While we’re talking about censorship, I need everyone to stop playing this little amnesia game where we pretend not to remember what internet and fandom has looked like for the past 20 years. Weird and taboo porn has always existed, it used to be a LOT easier to access, and you won’t die if you look at it. We simply cannot continue placating the crazy mob of people who are scared of sex and love overstating harm, they’ll call you a pedophile literally no matter what, and they’ll roll around in their cognitive dissonance like a hog in mud when you point out that the other group calling you a freak and a pedo are the conservative alt right. Fucking exhausting being a fag and a pervert in 2025.
an underrecognised tragedy of AI slop isn’t just that any piece of contemporary art could be AI, any news reel could be AI, it’s that now just any video of something vaguely nice and whimsical happening in the world could be AI
this is about the trampoline bunnies
“lol if you just look closely you can tell when somethi–” silence nerd, the problem is that i don’t want to have to approach everything nice wondering if the devil is trying to deceive me
bringing this over from twitter bc this person literally gets it. watching su for the first time i was literally shocked by how wonderfully toxic the yuri was there. thank you women 🙏
one of the most frustrating things about getting a job is that after you go through the absolute hellscape that is applying and interviewing and you finally prove yourself worthy of having employment, you’ll end up in the workforce and realise that 90% of the people with jobs are not actually very good at them. so like why was all of that even so hard
kamala harris promised to be more harsh on immigration than trump she promised to have the most “lethal” military force in the world (whatever the fuck that means compared to what we already have) she said she had no interest in protecting trans people on a federal level and she spent her last year in office lying to the public about a ceasefire she was not working towards while thousands of men women and children were slaughtered not to mention saying she wouldn’t do a single thing differently than biden who not only green lit a genocide but also vastly increased the budgets for both ice and the police all while the democratic party spent months talking about how freedom of speech has become a problem that needs dealing with.. liberals don’t have a problem with evil they have a problem with a perceived lack of decorum
There’s a book that we had in our house growing up that I was obsessed with as a kid. It was just called “PAKISTAN: PAINTINGS BY LIN YONG AND SU HUA” and it was an art book of 100+ paintings/sketches by two Chinese artists who travelled thru Pakistan in 1978 and 1981, a sort of travelogue of their trip, and to little-kid me, it was some of the most beautiful things I’d ever seen. I have no idea why we had that book, but I would stare at it for hours, and it made me wish I could draw/paint/do whatever it was that these artists had managed to do.
Anyway, we’ve moved house a bunch of times and I lost track of the book and haven’t seen it for probably two decades now. But I think about it now and again, and had struggled to find it over the years, but I finally, finally got my hands on a copy of my own and i want to cry haha
I was afraid that maybe the art isn’t as good as I remembered, being just a kid and all, but I cracked it open and nope, it hits me just the way it used to. Maybe even more now. It’s so fucking pretty. Have some random pages:
