#FOR THE CHILDREN

[original-rick-james]

One state down, ...

The Bible got banned.

"I thank the Utah Legislature and Utah Parents United for making this bad faith process so much easier and way more efficient," the parent said in the complaint. "Now we can all ban books and you don’t even need to read them or be accurate about it. Heck, you don’t even need to see the book!"

An eight-page typed list of examples of objectionable material from the Bible, quoting the exact scriptures, was included in the complaint.

"Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide," the parent wrote. "You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition."

It's believed only seven or eight libraries in the district's elementary and junior high schools even had the Bible on their shelves and the book is not part of any school curriculum[.]

Want to ban books? Fuck around and find out.

Just realized I don't think I ever posted the illustrations for this story here!

Here are the illustrations for chapter 1!

Oklahoma state senator Tom Woods, "We don't want that filth in our state."

Nex Benedict was killed by classmates and none of the people in charge of "protecting the children" cares. I guess only certain children count. Not ALL children.

Nex Benedict doesn't get to grow up because of people like Tom Woods.

Senator Tom Woods

2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Rm. 529.2

Oklahoma City, OK 73105

(405) 521-5576

Senator Tom Woods grew up in Westville, Oklahoma, and was elected to the Oklahoma Senate in 2022. He proudly represents the citizens of Senate District 4, which includes Adair County and parts of Delaware, Sequoyah and Cherokee Counties.

Woods was raised on a dairy farm and graduated from Westville Public Schools. His grandparents are both retired educators, and his father worked in a factory while his mother stayed at home to work on the farm and raise his six brothers and sisters.

Tom’s family taught him the value of hard work from a very young age as he was given his first dairy cow at the age of 12, in exchange for milking cows on his parent’s dairy. He remained dedicated to his business and had 30 dairy cows by the time he was 18.

He now operates a feed store, trucking company, and a commercial cow/calf operation with 200 cows.  Through hard work and commitment, Woods believes we must build up future generations to be active contributors and producers in society, not just consumers.

"Moon, let me GO-!"

"Sun, if you don't calm down, you're just gonna straight right stab them, which would kill them immediately and you wouldn't be able to enjoy their suffering" "I don't care, I rather see them dead already" - This made more sense in my mind, but this is how it turned out. I don't know how Moon would try to calm Sun if he loosed it so- And I decided to give Sun inner teeth even though he doesn't have them, I thought it would make it look a little bit more spooky SK!AU by - @ayyy-imma-ninja

The fact that Sun has issues controlling his anger regarding Rulebreakers caught my attention, so here's a little drawing about it

I’m just saying, if Jamie didn’t want to wear a shirt maybe he shouldn’t both lean back and look away while eating hot soup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I spilled so much ink on the first page. I can just barely make out the words. It's fine, I know what to do. It's okay. Those were just reminders and I can still somewhat read it if I squint my eyes hard enough. I need to feed The Child, I can hear it crying again. Why does it cry so much? Okay wait I just finished feeding it and now it's back to sleeping. I managed to avoid The Daughter from following me into this spare room. Dinnertime is coming soon. I will need to feed the Daughter and The Eldest Son before they get too hungry for the night, then get them their meds.

I wish children didn’t die.

I wish they would be temporarily elevated

to the skies until the war ends.

Then they would return home safe,

and when their parents would ask them:

Where were you? They would say:

We were playing in the clouds.

You know, I don't spend all my time being angry at white men. Sometimes I feel quite protective about them. Sometimes I worry that impressionable young men will watch Ted Lasso and think that it's OK for women to stalk them into their bathroom and yell at them while they are urinating and pass judgement on their odour, or that its OK for your bosses to do unnegotiated CBT to you in front of an audience that has not signed any consent waivers (that's cock ball torture, not cognitive behaviour therapy though even the latter requires a license)...

And I know it can be confusing because the people doing these actions are rich and good looking and white and not clearly marked by the narrative as violating boundaries by being brown.

But remember, kids - it's all sexual harassment, and it's all unacceptable in the workplace, and even if you laughed, you weren't asking for it.
