[Image ID: a Twitter thread by twitter user “@ tara_chara” which reads: “i believe, very strongly, that openness about sexuality is good, that eroticism in art is good, that the sexual revolution was uncomplicatedly good, and that any queer person who pretends that their social status isn’t directly pinned to their openness about sexuality is a rube.”
“i don’t think it’s coincidental that attitudes towards public sexuality are so drastically turning at the same time abortion is overturned in the US and people like Elon Musk openly float low white birth rates as a problem. this whole reaction smacks of artificiality.”
“it is abhorrent to me that open sexuality, a cultural good, an essential aspect to the full realization of human life and a building block of the status of queer people in society, has become such a bête noire in lockstep with a general, socially reactionary, political program.”
“the people who think that sexuality-in-itself is revolutionary, i believe, are fooling themselves, but sexual expression is a cultural good, sexuality is a channel of human fulfillment that ought to be open, and openness about sex is a prerequisite to queer liberation generally.” /.End ID]
twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right
Didn’t see any posts about it so here it is for the other Photosensitive folks,
Nimona has a lot of flashing lights, no intense strobing (ie Incredibles) but includes:
Alarm sequences (red lights, ‘police’ lights), explosions and gunfire
Sparks/flashing/flickering lights, firelight
Thunderstorms and lightning effects,
Flashes from color to black (hard to describe)
All within the first few minutes of the movie, frequently throughout.
It wasn’t too terrible when I watched with other lights on during the day but I tried watching it with them off and it was pretty bad. Sharing this so other people can find it would be much appreciated!
