This is the same rhetoric that has been used to harass, abuse, and murder queer people for just existing. Passerby on the street don’t have to consent to seeing trans folk holding hands. Your consent is not needed for other people to have sex in their own homes (Lawrence v Texas, anyone?) or draw sexy art (you don’t have to look at it).
Someone stumbling upon art that they don’t like or find distasteful/offensive/degrading is not remotely comparable to a sexual assault, which is a deliberate and often premeditated act of violence that intentionally targets another person.
Consent isn’t required for other people living their lives, only things which directly affect you – who you have sex with, who gets to touch you, who shares your home. Be wary of anyone who tries to expand “consent violation” to mean “anything I don’t like that is anywhere I could possibly find it.”
Claudia Bueno is an artist born in Venezuela, now based in the USA, whose light art installations will tease and tantalise all your senses. Bueno works with circuits and motors to create ethereal installations which play with light, sound and touch, creating immersive art which is psychedelic and magical in nature.
I think we need to get serious about nuclear family abolition instead of the childfree meme culture of “we don’t want your snot-nosed gremlins.” I love kids. I love their joy, the insight of not yet being acclimated to capitalism and social norms. I had a certain naive wisdom as a kid, making crowns out of dandelions without knowing they were weeds. When my mom tried to explain gender reassignment surgery to me, expecting me to be repulsed, I instead blurted out “cool!”.
But despite my love for children and sentimentality for my own childhood, I don’t want to “have kids,” as it’s conventionally understood to mean, nor do most of my age peers. The expectation of children to be the property and sole responsibility of two parents (or as patriarchy would insist, one mother) is a cruel and unrealistic in any historical moment but especially the present. It is cruel, not just to people who don’t want to be parents or shoehorned into heterosexual norms, but traumatic to the child. Surely we should know this better than anyone, and come up with a more mature response than just hating kids. There is a stark difference between this response and the queer legacy of mutual aid to support kids neglected by the nuclear family (the House Mothers of the ballroom community come to mind).
My issue with the childfree movement, as it exists online, is that it centers individual choice rather than a structural reevaluation of the family as we know it. We are told that queer life is purposeless and lonely, and that’s without a genetic lineage we have no future. These arguments are in fact indictments of a system that has failed to produce collective visions of purpose, social fulfillment and futurity. None of us should be obligated to “have kids,” nor tone down our culture or activism in their entirety to be “family friendly.” But weshould be driven by a desire to support those most disenfranchised by family norms instead of just hating them.
This is happening fast. Cats generally only survive 24 hours from symptom-onset.
Symptoms are hyperglycemia, stupor, limb stiffness, difficulty breathing, pupils with different widths, unresponsive pupils, seizures, and hypoalkemia.
It’s unknown how many of the deaths ARE bird-flu but please be vigilant. So far it seems restricted to Poland.
Here’s is another article; it was originally in Polish but google translate has provided a rough translation into English.
just to be extremely clear for anyone confused: it appears bird flu has jumped species to cats. cats are eating birds, getting bird flu, and dying. viruses do not go back in the box once this has happened. all outdoor cats eat birds, even if you do not see them do it. keep your cats inside or provide outdoor time with direct supervision/secure enclosure only.
your cat can also contract bird flu outdoors and then bring it into your house and give it to you. this is not only possible but likely to start happening if it hasn’t already
If I drove a bulldozer through an apple store and the cops just shoved me in a closet and pumped me full of DMT for 8 hours id literally just do it again the second they let me out
This is like the best admission I’ve ever heard that prison sentences are about fucked up torture rather than keeping dangerous people out of society.
There’s literally an entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode about how effed up this concept is.
In case anyone actually cares about this issue, some good news: 227 migrants were rescued off the Canary Islands and 294 migrants were rescued off the coast of Italy yesterday/today.
