sorry if this is a stupid and/or weird question but your response to that anon talking about people experiencing orgasms during childbirth made me wonder if there's a certain point in development after which it'd be weird for pregnant people to have sex or masturbate, since after a certain point the fetus(?) can hear? like, should people do it quietly or does it just not really matter? sorry again but i am genuinely clueless

should. should pregnant people have sex quietly so their baby doesn't hear?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

okay even assuming your unborn child can hear you fucking. it's like having sex in front of your stuffed animals or your dog, dude. they have absolutely no understand of what is going on. they don't give a shit. at no point is any person who has ever or will ever be born going to go "oooooh man I think hearing my parents fuck while I was in utero really fucked me up actually" that's not how anything works. they're too busy going "mmm yummy amniotic fluid" they do not know or care that sex is happening

[rainbow-demoness]

I swear this is a consequence of the "life begins at conception" propaganda. Combined with the recurrent moral panic about "protecting children" (from knowledge).

Absolutely rancid combination of Christian morality with Christian morality.

I'm sad to say that the rise of fascism has been visible in my inbox for years as people become increasingly distrustful of their own bodies and pleasure. you see it in people's paranoia around becoming "porn addicts," their need for reassurance that a 24 year old isn't a predator for dating a 22 year old, their fears that they may have unwittingly committed assault by looking at another child's naked body when they were young, their insistence that consensual sex is impossible for anyone who has had a single drink or smoked a whiff of weed. people, especially young people, are doing a tremendous amount of work for fascism in terms of rigorously policing their own bodies and sexual expression, and they often don't even realize it.

BAD Batman comic: joker is back and he’s kidnapped nightwing, my son Damian who is my only son and also batgirl (it’s Barbara Gordon don’t get any ideas)

GOOD Batman comic: two face and I are going to have a fight that’s basically sex, yes I will be thinking about crying, I just said it was sex

if psych had been made in the 2020s, there would be an episode where gus's work starts installing GPS trackers on all the company cars, so for 3/4 of the episode, gus is terrified to drive outside his route, finding ways to get where they need to be in santa barbara without leaving gus's sales route. shawn finds a youtube video on how to jailbreak the trackers and does it, and gus gets commended at work for doing his routes so fast and efficiently, meanwhile he and shawn were halfway across the state on some case, probably getting chased by someone or something

Shane also needs to interact with other gay men just to understand how truly lucky he is. He needs to hear someone go off about going on Grindr to find a top for the night and then finding out that all of the guys who have the 'Hung' tag on their profile are packing like five and a half inches at MOST and then Shane has to be like "Oh that. Yeah that sounds rough." Meanwhile he lost his anal virginity to a knockout with model looks who works out for a living and started their relationship by jerking his enormous hog at him in a communal shower which has always been one of Shane's top five fantasies. And he's literally never had to be on The Apps because he's the bottom of all time actually and the DomTop with the enormous dick imprinted on him like a fucking duckling the first time Shane came untouched under him which was, I cannot stress this enough, when he LOST HIS VIRGINITY.

Like shut the fuck up Shane Hollander how does it feel to be the chosen one. He has to confront all of this because he needs to know that he has, once again, won at life in every meaningful way. And then he can sit there like :] while that sad bottom over there bemoans the Grindr biome.

i feel like people think companies will be altruistic and do the right thing regardless of government intervention. like no, companies are driven by capitalism. to make the most out of the day and money they have and maximize profits, especially fortune 500 companies

like without government intervention, strawberry jam would have wood in it. like it's a thing. food companies realized that they could use less of the expensive strawberries as ingredients and just use wood. there are laws you cannot legally call it strawberry jam if you do this. you have to call it a strawberry product or spread. food companies are always trying to get that shit through. they have lobby groups pushing that all the time

it is more expensive to put metal detectors in a food processing plant. companies want to cut costs. it is a legal requirement in a lot of countries to have them. so it forces companies to install them.

also to do routine inspections. that is a government requirement. so are building codes. a lot of codes are the bare minimum. like some companies will exceed the code and have more protections but a lot don't. like if it is not in the code, they don't do it. so that's why having governing bodies that regulate building safety, worker safety, food safety and product safety are crucial. because without them, your employer will not see the need to have exit doors with quick release handles, or do routine fire sprinkler inspections or have road salt for the sidewalks. some of it is basic fucking stuff.

companies when left alone do not regulate themselves. it's been historically untrue. companies want to give you a product that is cheap for them to make and that they can sell at the highest price so they can get the most profit. for everyone who loves capitalism, that's what it is. the free market will not self-regulate. if you don't have anti-monopoly laws and anti-wage theft laws and workers' protections, the open market will not fix that organically.

when government officials talk about removing protections it is not good. like they were put in place for a reason. like drinking water and food regulations were written in blood. same with human rights and freedoms. like people died for the building code to be written. people died for occupational healthy and safety codes to be written. there is a reason food safety codes are there. companies will look at 100 people dying and say it was the cost of doing business. it is the government's job to say that is an unacceptable and for companies to do better

In case you forgot since high school, the greed of corporations meant that during the Spanish-American War in 1898 three beef corporations saw they could increase profit by cutting corners & selling the US Army the spoiled, chemically-embalmed meat. CORPORATIONS POISONED US TROOPS TO DEATH BECAUSE IT WAS PROFITABLE TO THEM and twice as many US troops died of the rancid meat than died in combat.

This is not a "boo hoo the troops" example, this is a "corporations will put profit above literally everything else including the lives of their own country's military" example. Corporations CANNOT regulate themselves.

from 1971 to the early 00s, johnson & johnson knew their talcum powder formula had asbestos in it. they knew it would kill people by giving them ovarian cancer and mesothelioma, and they didnt care. they covered it up and denied it despite having records proving their baby powder formula contained asbestos.

my mom throughout her life spent probably a maximum of $150 on their baby powder. $150 was the price they put on her life, and she did get cancer from their product and she did die. they killed her over $150. corporations will never choose to do the right thing. they will always choose to get every single last dollar from you regardless of your safety or your health. they wont regulate themselves into ethical standards which is exactly why we need the government to do it for them.

Under the soft light of the doorway, a mother finds moments to rest while never straying far from the two tiny lives she has brought into the world. Sometimes she watches from above, listening and keeping guard, and other times she curls around them, holding them close against her warmth. In these early days they sleep, stretch, and search for comfort, knowing only the safety of their mother and the small home that shelters them. It is a simple scene, but one filled with devotion, instinct, and the quiet beginning of two new little lives growing under her care.
