Insanity

I Can’t Even

Look at this from the CDC. (emphasis added by me)

Even if you feel well, here are some ways to reduce your chances of being exposed to monkeypox if you are sexually active:

  • Take a temporary break from activities that increase exposure to monkeypox until you are two weeks after your second dose. This will greatly reduce your risk.
  • Limit your number of sex partners to reduce your likelihood of exposure.
  • Spaces like back rooms, saunas, sex clubs, or private and public sex parties, where intimate, often anonymous sexual contact with multiple partners occurs—are more likely to spread monkeypox.
  • Condoms (latex or polyurethane) may protect your anus (butthole), mouth, penis, or vagina from exposure to monkeypox. However, condoms alone may not prevent all exposures to monkeypox since the rash can occur on other parts of the body.
  • Gloves (latex, polyurethane, or nitrile) might also reduce the possibility of exposure if inserting fingers or hands into the vagina or the anus. The gloves must cover all exposed skin and be removed carefully to avoid touching the outer surface.
  • Avoid kissing or exchanging spit since monkeypox can spread this way.
  • Masturbate together at a distance without touching each other and without touching any rash.
  • Have virtual sex with no in-person contact.
  • Consider having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash is present, reducing as much skin-to-skin contact as possible. Leather or latex gear also provides a barrier to skin-to-skin contact; just be sure to change or clean clothes/gear between partners and after use.
  • Be aware that monkeypox can also spread through respiratory secretions with close, face-to-face contact.
  • Remember to wash your hands, fetish gear, sex toys, and any fabrics (bedding, towels, clothes) after having sex. Learn more about infection control.

How about this- just don’t go to a bath house and fuck dozens of guys that you don’t even know in the ass? Or let them do the same to you?

Librarian Groomers

When I was teaching, every few years the school district had to select a new textbook. The process would include the district narrowing it down to a few likely candidates. The books which effectively covered your student benchmarks were listed, and parents would have an opportunity to look them over. So did teachers. The final textbooks were then selected with this feedback in mind.

After a book was chosen, there were of course dozens of books that were not chosen. No one ever accused the schools of censorship or book banning because they chose to have one book over another.

Not so much anymore. Now school librarians are “enraged” because schools are not allowing them to promote books that openly discuss fellatio between a 12 year old boy and a grown man, called Lawn Boy. There is also the story about two teen boys who wake up to discover they are in space before embarking on a gay love affair, or stories about how hard it is to be a teen transgender. They complain about parents not wanting their children to read about fathers raping their daughters.

This is just a way for librarians to attempt to get grooming past parents who don’t want their children educated in how to be sexual deviants. This particular story even goes on to complain that complaints about CRT are actually just “amorphous conspiracy theories” that gained traction in conservative circles last year, before going on to blame these “book bans” on deep-pocketed rightwing donors who are carrying out a campaign to ban books from school libraries, often focused on works that address race, LGBTQ issues or marginalized communities.

You will note that none of the “banned books” these librarians are fighting for are things like the Bible, Rush Limbaugh’s “The Way Things Ought to Be,” or other books from the right.

Librarians are claiming that they are “banding together” to fight “book bans.” Look- the books aren’t being banned. The parents and others who pay the taxes that fund your library and your job have decided that they don’t want to use their money to fund their children reading stories with passages in them like this one:

What if I told you I touched another guy’s dick? What if I told you I sucked it? I was ten years old, but it’s true. I put Doug Goebbels’ dick in my mouth. I was in fourth grade, it was no big deal. He sucked mine too. And you know what, it wasn’t terrible.

Citation from “Lawn Boy”

You want to publish a book like that, fine. It isn’t illegal. This isn’t a First Amendment issue. No one is restricting your speech. The First Amendment prevents the government from restricting you from speaking your mind. What it doesn’t do is require that the government fund it.

When you are a librarian in a government funded facility, you are an agent of the government. While you are acting as an agent of the government, you are not acting in your individual capacity. This is why clerks of court can’t refuse to issue a marriage license. This is why a judge can’t have a sign with the 10 commandments mounted on the front of his desk in the court room. It’s also why teachers can’t explain gay sex to children and why librarians don’t get to push children to read “how to” books on sucking dick.

I will fight against using taxpayer funds to provide that book to children, you sick fucks.

This Happens Too Often

Or: “It followed me home, can I keep it?”

A child is missing before being “found” at a female teacher’s house. I wonder what she was planning on doing with him. In comments, people are saying that there is no evidence that she was going to molest him, and the typical shit about “she was hot, this will make the kid popular” bullshit.

