It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

every time they wanna ban something under the guise of "for the children!" or "public safety!" odds are it never really is. banning of porn is a disguise to ban queer folk in art. banning certain books is a disguise to limit education. keeping wages low is to prevent people from exploring and growing.

My followers know I hate talking about politics and current events, and generally refuse to do so, but this is important.

A bill has been introduced in the US that would make all pornography a federal crime. Owning it. Creating it. Distributing it.

Under this law, fanart of nude characters would be a federal crime.

Under this law, depictions of homosexuality or simply being transgender, would be considered pornography and a federal crime.

This bill is not going to pass.

However, the reason for this bill is to continue to push the "overton window". The reason for this bill is to make banning pornography seem more and more normal to everyone until they can actually do that.

And remember, they consider depictions of gay characters and transgenders characters "pornography" in any context, including platonic.

They have been working on this for a decade now and it has been working.

If you are one of the people in fandom who thinks that "nasty" porn on AO3 should be banned because it's "icky" or "immoral", then this mental scam is working on you.

Censorship is never about protecting people.

Censorship is always about control.

Do not let the rising moral panic affect your mind and make you weak to propaganda that lets others control you and control what you watch and read.

Do not fall for the scam.

When they say they are going to ban "pornography" it means they're going to ban anything they don't like by calling it "pornography" and they don't like you!!

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

I still dont get why they didn't because: - We have made shorter actors seem taller than they actually are - We have made taller actors seem shorter than they actually are - Getting fit for roles has and constantly happens - NO ONE in the books is explicitly *white* so why MB should be is weird - ALSO HAVE WE NOT SEEN HOW FUCKING AMAZING THEY WERE IN OFMD? THE EXPRESSIONS? - I will die on this hill but I will still watch the show but I will hands down be MAD about it

for me, Murderbot should be played by Vico Ortiz. look at them

the gender. the eyebrows. the empty stare. do you see it

hot take maybe, but my opinion of you automatically dives if the first reaction you have to a cool character is to ask if there’s a c.ai bot of them. write shitty fanfic like the rest of us, or just maladaptive daydream if you must. find a community and rp online!! we’re losing important social and writing skills to a tech product controlled by and overseen by the slimiest, most exploitative billionaires silicon valley has seen in a generation and we’re doing it willingly???
