Mormonism is American as all hell. It’s like “Priesthood of all believers? Yeah, we got that. Better, *prophethood* of all believers. And bishophood of all priests. No, wait, come back, GODHOOD of all believers.”
look at this old-ass mall look at it do u feel the excitement welling up in ur crutch do u feel the heat and moisture in ur crutch ur crutch boiling up with fundament and pleasure as u gaze upon this idyllic scene of bliss locked in the past can u access it
The roads in Pennsylvania were a little disorienting until I remembered that around here paw print car decals mean “I am affiliated with Penn State”, not “I am a furry”.
Everyone worthwhile is terrible; terrible people are disproportionately worthwhile
why would you even make a stripper remix of Video Games thats evil why would you even holy shit dude
What is up with monster porn, anyway? It’d be easy to chalk it up to the maturation of the teen supernatural romance trend that Twilight kicked off, but that doesn’t account for why at the same time 4chan is all of a sudden in love with lamia and slime girls by way of moe anthropomorphication, does it? And then you’ve got things like Corruption of Champions or SABBAT that take it further into a sort of erotic body horror in a way that shades into the emerging avant-garde transgender chic.
I guess the unifying trait is a transcendence of physical human form, an ideal that in the previous generation was mapped to the potential of computer networks - cyberspace/the Metaverse/Second Life - that proved less than fulfilling. Maybe it’s a subliminated reaction to the taming and enclosure of the internet frontier that’s got us longing to be raped by genderfluid werebees.
Or hell, maybe the stars are just aligned right to tune the zeitgeist to that frequency. It’s happened before - Flowers in the Attic and the Blue Lagoon movie were the tip of a now largely forgotten iceberg of a “lost children’s incestuous awakening” pulp boom in the 70s/80s.
Eh, on the grey market (through private adoptions coordinated by fixer-lawyers, laundered as legal fees, adoption fees, support for the biological mother, birthing and medical expenses) a healthy white baby can fetch in the mid-six figures and up.
Like Athenian democracy, the civil liberties of the imperialist nations will likely be very inspiring models to future struggles, when their basis in human bondage ( of all types) is obscured by time.
Hey so I can’t stop reading Small Town Noir, which takes mugshots from 1930s to 1960s arrests in New Castle and then constructs biographies of the people in the photos based mostly on newspaper records. There are hundreds of them and the biographies are often pretty detailed and sometimes impressively bleak. Apparently there’s a documentary coming at some point in the future?
Anyway, this is Sidney Fell, who was the son of Austrian Jewish immigrants and ran way from home and served in World War Two and ran a window-washing business and was super involved in musical theatre and died in 2007. He was arrested for sodomy in 1960 and served four to eight months in the county jail.

ahaha what the hell is that second to last one
When I was doing karate in LA I was a little surprised how black the competitive sparring circuit was. I guess I shouldn’t’ve - fighting sports have always been the province of driven subalterns.
It was striking how these senseis were actual blaxploitation heroes - tall, steely-eyed dudes with fros, bushy mustaches, black belts, and a calling to clean up the ghetto streets. Except the role of “intimate companion and ally” was cast less as “a sexy pistol-packing jungle mama” than “our lord and savior Jesus Christ”.
