@commander555 @JeniParsons You can't judge of what is deemed appropriate for others. There are those who suggest two men kissing is smut. Why would they get to decide if my kid can check a book with that content out of the library? What qualifies you to decide if sex in The Fourth Wing or masturbation in Gender Queer advances the story? You sound like Moms For Liberty talking points and it's not appreciated. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

@commander555 @JeniParsons Uh huh. And what smut, exactly, are you talking about? Be specific. Show your work. Let's see some titles. Are you prepared to defend your position? Have you read the books you want restricted?

Who decides what is smut and what is not smut? You? Your friends? Chaya Raichik?

Who determines who does and does not get access to smut? Politicians? Church leaders?

Are you able to answer any of these questions?

Reasons to have an emotional support bear:

- no one will bother you on the bus
- their claws make great can openers
- they love to sleep and are very good at it
- they can track burritos from many miles away
- big bear cuddles

@RVLara23 Yeah, looking at it a little closer, the picture doesn't pass the AI smell test. But even worse are the people cheering them on in the comments. "Well done!" "You almost had me!" FFS... 🙄

@RVLara23 This #LinkedIn post is absolute trash. Not funny. Not clever. Just annoying.
