I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

If your brain doesn't make the chemicals it needs, there is nothing shameful or dependent on getting those chemicals from a doctor. Saying elsewise is saying that glasses, shoes, and clothing are all shameful, as our bodies are not naturally equipped to walk on broken glass without injury.

This bill would mean school districts across the country that reject book censorship would be thrust into this maelstrom.

Late night at the art studio

In this digital painting, a girl is working on a collection of oil paintings of a tiger late at night in an art studio. A real tiger jumps straight out of the biggest canvas onto the floor in front of her, and she draws back in surprise! The girl has brown hair, brown skin, and a blue painting T-shirt that says "Save Earth" and is covered in paint marks. She is wearing casual clothes, and has clearly been on a late deadline!

Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is. Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.

The WaPo cuts are devastating. And to cut the Books section entirely makes the already bleak critical landscape even more bare. This was all preventable but Bezos, who could find the post I perpetuity without noticing it, is hellbent on destroying the Post. And for what?
