What we call health care is not only seen as a private privilege rather than a public good; it's seen as primarily a method of correction for defective bodies. It is neither. It is the prerequisite for all human rights and freedoms: expression, speech, religion, free movement, free association.

What I want to say about Alice is this: we have not decided as a society that we want people like her to live as human beings. Currently, the regime under which she lived & died is closing off the elements that made her extraordinary life possible. Her work is literally being erased.

One-Hour Photo. Only Robin Williams could invoke empathy for a creepy character like Sey, who is a product of childhood sexual abuse. Never condoning his actions, but understanding he is a broken, lonely man. Equal parts gut-wrenching and disturbing.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary. The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with: “Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

If you were concerned about teachers “grooming” kids by acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people, but you’re fine with the GOP hiding the Epstein Files and a president whose name is all over them, you’ve acknowledged what the rest of us have always known…. It was never about protecting. kids.

I am fucking livid today. Please, tell me about something fun you’ve done or are excited to do soon.

I’m dead 🤣

Confirmed yet again Bluesky is run by brown nosing punk bitches

She is so ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Get you a girl who ca do both

Mom, please, I want a redo of this universe.

subscribestar.adult/asylum-ashtear Reminder that I have a subscribestar, which I post kinky content to! A heavy emphasis on medfet, abdl, bondage, asylum kink, performance, spanking, punishment, and discipline.

"nihilist in bio" Oh okay, thanks for letting me know nothing you have to say is worth listening to.

Porn is one of the biggest industries in the world because millions of us get off to it non-stop. Millions of us have favorite porn stars, cam girls, OF creators, whatever. I don't believe most people who deny it. We fucking *love* porn and masturbating, so appreciate the people who make you cum.

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

A combination of acceptability politics, SWERFism, social authoritarianism, and just plain too spineless to speak up got us here.

so many people are lending a hand to fascists when they police each other on "acceptable" nsfw content and get too scared to stand up for sw'ers and artists when the worst thay could happen to them is get called problematic by other puritans

I saw this and thought I'd share it here

All rage aside, I want to remind ya’ll I was recently published in a local comics anthology with my friend Mark Montgomery (@chinamark on Insta). A bunch of other great Jacksonville creators are in it too. Not sure if it’s available online, but contact the store and see. blackcatcomicsjax.com

Any liberal or Democrat who tries to rationalize why Bill Clinton is in the Epstein files needs to be stuffed in a locker.

Death of the author is so ridiculously employed these days by people who absolutely do not want to examine the importance of authorial intent, I’m convinced it’s because they just don’t want to admit when they are wrong.

American Caper issue #1 is available now! Created and written by #GTA and #RedDeadRedemption writer #DanHouser with @radiolazlow , art by @davidalapham - here's my variant cover! By @absurd.ventures @darkhorse.com and edited by the amazing #ShellyBond. #AmericanCaper #comics

“You’ll only be able to live with it for so long, before it takes its toll.” ORLA! #4, from me, @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social, @letteringbear.bsky.social & @madcavestudios.com, is out on 26th November, in TWO WEEKS!

Most recently I trolled a pro-AI guy on Facebook into blocking me. He also believes the government for over a 100 years now has been controlling the weather with machines. Two birds with one stone. I no longer have to hear his pro-AI drivel nor his insane conspiracy drivel.

If that ever becomes the case I’ll happily stick to indie titles that profoundly declare no AI

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act. The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates, donated a tiny fraction of his grotesque wealth to farmers suffering from climate change. If he paid taxes properly he would have been paying billions and billions in taxes. Now he pretends to be generous with the money he owes us all.

What movie villain is a horrible "person", but an absolute joy to watch on screen?

When somebody you detest RT’s one of your posts* *nothing to do with my recent post, just something that happened a week or so ago

“Oh no! The artist I like likes something I don’t like! What do I do?!” …move on. Accept people you admire have different tastes than you, like everybody else.

I will not watch a V For Vendetta show. I will just read the comic. I will insult dumb nerds who still make excuses for DC and how they treat Alan Moore. I will go on as normal.

i am a trans woman and i can 100% confirm that you could easily lure me into a trap using a tasty burger meal

Tough time but I did troll an AI true believer into blocking me. Best anti-depressant!

Zines, comics, and poetry’s what I read today. How ‘bout you?

NSFW zine: we want you to be FREAKY*!!! *except freaky in a, b, c, d, e, f, g...x, y, z ways. those are NOT allowed.

And nobody hates people more than their hardline cheerleaders. Seriously, you see the kind of people on this website making excuses for the leadership? The misanthropy of middle manager-types is unreal.

Do not give the democratic party a dime of your money until Schumer is ousted or steps down.

I think this is true. Democrats previously had the ability to say that voting for them delivered the lesser of two evils. I've long believed that was true. But I was a chump. My senator, Adam Schiff, keeps voting for Trump's nominees. I voted for Schiff. And yet he keeps voting for Trump's agenda.

And further, the Senate Dems now own the shutdown. They essentially take responsibility for it and away from the GOP. They gave everything and got nothing and we all get kicked in the teeth.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

You got to love the Bluesky liberals on here who clearly never struggled making excuses for why Dems have to compromise on the ACA. IT WAS A NO WIN SCENARIO! STOP COMPLAINING YOU PEASANTS!

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHAT I screech while carving off my own face

Me: do not ever recommend AI to me. AI true believer: rambles how AI is the best thing ever um akshually.

This either describes the current politics or a kidney stone, but honestly what’s the difference?

When Grandma gets your ass and you can’t clap back cuz no lies were spoken

the 2 best kinds of tweets are Joyce Carol Oates being shithouse rat insane and Joyce Carol Oates reading someone for filth as only someone who's been writing for over 60 years can do

goth morrigan 🖤 based on @kvwviiju's cosplay of @blushyspicy.bsky.social 's art :P

everyone should be calling your senators LITERALLY THIS INSTANT but if you recognize any of yours on this list you DOUBLEY SO need to call them and specifically CALL THEM. not email not letters. www.congress.gov/members/find...

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.
