If you do hardcore porn and you think you're better than someone who does full service sex work then you're a fool and a traitor.

If you do tastefully suggestive lingerie pics and you think you're better than someone who does full service sex work then you're a fool and a traitor.

If you're a barista and you think you're better than someone who does full service sex work then you're a fool and a traitor.

People that do full service sex work are cool as fuck!

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

1) any stretching is better than no stretching

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

teenagers aren’t the vanguards of the pro-censorship movement. the closest thing that happens to this is that bad actors who are adults exploit teenagers’ age-appropriate discomfort with violent and sexual art to incite internet stochastic terrorism campaigns. but even this happens far less often than adults just silencing children and pretending to be speaking for them by proxy.

[pizzaback]

i hate the misuse of the term “puritanism” in this context but the idea of teens (“puriteens”) being the principle driving demographic behind this cultural trend is genuinely pretty fucking insulting, considering adults who use kids and teens as a cudgel (“think of the children!”) are actually the people driving movements toward censorship.

if you see criticism of racism within your community as criticism of the community as a whole then you have a racist community. sorry.

like I didn’t hate vegans before all this and ultimately I still don’t because a bunch of annoying white people with their heads up their own asses aren’t enough to convince me to abandon my principles. but this hasn’t left me with a stellar impression of the community on here I’ll be fucking honest. I think you all suck shit and you need to keep “decolonization” and “indigenous vegans” out of your fucking vocabulary until you can learn to actually listen to Native people

i think it's interesting and very, very intentional that Sinners has specifically an Irish person as the symbol of oppression. Something something, "oppressing someone who's farther down the line than you so you can hope to climb a system that, in reality, is not interested in you being anywhere than you are". if this is a bunk reading, i'm very sorry!

It's not a bunk reading! That is an intentional choice, the point in fact. Of someone from a group who could have- were he not a vampire, but that's symbolism- come and built community with his Black peers so that he, too, could reconnect with his ancestors and descendants. Because he lost his to the British! He lost his humanity and his people and his culture to the violence of white supremacy similarly. What he yearned for is something we as Black people could sympathize with, as a people who had to create an entirely new culture because ours was violently ripped away from us.

But instead of, ya know, doing that... Remmick (the Irish Americans), both literally and symbolically chose to take advantage of the existing violent system towards Black people to get a leg up. He was going to get what HE wanted, he was going to feel the power and community that HE wanted, be damned who he had to destroy to get it. As evidenced by him knowing that the two white folks he killed were aspiring Klan (if not already) but lying dead at the door that they weren't. He just did the same thing the British did to him, to us.

It doesn't make him not a victim of violence! But it does show that he made a CHOICE to continue to enact that violence on others to assuage his own loss.

i need everyone to get into college football right now i am dying to talk about the texas tech situation. this is the kind of thing that will be referenced for the next 100 years. there will be documentaries and biopics about this.

[hellallamerican]

no one asked but here

texas tech's quartback, brendan sorsby, was investigated for sports gambling. i know sports betting is all the rage right now, but athletes themselves are not allowed to do it. it is Rule Number 1 and it is the highest priority rule for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), who governs all athletic programs at about 1,100 colleges in the US.

the invesitagetion of sorsby revealed that, not only did he place more than 9,000 sports bets when he himself was a collegiate athlete, but 40 of those bets were AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM when he was playing at indiana university. immediately, this threatens the integrity of the sport, and especially because indiana is the hottest team right now as the defending national champion.

the NCAA, which is largely a sham organization these days (they've truly lost their grasp and college athletics are the wild west now) actually enforced their Number 1 Rule and told sorsby his career is over, that he would never play college football again (and, subsequently, that he would never get drafted into the NFL because his college career was cut short).

well, because the NCAA is a husk of its former self, sorsby and texad tech immediately took this to court. MANY athletes have learned these past few seasons that if you can find a judge who's a fan of your team, you can get any NCAA ruling overturned. that's exactly what texas tech did. they filed a suit in Lubbock, where the university is located and where every judge is an alum of texas tech. so sorsby was granted an injunction and will now only be suspended for the first 2 games od the 2026 season (which are alwayd against no-name teams that will be destroyed regardless of who's suspended).

every other school in the country immediately went on the defensive because this is a very clear integretiy issue. so nebraska and georgia (sic em dawgs) released statements saying that all currently-scheduled competitions witb Texas Tech in ANY sport will be canceled and there will be no future schedulings. at least 3 of the major conferences (SEC, Big 10, Big 12) , who account for almost all division 1 sports teams in the country, are also in discussions about cancelling comtests. Texas Tech is part of the Big 12, and there is serious talk of all other teams in the conference shutting texas tech out.

now would probably be time where i say that texas tech is one of the wealthiest programs in college football becaise there is a single billionaire alumnus pouring money into the program with hopes of essentially buying a championship. so texas techs integrity has always been questionable. anyway, the university president put oit a statement that he doesnt care that sorseby violated regulation and that texas tech will sue any school that refuses to play them because it jeopardizes their championship prospects if they're umable to play any games.

this is all just startomg but its so juicy and delicious. the NCAA is going to crumble to dust if they cannot get this injunction overturned. schools like georgia and nebraska have plenty of money so a suit isnt necessarily a concern, but this will absolutely change college football forever. i cant stop reading about it.

update on this: texas tech is claiming that every school who has/is considering cancelling all contests is "afraid" that texas tech is better than them. what's funny about this is that sorsby's stats are average. he is not good enough for this kind of protection. many schools who have already cancelled or are considering it have much better quarterbacks than sorsby. also, texas tech's head coach had said that it's actually ok that sorsby bet against his own team because it "its not murder or assault."

[hellallamerican]

the attorney general of texas has threatened to investigate the Big 12 conference if they sanction Texas Tech

[hellallamerican]

the claim is now that texas texh university just cares so much about brendan sorsbys mental health that they have to sue everyone who calls this an integrity violation. any other school who wouldnt defend an athlete that committed this violation "doesnt care about mental health"
