  1. CW: Graphic descriptions of bodily mutilation.

    theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/a

    This story and that of Marius Gustavson (linked in the article) engaged my interest because I have read very little about the sexual preferences and practices described. I find them more than a little off-putting.

    Nevertheless, beyond the sensationalistic interest, the articles did get me thinking.

    I am aware of this equation:

    My Thing That I Really Like = Your Fetish = Their Weird Fixation.

    Yet in addition to the standard liberal thoughts about the harm principle, the licitness or otherwise of paternalism, informed consent and so on, I also found myself wondering about the propriety of terms like "disgust" and "perversion".

    I still have not sorted my thoughts out.

  3. Enthymemes: The Argument You Finish Yourself

    "Because you're worth it." Four words, running in L'Oréal advertising since 1971, and by the time you reached the period you had already done the heavy lifting. No one told you that personal worth justifies the purchase, that expensive cosmetics are how worth gets expressed, that you in particular qualify for the category. You supplied every one of those claims yourself, silently, in the half second the slogan allowed. The advertiser handed over a conclusion and trusted you to build the staircase leading up to it. […]

  7. Ok you crime-writing, horror-writing, amputators and/or butcher weirdos, I'm writing a scene in which a human hand gets removed from a corpse, & I'm looking for ways that can be done with a serrated knife by someone not particularly strong. Not having much luck searching for disarticulation. My google-fu is failing me. Any hints? #amputation #butcher #AmWritingHorror #WritingCommunity

  9. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. "Figures show 73% of people with #learning #disabilities, 86% of those who had an #amputation, & 62% of #claimants with #cerebral #palsy were given fixed-term #awards - meaning they are required to undergo #reassessments every 3 years. This also applied to 89% of claimants with #multiple #sclerosis & 61% with Parkinson’s - conditions with little to no prospect of significant #improvement." This is all part of the ongoing #war against the #disabled in the #UK!

  11. Katholische Kirche, hört gut zu: Euer Schweigen macht euch mitschuldig. Wenn morgen Mittag keine Reue über die Äther geht, wird die Reinigung euch als Erste treffen. Der Besen der Orthodoxie ist unerbittlich. #Vatikan #Urteil

    10/14 Britta im Ministerium, Berta im Feld – ihr seid alle eins. Ein bösartiger Organismus, der nun amputiert wird. Die Welt schaut zu, wie das System Berta in sich zusammenbricht. #Amputation #Gerechtigkeit

  12. Mise à jour amputation jour 365 ...
    Ça y est, déjà 1 an aujourd'hui même que je me suis fait amputer une partie de ma jambe gauche et ce fût toute une année. Je voudrais remercier mon entourage qui mon grandement soutenue dans cette épreuve mais en particulier mon p'tit frère qui sans lui, je ne serai qu'un souvenir virtuel.
    merci

  13. Mise à jour amputation jour #350 ...
    Enfin déménagé dans mon chez-nous, après avoir passé 3 mois dans un organiste pour sans-abris. Je marche maintenant comme un vrai bipède depuis juin et le prochain step sera le moulage pour ma vrai jambe artifielle et se sera fini pour la jambe "école" que j'utilise depuis mars.

  14. Ein britischer Chirurg ließ sich aus sexuellem Fetisch beide Unterschenkel amputieren und täuschte eine Krankheit vor, um über 500.000€ von der Versicherung zu kassieren. Er wurde wegen Betrugs und Besitz extremer Pornografie zu 2 Jahren und 8 Monaten Haft verurteilt. 🔪🦵 #Versicherungsbetrug #Amputation n-tv.de/panorama/Chirurg-mit-A

  16. Mise à jour amputation jour #308
    Ce matin fû mon examen final concernant le port de ma prothèse avec un docteur, une ergothérapeute et mon prothésiste. Tout c'est bien passé et je peux passer à l'étape suivante qui consiste à construire ma vrai jambe artificielle et lâcher celle que je me sert depuis mars dernier. Mon prothésiste va me commander un pied en carbone et la prise du moulage de mon moignon ce fera prochainement.

  17. Cornwall surgeon accused of fraud over #amputation of his own legs - theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j "Neil Hopper, 49, from Truro appears in court accused of lying to insurers about how he lost his legs" er, wut?

  19. I will never understand the amputation fetish, but of course the real crime here is insurance fraud, and making himself Disabled, how can the State make money of him like that?! How dare he?! /s

  21. Mise à jour amputation jour no.241
    Moulage de mon pied pour la confection de mes souliers orthopédique car avec un seul pied, il me faut le chouchouté autant que mon moignon.

  22. Ce midi, je vais encore au gym pour continuer mon entrainement à la marche avec ma prothèse. Ensuite un tour chez le prothésite pour ajuster la prothèse.

  23. Ich kann den Hinweis auf das Autofahren trotz Amputation nachvollziehen, ist nun mal leider die Mobilität, den die meisten praktizieren.
    Allerdings hätte ich mir neben dem kleinen Foto eines beidseitig unterschenkelamputierten Radfahrers weiteres Informationsmaterial zum Thema Radfahren gewünscht. Beispielsweise Informationen über das Radfahren mit Pedalpendel, Pedalverkürzung, Trimobile und ähnlichen Hilfsmitteln.

  25. I often get strangers asking "How did you lose your leg?"
    The vast majority of the time I feel like it's just an honest question. But it still bothers me a bit because it's something I would never ask until the conversation had progressed a lot further. I'm perfectly fine telling people, it's just something I was taught not to ask. Are these people ghouls? Should I be less forthcoming?
