I'll get around 7 notes per post

Middle-aged magical girl.

She's been defending the Earth since the early 90s and she's very tired.

My name is Tominaga Haruka. I was chosen by a magical talking animal, and for the last 29 years I've been Earth's one and only... Wonder-Sparkle Princess.

she's been fighting the same villains for three decades and they are also tired of it. Most of them aren't giving it their all. Half of them are in a groupchat they've added her to where they schedule their evil plans to make sure they don't interfere with each other, or more importantly, with *her* Xalkrax the space demon from outer space decided to attack the city when she was taking her vacation time once, and now he's dead, because even the power of friendship and redemption can't save you if you interrupt her rare vacations

Demon Queen Eluria: Gonna fill the city people's hearts with hatred on thursday to cause mayhem and discord.

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: Can't, got a PTA meeting.

Demon Queen Eluria: Friday?

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: A birthday party.

Demon Queen Eluria: Damn. How about I fill just the mayor's heart with hatred then?

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: That'd be redundant, lol. Maybe fill his heart with a desire to fix the fucking potholes?!

Demon Queen Eluria: LMFAO love you, bitch. Stay strong.

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: You too, gurl. How's the husband? Still dead?

Demon Queen Eluria: Yep. Thanks for that, btw.

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: Don't mess with my time off :p

Why are people tagging this '#wonder sparkle princess' like that's a thing and not a name I made up exclusively for this post?

This fucking post I made 9 years ago was honestly slept on

The Tesla logo looks like an IUD and broadly speaking serves the same function: nobody’s getting pregnant with that thing around

reddit post (dnd subreddit): hi im a dnd player and for some reason i almost exclusively play female characters even though im (ugh) a guy. should i be questioning my gender?

every comment: DONT question your gender. you are doing theater of the mind or whatever. DONT. you dare. question your gender. youre NORMAL. this is a completely normal thing to do.

one comment: i mean. thinking about how you feel and your gender is always a good thing. and u kind of seem like you want permission to think about transitioning rn tbh.

replies to that comment: erm. i play girl characters every chance i get dumbass. and im a masculine totally masculine guy. i just want to play as somebody else every chance i get. its called acting. idiot. i just dont feel comfortable being myself in any roleplay scenario. just like the op. and im normal. normal normal normal normal normal n

The comment gets several hundred downvotes and is consequently hidden from view, while the reply gets awards and upvotes.

That picture of Biden looking at a quantum computer and being unable to grasp the true form of what he's seeing

To be fair that's how I would I react too

I do sincerely love that Quantum Computers look exactly like what a 1950's sci-fi movie prop artist would build if they were told to build something called a "quantum computer"

i love this shit i need more examples

op of the original tweet here there are SO many examples in the replies

Furries are the last hope for our wretched society and every furry is braver than any marine and they deserve respect

They’re the Borgias and they the Borgheses and literally allowing mountains of modern visual artists(genius or otherwise) to work in their desired field for a living because they pay and they pay WELL so these amazing people don’t have to waste their time and talent in unrelated or corporate fields.

We have works we don’t even know are treasures because furries will shell out for graphic porn of themselves on the reg.

@toc1n0 thanks im losing my goddamn mind

FURRIES👏ARE👏THE👏PATRON-GENTRY👏OF👏THE👏21st👏CENTUNRY👏

That last addition was like looking up just in time to see the piano fall on you in a cartoon.

TIL anyone who's going to overwinter in Antarctica has to have had their appendix out. Because removing an appendix that's not causing any trouble just as a precaution is way better than having one that's about to burst when you're on the ass-end of the planet with no way to be rushed to a hospital if shit gets real.

No, by the way, we absolutely did not think of this ahead of time. A dude named Leonid Rogozov got appendicitis in Antarctica. Fortunately, the expedition's doctor diagnosed him quickly and knew how to remove an appendix. Unfortunately, our man Leo was the expedition's doctor.

What did he do? Well, he set up a mirror, gave his belly a shot of novocaine, presumably told a colleague, "hold my vodka," and he removed his own fucking appendix. He survived.

this picture has such "i lived bitch" energy

They explored each other's bodies in pioneering, dangerous ways.

The act of simply watching people have sex is itself morally neutral. That's all porn is.

it isn’t, though. sorry if I’m missing a joke here but… it really, really isn’t.

It is. There is nothing wrong with watching people have sex. The morality of it depends on the context (buying porn from sex workers to watch is good, revenge porn is bad, for example), but watching people fuck? That's morally neutral. It's just watching some activities.

Almost all porn is abuse, you know that right? Most women in porn are drugged and then raped.

Even if she were paid, it would still be coercive, similarly to prostitution. You cannot buy women, or their consent. That immediately creates a coercive force that makes the consent invalid.

Ok so first of all you're lying. That is not how most porn works at all.

Regarding economic coercion, that's called having a job. But also I promise you there is a world of difference between trying to buy a person (for the love of fuck will you people ever aknowledge its not only women in porn and work conditions are a concern for EVERYONE involved) and someone making a career in porn.

Also re read what I said because you have said nothing that argues against what im saying AT ALL.

The way these people talk about sex workers genuinely makes me sick. Sex workers are not being bought, they are not owned by people paying them. They are compensated for their services or performance, like every other worker. They own themselves no matter what. They deserve dignity and respect and their work not being described in such horrible fucking ways.

And it's genuinely fucked up to tell people what they can and cannot consent to tbh? You don't get to choose that for others and then try to say you genuinely care about consent. You just want to control people.

Absolutely right. We are people, we own ourselves, we decide what we do and don't want to do. Honestly if I attach the criteria of pay and a camera to my consent, denying me that is no less fucked up than forcing that on me.

Puritanical christians/radfems and rapists/traffickers are two sides of the same coin and all ultimately working towards the goal of ruining people's lives for their own benefit.

Also, it needs to be repeated again that stigmatization of sex work leaves trafficking victims trapped. They are now in an even more socioeconomically disadvantaged position than before because no one will want to help an "icky porn star" who is being exploited.

To help trafficked and coerced sex workers we necessarily must end the demonization of sex work or else you are giving traffickers the literal tools to force unwilling people into it!

One of my family members was sex trafficked. Her case became a part of state legal precedent because her trafficker's conviction resulted in an expanded definition of one of the terms used to define trafficking (kept vague for the sake of my family's anonymity.) You know what one of the biggest barriers was to her getting help?

The fact that everyone she reached out to saw her as a stupid meth head "whore" and not a person who was fucking afraid for her life.

If society had shown sex workers some basic amount of decency, she might have had the social standing to get help sooner.

remember: a big part of what "sex work is work" means is "let sex workers have workers' protections"

I got to see a change in the criminal law, in real time, that shifted the window on how sex workers are treated in my state. Agencies that tended to treat them as perpetrators, even when they were victims, had their behavior changed the most. But even the more progressive police departments, and of course any number of labor- and benefit-related agencies, also got a few notches more understanding and accepting.

TL;DR: sex workers are people, sex work is work, and the road to utopia is paved with extremely boring legislation and administrative decisions.

And amazind demonstration of how you cannot discuss a neutral act without immediately getting bogged down with people trying to discuss (or more often, condemn) specific instances of that act.

OP said "watching people have sex, which is what porn is, is itself morally neutral. It depends on the circumstances".

And immediately, someone showed up to declare that all circumstances are bad. And although everyone's rebuttals have been very good, that person has effectively derailed the whole thread, because here it is, one and a half months and half a dozen reblogs later, still busy rebuking thata point which completely missed OPs point.

That’s literally jiji
