specialize in that and they are the definition of "they've seen worse". They help people work out their inner conflicts and learn practical coping skills.

3/ Sex and kinks are not inherently abusive/unsafe. But abusive people are always willing to use a scapegoat as an excuse for their own shitty behavior
Remember that.

2/ The next time you see someone claiming that sex is evil or that kinks are immoral/unsafe/exploitative, I really, REALLY want you to question whether or not that person actually understands the difference between CONSENSUALLY engaging in activities w/ others vs ABUSING people through manipulation

1/ Sex is about consent. Kink is about consent. You can SAFELY do WHATEVER kind of crazy shit you can imagine so long as everyone involved is a CONSENTING, RESPONSIBLE ADULT
And, that stands in such stark contrast to those in power who are so WILLINGLY DEVOID OF MORALS that they've abused kids

You are a brave person, Alec. And not how people tell me I am just for surviving ACEs, but *real* bravery to call out bad actors and be straightforward w/ your criticism and your plans. It shouldn't be controversial that a government has a duty to care for its people.
That must be an incredible rush of validation. Sorely needed. I'm impatiently waiting until I get off work to watch it, as I already know it deserves my full attention and energy. (A few min checking bsky is shorter than the video :p)

@techconnectify.bsky.social pardon the interruption to your day. I thought perhaps you could use a brief break from... everything. I know you have more important things to do, but I had recently gone there and thought about the Aztec pinball videos.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

I don't know how much longer I can be functional. The reason I wanted to flee the country or being alive is so I wouldn't have to live through this.

That was a short reprieve. I even reread the guide to sabotage but it's not applicable. We're not occupied by a foreign power and having our manufacturing turned against us. Sabotage would directly hurt innocent people. There's not a lot I can do. I'm not in a position to effect bad actors anyway.

A reprieve 🥹 Stay vigilant, all. Don't fall for hateful rhetoric - trans people are people. We deserve equal access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Any effort to bar us from full participation in public life is a violation of our most basic rights.

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

If you stand together against this, it cannot become law. It’s that simple. Voters respond when Democrats fight injustice and no compromise on trans rights will make Republicans stop attacking.
