I got 0.0056 and the site told me that my opinions about colour palettes are now legally binding, so that was pretty cool.

Chirp: First of all, I think the DM is editorialising in a way he's not allowed to.

#FailedSave

Chirp: So is this my thing now? I'm now the guy that's got to just put weird garbage in his mouth?
DM: The taste tester.
Bora: I mean, you kind of were that before, but it just was less useful.
DM: And before, garbage came out.

I feel like #StarfleetAcademy is the first Trek series where I'm really noticing the lack of accessories on uniforms. Specifically, at least half the bridge crew look weird without a carabiner.

Who wants a Grammarly pre-loaded with all my smutty fanfic inspiration suggestions? It emphasises the importance of picking a few key lines to put in the summary field to tantalise a potential audience.

I can't even say shit because it's TRUE.

A waffle with lemon curd sounds absolutely amazing.

Nearly three hours in and we're way too deep into the taint jokes and it's GREAT.

One of his favourite things to do is stare at me while making cookies...

Like 'first the cushion, then your throat, hooman'.

AAAAHHHH #NaturalWorldsLibrary

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Perhaps the white tank top and the meal with all the soy sauce was a bad combination?

I'm never as awake as I want to be when contemplating this topic, and I am going to bed now. ASIO man in my computer please leave me alone til the morning, I prommy I'm not a criminal.

And I mean yes, that's different again because I'm a real person, but the written word is different from if, for example, it had been a photo or video of me naked (although phones didn't have cameras back then).

'Filming, printing, photographing, recording, writing, drawing or otherwise generating material'

Like... what I'm getting at here is that this catches actual CAM.

It would also have included my diary when I was 17 and mentioned having sex.

(classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic...)

The legislation around CAM has been designed to cast a wide net on purpose, from my understanding, and there are reasons why that makes sense and reasons why it doesn't.

I keep getting annoyed about this every time I hear more about it, because I understand people's knee-jerk reaction, but Australia cannot possibly prosecute everyone who's lent/read/borrowed Lolita, or Tampa, or My Dark Vanessa, and those fictional characters ARE children.

Once you start digging into 'but Lolita is older' — she's still a child. The characters in Tesolon-Mastrosa's book, based on what I've read, are all of legal age and engaging in ageplay.

Moreover, they're letters on paper/screen. They're not literal images of literal children in either case.

The thing about Lauren Tesolin-Mastrosa's situation is that it's fine to be icked out by ageplay and 'barely legal' and whatnot, but if she's being charged with 'creating, possessing and disseminating child abuse material', we do in fact also have to charge every librarian who's handled Lolita.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️
