WHAT DO ALL OF THESE BOOKS HAVE IN COMMON?

ANSWER UNDER THE CUT

All of them have been banned, or access to them has been restricted, in a prison in America within the last ten years.

In many states, prisons have broad and vague guidelines for book restrictions -- N.J. Admin. Code § 10A:18-4.9 grants prisons the right to ban a book if it "Lacks, as a whole, serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value". In Arizona, "inmates are not permitted to send, receive, or present... Publications that depict nudity," and explicitly states that classical art is not an exception (DO 914: 8.2.1 and 8.2.1.1).

I volunteer at a nonprofit that sends free books to prisoners. From personal experience, I know there are sweeping book restrictions such as "no dictionaries," "no coloring books," or "no manga". While these books are not always strictly banned, inmates are frequently underpaid, or forced to labor without pay. That means many inmates cannot afford to purchase books, and rely on nonprofits for access.

Book bans in public libraries and schools are unconscionable, but they are usually not effective at restricting access. A high school student can usually still see an image of Michelangelo's David even if they cannot learn about it in class. In prison, a book ban on nudity can permanently prevent inmates from accessing great works of art, the shared heritage of humankind.

DONATE TO THE INSIDE BOOKS PROGRAM IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. THEY SEND FREE BOOKS TO PEOPLE IN PRISONS.

I felt well enough today to make some alien-related tattoos ☺️

They are Early Access because I haven't been able to make much for my subscribers regarding this month's theme due to my illness. They will become available to the public on July 7, 2024 🥰

SIMS 4 - ALIENS - CROP CIRCLE UPPER BACK TATTOOS AM/AF - BASE GAME

Even though these tattoos are base game compatible, they can still be used on other occult sims.

These are crop circles from around the globe.

"What are crop circles?

Crop circles are large-scale patterns made by flattening crops such as wheat, barley or canola. Crop circle artists still use boards of wood to stomp out patterns, as a National Geographic documentary filmed in 2004 illustrated. The artists hide their tracks in existing tractor-tire ruts, making it seem as if the design dropped out of the sky.

Crop circles can be simple circles or more complex patterns. Southern England remains a hotspot for crop circle artists, with masterpieces incorporating triangles, spinner shapes and crescents. They've also popped up elsewhere around the world, with one article in the Illinois newspaper Courier & Press calling them a "plague" in the state in the 1990s. ("We think it's probably just kids," Rock Island County Sheriff Tod VanWolvelaere told the paper decades later.)

Sometimes, "crop circles" appear for apparently natural reasons. The crop circles that Chorley and Bower took their inspiration from were found in Australia in 1966, though they weren't actually crops; they were patches of flattened, floating reeds in a lagoon in far north Queensland. The farmer who found them claimed to have seen a flying saucer whizzing away, but locals said such circles were common during the wet season. According to the Cairns Post, the most likely explanations were downdrafts of wind or small vortices known as willy-willies (similar to dust devils).

Published: May 14, 2023

The Justice Department last month filed a lawsuit against Tennessee, challenging a state law that prohibits the provision of “gender-affirming medical care” to minors. Such “care” includes not only off-label hormonal treatments but “gender-reassignment surgery” that alters a patient’s body to make it more like that of the opposite sex. Some blue states, meanwhile, are changing laws to ensure children can be subjected to such treatments without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

The effects of such treatment are permanent, and the campaign to make it available to minors stands in startling contrast to the national consensus about another set of state laws. Those statutes protect children from expressing their identity by receiving a procedure that one federal circuit court held to be a “purely expressive activity fully protected by the First Amendment.” I refer to tattoos, which are far less invasive, less dangerous and less permanent than treatments that supposedly change a child’s sex.

