Well I have no friends who are open enough to talk about this with me so here we go good girlies in my pocket screen

Ever since starting E 9 mths ago my libidos been all but shot, and since then its only ever been relieved like once or twice???

I'm lesbian so I like to read yuri in my free time and my favourite title rn is Green Tea B-word (up top to any of my girls who peruse) and oh my oh my the latest chapter was so STEAMY that i just HAD to, i could NOT stop myself

And good fricking GOD I have NEVER EVER experienced a girl-horny like this, when I was pre-HRT climaxing used to be a purely lower-body thing but ever since E, I've started feel it in my EnTiRe body and it really SWEEPS over me, especially in the chest and head,,,, its just so much fuller and overwhelming

I ended up going 5 or 6 rounds on my own until my legs were trembling and I was a puddle of useless gender fluid on my bed and I have never been SO fricking glad I'm a girl now

My heart is still pounding but thats all I just wanted to share with someone what a fricking wild experience that was because it left me so giddy and exhausted in the best way ever

!transphobes Remember, it's not a fetish.

By conceptual art I mean art where the art itself is really unimpressive, but what matters is the idea of the thing.

For example, in 1977, Walter De Maria had a one-kilometer long brass rod buried vertically in Kassel. If you visit today to see this artwork, it looks like almost nothing, a little brass token someone dropped on the ground:

For some reason, I think this is a really cool and impressive work of art, maybe because it took specialized oil industry equipment and months of drilling to create. Seeing it in person, it makes you think of everything hidden in the world that we experience only the tiniest surface impression of.

They could have just stuck a 1-meter rod in the ground and said "oh, use your imagination for the rest," but that would have been crap imho. I respect the hustle, I suppose.

In contrast, I have no time for shit like Duchamp's Fountain - like, "oh it's a urinal -- but in an ART GALLERY?! -- oh my god how will those squares handle it?"

What do other RSP folks think? Conceptual art, based or cringe?

Or what else is going on with you? I have a cold and I'm resisting the temptation to take a bunch of meds because I want to be able to drink later.

They are kicking and screaming. They are insomniacs. They are constantly hyperventilating and they are wound up and high strung. They are weak. They pray to God day and night about how worried and scared they are about every little thing. They think what they worship is good but they are enslaved and captured by fear and they worship ideas and narratives created by evil human beings. They worship fear power control and authoritarianism and are scared shitless. They believe when they die they are going to Heck for eternity they truly believe it and life is about burying yourself in distractions and illusions from this monumentally devestating truth. They are brain dead they got a bullet in their head

Seven authors have pulled out of the competition, citing free speech concerns.

Cancel culture—the practice of ruining someone's career for not sufficiently adhering to Leftist principles—appears to be dying after decades of victimizing innocent people. In what seems to be the first attempted cancelation of the new Trump administration, Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (SPSFC) announced on Wednesday that it was removing author Devon Eriksen's book from consideration for an award. The SPSFC said that it made the decision because Eriksen violated the competition's code of conduct—which had been published to X the day before this announcement.

SPSFC Twitter "We apologize for the extended delay and radio silence. Devon Eriksen has been removed from the SPSFC effective immediately for violation of our code of conduct," the SPSFC posted on X.

We apologize for the extended delay and radio silence. Devon Eriksen has been removed from the SPSFC effective immediately for violation of our code of conduct.

Eriksen is the author of "Theft of Fire: Orbital Space #1," a popular self-published book that has received glowing reviews, including one from the creator of Doom. He didn't even enter the book into the competition; his wife did, thinking she might surprise him if he won. After seeing that he had been booted from the competition, he published a fictional account of learning that he had been entered into a competition without his knowledge and had somehow violated that competition's code of conduct, which he never agreed to.

I was walking down the sidewalk the other day, relishing how warm weather comes early in Tennessee, when a weird little goblin with big eyes and floppy green ears jumped out of the bushes in front of me.

That code of conduct stated that contestants could not harass judges or other authors, which Devon didn't do—and couldn't do—since he didn't even know he was entered. But one of the judges posted on Bluesky, in a message provided to The Daily Wire, that even though Eriksen "didn't directly contact judges or other authors," his posts were "driving away judges, authors, and prospective contestants/members in huge numbers."