A groomer is a groomer. A molester is a molester.

EDITED TO ADD:

The teacher’s arrest affidavit is here. (pdf alert) Here is the information on the class she teaches, which is English 1. The arrest affidavit says that she was his English teacher last year, meaning that the boy is most likely a 15 year old who is just beginning the 10th grade.

No mention is made of sexual activity. I wonder if it was that, or if the teacher was planning on helping the boy become a girl.

Our Kids are Watching

Some of you have asked why we should care when people like Demi Lovato make it into the news when they declare that their pronouns have changed. Again.

We should care because your kids are watching. They see someone who is on the children’s shows that they watch, telling them that they can be trans. This is just another way of grooming children.

Instead of ignoring them, ceding the field to them, letting them have the megaphone, we should be opposing them. We should be calling them out for this. Don’t let them be the only ones who get to talk to your kids about this. Children are impressionable. Let’s give children the other viewpoint.

Lost Workforce

This is why the US won’t ever surpass China and other nations in manufacturing or most other fields ever again. How can any manager think that they can compete with a business with actual work ethics if all of their employees work a 24 hour workweek with unlimited paid time off working from home?

American workers have become lazy, unproductive losers that won’t get anything done, but demand high wages and lavish benefits.

You aren’t feeling okay today & need a mental health day? We gotchu. Out of PTO but need an extra day? Not an issue. Soon the boomers are outta here & it’s our turn to set the standard.

What are you going to do when all of the dead wood is costing you tons in expenses, killing your margins, and your Chinese competitor is producing your product at half the cost?

“Bring on the 4-day workweeks and 6-hour days,” one commenter said. “I currently do nothing half the day.”

To me, this isn’t an argument for giving you more time off, this is an argument for firing two employees and outsourcing their job to some Indian call center that will do twice the work at half the cost. We all know that, should you get a 24 hour workweek, you aren’t going to magically become more productive. Instead of your current 20 hours of work in a 40 hour workweek, you will be at work for 24 hours a week, being paid like you are there for 40 hours, but only producing about 8 hours of real work. That is a recipe for being replaced.

The US is doomed. We are headed for the new Dark Ages and the rise of the new Chinese dynasty.

Maybe we deserve it.

They Want You to Suffer

After it was pointed out that, should Americans switch to electric cars, it would require 4 times more electricity to charge them than Americans use on air conditioning, CNN tells us that we don’t need air conditioning because Europe doesn’t use it.

Let’s begin with a geography lesson. Berlin, the town where the author of the article lives without air conditioning, is at 52.52 degrees north latitude. The entire continental US is south of that line. The closest North American city to that latitude is Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, which is located at 51 degrees north.

Rome is located at about the latitude of Boston. Atlanta is on the 34th parallel, which places it as far north as Beirut and Tripoli. Orlando is near the 29th parallel, which places it as far north as Kuwait city. Miami is near Luxor, Egypt in latitude.

During the summer, Rome is ten degrees Fahrenheit cooler than Miami, on average. Hell, in Arizona it gets too hot for airplanes to fly. The US is warmer in summer, and colder in the winter than most of Europe.

Right now, all I am seeing on the news is the people in Europe whining like little bitches about how hot it is over there, because it is 100 degrees in the afternoon. Here in central Florida, we call that June, July, and August. They are closing roads because it looks like this:

Pussies. Our roads look like that when they are new. And what’s this about house fires? Do British homes spontaneously combust at 100F?

So Europe can go fuck themselves.

Phobia

This couple is so phobic about guns, they are freaking out about their daughter having a pistol safe for securing her diary from a snooping brother.

The problem: The black box turns out to be a gun safe! (A friend of my husband told us.) We’re not worried that she has a gun; she helped organize a school rally to tighten our state’s gun laws. But she refuses to give up the safe, and we don’t want it in our house. Help!

Pathological.

No Grooming

Teachers in Orange county, Florida are upset that they can’t groom kids

The Orange County teachers union says many teachers are worried the laws could stamp out all conversation related to race and the LGBTQ community.

“Teachers were hearing that they won’t be allowed to wear clothing that was rainbow colored or rainbow lanyards or they won’t be able to wear Black Lives Matter shirts,”

So no political indoctrination allowed while you are being paid to teach. Do that shit on your own time.

“Do we obey what we know is right as we did with humanity, as we did with our community, as we did with our students, or do we chose to comply with a wrongful law that disenfranchises our most vulnerable?”

Go ahead. FAFO.
