Felt a little nervous to make this post but decided to beat my social anxiety with a stick
first sexploitation film that I’ve watch (on purpose). a girl gets possessed and tries to seduce people around her, including her nurse. can i say how interested I am right now with the concept of exploitation films? loved the camera work and the lighting

Especially worse if it's an important news story.
I get that the writers and the newspaper need income to continue to publish important news stories but man, there's gotta be a better way.
This goes for medical and scientific journals as well. Increasingly important in an age of misinformation!

If you ever want to see where America tests its ass backwards policies before mainland roll out always look at the pending legislation in Puerto Rico.
If enacted, a new bill in Puerto Rico will limit government transparency and severely restrict the work of journalists.
We, alongside 10 other press freedom organizations, urge Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer González-Colón to reject SB 63.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.
As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.
Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵
