Come on, rise to the challenge! You can do this!

(But, yeah, sometimes editing is kind of painful, esp. if it all works and you're just trying to get the length down.😢)

I just need to smooth out the ending and I have about 1200 words left to do it. Which means I will probably overshoot by a few hundred and then get the scissors out.

i have 1000 left and i could easily write another 3 or 4k. at least it's a very rough draft, leaving a lot of room for trimming. smile

can we change the word count to 7k please? I'm going to have real issues with 5k... lol

He's too old. I've seen several videos where Biden's out of it. Anyone can find them if they want.

But it's his policies that have opened our southern border, and I think that'll be good for the US in the long run. So I hope he doesn't drop out, although I think his age will be a real factor in the election. I remember when Hillary said she'd be able to take a call at 3 AM. I've got to wonder about Biden being woken up at 3 PM.

i think Biden's not doing a bad job, all things considered. that said, when he decided to run, my understanding was it was going to be single-term thing. he really needs to hand the torch to someone younger - a new generation. that goes for pretty much everyone in his age group, btw. Trump, McConnell... the list goes on and on. we really could use some fresh blood and fresh ideas.

that said, i'll probably vote for him if he does, given the alternatives so far presented.

There will be less of it if they're given prison sentences, don't you think?

I do.

Depends. or it might just incite more violence. notice the groups cited. Proud Boys. Neo-Nazis. Patriot Front. Not exactly hotbeds of intelligence and common sense. Lots of bigotry and racism, though.

And in 2022...

A number of 2022 incidents involved violence or weapons. Extremist groups like the Proud Boys, Patriot Front, and local white supremacist chapters were involved in several incidents.

  • In Tulsa, OK, this October, security video captured a person smashing the windows of a donut shop before lighting a Molotov cocktail and firebombing the storefront.

  • A bomb threat was emailed to a local news station in South Carolina, claiming several bombs were planted at a restaurant hosting drag brunch and threatening to kill performers and attendees.

  • About 50 members of the Proud Boys extremist group armed with long guns and in helmets, full face masks and flak jackets protested Drag Story Hour at a church in Ohio.

  • Neo-Nazis with swastikas and transphobic signs at a Pflugerville, TX, restaurant hosting a drag brunch.

  • Armed protestors, raising hands in Nazi salutes, disrupt a drag bingo fundraiser in Katy, TX.

  • Alleged Proud Boys disrupt multiple LGBTQ-inclusive events in Arlington, TX, blocking the sidewalk, falsely claiming attendees were "pedophiles."
    Extremist protesters with a history of recording and photographing children without consent protest drag performances at a restaurant in Houston.

  • San Antonio concert venue cancels upcoming drag shows for the year, citing threats against performers and staff.
    In Eugene, OR, this October, protesters carried semiautomatic rifles and threw rocks and smoke bombs.

  • In the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, IL, in September, a public library canceled a drag bingo event after receiving a threatening letter that included a bullet and the phrase “more to come.”

  • In Memphis, Tennessee, in September, local leaders said Proud Boys were among the armed protesters that showed up to a drag event at the Museum of Science and Industry, forcing the event’s last-minute cancellation.

  • In Sparks, NV, in June, children at the town library ran for safety from a Proud Boys protester carrying a gun.

  • In Couer d’Alene, ID, in June, police arrested 31 Patriot Front members who had traveled from ten different states armed with riot gear and smoke grenades to protest a Pride event that had been targeted by LibsOfTikTok online.

I don't know much about how English law works, but some counterprotesters received justice yesterday in Fort Worth.

Armed 'Antifa' militants attacked drag show protesters but ended up getting arrested. One of the counterprotesters allegedly pepper-sprayed the protesters across the street from a drag show in Fort Worth, Texas, leading to three arrests, according to the city's police department.

https://twitter.com/fortworthpd/status/1650634900750364673

 

Black-clad counterprotesters in tactical gear stood outside Fort Brewery and Pizza as the restaurant hosted a drag show Sunday, according to a news release from the Fort Worth Police Department.

 

Protesters for ‘Protect Texas Kids’ demonstrated across the street.

 

Counterprotester Samuel Folks, 20, allegedly went over to the protesters and pepper-sprayed them, subsequently swinging at police when they tried to arrest him. Counterprotester Christopher Guillott, 33, is accused of attacking officers with an umbrella and hitting one in the face as they attempted to handcuff Folks, with both men continuing to resist arrest. A third counterprotester Meghan Grant, 37, allegedly tried to charge past the officers to reach Folks and Grant and subsequently failed to comply with an officer before ultimately being arrested herself, the department reported.

 

Folks was arrested on suspicion of crimes including assault causing bodily injury, while he and Guillott both face a second-degree felony charge for allegedly assaulting a peace officer. Police arrested Grant on suspicion of interfering with public duties and resisting arrest.

