saw someone arguing that actual sex workers don't like the nordic model as a criticism of it, and the way they talked made it clear they think the nordic model is supposed to be pro-sex worker and is failing at that. and it's like. no. the nordic model is not pro-sex worker, it's designed to be pro-victim. It's to protect victims (who are largely women and girls!) who are being sexually exploited from being charged with a crime. the nordic model discourages prostitution. of course someone who is trying to make money doing that does not like something that makes it harder.
what is interesting to me about that conversation is the implication that if your prostitution policies seek to basically eradicate sex work as a job and provide everyone with a possibility to do something else for a living, you have done something absolutely inexcusably immoral, awful and terrible. like, never mind that you saved millions of women and girls from lifelong, repeating trauma, but you denied someone of a job they LIKED! how dare you be so cruel!
but. it's just that. ultimately i do not give a fuck if there are a whole ass four of them who L.O.V.E.D. being sex workers but who now have to come up with something else to do to get paid. that is not a crime. that is not against their human rights. that is just the smallest inconvenience in existence. oh no now that slavery is made illegal your slave master has to let you go even though you fiercely LOVE your master family and would have served them to your death!! oh nooo, now that child labor is made illegal you have to stop working even though you LOVED going to the mines everyday! oh nooo, you were planning to sell your kidney so you could buy a car but now it is illegal, what will you do!!! it was your dream, what will you do!!!
it's almost as if these people think sex workers identify as sex workers, that it is an inherent, innate part of who they truly are, and if you tell them to do something else, they will lose their most important means of self-expression or something. like you denied them the entire idea of having sex altogether.
and that's a haunting thought if you stop to think about it for a second. but then again, these people are usually the same ones that say any regulation against porn equals to masturbation being made illegal.
they have a vested interest in making sex about all sorts of things except sex itself.
People be like. Wealthy women might be able to get abortions by travelling thousands of miles, paying bribes, and living in fear of the cause of their trip being discovered. Hence they are not oppressed ❌ I am very intelligent 🧠
You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still
I keep thinking this! very frustrating
fuck!
they really don't make Bigass Cabinet For Computer anymore. we were at the used furniture warehouse the other day & they had so many. that's the way things should be. lock away that wretched machine when you're done looking at it
Lock That Fucking Thang Up
like the betrayal’s always going to be worse if they cared about you and it didn’t matter. someone discards you because they didn’t give a shit, then you can be angry about that, you can feel vindicated in that, you can get over it. but if they can look you in the eyes and say “I love you. I would make the same choice again.” You will never sleep peacefully again, is all.
“I thought they cared about me, but they were lying this whole time.” <- tired. boring. removes all the nuance of this relationship to make it easier to move on from.
“I thought they cared about me, and I was right, and every minute they were there for me, every time they said they were proud, every laugh we shared leaning against each other bruised and breathless, all of it was real. and they still left me behind. They could put their love aside. I couldn’t.” <- insane. will never leave you alone. reminds you that even the worst people are still people and can still care about even the ones they hurt the most and that undoes neither the harm nor the love.
always funny when i find i can't reblog a post because the op, who i've never interacted with, has me blocked. i guess they were just too weak to handle obnoxious & pedantic opinions delivered in a mean & needlessly aggressive posting style huh. oh well, haters gonna hate,
I think perhaps the only way in which queer people have achieved true parity with straight people is that queer romantasy is just as bad.
RIP to the legend
This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:
He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.
“her feminism focuses on women and not gender” oh well thank god
but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually
still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah
sorry im not done gatsbyposting. the nyc celebrations for its 100th anniversary are so uniquely deranged. like here you have a book that absolutely scathes new york parties & dress-up & entertainment & alcohol & careless wealthy east coast elites. and the way the city is celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of the most beautifully written & personally devastating literary tragedies this country has ever produced is by. offering 10% off gatsby-themed cocktails at luxury bars. hosting pay-to-attend 1920s themed costume balls in the wealthiest areas of midtown. setting up penthouse hotel suites to ostensibly resemble locations from the book. a few hours ago at an exclusive private event they had the cast of the glamorous broadway musical, all in designer clothes, light up the empire state building green to advertise their show where tickets cost up to $670. one of them said the green light ‘represents the beauty of the american dream.’ i think you could power all manhattan with energy generated from the rotational torque of f scott fitzgerald spinning wildly in his grave
anyhow i celebrated this international holiday by leaving work early & dressing up & driving north five and a half miserable hours to see the empire state lit up green because this was a true once in a lifetime event & this book changed my life & i wanted to celebrate a character i loved and mourned & see a glittering green light shining on the water & reach for it like dreamers do. but even though all the websites and blogs i could find told me it would be green on the 11th—that it would blaze green all night on the 11th, and i triple checked each one—by the time i got there at 8:15 pm they’d turned it off. and the parties had happened thursday night, not friday. so i ended up alone & exhausted & rain-drenched & freezing & quite frankly absolutely crying my eyes out on the shore across from the city, just fucking stupidly sobbing above the water, wishing i could go back just a little way into the past. and THATS how you do gatsby. ill kill you all
if you don’t reblog this post im gonna explode
Serious explanation here: she's teaching them the instinct of being alert around enclosure openings! For example, if these were wild cats living in a bush, they'd run the risk of a larger predator running up to the opening and grabbing one of them. The mother cat is also only bapping them lightly without claws, so those slaps are more of an annoyance meant to get the kittens' attention, and to teach them to keep their eyes out for potential threats.
also slapping him is fummny

Why does the Women's Hockey Team, the stronger and cooler US Olympic Hockey Team, simply not eat the men's team?
I love that people brought the Walter cup out with fucking white gloves on, and they announced how it's pure silver whatever, and then these dirtbag jocks immediately filled the thing with beer and did lesbian communion with it
