if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Been thinking about one of my favourite poems lately, 'Clancy Of The Overflow', by Banjo Patterson. Particularly this part: (link to full poem in next part)

In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy
Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the Western drovers go;
As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing,
For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know.

And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him
In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars,
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars.
*An excerpt from 'Clancy Of The Overflow" by Banjo Patterson:

I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy
Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall,
And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city
Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all.

Lack of access to health care, to stable housing, to food, are all types of systemic violence. The problems that stem from these factors are problems that we can prevent. And I believe we can do that, if we choose to.

I'm getting so sick of headlines shrieking that the Fanta Fuhrer did something illegal and that's *TOTALLY gonna be the end of him.* Laws mean nothing unless someone enforces it and holds people to account, and that's the problem the US has right now. Nobody is doing that to the ruling class.

Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.