The SPSFC competition has been around for a few years and is currently in its fourth iteration. Nearly 200 books from independent authors are submitted and divided among various reviewers, each reviewing around 30 books. Each group then selects around four books as quarterfinalists, reads those four books, and selects two semi-finalists. Eventually, the list is narrowed down, and a winner is selected. There is no cash prize, but it allows the authors to collect reviews and publicity.

According to Christine, Eriksen's book had been selected as a quarterfinalist and was the only author to receive a "strong yes" in his batch. After dozens of authors had been cut, at least one began complaining about Eriksen's inclusion in the competition based on his numerous blog posts and tweets, which contain comments about immigration and transgenderism that frequently offend the Left. Dozens of people on Bluesky and the SPSFC groomercord started calling Eriksen a "nazi" for his posts and published some screenshots of them on Reddit along with a summary of the situation at the SPSFC. Following the prolonged outcry, the SPSFC put together a code of conduct and then used it to boot Eriksen from the competition.

But the code of conduct claims that its "goal is not to eradicate these 'bad' opinions" and that they are "not here to police people's opinions," they do just that after claiming Eriksen's posts amount to "hate speech" and "backwards attitudes."

Eriksen was not the only author targeted. E.J. Fisch, author of "Dakiti: Ziva Payvan Book 1," who wasn't even part of the SPSFC competition, spoke out against the handling of Eriksen and quickly saw her book dropped out of a promotion that is reportedly being run by one of the authors involved in the mob against Eriksen.

The announcement that Eriksen was booted from the competition was met with immediate backlash, with many other authors pulling their books from the competition. Moe Lane, whose book "Ghosts of an Alien Wind" was in the competition, asked the organizers to remove his book from consideration, though his reasoning is unclear. His announcement was posted on the Groomercord for the competition and was shared with The Daily Wire.

Other authors were more explicit about why they asked for their books to be removed from the competition. Gregory Michael, author of "Chloe's Kingdom," asked for his book to be removed because "free speech is crucial."

Removal of @Devon_Eriksen_ over politics is upsetting. Theft of Fire was likely the best book in the competition … I don’t agree with everything Devon tweets, but free speech is crucial. Please remove Chloe’s Kingdom @theSPSFC

G.S. Jennsen, author of "The Thief," posted a lengthy letter on X outlining why she wanted her book removed from the competition as well.

C.R. Walton, author of "Wilderness Five," also noted that Eriksen's removal had nothing to do with his actions relating to the competition, writing that the decision to drop him was "very clearly just caving to a hateful mob that hates the guy."

As some other authors, I'm distancing myself from @theSPSFC for its aggressive termination of @Devon_Eriksen_ for thoughts expressed on his own media channels completely unrelated to the competition.

No specifics of the violation are even given. It is very clearly just caving… https://t.co/XZkeHlzzup

Zachary Forbes requested his book, "Slipspace: Terra Nullius" be removed from the competition as well, also writing a lengthy X post about how the SPSFC's recently introduced code of conduct "was done hastily and sloppily, left intentionally vague, for the sole purpose of banning one particular contestant."

Steve Gavin also requested his book "Cosmic Strife Assault" be removed from competition, writing a short post on X calling the situation involving Eriksen a "mess."

Thank you to the @theSPSFC judges and reviewers. I have watched the mess from afar and the disqual of @Devon_Eriksen_ and the CoC. This is not a political statement. Please remove my book from consideration in this contest. I wish everyone else the best of luck. pic.twitter.com/Bcf6zj8T6j

Grace Walker publicly distanced herself from the SPSFC, seeking to have her book, "ASH (Rogues: Legends Book 1)," removed from the competition as well.

Danielle Ste. Just also cut ties with the SPSFC, although her book, "The Disk Mirror Solution (Galaxia Mortem Book 1)," had already been cut from the competition.

Watching the #SPSFC controversy over the past couple days has been disheartening.

As a science fiction author, I want to concentrate on writing science fiction people will fall in love with, not on passing a purity test whose requirements are only known to the gatekeepers.

Haldane B. Doyle, author of "Our Vitreous Womb," announced he was also withdrawing from the competition, thanking the volunteer judges but saying he only wants "to participate in indie sci fi competitions that judge the books and not the authors, regardless of the criteria applied."