Many red states, blue states and the District of Columbia have absolute bans on permanent tattoos for children. Some blue states’ laws are among the most stringent. In California and Washington, it’s a crime to tattoo any minor under 18. Likewise in Oregon, and a Portland municipal ordinance sets the limit at 21. It’s 16 in Florida and Kentucky and 14 in Idaho. In Illinois, not only are children under 18 prohibited from getting a tattoo, it’s illegal for tattoo parlors to allow them onto the premises unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

States that don’t impose outright bans still have strict parental notification and consent laws. If a child in Michigan wants to get a tattoo reflecting his most deeply held passion—even if his teachers, doctors and other experts support his wish and testify that his views are bona fide and permanent—the tattooist still would risk 93 days in jail and a $2,500 fine if he didn’t secure written parental consent, in person. Florida (for children 14 to 16), Arkansas, Louisiana, Idaho (under 14), Michigan, Nevada, Ohio and Arizona (under 18), among other states, all have similarly strict in-person parental consent laws. All states at minimum require parental notification and written consent.

The penalties for violations can be serious. In Arizona, tattooing a minor without parental consent is a felony. In Louisiana, the tattooist would face a mandatory jail term of 30 days to a year, as well as a mandatory fine. Even in states where the offense is a misdemeanor, it’s often a Class A misdemeanor, the most serious level, with a possible penalty of up to one year in prison. That’s true in Kansas, Illinois and Tennessee and Virginia.

The complete lack of controversy regarding protecting children from permanent tattoos extends beyond the states to groups most vocally concerned for the well-being of children. The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychiatric Association, and American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry all have spoken out against state laws to restrict access to “gender-affirming medical care” for children, including both hormones and surgery. None of those organizations have said a word against the states’ restrictions of children’s right to express their self-identity in the form of a permanent tattoo.

The nationwide consensus that children should be protected from permanent tattoos even extends to many tattoo artists. Jim Riley of Innervision Tattoo in Nevada (where state law requires in-person parental consent for a minor to get a tattoo) writes on the parlor’s website that he wouldn’t tattoo a minor even with parental consent:

“Of all the people I’ve tattooed in my 20+ year tattoo career, most of the cover up tattoos I have done are on people who got tattooed at a young age. It’s very common to hear the phrase ‘I got this tattoo when I was 15 and now I hate it. Can you cover it up?’ A phrase I’ve never heard anyone say is, ‘I got this tattoo when I was 15 and I love it!’ Let’s face it, when we’re teenagers we don’t have the foresight to know what we will like when we are in our 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and beyond.”

Someone will undoubtedly say something stupid - even with me preemptively pointing it out here - that a tattoo isn't "life saving." Let's put aside the extremely questionable nature of the "affirm or suicide" myth and manipulation.

If a child comes to you and says "I don't feel like me without that tattoo, so if I don't get it, I'll kill myself," would you give them the tattoo, or would you suspect there is something wrong here with their emotional and mental state? Wouldn't that urgency and hyperbolic catastophizing make you stop and wonder what was really going on?

Far from being a justification for unquestioningly affirming their need for a tattoo and giving them what they demand, it's very good reason for stopping and questioning why the choice is between a tattoo and death. And how someone who is ready to kill themselves can have the emotional stability and clarity to make such a permanent, life-altering decision. You can't claim that someone is simultaneously at very real risk of self-destruction and has astute, reliable perceptions of reality.

Now imagine thousands of children saying they want tattoos or they'll kill themselves.

The "life saving" argument doesn't do what you think it does.

why dr. iplier x yancy x host FUCKS HARD so heres a WIP thats been sitting in my drafts unfinished and will never be finished. rip

okay imagine, right? Dr. Iplier and the Host are dancing around each other always on the verge of saying something to one another about their feelings but the Host is excellent at talking about everything except whats important and Dr. Iplier thinks hes good at reading people but he’s not. They’re both kind of shy and they’re both kind of oblivious to the other’s feelings. If whatever Dark and Wilford have going on, wasn’t going on, then Dr. Iplier and Host would be the most interesting thing to occur in the ego meetings. maybe. there’s a lot of chaos there.

