The story behind the forgotten first gay porn film | Xtra Magazine

“The Surprise of a Knight,” the first known queer “stag film,” shows how gender, sexuality and desire have always been fluid

Waugh recalls, on his first watch, being “delighted by the unexpectedness of this glimpse into [the lead character’s] world,” and he’s drawn conclusions about this onscreen heroine after careful study. “She was a trans sex worker, obviously,” he says, “very beautiful and very much in possession of herself. The film is very frank about her fucking, as well as her costume performance and the revelation. I think there were a few rare glimpses of trans characters [in stag films], but this was unique.”

'It's like we don't exist': Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents face power loss as utility redirects lines to data centers | Fortune

Roughly 49,000 Lake Tahoe residents could lose 75% of their power after their energy provider said it's directing energy to neighboring data

NV Energy continues to be trash, I see.

This is more of an ask for the artist. I SWEAR I've seen you use a broken vase motif for Lucian before somewhere. Could you explain what it symbolises?

Hey there! Yes, indeed, I used this motif several times! This is partly a symbol of his being a medium - he has no "soul" in the conventional sense (that's why there is a name "Hollow Vessel" for one of the pieces). But it's also a symbol of how Lucian has perceived himself over the years - a pretty vase, a pretty face, an object without personality or core, broken and empty. (It will get better with time and when he will stop being lonely)

Does no one realize how racist this assumption can be? Most LLMs are trained heavily on Commonwealth and other standardized English corpora, yet now when people from Commonwealth countries naturally write in polished English, others immediately say it “sounds AI-generated.”

I fear this is the beginning of a really awful trend that will make it even harder for non-white writers to get published.

[tournevis-real]

Oh it occured! It absolutely occured that this scandal is racist. Is it at all possible that AI was use by any the writers in this competition? Sure! That's true of everything nowadays. But that this guy's prose is being targetted because he won? Suspicious. The scandal is suspicious. The scandal makers are acting suspicious. While this guy's prose sound very typical of Caribean writers I've read. It sounds Caribean to me.

working with little kids is so dangerous. you get one kid who has a unique way of speaking & then spend the rest of your life with an internal monologue like “me’s go bathroom?”

[moveslikekeithrichards]

other thrilling destructions of my vocabulary:

the kid who replaced his hard G sounds with soft ones, leaving me incapable of thinking of glasses as anything other than jlasses

kid who would holler "DID" any time she finished her work no matter how many times we told her to just raise her hand

kid who began her scary stories with "once a time" and her friend who began his with "paw time"

middle schooler i had during student teaching who pronounced magritte as "mah-gritty"

the kid who said "i got boogies comin out my nose" while sobbing and the kid who said "theres his puddle of cry" while describing a drawing, both of whom i think of when im crying

kid who said that if he was 80 he would get big and turn grandpa

kid who, for no reason in particular, would just say "like a little feet" as a standalone phrase in relation to nothing

edit how could i forget. the kid who got sneezed on and angrily said "whyd you blessyou on me"

[hollowedskin]

My niece who asks people with dogs "are him big or him little?"

And every person without fail answers "uh.. him big"

[draconym]

Years later my vocabulary is still influenced by:

kid who called snakes "nakes"

kid who called calculators "cockulators"

my little cousin who referred to anything he didn't have an immediate answer to as "vewy mystewious"

"I don't yike heem"
