I am so fucking sick of these fucking busybody assholes and the politicians that enable them. When did it become so difficult for so many Americans to just mind their own fucking business?
Jenny's Jealous Hater's Book Club is reviewing another terrible book. Jenny is having trouble keeping this particular review going:
"Honestly, my expectations were so low for this inevitable transition that I’m not surprised Sarem can’t keep her own narrative parameters straight for more than a paragraph. I’m just going to go limp and hope the prose thinks I’m dead long enough that it lets its guard down and trundles off into the woods, thus allowing me to make my escape. "
You want to know what I was reading when I was 14? Romance novels. Good, old-fashioned, bodice-ripping, throbbing-member-entered-her-quivering-maidenhood romance novels. Marketed at adults, but the librarians let me check them out anyway. Probably because they were well aware all the time I spent reading about sex was time I wasn't actually out having sex. I wonder how many of these idiots' teenage kids are doing the same.
Also, for the record, I read The Handmaid's Tale when I was in 7th grade. And yeah, it fucked me up, if by "fucked up" you mean "opened my eyes to the dangers of religious fascism and so I, at the tender age of 12, said 'fuck that noise' and haven't looked back since."
I read a whole lot of Harold Robbins and similar stuff too -- my aunt had five or six of them upstairs in my grandmother's house. I'm sure if my very straitlaced grandmother had known 14 or 15 me was reading them -- not to mention perusing the photos in my aunt's old OB/GYN nursing textbooks -- I would have been banned from going upstairs unsupervised. But she didn't, and so I got at least some of my "sex education" from those.
Because that's where the unsupervised learning takes place. to think, we could have had a world where all learning was like that, if only we could relax and get over ourselves.
I notices a lot of oddball erotica on Amazon. Titles like "T-Rex took me out to dinner and Banged me in my Chevy Chevette," or "Prince Charming: 'I like my BDSM Backwards'". Mediocre dreck as it were.
I wonder if one could write series of cheap erotica books involving Mom's for Liberty. Hand out free copies just before various civic get togethers (city hall, etc.). Include on the back cover, non-sexual passages of seduction which transitions to the MFL characters beginning to voice X-rated Bible verses as they are committing 𝑖𝑛 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑜 in the public school library, classroom, church bell tower, what have you.
Ask the MFL what their favorite kink is and how many copies would they like to order for their family and friends.
Titles like "Banged by the First Amendment" or "Talk Dirty to Me, I'm A Mom for Liberty" just write themselves.
They're not moms, and the last thing they're "for" is liberty. A more accurate name would be Busybodies for Censorship. May they rot in the hell they purport to believe in, sooner rather than later.
I want to get in on the lucrative busybody racket so I have founded Moms for Those Cakes We Like.
Oh sure, some may object that I am not a Mom. I'm a guy and I'm not even a Dad. But I figure I can have fun and make the big bucks by siccing on the local cops to bust local bakers for putting Satanic Halloween symbols on cupcakes.
A landmark decision on this point by SCOTUS is in oral arguments.
Mr. Injustice Thomas (through his handmister Mr. Injustice Alito) hints that we are only permitted to confiscate cakes that the Founders liked.
Chief Injustice Roberts appears to be searching for a middle ground that will give Thomas everything he wants while assuming a less-glowering demeanor.
The founders made cakes out of far too many dried fruits for my taste. And chocolate was rare and expensive. But I think they would have liked chocolate had they been exposed.
Lady, not every kid in school is YOUR kid. Why not try respecting other parents' rights and let them have the liberty to choose what their kids can read?
You do realize these people's personal churches use a version of the Bible with all the naughty bits written out, right? Like, Leviticus is only one sentence long, and everyone wonders what 18:22 stands for, but no one wants to ask in case they're suspected of atheism and wind up shunned.
See, no one talks about the adultery bits, so my guess is those didn't make it into the large print pamphlets the megachurches give to their congregants.
I'm pretty sure we don't have a "Santa Rosa County" and therefore no sheriff of it. I was thinking of looking up "Santa Rosa" and seeing how many there were. Which would probably have included towns in Spain and South America, but the more the merrier. Anyway, they referenced the Governor as "DeSantis" not "Newsom" so we are probably okay.
First ;
They come for the books:
Then
Your thoughts ……….
I am so fucking sick of these fucking busybody assholes and the politicians that enable them. When did it become so difficult for so many Americans to just mind their own fucking business?
Yeah, it's a weird time to be a librarian.
Those are clearly two different genders of gargoyles.
You can tell by the wings. Duh.
To be fair, those gargoyles at the top are HAWT. Y'all should slap that image on a tshirt and pick up a few extra buckadingdongs for the WK coffers.
Jenny writes quite well. She has a blog where I enjoyed reading her taking apart fifty shades of grey.
She is currently blogging The Business Centaur's Virgin Temp, which is hilarious.

