Alcina Dimitrescu being an absolute womanizer in her jazz days.

Just singing in cabarets, bars, speakeasies, making eyes at every single lady in the place from up on stage in some slinky flapper dress and pearls or neglegé and feather boa.

Later she takes them to her room, some one by one, others a few at a time and just.

It's always a shock to the person who comes in to get her for her next performance, because the room is a mess and whatever young thing in there is just stuttering and flitting about the room making excuses, haphazardly getting dressed and Alcina’s just laying in bed, still naked and smoking a cigarette, watching her with the most amused look on her face.

Once the woman is gone and it's just Alcina and whomever at the door, she'll stand and stretch languidly, groaning as she does and another woman will stir in the bed from under the covers grasping for the warmth of the body that was just there.

The whole scene unfolds in seconds and the person at the door, now the color of a boiled lobster, just blinks, nods, reminds Alcina she's on in 20 minutes, leaves and shuts the door.

MOTHERFUCKERS THIS HIT 500 NOTES

Thank you!!!!

Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore

[gramarye]

feminism has backslid so hard in recent years people don't even know what free the nipple means anymore

[briwhosaysni]

To clarify for those who don't know, "free the nipple" isn't about going braless, it's about going topless

No shirt, no bra, completely bare torso, just like cis men are allowed to

It's about desexualizing breasts and "female presenting nipples" and not being criminalized for our bodies if we want to go topless because it's a million damn degrees out. This was a popular growing movement that was still widely known a decade ago!

And the fact that not wearing a bra is so discouraged and stigmatized that people think the movement was about being able to go braless under your shirt in public rather than about being able to not wear a shirt at all says a lot about how far we've backslid in the past decade

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

[ragsy]

How to "get it":

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

marriage before thirties is so insane because you're barely a person yet

[knifefightscene]

divorce before thirties however is chic beyond comprehension

[rootkit]

the way he spilled...

[dappercyborg]

The Simpson literally made a joke about this in 1997 this is a settled issue, stop giving power back to straight people

[youn8ss]

calling yourself homophobic slurs is just doing homophobic people’s job for them, you’re proving them right by identifying within it.

[rootkit]

cry about it to some other faggot then please

[rootkit]

they deleted... my impact

[tar-black-eyes]

Queer and faggot are our words. I’ve loved being called both since I came out (21 years ago.) I stopped bullies from having power with a word. And it changed how others were treated after me.

[jungwildeandfree]

and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.

If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.

[jungwildeandfree]

This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.

[periodicallypurple]

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.

No. I'm fine, really. I'm just ugly crying about Carroll crater. A bright spot on the far side of the moon. I'm fine. I'll stop crying eventually.

This is why I have no sympathy whatsoever for anti-intellectuals who complain when discussion posts use too much academic language. "You can't expect me to whip out a dictionary every time you post—" BITCH I LOOKED UP "AHEGAO" FOR YOU. OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART.

Tennessee librarian fired after refusing to move more than 100 books out of kids' section

A Tennessee library board has voted to remove its top librarian after she refused to carry out an order to relocate more than 100 LGBTQ-them

Article date: April 1, 2026

From the article:

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A Tennessee library board has voted to remove its top librarian after she refused to carry out an order to relocate more than 100 LGBTQ-themed books. The Rutherford County Library Board voted 8-3 Monday night to fire library system director Luanne James. The decision followed a dispute over moving the books from the children’s section to the adult section. Board members said the material promotes “gender confusion.” James had pushed back on that directive, saying the move would violate First Amendment protections and go against her professional responsibility. “I stand by my decision and I will not change my mind,” James said during the meeting. After the vote, her attorney read a statement on her behalf calling the firing unlawful. “Librarians should not be used as a filter for political agendas,” the statement said. “I stood up for the right to read, standing for the citizens of Rutherford County.”

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

“More than fifty research and development facilities across thirty-one states. Gone. Consolidated into a single location in Fort Collins, Colorado. And ‘consolidated’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, because what it actually means is that decades of place-based, long-term ecological research—the kind that literally cannot exist anywhere else because it depends on specific forests, specific watersheds, specific ecosystems studied over generations—will be snuffed out.

You cannot move a thirty-year watershed study. You cannot relocate a decades-long old-growth monitoring program. You cannot box up a forest and ship it to Colorado. When these facilities close, the experiments die. The datasets end. The partnerships with universities that took generations to build collapse. And the institutional knowledge of the scientists who ran those programs walks out the door, because the administration damn well knows most of them won’t follow a forced relocation to a single consolidated office that has nothing to do with the ecosystems they’ve spent their careers studying.”

[forestkodama]

My entire study system - three degrees worth - is from a long term Forest Service system. Literally, my research system was born with the Forest Service as one of the first tasks of the federal entomologists.

This is truly awful in so many dimensions.

The US dropped 270 million cluster bombs on Laos. Every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years from 1964 until 1973, a planeload of cluster bombs was dropped on Laos by American B-52s.
