screenshot of a tumblr post by user genderkoolaid that reads "in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even if it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way."

An Explanation of the Miller Test for Obscenity The Miller test is the national standard for determining whether material is legally "obscene" in the United States. The test is named after the 1973 case during which it was developed, Miller v. California. Prior to the Miller case, obscenity standards were vaguer and more inconsistent. The Miller test is also known as the "three-prong obscenity test" because the test has three criteria: 1. Does the work, as judged by "the average person, applying contemporary community standards," taken as a whole, appeal to the prurient (inappropriately sexual) interest? 2. Does the work depict or describe, in an explicit, "patently offensive way," sexual conduct or excretory functions as defined by state laws? 3. Does the work, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value? A work is deemed obscene under this test only if it meets all three criteria. In general, the first two criteria are intended to reflect community standards while the final one considers the perspective of a reasonable person in the country as a whole. A work may be considered obscene in one community and acceptable in another, but, if it has merit outside of the chiectionable content it will not be illegal under the Miller test.

Excerpt follows: "Similar to the above, highborn women routinely learn to play musical instruments and sing, but there are certain instruments and forms of song that are considered “too seductive,” and thus also only the provenance of sex work. Sex workers who learn these instruments and forms of singing are colloquially referred to as types of birds. (SEX AND SEX WORK) Sparrows are typically considered low members of society and work in brothels and markets that can be accessed by any member of society as long as they have enough money, though their rates vary considerably on a wide array of factors. They are also often associated with crime, particularly theft, poisonings, and blackmail. Nightingales are akin to courtesans, and like courtesans are usually received as members of higher ranking society, somewhere below highborn nobility and above most tradeborn people. During certain reigns they’ve even been members of the high court. They’re considered glamorous, well-educated, and are very expensive to hire, and only available to highborn or very wealthy tradeborn clients. Starlings are self-made sex workers who imitate the trappings of nightingales, but are widely considered as lacking the same pedigree. The term is used somewhat pejoratively, on the assumption that self-made sex workers who style themselves after nightingales lack the training and talent to perform the same level of musical skills, even if they are very beautiful. Additionally, they make themselves available to all clients, like sparrows, which adds to their déclassé stigma."
The Four Tempers All aspects of this world were created in the image of the four true gods. Thus are we made in their image. In blood, bone, and marrow, as the Four balance the world, so too is the presence of the gods balanced within us as the four Tempers: Blood, Bile, Char, and Silt. When we live in virtue, in the body as well as spirit, our Tempers are kept in balance; and so too do our sins threaten that sacred trust between body and soul, man and the world, humanity and the true gods. Should our Tempers run amok, we risk tearing the veil between our world and the Miasma asunder. Should the veil be torn such that no weaver can put it right again, then woe: for no matter our weeping and rending of mortal flesh, no matter how the gods may pity us, on that fateful day the Shadow and all Nine Pits of Hell shall devour this world whole. – From a novice’s catechism of the Crowned Covenant, copied at Montreval Abbey during the reign of Tristan the Torchbearer.
