tacet··on Neil Gaiman and the perils of BDSM: is it possible to consent to sexual torture?
There have always been low key feminist bdsm-wars playing along the same lines as sex wars did.

On one hand, bdsm should not be exempt from inquiry and criticism, but this article kind of uses shock imagery instead of exploring what consent is, how does it work, how it becomes complicated.

tacet··on QSL Card
I am waiting for my first QSL card from HAARP.
tacet··on Do Prostitution Laws Affect Rape Rates?
I think the power argument still stands - sex workers often do get abused and treated badly.

On other hand I think that single cause models always are more a device of narrative than real world model.

tacet··on Amazon “suicide kits” have led to teen deaths
>I won't even address the "suicide kit" claim since that is simply sensationalist reporting.

>there must be something unique about her.

Well, years ago she was doing sexy mime routines on cam, so that was pretty unusual.

I have encountered her writtings time to time and they usually are interesting read.

tacet··on Stop telling kids that climate change will destroy their world
agency comes from power. i think nihilistic despair in kids comes from sense that people who actually have power (and for kids it is primary parents) have failed to solve the problem.

for grown ups, of course it is more nuanced - we know that we lack power to solve the issue or else we would have done it. instead we put hopes and expectations on our kids - that they will rise to meaningful power, where they can change things.

tacet··on The Uncertain Future of Ham Radio
my radio is about the same size of car radio. in fact it is meant to be mounted in car.
