As , the United States, potentially heads into another forever war I can only think of this quote.

Your fetish doesn’t have to be praxis.

Read that sentence. Read it again. Really drill it into your skull. Internalize the idea until it cannot be removed from your brain.

Then stop making really annoying discourse posts on why this or that kink is WrongBad or how everyone with it is WrongBad and start caring more about how this person treats others outside of a consensual kink context. You’re allowed to hate a kink because of how much it resembles real life issues you suffer with, but other people are going to engage in it whether you like it or not and the only reasonable thing you can ask of them is to not involve you or anyone else who doesn’t want to be a part of it.

And before “three guesses on what kink OP has” if you don’t know me, you’re probably wrong and about to make yourself look like an ass by making assumptions. Go ahead, test your luck, I dare you.

no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.

a woman being feminine is right-wing coded which is masculine coded. a woman being masculine is left-wing coded which is feminine coded. this disproves the existence of women

i walk a fine line between “i’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sex” and “sex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want to”

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Actually no one should be having sex. All of us are aged-up minors and the passage of time is inherently problematic

I think the fattest wild pigeon in a given city should be venerated as a sort of civic deity.