I wouldn't say "sucks". Is what it is and it's not unreasonable. When you select create new topic the membership window drops down with the featured Platinum. Three options total, the gold seems the best option. The could add a unique perk to the platinum. Like 15 minutes of dirty chat with the moderator of your choice. That'd be special. I don't use twitter, so why are you giving me the business?

please stay on topic. That goes for you, too, Jack. smile

about 1000 words into a diesel punk story for the comp, btw. having fun with it, and yes, it's a full fledged bdsm story biggrin

Quote by Urban_Fox

Apologies! Sorry, thought "Rainbow" was the safest way to refer to the organization because, it is their symbol of choice and all. I used to get called a Pollock a lot especially in the 80's. But after the age of 20 it never really bothered me much. Before i reached the age of 20 i just never admitted to being Polish. I was a closet Pollock.

Allow me to clarify. Riley gains drew a lot of shade because she said she was uncomfortable changing with a trans swimmer in the women's locker room. Especially when the trans swimmer's genitalia are different from the rest of those in the locker room.. She wasn't the only one who was uncomfortable but, she's the only one to publicly speak out. Look what that got her.

1) did you getting called a "pollock" go hand in hand with you being beaten up and left for dead? happens all too often to trans people. consider it an education and stick with the safe labels - lgbtq+ is probably the best one to use. consider it a sign of respect.

2) so, accusing her of "swinging her dick around in the ladies' locker room" was entirely inaccurate and histrionics on your part. got ya. btw, how did she know that the trans swimmer's genitalia were different? is this a known fact or an assumption?

KInd of drunk? as in buzzed? If he had not had made inappropriate physical contact with you, would you still have punched him if he carried on verbally? Like he woulnd't take a hint and went on about your juicy booty and stuff?

Let me share a story with you from the day post High School. My friend's parents had a friend of theirs staying with them for awhile. He was gay no secret there. We hung out with him a bit. He bought us beer and drank with us it was all cool. Anyway. He claimed to give a great massage. My buddy worked out quite a bit and and decided to give it ago one day after weight lifting or whatever. So he's lying face down on the bed gettin a massage. Then BOOM there's the reach around and under. Dude grabs my buddy's stuff. So, this guy winds up on the floor getting kicked in the ribs repeatedly. After that incident we just ignored him thru the rest of the duration of his stay. Friend never told his parents about the incident. Was quit awkward goin over there after that.

1)drunk or buzzed. does it matter? no matter what his state, what he did/said was inappropriate.

2) if he''d not made physical contact would i still have hit him? probably not. hard to say. this was one of my first outings after being violently sexually assaulted. the comment alone might have gotten him punched, although i like to think that i'm better than that and would have just called him out on being a douchebag. grabbing me, tho, crossed the line. fyi, the bouncer was already pretty much ready to toss him, so if he'd continued to verbally harass me he would have gotten tossed. guaranteed.

3) unwanted/unwelcome sexual contact like that is not cool no matter who is doing it. what he did was undefendable. that said, a bunch of guys standing around and kicking someone in the ribs repeatedly is excessive and would possibly be considered assault and battery in most courts of laws. depends on how badly you hurt him and if he'd pressed charges.

4) on that note, this has strayed off the subject. if you wish to continue this convo, please start a new thread and i'll be happy to contribute.

ok. you're biased. see? every once in a while we can agree on something.

btw, i find it funny that a few of the tags we found were things like "iluvsprite" "spriteisawsome" and... i forget the others.. equally funny. "spritehasaniceass" possibly? (and no, for once, i am NOT making shit up lol)

Quote by Urban_Fox
NO, Based on the standards of today? You would be considered a Straightaphobe and a perpetrator of straight hate.

cool, thing is, i would never actually DO that cause i'm neither an asshole nor a straitaphobe. that said, i did punch a straight guy once. in a bar. he was kind of drunk and hitting on my wife. we asked him to take himself elsewhere and then, when i went to get to the bar for a refill he grabbed my ass and told me i was pretty enough to . so yeah, i punched him. him being straight had nothing to do with it, btw. plenty of straight guys are decent human beings. HE was not. he deserved to get punched.

You may not care much about flaunting and celebration but, seems the rest do.

Hmmmmm, Appears you' re very much into "self" like "do as thou wilt" selfishness.

Are you a Satanist? FAIL SATAN!!!!! lol i had to.

since when did celebrating become a bad thing? hell, we celebrate birthdays, christmas, and when our team win a game. and yes, some people celebrate satan. satin, too. your attempt at humor, btw, leaves much to be desired. maybe don't quite your day job.