Flowers in the Attic. Sex. Incest. Attics.
Also all the stuff written by Jackie Collins I could find.
Also too Harold Robbins.
Crap was I ever a horn dog teen!
(Redundant I know!)
No more attics for teens! BAN THEM!
Seriously--attics definitely seem to be figuring into a lot of teens' lives.
Because that's where the unsupervised learning takes place. to think, we could have had a world where all learning was like that, if only we could relax and get over ourselves.
Read "Tropic of Cancer" when I was a freshman in high school. Very "educational.".
Isn't there a law against wasting the time of LEO's?

Suggest a title to good ol’ Chuck Tingle, he loooooves trolling dipshits like these.

Who's with me?
Can we confiscate cakes for evidence? Then count me in!
A landmark decision on this point by SCOTUS is in oral arguments.
Mr. Injustice Thomas (through his handmister Mr. Injustice Alito) hints that we are only permitted to confiscate cakes that the Founders liked.
Chief Injustice Roberts appears to be searching for a middle ground that will give Thomas everything he wants while assuming a less-glowering demeanor.

At Last! Someone is thinking about Those Cakes We Like!
I regret to report than in the recent election of Cake Supervisors, neither I nor any of my crazed supporters made the cut.
We were robbed! And iced!
*raises hand*
Lady, not every kid in school is YOUR kid. Why not try respecting other parents' rights and let them have the liberty to choose what their kids can read?
Oh no... they want the FREEDOM and LIBERTY to tell other parents what to do.
FTA
'any book that includes a “sex scene” is pornography and therefore illegal to let minors read.'
So ... the Christian Bible is RIGHT out (both Old & New Testaments) ?
NOTE: I apologise if this has been mentioned already but there were over 380 comments when I read the post.
You do realize these people's personal churches use a version of the Bible with all the naughty bits written out, right? Like, Leviticus is only one sentence long, and everyone wonders what 18:22 stands for, but no one wants to ask in case they're suspected of atheism and wind up shunned.
There are six direct references to homosexuality in the Bible -- three in the Old Testament and three in the New Testament.
There are over fifty direct references to adultery.
Which makes me wonder ... Are heterosexuals a bigger problem (in the eye of the Christian God) than homosexuals ?
See, no one talks about the adultery bits, so my guess is those didn't make it into the large print pamphlets the megachurches give to their congregants.
There's also that bit in ... Deuteronomy, I think? ... about the secks with the horses. Nasty filthy bibble.
Huh that roughly matches the gay vs straight ratio in the population.
No need to apologise -- your point is one of the most effective counters to fundamentalist censorship, and it always bears repeating!
At our library, you self check out. How are they proposing to monitor that? These idiots!
Obviously the book just needs to be removed then! Safety first! Think of the chiiiiiillllllldreeeeeeeeeñnnn!!!?!
Not just removed. I'm pretty sure they want to burn them all in a big bonfire in front of a liberal's house while screaming "Liberty!"
Apparently these people know nothing of "internet".
They have Covenant Eyes to keep them on the straight and narrow.
Oddly enough, there are many of us who, unlike what's-his-face, don't need an app to keep us away from porn. We're not attracted to it.
that better be Santa Rosa Florida. I live in Santa Rosa California and this would not stand.
I'm pretty sure we don't have a "Santa Rosa County" and therefore no sheriff of it. I was thinking of looking up "Santa Rosa" and seeing how many there were. Which would probably have included towns in Spain and South America, but the more the merrier. Anyway, they referenced the Governor as "DeSantis" not "Newsom" so we are probably okay.
My exact thought, except I don't live there but am very familiar with it.
