Into the glitter bath.

This new paper in the peer-reviewed journal Feral Feminisms presents “femmegimp strategies for navigating and negotiating cultures of undesirability through the creation of queercrip p*rn and collective care.”

One such strategy is via “glitter bath,” which is where a femmegimp takes a bath infused with glitter in order to “bathe in femmegimp excess.” Creating p*rn from the glitter bath helps achieve “queercrip flourishing.”

The author discusses the “transformative pleasure in reveling in the excesses of femmegimp joy.”

Of course, the author also took pictures of her reveling in “glittery femmegimp joy,” which the totally serious peer-reviewed journal published (and which I have blurred).

Caught on video: Former NYC Covid Czar Held Secret Drug-Fueled Sex Parties During Global Pandemic

Dr. Jay Varma, Former Senior Advisor for Public Health, NYC Mayor’s Office:

“I had to be kind of sneaky about it…I was running the entire Covid response for the city…we rented a hotel…we all took like, you know, molly[E*stasy/MDMA] … 8 to 10 of us were in a room…like just being naked with friends…”

“We went to some like, underground dance party… underneath a bank on Wall Street… We were all rolling…”

“This was not Covid-friendly.”

“I did all this deviant, sexual stuff while I was you know, like on TV and stuff…”

“The only way I could do this job for the city was if I had some way to blow off steam every now and then.”

The Part I Like Best

About harm reduction sites is how they coax drug users off the street and into gas chambers.

Representatives with the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS unveiled Vancouver’s first indoor safe inhalation site in the Downtown Eastside on Wednesday.

Dr. Julio Montaner, the Centre’s director and physician-in-chief, and Dr. Kate Salters, a senior researcher with the Centre, gave a tour of the soon-to-open rooms at the Hope to Health Research and Innovation Centre.

“We needed to do something more directly focused on the needs of this patient population if we’re going to get ahold of the [drug toxicity] epidemic,” Montaner said.

It looks like I picked a good week to start sniffing glue.

Today, From The Chinese-Controlled Region Of Ottawa

CBC;

The Chinese government tried to influence Chinese Canadian voters in the last election but its actions didn’t violate elections law, the office charged with policing Canada’s elections has concluded.

In a report dated Aug. 19 and made public Tuesday by the inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian politics, investigators for the Commissioner of Canada Elections concluded that the Chinese government tried to get Chinese Canadian voters to vote against the Conservative Party (CPC) and then-Conservative MP Kenny Chiu in the 2021 election.

Developing: Car With Explosives Found Near Trump Rally

Update: Police deny explosives report

Well, given he’s a threat to democracy…

Police reportedly found ‘explosives’ in car near former President Donald Trump’s rally site on Long Island ahead of his speech Wednesday evening.

If it is confirmed, it would be the latest shocking security breach and comes just three days after a would-be assassin was arrested after stalking the former president with a rifle as he golfed at his Palm Beach golf club.

Sources in the Nassau County Police Department allegedly told journalist James Lalino that the rally site ‘perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed.’

In addition, during the K9 sweep they apparently ‘found an explosive device in one of the vehicles.’

The sources allegedly said the driver ended up running into the woods.

As it says, developing. Other reports say it’s a rumour.

There Goes The Narrative

FCPP;

In Positive Stories of Indian Residential Schools Must Also be Heard, Rubenstein and McCrae critically examine the current portrayal of the residential school system, which is often overwhelmingly negative. The authors argue that this narrative fails to acknowledge the positive experiences of many former students and the genuine intentions of those who worked within the system. While not dismissing the testimonies of abuse, the report emphasizes that these accounts do not represent the full spectrum of experiences at the schools.

Don’t F*ck With Florida



“It’s not in the best interest of our state or our nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation. … The public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination [attempt] came to be.”

By-Election Watch: LaSalle-Émard-Verdun (bumped for extra ridicule)

Bumped for results.

Cosmin DzsurdzsaThings are so bad for the Liberals in Montreal that their LaSalle—Émard—Verdun byelection candidate Laura Palestini just ran away from her own election night watch party with only 5% of the polls reported.

At 1:08 Eastern, the Block and Liberals are in a dead tie at 6,715 votes apiece. LOL

Part of me wants to see the Liberals lose the seat, the other part wants Trudeau to feel empowered and hang on to the leadership for the ultimate shitkicking.

Final results, a win by the Bloc. Let the games begin.

******************************

With the Bloc polling ahead, just how desperate are Liberals to keep the seat once held by Paul Martin?

Desperately desperate.
