In honor of Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈, I had the joy and pleasure of having a chat with Amethysta Herrick, Ph.D., scientist, and storyteller for The Purple Pawedcast. "Today's episode is a special Pride Month offering featuring Queer Thelemite Maevius Lynn. Lynn is an esoteric author, content creator, and advocate of the new religious movement, Thelema. We discuss topics as far afield as Aleister Crowley, how Thelema soothes religious trauma, and why screwing your neighbor isn't the same as Sex Magick."

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

Thoughts on proshipping/lolicon/romanticizing and sexualizing CSA and being attracted to children, fictional or not?

People can't control the thoughts in their head. So I never want to judge people for what they think no matter how horrible it is. So if someone is attracted to children then obviously it's not their fault and they shouldn't be made to feel like the scum of the Earth but obviously they should be given the means to both not offend and not harm children but also and this is something that's not talked about alot to be their healthiest self as well. I believe in destigmatizing ALL mental illnesses even the "scary" ones with scary symptoms so obviously that included the Cluster B Personality Disorders and Paraphilias and Paraphilic Disorders (yes I'm aware there's a difference). But I feel like alot of destigmatization is just "you're not a monster" and that's important for these people to hear but I believe that they also deserve paths to internal safety and self actualization. I think we should go beyond just "how do we keep these people from doing bad things?" And go as far as to say "How do we give these people the sense of internal safety and resolution that not only do they have no desire to do bad things but also they're fully actualized". But then again that's my Carl Rogers brained humanistic framework. So as far as I'm concerned people with paraphilias are not my enemy. I wish every anti-contact MAP a healthy non-offending life that is also full of internal safety as well. As for proshipping and Lolicon/shotacon. I don't really care that much. Proshipping is the basis of fandom culture. AO3 was founded on a profiction stance. Some people's fictional interests make me cringe or even make me sick. I don't like lolicon or shotacon personally but from the actual research it seems that it doesn't actually increase CSA so censoring fiction is not necessary. If for sexualizing CSA you're referring to things like ageplay and DDLG I find those quite attractive myself even if I'm asexual and aromantic but in a theoretical sense. Attraction is complicated. Long story short. I don't like all proship content I don't like kinks I don't like everything out there. But I don't have to feel comfortable with everything to mind my own business. I care more about the harm people are actually doing than whether or not someone is a secret MAP because I honestly think this new wave of bullshit predator hunter culture where stopping CSA has become this game of Pokemon gotta catch them all instead of pointing the finger at the fact that America as a country is founded on violence against children and a disrespect for children as a group is far more important.Also constantly self checking to see if yorue a pedo or not and inducing POCD is far from ideal. I find proshippers to be lovely people in fandom spaces they truly care for art and artistic freedom even if I don't always like the content they make and consume. Fundamentally my point is I'm anti- thought policing and pro-creativity and creative freedom and anti-stigma and pro-self actualization and if that makes me proship or whatever then so be it.

Pam Bondi directing prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione for allegedly killing one CEO when school shooters get proven guilty and still manage to get off with lighter sentences should rattle you.

Luigi Mangione has been stripped of all of his legal and human rights since day one. Luigi Mangione has not been proven guilty of a single crime up until now because Luigi Mangione has not had a trial yet.

If there's a time when you need to speak up for what's right, it is now.

Don't make them make an example out of this young man and take his life. Your America has never been safe anyway, and it definitely isn't going to be if they keep getting away with their bullshit.

Stand by Luigi. Support Luigi. Seek justice for Luigi.

You can never convince me that being a sex worker of any kind is the most depraved thing you can do In a world where Billionaires, healthcare CEOs, and war profiteers exist. I respect every sex worker around more than the vast majority of the American representatives.

(I am in fact every pro sex worker and destigmatizing sex work yes it has its dangers but we should do what we can to mitigate those dangers instead of letting our society's pathological puritanism and sex negativity see it as evil work for people beneath you. This post was not intended to be anti-sex worker at all. It was meant to be anti-billionaire actually as one should be everyday!)
