    “I think you’ve healed my ballet injuries enough for one day,” Maddie giggled, smirking. “But I do have one teeny-weeny wittle wound that could use a pounding from your Theragun,” she teased.

    As their lips were about to meet, the physical therapy office door slammed open. There stood Maddie’s father, looking furious. “What the hell is this?”

    “Dad, it’s not what it looks like,” Maddie stammered, her cheeks burning as bright pink as her tutu.

    James stood protectively in front of Maddie, his posture tense. “We were just-”

    “I know what you are…” Mr. Stevens hissed. He slammed James against the Stairmaster "Balleraggot”

    James hadn’t heard that word in years. He was brought right back to PT academy, to the hate he had faced simply because of who he couldn’t help but love. As his head hit the top step of the Stairmaster, he heard all the other familiar slurs, too: nutcracker, chasse chaser, plié-wad, and even tutu-fucker. He collapsed to the ground.

    “And you…” He turned to his daughter, who’d broken into tears.

    "Don’t think for one fucking second that we didn’t know. That’s right, your mother knew, may she rest in peace. All those years at performing arts high school… any normal daughter would’ve healed from the occasional sprain. Imagine the shame you brought onto your chemotherapy mother when she had to explain to the Rotary Club why her daughter spent her entire senior year in PT. Throwing herself at every new physical therapist. Imagine the tears in your chemommy’s eyes when we heard you in your bedroom, firing, up your Theragun for the fifth time on one of her last nights with us.”

    "Leave your daughter alone, " James bellowed, tears streaming down his face as he slowly stood up.

    “She’s hardly my daughter now,” Mr. Simmons laughed derisively.

    "Make me.”

    “Oh, I will.” James cocked his Theragun.










  • Daggerfall is long as fuck (in universe, the adventure takes at least ten years.) The dungeons are massive serpentine mazes. Multiple guilds and factions, although they don’t feature overarching questlines - lots of radiant quests, but they never really feel boring.

    It’s also fairly difficult - especially if you build a character without cheesing it with a guide. You need to be juggling multiple saves to prevent yourself being trapped in a certain death situation, mess up a quest, etc.

    There’s a modern remake, Daggerfall Unity, which a lot of people say is a good way to play it nowadays. The original DOS version is quite playable through DOSBox though, and there’s lots of little quality of life tools that you can find online.


  • Rape in the system is a feature, not a bug.

    From a report about trans inmates:

    75% of respondents reported at least one instance of sexual violence by Corrections Officers (COs).

    This includes: • 48% of respondents who reported violence from a single male CO. • 32% of respondents who reported sexual violence from multiple male COs.

    Respondents reported numerous types of sexual assaults by COs : • 68% were touched in a way that felt inappropriately sexual while they were clothed, including 57% who had their chest/breasts touched, 43% who had their genitals grabbed, and 55% who had their bottom grabbed. • 36% were asked to strip search in front of other incarcerated people. • 36% were asked to remove their bra in front of male COs during a strip search. • 27% were forced by a CO to perform oral sex. • 18% had their naked genitalia touched by a CO. • 16% were forced to perform anal sex by a CO. • 20% were forced to perform another sexual act by a CO.








  • The way the alt right has been working for the past ten years has been saying something absolutely outrageous, and then claiming it’s a joke/satire afterwords. It’s a way of introducing those ideas into the mainstream while maintaining plausible deniability. They started by “joking” that we should repeal the 19th amendment, but the goal is to shift the Overton window. Any “satire” is a fig leaf.

    The dude does not believe in relationships with women. He believes in fucking women (with or without their consent) and pimping them out. Having a girlfriend is acknowledging a woman as human, which is “gay,” because real men only view women as chattel. That’s what he’s saying. I’m sorry you don’t have the critical thinking skills to understand that.
