These are also the same people with elaborate conspiracy theories about a “pimp lobby” funding the sex worker’s rights movement, so

You can’t drive while drunk or on heavy painkillers but booze is legal and so are painkillers if you have a prescription.

I like Andrew Yang’s euphemism: “human-centered capitalism.”

Oysters are the food I’m the maddest about hating. They look so fun! They’re cheap at Happy Hour! They’re technically vegan, which doesn’t really matter to me but is kinda cool! I love the big ice platter and the weird ritualistic eating method and the pretty shells. 

My method for caramelizing onions: set up a chair and laptop in the kitchen, within reach of the stove. Watch some absorbing TV and just wait it the fuck out.

See, he should have been smart like Kamala and kept things super vague, which would have allowed his supporters to project whatever they like onto him without having to actually reckon with his bad opinions.

I kinda feel like there’s going to be some unexpected consequence of killing the Night King that will come into play and complicate the war against Cersei. Wouldn’t be the worst thing if that didn’t happen — the Night King and his zombie army are spooky but not terribly interesting otherwise — but it would justify the…

I’m team side salad. Was raised by people who ate salad with every single meal to the point where a meal without a salad just doesn’t feel complete. It’s just nice to have something light and leafy when you’re eating something heavy? Side salad all the way.

My friend had an instagram account for her military-themed BDSM clips store and got harassed by neo-nazis who felt she was “appropriating fascist culture.” They reported her, she reported them — guess which account got deleted and which ones stayed up?

I miss the Awl and the Hairpin so much. 

Under the current system those people do sex work anyway, deal with a much higher rate of violence and are likely to end up with a record. If you want to provide choices, create a better social safety net + provide accessible addiction treatment. If people are getting stuck with shitty options, you improve the…

Because criminalizing clients endangers sex workers. Here’s what happened when Ireland changed from basically decrim to client criminalization two years ago:

The scene between Cersei and Septa Unella in this ep is one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. I hate the Septa more than I hate Cersei and the whole thing is incredibly satisfying. I don’t know how to insert video, but here’s a link.

Also police really encourage false sex trafficking narratives more the more people start to resist the idea of policing consensual sex work — they’ll claim they’ve “rescued some trafficking victims” but then you’ll find out that all the “victims” got charged with prostitution and no one got charged with trafficking.

Sex trafficking is the new satanic panic. It’s not just Pizzagaters — you have people all over the political spectrum who lack outlandish beliefs but are still under the impression that sex traffickers kidnap people off the street regularly and that there’s some kind of massive epidemic going on. It’s like they think T…

The bills would require hotel staff to be trained in identifying signs of trafficking

Used to be team red, nearly entirely stopped wearing bras and now on the rare occasion I’m forced to deal with hooks I do blue method because my skills have atrophied.

At least in this particular case, “trafficking” was just a way for the police to make their standard-issue prostitution/immigration sting sound noble.

Okay, but the world’s greatest orgasm PLUS a bunch of money is even better than just the world’s greatest orgasm. 

I hated it so much! The only thing better than really great sex is really great sex AND lots of money. They never should have returned the coin.
