“Nestled in the bush with landscaped grounds, this tiny house on wheels looks perfectly at home amongst the beautiful native trees. Although the house was originally designed for just the couple, with a baby on the way they have modified the home to make it perfectly suited for family life and have even managed to include a wonderful tiny nursery.

“Jackie Hill Perry has a book called “Gay Girl, Good God” where she tells people how she went from being a lesbian to a Christian in a straight marriage. This is a book constantly recommended by ‘Girl Defined” and as you can imagine it is extremely flawed and damaging. Homosexuality Condoned by the Bible?

01) Invisible Children
“At a time when millions around the world are celebrating historic advances in “global connectivity,” entire populations in hidden corners of our world are being left behind — and the consequences are dire.
Tens of thousands of families living in severely isolated places like central Africa face the daily threat of violence from rebel groups, wildlife poachers, and other criminal trafficking networks. Without basic protection and communications systems, these communities are disconnected from each other and the outside world. When faced with deadly violence and exploitation, they have no way to warn each other; no way to call for help. Cut off from the systems of power that decide what our world hears and how we decide what matters, the injustices that they face — and their ideas for how to end them — are too easily ignored.
And the violence continues.”

01) For the love of technology! Sex robots and virtual reality
“Sex as we know it is about to change.
We are already living through a new sexual revolution, thanks to technologies that have transformed the way we relate to each other in our intimate relationships. But we believe that a second wave of sexual technologies is now starting to appear, and that these are transforming how some people view their very sexual identity.
People we refer to as “digisexuals” are turning to advanced technologies, such as robots, virtual reality (VR) environments and feedback devices known as teledildonics, to take the place of human partners.”

01) Sexual Harassment in the Field of Sexuality Research
02) PDF Download
“Our field has a problem with sexual harassment, and we need to talk about it. Though sexual harassment is currently at the forefront of discussions taking place within major social movements, professional societies, and disciplines (see, for example, Clancy, Nelson, Rutherford, & Hinde, 2014; Dzau & Johnson, 2018; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018), the discipline of sexuality research has—to this point—been largely absent from these discussions. There are some exceptions, however, with a few sexuality researchers in sociology, psychology, and gender studies among those who have faced or made public accusations or formal reports alleging sexual misconduct or harassment (e.g., Flaherty, 2018; Grollman, 2018; Mondon, 2018). With this Guest Editorial, we aim to begin that discussion, articulating that #TimesUp too in sexuality research, and present a collective united front against sexual harassment in our field and workplaces.
Our goal in this Guest Editorial is to articulate: (1) the scope of the problem of sexual harassment within our fields, especially sexuality research, including its consequences; (2) the gendered basis of sexual harassment; (3) the exacerbation of these experiences for people of color and those in lower positions of power, including students and/or other minoritized social locations; and (4) suggestions toward stopping sexual harassment within sexuality professions, including sexuality research. While sexual harassment can occur between professionals and their clients, patients, and research participants, we will focus here on sexual harassment within research, academic, and professional spaces. In doing so, we draw on our own experiences and those of colleagues who have shared their experiences with us as well (either anonymized/grouped or with their permission). As we all live and (mostly) work in North America, we note the cultural limitations of our perspectives.”

“A new centre which offers support and life skills to sex offenders who have been released from prison has opened in Nottingham. The Corbett Centre for Prisoner Reintegration, which launched today, Monday, will help around 100 former prisoners and is described as the first of its kind in the UK. Its aim is to reduce reoffending rates by helping ex-inmates reintegrate into society. But the move has been criticised by victims of sexual abuse, with one calling it ‘a slap in the face’ when many survivors are struggling to access support services. The project – at an unidentified city centre location – is being run by the Safer Living Foundation (SLF), a charity formed by HMP Whatton and the School of Social Sciences at Nottingham Trent University which offers support to people with sexual convictions. Professor Belinda Winder, head of NTU’s Sexual Offences, Crime and Misconduct Research Unit, and co-founder of SLF, said: “I can’t emphasise enough how much we empathise with people who have suffered sexual abuse. But that’s why we’re doing this; to reduce reoffending. “This important initiative will support our existing research to understand and prevent sexual abuse. It will also go a step further in encouraging us to apply our findings so that we can have a real impact on improving the safety of the public and preventing sexual crime.” A prime example of fear and ignorance in action. The sex abuse survivors should be rejoicing over this, as it is a move which unquestionably caters to them…and presumably their desire, that whatever happened to themselves doesn’t happen to someone else… …And yet…no. …Is there anything short of lining up the accused and condemned, in a human sacrifice [aka slaughter] ceremony, that will satiate their lust for cruelty and revenge? Let’s get real!… …These types of programs exist, not for the extreme cases [who will likely remain in prison], but for the individuals where there is strong expectation they can be manipulated, and kept under the government’s thumb. These types of cases are well known, to have extremely low recidivism rates. Putting them in a profession and stable lifestyle, is the best chance at keeping them crime free. Forcing them out of the social survival structure, typically has the opposite effect. The day is coming…and more rapidly, as they invent new reasons to label someone a “sex offender”, put them on a list, threaten, abuse and ostracize them…when this is all going to come to a head… There is already a sizable army of human beings, on these lists…held under this abusive oppression…many of whom are still physically capable…some [children, teens and young adults] of whom have their most capable years in front of them…And many have been very unjustly treated… …What happens, when this army organizes and starts defending itself? |

01) North – Nostalgia Critic
“A movie so bad and full of horrible stereotypes that Siskel and Ebert said what about it? Tune in to see the Nostalgia Critic review North, and find out the answer!
Originally aired on 6/3/2009.”
“North” is a weird movie…
…Over all…I dislike the movie…
…But, I loved Elijah Wood…And the scene with the “loosen his pants”, as he lays on his back…
…That is just priceless!…even if it does feel like mocking torment towards BoyLovers…
The billboard sign is also quite the unique moment, in movie history.
