If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

People who start reading a multi-chapter fic and leave a little comment on EVERY CHAPTER in real time, as they read it, are the pillars of fandom culture, and no one will ever convince me otherwise

if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

Consensual Non-Consent In Real Life

A 3 panel comic

Panel 1: Kink Negotiation

Blushing Person: I was thinking maybe we could try out some CNC play...

Person #2: Yeah, we can totally try that out, sweetie! We should plan out what we're willing to do!

Panel 2: "The Scene"

Person #2: The sex pollen.... it's... taking over. I... I can't...Hnngg....

Blushing Person: Noo! Please, you have to snap out of it!

Panel 3: Aftercare
Blushing Person: Thanks so much, that was fun. Let's do it again sometime.

[end of comic]

"The Scene" is the fantasy within a CNC framework.

Some fictional works tell a story depicting two (or more) characters following the process of doing CNC kink, just as they would in real life: Consent discussion, Kink negotiation, “The Scene", and Aftercare.

[image of a blushing person reading the above comic]

Some fictional works focus on “The Scene only. A framing device is not required, as the fantasy is contained fully within the story. This lets the reader engage in the kink the same way as if they were engaging in “The Scene" portion of the CNC play.

[image of a blushing person reading only “The Scene” panel from the above comic]

CNC play, and both sorts of fiction are normal and healthy!

remember! you arent calling representatives to change hearts and minds, youre calling in order to INTIMIDATE them through sheer numbers into backing down on dumbass censorship bills.

politician's aides literally give them a spreadsheet on how many constituents call to oppose/support bills.

I'm in Texas and I do it because it does matter. There's a lot of dissent across the board right now. Your reps being red isn't an excuse, it's more reason to take 3 minutes and say some words at their receptionist

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.”

These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

Detained father calls daughters from Broadview ICE facility, says he's held in room with 150 men

Rosalio Pelayo Salgado was detained on Sept. 10. His daughter said he described being called slurs and having his anxiety medication taken away.

Official US president comms people using "start a Substack" as an insult...The Wirecutter doing a review of boxed mac in their obsessive house style...lots of ends times vibes culturally

Clip from Vulture article: Has Trump said anything else?
In response to a request for comment, the White House insisted this was not a First Amendment issue and doubled down on criticism of Kimmel.

“This has nothing to do with free speech — low-ratings loser Jimmy Kimmel is free to make whatever bad jokes he wants, but a private company is under no obligation to lose money producing an unpopular show. Kimmel’s ratings have declined over 63% since his show moved to its current timeslot and he has lost over 43% of his total audience since President Trump returned to office,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement. “Jimmy Kimmel’s terrible product isn’t a free speech problem; it’s a talent problem. He is welcome to go start a substack like all the other low-ratings losers!”

Wirecutter mac review excerpt: Despite its mass-produced reputation, Kraft Mac & Cheese Original had one of the more appealing yellow hues of the elbows we tested, a welcome color compared with the radioactive orange of Goodles Cheddy Mac.

The sauce was glossy, smooth, and thin without being runny, clinging to each noodle. It’s not especially cheesy but tastes like butter with a suggestion of cheese. A faint sweetness emphasizes the dairy flavor, and a notable acidity balances it all out.

The texture was creamy without any of the starchiness that we detected in some of the competition, and it ultimately tasted like the ideal of boxed mac and cheese. “Obsessed,” said one tester.

Kraft Mac & Cheese was also a favorite among our kid testers, with many of them noting its creaminess and the softness of each bite, owed to noodles that offer almost no resistance. One even asked for seconds, “because it’s good and so yummy.”

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.