I am officially withdrawing "Our Vitreous Womb" from the #SPSFC competition. I'm deeply appreciative of the volunteer judges @theSPSFC , but I only want to participate in indie sci fi competitions that judge the books and not the authors, regardless of the criteria applied.

Even one of the competition's judging teams decided to pull out of the competition—not because they agreed with what Eriksen had said—but because of how SPSFC handled the situation. The eight authors—other than Ste. Just—who have so far withdrawn from the competition were quarterfinalists, meaning they had already advanced over about 30 other competitors in each of their respective judging groups.

Eric Kay, author of "Above Dark Waters," wrote on X that his book had already been cut, but questioned why the people behind the competition couldn't just cut Eriksen and write a nice review for his book, as they had done for Kay's book.

I was in the competition and was already cut. Why couldn't they simply cut Devon at the Quarterfinals and write a nice review like below?

Because they wanted to make an example and keep purity and 'do something' above sense. pic.twitter.com/Nl1XjTathb

The idea that fellow competitors would drop out of a competition in solidarity with one of their own is almost unheard of when it comes to these types of cancelations and shows the ideology of "cancel culture" may no longer be tolerated. Christine Eriksen wrote on X that "cancelations are canceled" and pointed out that her husband's book has had one of its best sales days to date.

Cancelations are ✨C A N C E L E D✨

A big thank you to everyone who's shown support for @Devon_Eriksen_'s unfair treatment in this. I was excited to submit Theft of Fire to a fun little competition, but when they created a CoC explicity to appease a mob and kick him out? 😭 https://t.co/jp57ZK5lMw pic.twitter.com/QIg4uANEXD

Other authors who dropped out of the competition said they had seen an increase in sales. Michael, who was the first to withdraw from the competition, noted that "Chloe's Kingdom" was now #1 on Amazon, "not from winning a competition – but for standing up for free speech. Doing the right thing feels good."

CHLOE'S KINGDOM is #1 on Amazon! 🚀 Not from winning a competition—but for standing up for free speech. Doing the right thing feels good.

In a post shared with The Daily Wire, John A. Douglas, author of "The Black Crown," commented that the SPSFC doesn't "fully understand the schism kicking Devon out has caused in the indie author spaces." "DevonGate is a seismic shift in the indie landscape," Douglas added. "And he didn't even DO anything!"

Emília Pérez actor ousted as a chudette called out fentanyl Floyd and Muzzies

I will genuinely never understand what these people see in Emilia Perez, it's shocking how many awards it's winning

Hollywood wants to pat itself on the back for making a movie about a transgender character.

I can't even find anyone who likes it. With Green Book or Crash, I get it. I knew lots of people who liked those movies even if they didn't think they were awards contenders. Only 3 movies have ever had more noms than Emelia Perez. Genuinely wild.

I can find 100s of comments on reddit alone praising the movie before the CHUD reveal

Voting closed prior to the recent drama surrounding Emilia Pérez, so that's something to consider. However, the movie is a piece of trash to begin with and the director is a turd bag to boot

It's a dogshit movie made by a director who's almost as much of a shit person as the lead actress herself, and I kinda hate that going forward, the only reason it won't be awarded as much as it is now is bc of KSG's antics—bc it deserves zero awards for its quality alone.

It's so bad. I had unfortunately heard the complaints before I went to watch it, but went in with an open mind. The thing that makes me the angriest is that by all surface metrics I should like a film like this. I have a number of close friends who are trans and who I've been close to during their various transitions. Been a person who was there for them as they dealt with their families falling apart. I'm straight and cis but this is near and dear to me.

But the film is just terrible. I couldn't find any empathy for the characters. Maybe it's the flat acting by some normally amazing people. There's no character building. The songs are also flat, both in expressiveness and tonality. I speak pretty decent Spanish so it wasn't a language barrier. I knew what they were saying for 90% of it and had subtitles for the rest. The melodies, if you can call them that, seem low effort. The lyrics in a few of the songs had me laughing at how inane they were, and I'm not talking about the Thai s*x clinic song that everyone rightfully ridicules. Musicals are known for silly songs but that's on purpose. This is trying to take itself seriously. The cinematography is questionable. I was amazed to see it was nominated for that. It's just uncreative and again, flat. Boring. Not groundbreaking. Not even mildly interesting.

