An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, leaving you with no excuse whatsoever to keep wearing that Hufflepuff scarf, sources have reported.

Jack Harrington, 38, grew up reading the popular children’s stories, and soon developed an intense fascination with the world of the books, including knowing all about the suspiciously depicted money-hungry goblins, and that one time it was revealed that slavery is commonplace and accepted in the wizarding world.

In spite of this, however, Harrington has recently worked to redirect his interest towards media created by someone less troublingly focused on his friends’ genitalia.

“It was hard to do,” Harrington said. “I really love collecting things, and there’s so much merchandise to collect! But once I realised that it’s possible to collect things in a way that doesn’t make it harder for my mates to go for a piss when out and about, it really was a no-brainer.”

At the time of publication, Harrington was marvelling at the sheer amount of fiction available in the world that doesn’t actively contribute to material harm, and questioning whether you specifically really need that copy of Hogwarts Legacy for your PS5.

Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)

So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.

EU withheld a study that shows piracy doesn't hurt sales - Engadget

In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU

Study Again Shows 'Pirates' Tend to Be The Biggest Buyers of Legal Content

A new report out of the UK once again deflates the common narrative that pirates are exclusively looking to obtain free stuff.

One interesting element of being a part of a conversation consisting of multiple ADHD people is the backtracking. At some point you realise you're all talking about granny oil wrestling or trying to remember what lobster blood is made of, and you all just go "wait, how the fuck did we get here?" and then you all start retracing your steps to figure out what you had been talking about before, and how it led to this one, until you get back to how you jumped from normal conversations to how one would logistically arrange an ostrich brothel.

genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almos

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.

they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.

would you be open to explaining a little more on the difference between decriminalizing vs legalizing sex? i know there’s a distinction and i read your tags on another ask but I’d love to know more/why decriminalizing is better. no worries if not i know ur not a teacher lol

the long and short of it is that legalization means gov/police involvement whereas decrim means we are free to work without fear of penalty. to be blunt cops rape and murder us a lot so any path that reduces our exposure to them is a safer one for us. on top of that you can look at legal brothels in places like nevada and see pretty clearly that involvement of the law has not protected those workers from exploitation just locked them into narrower avenues. dont even get me started on the nordic model. in a city where its decriminalized my professional peers and I have a lot more options in terms of how we meet clients, how we keep ourselves safe and how we charge.

I worked in this city before it was decriminalized. the spa I worked at was raided by cops ( who had already been paid off) at least 3 times while I was there. the weight off my shoulders being able to work without the fear of state sanctioned assault and ending up an 'NHI' hanging over me is priceless.

here's a resource that isnt just one guy speaking from experience though

if you support sex workers advocate for decriminalization not legalization ty<3

[grimygrimygrimy]

hi you should reblog this btw especially if you consider yourself someone who supports sex workers

"someone who really has pOCD would be disgusted and horrified at their intrusive thoughts" or maybe i'm in therapy & am going by the books, being radically ambivalent to my intrusive thoughts instead of wasting energy mentally washing my paws of sin. i'm not going to perform my rock bottom for you for the sake of being believed.

"I won't perform my rock bottom for you for the sake of being believed" is going straight into my permanent storage holy shit

most of my criticisms of transgendervoicesproject were me linking to things she said on her own blog, so of course she can't address those directly or else she'll draw attention to the many very valid things she is being criticized for. so instead she just has to keep ramping up her campaign to get my blog deleted

so if my blog vanishes before I can properly come back then. well it's been nice knowing yall lol 🫶

[mousidy]

she has now started liberally breaking her own rule against references to specific names and usernames, throwing the doors open for any terf who feels like it to AI generate an accusation against any specific trans woman they hate and chuck it anonymously into her askbox. the rules she copied from transfem voices project existed for a reason

[clowngirlcreampie]

while I'm at it we really do need to be nicer to fat trans girls

[clowngirlcreampie]

there is probably a good reason she's still wearing the clothes she did in highschool is all I'm saying

[clowngirlcreampie]

buy her clothes. give her flowers. tell her she's pretty don't just keep those thoughts to yourself.

[werewolf-transgenderism]

this is fucking killing me bro. computah, show me more hot hockey firefighters whaling on cops

[knightanddaybae]

Ah Paretta. Never change. This dude starts fights and wins every year that he plays in the charity game. And better yet, he doesn't just pick a random cop that's playing. He specifically spends all year researching which ones have beat their spouses or are being investigated for corruption, then mocks them and eggs them on social media for like 6 months straight just to make sure they know ahead of time they're getting their ass beat.
