A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
I notice that the "dangerous thrill of transgression" never applies to "robbing a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser to give the loot to a trans youth group" but making a point of saying "Oriental" and going tee hee you were talking about rugs.
Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC: "Home Health Aide $23,000 I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them? Bronx Day-Care Worker $31,000 $16,600 from day-care profits $14,400 from trainings and consulting Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."
It's all so clear
Lice Lady: $75,000 I mostly work in Manhattan and Brooklyn, around the Park Slope area, where there are lots of kids. We go house to house, and we also do school checks and camp checks. We get paid by appointment. If a family is fully infested, it takes two or three hours β itβs around $150 to $225 per head, depending on hair length and severity of infestation. Tips are very individual. You might get $100 or maybe $20. Or maybe $10. You never know. I made around $2,000 to $3,000 in tips last year. But Iβm so grateful for everything. I have a daughter; sheβs 8 years old. Sheβs living in Georgia, my home country. This is such a hard time for me, but Iβm so happy that I get to have contact with kids all day. Itβs a lot of fun. (It's a lot of fun highlighted for emphasis)
Props to the Lice Lady for finding joy in her work, because that sounds viscerally unpleasant to me
page 1 of a comic featuring characters from final fantasy 14. the characters are fordola, with short orange hair and purple markings on her face, and lyse, with long blonde hair and a ponytail. this comic will reference an effect from the game called "resonance", which allows fordola to see what someone wants or is going to do before they do it. i will use this term to describe an effect that makes the colors of the comic change to black, white, and red. here on page 1, fordola is seen protecting lyse from an attacking soldier. she asks "you alright, princess?" while lyse looks flustered, fordola's resonance shows her lyse kissing fordola's neck. the image shocks fordola.
Lyse can't control her thoughts and Fordola can't control her resonance ποΈβπ¨οΈ
Lyse x Fordola edging comic from @ffxivkinkzine.bsky.social vol. 2!! there's more LxF and more kink in there than you could dream of, please check it out :3

HUGE NEWS - My novella, "A Gloved Hand Against His Heart" will be included in the first @ddmarket.online bundle! If you're a fan of monsterfucking, messy fantasy politics, demons, yearning, and seeing a hairy thicc demon failboy get dommed by a middle aged trans masc twink then ... dinner is served!
There's a bit in the documentary Jesus Camp where the youth minister justifies "militarizing" kids to be martyrs by asking why fundamentalists in the Middle East are allowed to do that, but Christians aren't when "I'm sorry, we have the truth!"
It says a lot about the American Evangelical mindset.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Female defectors say the MAGA movement has dropped the pretense of protecting women and now demands submission while βadvertising it will be cruel and fickle.β
worth remembering, David Lynch directed βfix your hearts or dieβ specifically at transphobes. it wasnβt a generic βno mean people allowedβ statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Oversized shoes? You mean the hallmark of the clown? The jester? Big floppy shoes for me to prance and jape about in like some joker? Well okay yes sir I like them very much.
i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable
Hey heroes!
@superdillin.bsky.social and I have a new book out. I'm very proud of it and I want it to do well.
You can help by buying a copy, but you can help even more by leaving a review! Yes, on Amazon. Evening you didn't buy it there.

The 3 genders
Something like
-Works with Epstein pals, but get's a working sex workers debanked.
-Financed CSAM on X but takes away your games.
-Pays for the abuse of Epstein but doesn't want you looking at some boobs.
I dunno, it's 2AM brain Can't come up with catchy slogans but you get it.
I think at some point people are going to have to show up outside of the Mastercard HQ with signs and protest this censorship stuff, I feel like there has to be a visible IRL presence where execs work to actually make a dent in this issue
Holly, sitting on her phone reading something:"Hey do you remember the TTRPG debacle?"
Me:"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?" She meant the neopets one but forgot to actually include the context. Wheezing at **THE** TTRPG debacle as if there isn't a new one every 30-45 minutes

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Just in case people know, Kobe Bryant's defense lawyers are responsible for inventing the "this rape victim only accused him so she could become famous" defense, which has continued to plague our society in the decades since. Plus, you know, he raped somebody. Fuck Kobe.
just remembering the time the Washington Post leadership hung my friend Felicia, a sexual assault victim, out to dry because she tweeted *a link to a news story* about the rape when he died.
βInstead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,β Wired reported last week, Expert Review βlists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.βπ€¬

Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet
Benjamin Franklin worked hard to be a famous straight I think.
I think Ghengis Khan and Rameses II were the two most famous straights in history
