*smirking* you couldn't waterboard that out of me, but even if torture was an effective method of information extraction and not a futile display of state-sanctioned sadism, the high percentage of false confessions it produces would mean that even if you could waterboard it out of me, could you even trust the veracity of my statement?

there are like genuinely eye opening statistics on the prevalence of rape fantasies among women and sa victims, like it's really true even if you don't have trauma you're not alone and you're not broken. wether you like these fantasies or not you're not something bad for having them. they're always just thoughts and common enough to be notably harmless. it doesn't make you a rapist or a rape apologist or even a rape fetishist, yes even if you embrace those fantasies.

basically we literally factually know that these thoughts are not crimes and are common enough to disprove any claim to correlation between thought and action, so i think it's time to stop blaming people with these common fantasies for an act of material violence factually more often perpetrated against them than by them

My tar vase came outta the kiln!

I was so scared it would explode or the "drips" would break etc but it came out perfectly Phew. sadly my studio does NOT have a glossy black glaze like my old class so we settled for a satin matte black instead. It was lovely though, it smoothed out all the rough finishing i had (i'm sloppy lol) If you like this vase, you might like my spikey vase/jug too! (everyone says it looks like ferrofluid :') )

Describing the woman as bafflingly at peace with the simple enjoyment of her hobby, confused sources confirmed Monday that a local fucking weirdo was really good at something that she wasn’t trying to capitalize on. “She’s so good at this it could be a secondary source of income, and yet she seems to have absolutely no interest in monetizing her skill, so what’s the point?” area man Brandon O’Brien said after watching his total oddball neighbor craft yet another dazzling wood sculpture that she would either display in her home or give away for free, even though it could fetch her $1,000, easy.

President Trump dialed into “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning and revealed his newest and truest motivation for brokering an end to the war in Ukraine: He’s worried he might not get into heaven after he dies. “I want to try and get to heaven, if possible,” he explained. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of subterranean mycelial networks, and are typically harvested for food just before the stage of growth where they'd release their spores, so if certain fringe theories about mycelial intelligence are correct, we're basically made a culinary industry out of edging a hivemind.