And even with all of that, it could still be salvageable. But you have an old French cis dude writing in Spanish about Mexican trans people?! And then directing it? What is this insanity? I could go on but it's a kick in the face that I (and many others including many in the LGBT+ community) now get to be the buttholes who are saying this apparent masterpiece doesn't deserve any of these nominations. So yeah frick the Academy for their gratuitous self congratulatory bullshit. These are some of the same people who think Roman Polanski did nothing wrong. Frick em.

Emilia still won a lot is interesting. Either votes have been locked for months now or the Hollywood inner circle dont care for the discourse. Wonder how Oscar will do though

Voting closed prior to the drama

I guess the Oscar Jannies LOCKED the thread

Whatever this guy is smoking I will NOT have it

I'm not a fan of the film either, but we just can't ignore that apparently a lot of people see quality in this film and it extends outside the Academy. It's a polarizing movie, with great disparity in the Rotten tomatoes score (72% vs 17% lol) and even though I feel like it's a weird mess, a lot of people find something greatly enjoyable about the film.

For instance, at the Toronto International Film Festival. It has around 480.000 attendees. Regular movie goers. They're not millionaires or Academy members. Of all the films on the program they can vote for the ones they love the most, the People's Choice Award, they voted for Emilia Perez. And it got the runner-up prize there.

The Cannes jury (listed below) awarded it as well, even consisting of J.A. Bayona who speaks Spanish.

• Greta Gerwig, American actress and filmmaker – Jury President

• J. A. Bayona, Spanish filmmaker

• Ebru Ceylan, Turkish actress and screenwriter

• Pierfrancesco Favino, Italian actor and producer

• Lily Gladstone, American actress

• Eva Green, French actress

• Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japanese filmmaker and producer

• Nadine Labaki, Lebanese actress and filmmaker

• Omar Sy, French actor

People keep mentioning the 13 Oscar nominations. Well, it got 15(!) BAFTA nominations. The British Academy consists of over 13000 people.

Denis Villeneuve called it one of the best movies of the year.

"I really loved Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez. I thought that it was very original and inspiring. Jacques Audiard's movies always give me a boost of energy, he's one of our best filmmakers."

Dune 2 director Denis Villeneuve reveals his favorite films of 2024, from a divisive Netflix musical to Daniel Craig's latest feature

James Cameron loved it.

"What I saw that blew me away was Emilia Pérez. I have seen it three times now. It's just not like any other film that's ever been made, you know? I mean, I think it's bold, it's daring, it's a vision. It's beautifully executed. It's a beautiful piece of filmmaking."

'I Have Seen It 3 Times': James Cameron Gives High Praise to Controversial Netflix Hit

I am equally baffled by it. I can understand some of the praise of it. I gave it a 5/10, but it's nowhere near my top spots in any categories, but we can't just stick to the Reddit sphere and ignore that there is incredible passion for the film.

If Emilia Pérez wins any Oscars, the Academy is a farce.

really neighbor, only now you say this? because of the CHUDening ?

Emilia Perez won Best Foreign Language Film here, it's sending me. "'Emilia Pérez,' its beleaguered star Karla Sofia Gascon not present (as she is not expected to be for the rest of awards season), won Best Foreign Language Film, Best Song (for 'El Mal'), and Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña." So the "most prizes" isn't too egregious for Emilia Perez considering it's those, only three, awards.

Its winning of Best Foreign Language Film is such an irony when the film has been widely panned for stereotyping Mexico, its actors' poor accents, the inaccurate contexts of its dialogues, and made by a director who doesnt speak the language and apparently said Spanish is a language of poor countries (paraphrased) in an interview.

A Dolly Parton-themed musical had to be suspended mid-show when homophobic abuse was hurled at the stage, an actor in the production has claimed.

Stevie Webb said an incident at the Opera House in Manchester during Here You Come Again saw the whole cast "leave the stage, because a woman was so disgusted there was a gay character on the stage".

Mr Webb, who plays a superfan of the country music superstar in the show, said there had also been problems during the London run of the production.

He described an incident involving a man shouting an offensive slur and adding: "I just want to see Dolly Parton."

How gay must this gay character be if multiple attendees of a Dolly Parton musical are offended?
