Do You Ever Eat Popcorn Out Of The Palm Of Your Own Hand With Such Ardent Desperation That You Feel Like

<3

out of interest I just looked up transit directions in Google maps from my parents house to my house and it told me to drive 20 minutes to a park to ride bus station, wait 6 hours, get on several different busses, then get off and order a Lyft

Life will always lead you where you can do the most good. Your presence is needed here.

I think people often underestimate the potential educational value of senseless memes. For example, thanks to Spiders Georg, literally every teenager on Tumblr has a reasonable grasp of what a statistical outlier is and the sorts of problems that outliers can introduce into a naïve analysis. There are grown adults who don’t get that - I deal with them on a daily basis.

Oh joy. I'm just gonna make a small note here that I read this woman's previous webcomic when I was 16-19, looking for sex ed entering my first relationship, I started reading it religiously for advice on everything from handjobs to anal to bondage. It had no small part in leading right into the deep end of fetish and the fetish community.

I made a FetLife account one my 18th birthday, literally the first thing I did when the clock ticked over to midnight. I wanted to do porn and go to week long kink camps. I'm so fucking glad I didn't, but I'm just saying how this *exact* language and treatment of sex and porn and kink can be harmful to teens. Let alone someone as young as 11. (the youngest I could actually see it marketed too, in middle school.)

But you know what? That's the problem. If we and/or the right actually succeeds in pulling this book from school shelves (which they should) oh joy sex toy and it's peers still exist on the web. With all of the shit they couldn't get past a censor, and you don't have to look your librarian in the eyes to get it... This is just a weird symptom of the sex ed problem being Very Bad for years and years.

Sorry , I just have to share these images from Trans propaganda book entitled Let’s Talk About It. Bc I’m so disturbed.

Apparently this book is/was available to kids as young as five years old (K-12 libraries).

All research and credit to this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/xxclusionary/status/1660035667387088898?s=20

The creator included references for proof that the book is available to an age group starting at age 5. So check that thread if you’re doubtful that children as young as 5 have access to this.

1. Male and female bizarrely rebranded as “testosterone rich” and “estrogen rich”. Girl-dick and adult nudity straight off the bat.

Insinuates the default male and female relationship is a jock+ hyper-feminine damsel and that variance only exits via transition or w identities outside the m/f binary. Apparently impossible for a female gf to like sports and a male bf to not be hyper masculine.

Every black female depicted as androgynous or trans masculine. 1% of the population who take artificial sex hormones represented on almost every single anatomy page.

Transwoman cited as having broad hips and depicted as the most femme kind of women throughout the book. More girl-dick and “testosterone rich” /“estrogen rich” speak.

Graphic PIV sex depicted. Again, book available to 5 year olds.

How to Use Butt Plugs Guide. Again. Target audience 5-18. Even for 16-18 year olds, is butt plug usage something you casually get into at that age? It’s a hardcore sex toy. Why was this included?

Why does addressing the stigma against STDs have to mean presenting them as No Big Deal? Also dangerous if this book ends up outside of the US or Europe in developing countries where STI testing and treatment is still a struggle, health care systems are slow + underfunded and HIV/ AIDS is still a deadly illness.

“The internet is a great place to research kinks!”

Directing people under the age of 18 to search porn for sex and “kink” info explicitly against the guidelines and laws of most countries is so delusional and irresponsible.

The conflation of sex education with How To Fuck manuals for kids is a disturbing development. More needs to be done to give young people helpful information about their bodies and sexuality without veering into casual exposure to adult sexuality. Also, content should be better streamlined towards distinct age groups, with young babies being protected from more mature themes. And trans people, particularly white transwomen, being hyper-represented when they make up a tiny portion of the population is a disturbing bias.

clearly, the intelligent side of this debate. Absolutely no brain damage here.

you cannot convince me there is such a thing as an intelligent TERF. you have to have brain damage to enter.

No it means you are against the practice of kinning real human beings on earth (alive or dead) ...which is kinda wild you have to state that

Cis women shut the fuck up challenge

I really think the effect of the 2016 election on the collective psyche of young and teenage girls cannot be downplayed

There are countless people in both Coal Mining and Sex work that ONLY do it because they feel it is the only way to feed their children. People need money "for themselves" to live.

Going down the TERF rabbit hole. Apparently they don't just hate trans women. They oppose pornography, sex workers, and bdsm. Oy...
