as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

that everybody has the exact same skill in artistry, but I'm saying that every artist deserves the opportunity to pursue their artistic passion.

And I know that there's universities but if you're broke, you're really limited to books and videos.

Look, I fear I'm coming to a point. Art should be a subsidized industry by the government, because it inherently improves the quality of life of the people who practice it. I'm not saying

But I'm lucky that sewing was cheap to get resources to learn. And that it generally pays for itself in its utility to lessen costs. What if I want to learn sculpture? What if I want to learn calligraphy? What if I want to learn more about history and study the lifestyle of people long dead?

have been even better if somebody had been there to explain in person how I should move my hands.

Anyway, nobody is going to give me a job as a tailor. And no employer is going to ask if I can sew for any other kind of position. But it makes me happy to know. I feel more fulfilled.

Okay I know somebody is gonna say, youtube or khan academy or something, but like, you don't get your hands working on stuff by just consuming online content. When I started sewing, I could barely learn from online videos, but having a book and the materials in hand was way easier. And it would

I want to learn how to develop film photography without investing 2000 dollars into cameras, film, chemicals, and construction to make a darkroom. There should be educational resources for people to learn interesting skills that don't necessarily make them more employable, but improves their lives.

but I've never seen it. Anyway holy shit how long have I been typing? I'm so sorry but I have been turnt around by that edible.

But this is specifically how it works with authors in the "Omegaverse" genre.

But like, what I'm saying is, somebody could probably make an interesting splash in the scene if they made erotic videos or photos and had like, behind the scenes production stuff. This probably already exists somewhere

right about a lot of their grievances, and joins their gang. And of course, with this series being in the omegaverse, all the other members of the crime band are hot men and the formerly no-nonsense FBI agent is absolutely obliterated by them in bed every night. The author is great conversation.

they want to inspire in your imagination. I watch a livestream from an author who has a series about a hardened, bitter FBI agent who gets put on her medical leave and gets kidnapped by a team of criminal anarchists while on vacation. She eventually realizes that the anarchists are actually

But erotic art is so fascinating and I'm so interested in the production behind making art in the modern day.

I often spend time talking shop with authors of published erotica, and my friends in that space talk about how they plot out their stories, the literary influences they have, what effect

You know, I've wondered why sex workers or erotic filmmakers don't put out more educational content. Like, I took filmography and photography in high school, there's a lot of specific tricks to enhance the appeal of a good shot. Maybe I'm just not in the right online spaces to see those things.

I'm a bit stoned at the moment, so I thought you were saying this about Piglet of the Pooh fame. I'm horrified that people would disrespect an animal trying to make her life better, but people are wretched about other people, let alone beloved pets. I hope Piglet only knows fun, sleep, and love.

No we should definitely tilt the playing field against the fascist party. There's a pretty strong case that we should de facto ban the Republican Party.

As gay Moses put it, "let my people sashay away"

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

FUCK AI!

By the way, I don't know how to say this without feeling I'm being inappropriate/blunt, but you're an absolute artist with your chosen medium and I think you have a great eye for posing, photography, audio, the whole nine yards.

I'm a gay man but I think your work is really impressive.

Happy belated 4/20 btw

I was about to go off on a spiel about how AI is the only fraud big enough to prop up the entire global economy (temporarily), but then I was like, you know what? I'm supposed to be commiserating about the hassles of posting porn on the internet, I should lighten up a little. I am just so stoned rn

But didn't you hear? They're programming with Claude now, it's impossible for AI to fuck shit up on a massive scale!

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

drew an egg

No no, that's perfect! I would much rather have like 4 options than a single one. I just recently moved to Toronto so I'll look up the next radio broadcast of a blue jays game!

Thank you!

In case you needed further incentive to vote YES on Tuesday:

This is what the #BraveOfUs do - stand with and for truth, for life, for liberty.

Virginia, don’t forget to vote YES tomorrow(4/21)!

my phone is listening to me at all times. and don't tell me it's just for key phrases like "hey Google" sorry no it's a fucking traitor honestly and it's lucky I like it enough to let it coexist with me despite everything. I will never trust it with secrets

Can you tell me where I should go to listen to sports games? I want to get into sports, but like... it's not a priority, so if I could just put on Sports Radio or something and listen to a game while I do the dishes I'd really appreciate that