Edit: Disclamer: Rachel just got back from lunch with her mother in law, who is, sadly, homophobic, and is kinda drunk biggrin

Quote by Urban_Fox

Pretty sure she(Gaines) went there to speak on the spirit of competition. But, she's also been targeted for not feeling comfortable with a swingin dick prancing around in the women's locker room. Now she's a transphobe in the eyes of the alphabet . Is that better than "Rainbow"? Seriously, If it's not some obscure bakery refusing to make a gay cake, or

not wanting male parts in the Ladies room it's a big issue. LGBTQ+ has a problem with everything. Everything.

first off, "rainbow" is kind of offensive. secondly, i don't recall anyone talking about a dick swinging around in the woman's locker room? like literally, someone's walking around the place with their dick hanging out and swinging it? back to "Rainbow". news alert. not all gay people thing alike. nor do all black, hispanic, asian, etc. welcome to the 21 century. come join us. we have pizza. also. and "the alphabet"? see my above comment about "rainbow". LGBTQ+ please or i'll start referring to you as STW. (straight white grandpa). it's called respect. and no, again, we're not all cookie cutter. some of us have problems with some things, some don't. to lump everyone into one pot is kind of dumb. btw, the definition of "everything" is.... well, everything. i am sure that there is at least one thing that "the LGBTQ+ doesn't have a problem with. personally, i don't have a problem, off the top of my head, with strawberry milkshakes, honeybees, and motorcycles. see? not everything.

Quote by Urban_Fox

But, she was neither of those and failed us miserably. That's why she lost miserably in reelection bid.

Or, as some would have you believe she lost because she's a black Lesbian.

Which reason do you believe?

i am just pointing out that i don't judge politicians, or people for that matter, on how they look. seems to me that you're just making fun of her because, in your opinion, she's not good-looking. not everyone is good-looking. Abe Lincoln, for example, wasn't that good-looking, but i think we can all agree he was one hell of a president. judge her for what she accomplished or didn't. looks shouldn't play into that. period. she's a politician, not a fashion model. as for why she lost, i think she lost because people lost their confidence in her. simple as that.

Quote by Urban_Fox

Ok, Just post an honest reply to number 3, on chasing Riley Gaines. Pleazzzzzzz. I'm saying The Rainbow isn't innocent in the violence deparment. Saying they that are their being left no choice but to react that way is not an answer.

ok. How many people were chasing Riley Gaines? Let's say a few dozen? More? let's say 100 for arguments sake. do they suddenly represent all trans people? about 1.6 million people in the states over the age of 13 identify as trans so, doing the math, 1.6 million people minus 100 just want to be left alone. there are extremists in every group. not denying that. the extremists in the so-called "Rainbow" aren't currently legislating laws. Nor are they a majority. let's say i go out and punch some straight people later on tonight just for being straight. does that mean that all lesbians are violence-prone? Or does that just make me an asshole? (hint: it's the second choice).

Quote by NishasWorld

Thank you, Sprite. I’ll certainly check out CuriousAnnie’s stories. She’s great. 🙂X

she's actually one of my fav writers (and people) here, so yeah, do so. and i love that you bring a different flavor with YOUR stories (i have had the chance to read a couple - i think i modded one, at least? lol)

a note, not related to the comp. one of the things that keeps me here, is that Lush has always made an effort to be inclusive and encourage diversity, be it with gender, sexuality, tastes, culture, ethnicity... in all ways, basically. is our record perfect? no. do we try hard? i think we do. when someone posts something like NishaW, we never ever put it in the "whining box". we take it seriously and take a look at how we handle things. not too long ago we expanded our gender and sexuality choices because someone brought the issue up. yes, sometimes we're a little slow to act, but we do try to make changes when it's the right thing to do.

hopefully that kind of thing will never stop and we certainly welcome different points of view - most of the mods here have Euro-centric roots so we tend not to see things from other POVS - it's not for lack of trying, but it is what it is - what that means is we NEED people to speak up and point things out like this (either in public forums or, hell, MSG me if you're shy and i promise to take you seriously) from time to time so we can do something about it. and i love that there are people like you and like Annie and others who bring that to the table in their stories, so thank you to those who so so. it's actually much appreciated. smile

Quote by Urban_Fox

Few replies for you

1) But even adults do that to other adults via rumors/gossip and can be quite cruel/damaging. Human Nature maybe?

2) I'm not up on adults fucking with kids. Pick on someone your own size.

3) If Trans people just wanna be left alone and live a happy peacefully normal life? why are the chasing Riley Gaines

Down a hallway at a public speaking event?

4) why are kids so convinced they're in the wrong body when they haven't really been in it that long to fully experience what the original model is all about? How bout 21 is age required to make that decision? When you got some tenure under ur belt of life.

5) Psychologist in a video stated that was one of the criteria for determining the true gender of a child. Also, the colors they are drawn to, Pink,blue etc... Again from a video by a psychologist.

6) When faced with no other choice was the message.

7) Take out as many as you can or try to do as much damage as you can before they take you down. Remember! bullies and thugs always target they weak/vulnerable ones. Surprise them, make em regret it.

Like i said kids used to get bullied for their lunch money. Technically robbery but, boys will be boys ya know.

what Dani said (see above).
