Sometimes ive thoughts
Untamed & impure
Artistical fancies
Of carnal allures

Thots that are canvas
For sinful delight
Painted with worship
And prayers to the night

For Poet's with thoughts
There's simply no cure
I'll never be bimbo
My cross to endure
does anyone else have impure thoughts sometimes

Currently have three writing projects in different stages (my game of the year list, a fresh TTRPG campaign that I got an idea for playing Absolum, and a meditation on how bizarre performing a transaction on OnlyFans can be for a "normal" person) so of course, I have no focus for any of them.

in our interview episode this week, I talked to porn historian and professional pervert Noelle Perdue about the dangers of isolating intimacy, whether the cat is entirely out of the bag, and our favorite parody porn.

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

I think part of the personal appeal of pro wrestling as a "sport" is that it presents the fantasy that you could, in fact, solve most problems by simply beating the ever-loving shit out of a person.

Step 1: Watch this hilarious video

Step 2: Buy Despelote

Step 3: Play Despelote

Step 4: Transcend from "Slug Dusted with Salt" to "Enriched Human" through the power of autobiographical storytelling

Step 5: Gradually descend back into the default state of "Goo Ball"

Saeed is the real deal, a good man, and winter is here in Palestine. Please help him and his family stay warm and fed. In spite of the constantly-violated "ceasefire," the crisis in Gaza continues and the people there still need our support to survive and rebuild.

Literally anyone when I tell them I have back pain: "Oh! You should try this extremely specific type of treatment I got, even though I have no idea what the cause of your pain is. IT'S NON-INVASIVE YOU'LL BE FINE!"

I survived gaza gencide, but I came out to find that everything I knew my home, my work, my city is gone.
Starting again feels impossible, but I’m trying.

If you can, please help me rebuild my life even the smallest support means the world to me.

I know some ppl don’t wanna hear it, but a lot more young people are dropping dead because they’ve got long covid. There are heart problems that develop from it. Get vaccinated. Test regularly. Mask up, at least strategically, to protect yourself!
Black men please get checked

In the past two weeks I have heard stories about 1 man passing at 31 from a heart attack and another man passing at 34 from a stroke

I personally knew one man and my dad knew the other one

This is not normal ! Please do not play about your health.

This is true and it's actually really alarming

really really alarming

if you are a human being who can follow written directions with more than two steps, you are a rarity and you're probably going to end up in charge wherever you go, whether you want to or not.
Two college professors I follow have stated that every new class gets exponentially worse at following written instructions. Up until now I believe this is due to a built up resistance to online ads & marketing.

There's a real "never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake" attitude among Opposition politicians these days, but they have forgotten (or don't care about) the fact that, if power shifts to their "side," the damage caused by those mistakes are going to be THEIRS to try and fix.
