#pornography — Public Fediverse posts

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

Part of what's absurd about @vagina_museum running afoul of restrictions supposedly dedicated to #pornography is how little #pornographic material uses words like "#Vagina" or especially "#Vulva". Usually we use the word "#Pussy" within the first paragraph.

Obviously, most of this isn't really about #porn, it's about controlling speech, but still, "The #VaginaMuseum" doesn't sound like something anyone would say when marketing porn.

...except me. I would totally write porn about the Vagina Museum.

This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

For some context, let's remember that #Strom #Thurmond so detested Abe Fortas on #SCOTUS, he screened #pornography on the Senate floor (since Fortas voted w/ majority to allow #pornographic films), calling it the #Fortas #Film #Festival. Fortas #resigned the following year, after a personal donor got arrested for stock fraud & #Nixon's AG threatened to #prosecute Fortas' wife for #tax evasion. He later argued cases before the #court! #impeach #clarence #thomas #now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Fortas#Fortas_Film_Festival
