In the tape released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that “lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that’s happened to us?”

The propaganda is evergreen. There was a commercial I remember ages ago (I think Mormon funded(?)) that was just a creepy guy walking into the bathroom after a little girl in opposition to like gay marriage.

Pretty sure it was an argument against the ERA even.

It’s also been a great way for them to dismantle women’s rights, while proclaiming themselves as “feminists” or “protecting women.”

Being able to ban trans medical care sets a precedent for intervention in medical care, which makes it easier for them to attack abortion and other reproductive health care rights. (Contraception is definitely on the list)

These bathroom bills invite the policing of gender expression. There’s multiple cases of cis women being harassed and chased out bathrooms for being butch, which also serves the purpose of discouraging visibly queer people from being in public. This is also what the conservatives want; think about how much they hate women with dyed hair and undercuts.

This also puts a giant wrench in feminist activist spaces, because you have a bunch of people who’s have redefined “women’s rights” and “feminism” to be inherently in opposition to trans people. There are “feminists” posting Matt Walsh. I have a strong suspicion that at least some of this is paid trolling - that the success of early 2010s internet feminism (#metoo) threatened some powerful people.

The answer the UK settled on was to ban trans men from essentially all single sex public restrooms.

These kind of laws really exist to be a covert way of banning trans existence in public; there have been trans women in the UK who have sued because they have essentially no ability to use changing rooms or piss at work, because the law doesn’t require employers to provide single stall/all gender restrooms.

Gay for pay shit is often fucked up too. There you go. I think it’s actually harmful as shit that a lot of queer boys grow up with no access to actual sex ed and learn how to do things from porn.

What proportion is there of straight porn to gay porn?

California started restricting guns when the Black Panthers started exercising their 2A rights…

And they’re pretending that he was brandishing the gun/had it illegally. Just came out that he had a permit to carry.

That was an execution.

Mother Theresa was no saint.

It’s really tragic that we have lost this sexual god

I wonder what Hilton Corporate (at (972) 383-1400, option 3) would think of your comment.

With a helicopter, I think you also need to be actively suicidal.

This is supposedly a face picture.

Edit: this second photo was apparently AI.

It’s amazing how being an unrepentant sex pest is like a golden ticket into conservative stardom.

Reminds me how many of the “War on Science” conservative grifters crying academic freedom actually lost their jobs for fucking their students.

“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.

They’ve already massively cut off funding for public outreach, and a lot of firings across the board. This administration has absolutely fucked over NASA already.

This study is taking place in West Africa. They are denying children Hep B vaccinations when something like a tenth of the population has Hep B.

This is like the Tuskegee study, but worse.

Not AI.

You shouldn’t microwave water though, because there’s a chance that it could be superheated to the boiling point without looking like it and that can be dangerous.

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.

It’s kinda funny how popular Angel numbers are, when they were made up in the 90s someone who freely admits they are bullshit.
