and i will continue to make fucking noise about the fact our representation is disappearing rapidly during a key moment in history!!

Puritanism is getting worse around the globe and conservatives and fascists will absolutely be first going harder against porn, then use that against queer people. You HAVE to realise this and oppose anti porn measures and laws, be in solidarity with sex workers, and listen to them when they call this shit out. It's going to be vitally important.

Reminder that keeping porn legal means that pornstars have legal protections that they will lose if porn is made illegal. Reminder that keeping porn legal means there are legal standards that can be put in place and enforced which results in better safety for all who are involved in porn's creation.

Reminder that porn will never stop being a thing. It just won't. If it's made illegal, then it will continue to be created and distributed - its just that it will now be done under the table, and with no safety regulations or protections for anyone.

Yes, the hard-right's ultimate plan is to use porn as a gateway from which to attack queer people, but even if that wasn't their plan, you should want to protect the legality of porn anyway.

Keeping porn legal means that the chances of sexual assault on those who work in the industry are reduced, and means that victims of assault are able to pursue legal action against their attackers. Keeping porn legal means that human trafficking is decreased, and it gives victims of human trafficking a legally supported escape route that would be lost if porn were made illegal.

Keeping porn legal means that anyone who is involved in making it - regardless of whether theyre making it simply because they want to, or because they're financially desperate -- is granted a measure of protection that they otherwise would not be. People love to raise the "but porn is made by desperate people who sell their body to survive," but a) some people make porn because they like it, and b) someone who is desperate enough to sell their body will do so regardless of whether it's legal or not. But when it's legal, that desperate person has far more protections and is less likely to be taken advantage of than when it's illegal.

Keeping porn legal protects people. Making it illegal will harm people. It's that simple.

"But it's demeaning!"

That's a you problem. No, really - it's your opinion is that sex work is demeaning, but I've had some really demeaning jobs that were legal and "proper". Just because a job involves sex doesn't mean it has less value than being a salesperson, or an accountant.

To quote the great John Waters.

It should also be noted that, much like how miscarrisges get prosecuted under abortion laws, laws that criminalize being in porn will mean that instead of our current laws punishing people for *distributing* revenge porn, it will punish the people non-consensually *in* revenge porn.

Time to stock up on vibrators and go on a nudes strike (or go full 8C) in solidarity with the likelihood of a porn ban. At this point, giving it away for free is like being a labor scab. And it puts you in danger, personally. Not the kind of giving it away for free the fundies meant, because we ain't taking diamond rings either when they come with tradwife vibes and likely death in childbirth attached.

does it still count as qwerty if you change how many letters are in each row 🤔

[image: a device says "Please enter your password...] The keyboard shown is a six by six grid, except that switch to lower case, backspace, and space bar take up two squares each. The letter keys are in the same order as in the qwerty keyboard layout, except that the ten letters Q W E R T Y U I O P that take up the top row of an ordinary keyboard take up one and two-thirds rows of this grid; the nine letters ordinarily in the home row finish row 2 here, fill 3, and start 4; what is ordinarily the bottom row finishes row 4, with N and M overflowing to row 5 between switch to lower case and backspace; row 6 has space bar at the center, then left and right arrows, with switch to numbers and symbols at far left and enter at far right.]

.

observe please that the original qwerty layout was designed to slow typing speed so the mechanical typewriters it was designed for wouldn't jam and then inertia kept it popular: even now, multiple technological improvements past the point of needing each keystroke to be long enough after the last that each inked stamp bit avoids colliding with the next, mobile device keyboard apps for the Latin alphabet invariably include a qwerty layout option. touch typing isn't possible on most mobile devices, for the similar reason of one's fingers getting in each other's way, but especially for people who only know qwerty, keeping the familiar keyboard layout makes it much easier for users to find each letter quickly. that is, random as the layout may seem, it was designed using user-friendly logic and its use still centers on user-friendly logic today.

contrast whatever the fuck this is.

just overheard my wife spelling something on the phone and i shit you not saying the words “E as in Eeyore” i am on my hands and knees wailing screaming crying pleading and begging people to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet

like the reason this exists is because none of the words sound like each other, which means that even with a terrible signal both parties should be able to clearly understand the words being spelled

i am dead serious that i believe this should be taught in school

gaslighting germans it’s always morally correct

Loved the follow up to this where the neighbor was confronting her about this video and she was gaslighting her neighbor again by askin if all viatnamese people look the same to them

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.

@tearyeyedcat this was beautifully written, thank you for adding it!

pick a name. any name. read their story. realize that what you feel now, they feel everyday, a thousandfold. donate whatever you can. at the very least, reblog if you can't.

there is no excuse not to.

hi everyone. the batter will thicken as the flour hydrates. so start it a tiny bit runny and let it sit ten minutes to idk half an hour and it will be perfect. hydrated flour from rested batter also yields a significantly more tender pancake. peace and love

something has gone deeply wrong when "focusing pragmatically on issues you can influence and working to make life better for yourself and your community" is considered an unserious distraction while "endlessly exposing yourself to media about distressing situations you can't control" is considered political engagement

Hell Yeah

An amazing explanation for smudged ink I came across in an October 1, 1897 letter from Rachel (a teenage girl in finishing school in Philadelphia) to her cousin Jack at Yale.
