Audacia Ray: Why the Sex Positive Movement is Bad... →
audaciaray:
If we put aside our attachment to the sex positive construction of sex work, we will certainly hear things that will be hard to sit with. But for sex positivity to be a useful framework, one that encourages the pursuit of social justice, it must also engage with the ugly pieces of sexuality, and not in a simplistically reactive way.

It is not okay to use 'lame' as an insult
lamewallofshame:
A huge percentage of people have some kind of walking disability. Whenever we see the word ‘lame’ used to mean ‘pathetic’ or ‘inadequate’ or ‘laughable’, we feel insulted.
We want you to stop using ‘lame’ as a term of ridicule.
To that end, we’ve created this Lame Wall of Shame. We encourage people to post links.
Awesome. Nicola Griffith kicks ass.
