Porn actually gave an illustration of how to have sex. Not just where the body parts go, but things like foreplay and consent. It also helped me realize the desirability of many types of bodies. It was comforting for me, a fat person, who was often made ro feel like I wasn’t.

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The moral of the story is that Hell is being stuck in a decrepit old school with the most toxic club kids while high as balls.

Also, it's no wonder Gaspar Noe had Dario Argento star in VORTEX, 'cause this movie is him advertising he's a huge Argento fanboy.

He went for a little kid, so I put my car in drive and lurched forward just enough to spook him, but instead he accidentally hit himself in the face with the chainsaw. The alarm work me up just as he fell to the ground.

I had a dream last night where I was in my parents’ neighborhood, and I witnessed a man on the street going ballistic and starting fights with anyone who crossed his path. Eventually, he went inside and brought back out a chainsaw which he used as a weapon.

If you’re a lefty who complains about “identity politics”, I think you might just be an asshole.

And no, slapping the word “liberal” onto it doesn’t distinguish it from the same right wing crap.
