Does anyone happen to know (or is anyone) a digital artist who'd be willing to discuss their education / career with me, to help me counsel a young man (17) about post-HS possibilities? Especially helpful might be someone autistic or otherwise neuroatypical.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

Why is sex-as-punishment or sex-as-suffering elevated as art, but as soon as you see characters having sex for the pure pleasure of it, it's immediately dismissed? Why do we have so many graphic depictions of sexual assault and sexual trauma and so very few of sexual fulfillment? Rly makes u think

I hate those fucking things. A flash of claustrophobia every time I go through, esp. if they've also installed the spiky steel walls around. Sincere blessings to every fare evader -- the more of this shit the MTA wastes our $ on, the more success I wish you all.

This is such a stupid use of taxpayer money.
