A hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) ain’t that much in 1 million dollar (1,000,000) empire.

It’s just uncalled for.

The clip was actually posted to reddit, it was her saying something about how children touch themselves and they don't need to be shamed for it. Basically they're saying it's a groomer / pedophile thing, very popular accusation right now

Sorry for being unclear. Libs of tik tok is a single person, it's a right-wing twitter account. this article sums up the situation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/19/libs-of-tiktok-right-wing-media/

That's not what I wanted to hear :( what could Sexy Sex ed possible even do or say to attract that kinda ire?? Like of all the things any of the hosts could've been attacked by libs for they went for Tanya's sex Ed work?? Fuck off lol Hoping she's doing okay, and hopefully someday she'll feel comfortable enough to come back on the show. I love all the hosts, but Tanya's energy will certainly be missed.

She and Sexy Sex Ed were targets of harrassment/death threats recently. I hate speaking for anyone but I am guessing that's why she hasn't been online lately. Fuck libs of tiktok and their ilk regardless

I just got back on the Patreon feed, and I'm sure this question has been asked, but is Tanya still part of the show?

Michael

Listen, I’ve been here with y’all through a lot, but the Neutral Milk Hotel hate might be a bridge too far, fellas.

can we get some tabs on “new materialisms”! some of them are pretty interesting

The Giver has almost the exact same plot as Ayn Rand’s Anthem. The Giver is a lot better in contrast, IMO.

Re: juggling and magic. The idea of ‘effortless concentration’ is one point of connection there. From a good book, but not *the* good book: “Concentration without effort — that is to say where there is nothing to suppress and where contemplation becomes as natural as breathing and the beating of the heart —is the state of consciousness (i.e. thought, imagination, feeling and will) of perfect calm, accompanied by the complete relaxation of the nerves and the muscles of the body. It is the profound silence of desires, of preoccupations, of the imagination, of the memory and of discursive thought.”

Lord of the Flies is WAY WAY WAY better than The Giver.

I was listening to this episode while working so I guess I zoned out on the part about BETH ANN McLaughlin and assumed the whole thing was about Sarah McLaughlin. Glad I looked that one up before I started spreading things that weren’t true haha

The “catfish” term was coined by the husband of the original “catfish” in the movie Neve made — which spawned the TV show. He described how catfish were placed in tanks of cod when they shipped from overseas. The catfish scare the cod and keep the cod from lazily floating in their tanks (which ruins the meat of the fish)

I stumbled upon the little key of solomon during a tab deep dive too a few years ago. To my astonishment it was available for consultation at my local library in france. Could not borrow it and had to go in a special room to read it. The processes are so convoluted that you could just blame anything if it didn't work. My favorite requirement was a fishnet made by a bunch of virgins. If you completed the invocation and it didn't work, you knew who to blame x)
