Heat stroke...
Photo of a newspaper entry on excessive heat. A cartoon sun, wearing sunglasses, is grasping the red heat bar in one hand. It looks rather a lot like the sun is jacking off the heat bar.

Laila Mickelwait, btw, is an evangelical nightmare of a human being who works for Exodus Cry, a religious anti-porn and anti-sex work organization with ties to fundamentalist anti-LGBTQ church called IHOP. They’re fucking grifters.
Laila Mickelwait in a 2008 episode of “Pimp My Ride” because she has always desperately wanted to be famous and she finally found her calling in the spotlight by grifting for Exodus Cry, a fundamentalist Christian anti-porn organization that claims to “save” sex trafficking victims by making them sign a pledge of abstinence before the org provides them any material assistance (and even then the actual $$ they provide is negligible, after all they have Benjamin Nolot’s private helicopter to pay for!!!)

Just to sprinkle a bit more on top of this thought - Laila Mickelwait ran the “traffickinghub” campaign to take down Pornhub, which directly resulted in creators losing the majority of our revenue on the site for years. It also fed into the push for identity verification for adult sites, which has

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.
From the Point of View of a Cat
This is my Man. I am not afraid of him. He is very strong, for he eats a great deal; he is an Eater of All Things. What are you eating? Give me some!
He is not beautiful, for he has no fur. Not having enough saliva, he has to wash himself with water. He meows in a harsh voice and a great deal more than necessary. Sometimes in his sleep he purrs.
Let me out!
I don’t know how he has made himself Master; perhaps he has eaten something sublime.
He keeps my rooms clean for me.
In his paws he carries a sharp black claw and he scratches with it on white sheets of paper. That is the only game he plays. He sleeps at night instead of by day, he cannot see in the dark, he has no pleasures. He never thinks of blood, never dreams of hunting or fighting; he never sings songs of love.
Often at night when I can hear mysterious and magic voices, when I can see that the darkness is all alive, he sits at the table with his head bent and goes on and on, scratching with his black claw on the white papers. Don’t imagine that I am at all interested in you. I am only listening to the soft whispering of your claw. Sometimes the whispering is silent, the poor dull head does not know how to go on playing, and then I am sorry for him and I meow softly in sweet and sharp discord. Then my Man picks me up and buries his hot face in my fur. At those times he divines for an instant a glimpse of a higher life, and he sighs with happiness and purrs something which can almost be understood.
But don’t think that I am at all interested in you. You have warmed me, and now I will go out again and listen to the dark voices.
Translated by Dora Round; revised by the editor. Originally published in Intimate Things, 1935.

Have you found yourself in the position of having a Reform councillor?

Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.

Got rubbish piling up? Email them.

Bus vanished from existence? Email them.

Streetlights dead? Email them.

Care package delayed? Email them.

Pavement like the Somme? Email them. 

Send them in by the hundred.  Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.  

Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News.  It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.

Welcome to local government. 

The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.

The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.

Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.

On Redistribution of Wealth: When you give money to a sex worker, often that money is used to fund safety & resources for other workers, for vulnerable family & community members, for care practices & rituals that prioritize those who cannot hustle. We are a capstone species of the care economy.

By making sex work so untenable, these policies are actually putting sex workers in extreme danger. When sex workers are socially and economically marginalized, their work is stigmatized, and they are treated as if they're disposable, they are forced into perilous situations simply because society has chosen to prioritize the rabid ideology of a handful of truly awful people over the humanity of sex workers.

In the comics, Nazi Germany attempted to invade Wakanda during WWII.
The Black Panther, King Azzuri, leaps at a German soldier who is standing on top of a tank. He effortlessly impales the soldier on a spear while politely stating "Welcome to Wakanda."King Azzuri stands on a still smoking battlefield, surrounded by the corpses of German soldiers. He is untouched, except for some slight tears in his cape, and is holding two blades that are dripping with blood.King Azzuri addresses a captured Baron Strücker. "Strücker, you're the last Nazi left standing. Your super soldiers are all dead. Your troops are dead, captured or AWOL. Your attempted invasion of Wakanda was a failure. Return to Germany and tell your Führer what happened. And if I ever see a Nazi jackboot anywhere near my country again, I will rescind our non-interventionist policy, invade Germany myself, and kill you all. Am I clear?"

The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?