anyway they’re dancing around each other and they’re experts at it too. Then Heist drops and they get three new dudes. One is a pirate who’s practically never around because he loves adventure so damn much, the other dude also says he loves adventure so he goes on like weekend trips once a month but he stays in the mansion, and then you have the last guy. Who never leaves the mansion. Hell, does he even go in the backyard? Naturally they think he’s an introvert. Host is maybe hoping he’s got a book buddy who won’t mind a bit of blood; after all this guy showed up in a prison garb with tattoos and bandaids all over. Dr. Iplier really wants to give him a check-up since Captain Magnum’s never around for him to check up on him, and Illinois has submitted to three different check-ups already for each adventure he goes off to, but this prison guy has already figured out the entire layout of the mansion and is quick and quiet as a fish, or eel, or some other creature that can slither away without notice. Hell, he’s an escape artist when he wants to be and he knows every nook and cranny. It’s driving Dr. Iplier up the wall.

He finally gets his hands on the guy by cornering him after an ego meeting, and maybe it was undignified to scramble out of his seat like that the moment Dark lets them go, but the last meeting Yancy disappeared and the meeting before that was the when Yancy was introduced and Dr. Iplier has mistakenly thought that Yancy would show himself to the doctor’s office back then. He knows better now.

“Yancy. If you would come with me please.” His grip is iron around the ex-prisoner’s bicep.

[shadylex]

I was tagged by @fitzonomy, lets party!

1) Are you named after anyone?

No, my parents named all of us to have 'Y' as our last letters in our name and that's about it. I will say that I was the only name in my school for my whole educational life, but the second I get into my current job I meet like 700 of them every month.

2) When was the last time you cried?

Last week? Big emotions need big outlet and big crying made everything feel better.

3) Do you have kids?

Nope, don't plan on it.

4) What sports do you play/have you played?

I've done swimming and diving, got a few medals in diving in high school. I currently do archery though Covid and a recently healed shoulder injury has prevented me getting back out onto the range. I'm also a beast at mini-golf.

5) Do you use sarcasm?

Absolutely. There is a place for everything, but I usually use it in pairing with playing a bit with my fiance.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

I guess just visually, anything aesthetically pleasing. And I try to share it with my customers since they're of a range of ages and anyone likes a decent compliment. A cool tattoo, fun hair colors, nice jewelry or a dress. After that I notice mannerisms and change my behavior to assist them. Like if they're left handed, I change my distribution of stuff so they can grab it with their dominate hand. Trouble picking up flat things off a table? I hold it in the air to grab. Things like that.

7. What’s your eye colour?

Brown to the point of black.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Why not both?

9. Any talents?

I whistle to a degree that impresses anyone I meet. I can mimic bird songs, do almost any cover of a song in whistle format. Do this thing where I whistle and hum at the same time and give it a vibrating tone to it.

10. Where were you born?

Illinois of the US

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, crocheting, picked up embroidery recently, uhhh love cooking. Video gaming, day dreaming about OCs, hiking, uhhhh yeah

12. Do you have any pets?

Tambo and Beverly, my cats! (8 and 2 years old respectively)

13. How tall are you?

5'2"

14. Favourite subject in school?

Art, but I was also a bio student so all of those STEM subjects were in my rotation

15. Dream job?

I don't know. The dream job would actually be a normal office job where I can putter away at the computer doing something important but ultimately simple to do (data input or organization) and have my weekend and holidays off so I can spend it with my friends and family and artistic pursuits. I haven't had a Saturday off in years, and the last office job I had was racist against me SOOOOO

Tagging @honeysider @mjrral @kyanitegemverse @classychassiss @edenaziraphale @crawly or anyone else that wants to do this!

[bee-rosmyth-art]

Would you design a tattoo that you couldn’t physically tattoo? I’m in illinois so I’m not sure if I’d be able to travel to Florida to have you do it. Or do you prefer to only design tattoos that you physically will be inking? Just thought I’d ask out of curiosity :D thank you so much!

I'd be happy to design something for you, I'd probably just price it the same as my normal commissions depending on what it is that you want. If its something I like and you wouldnt mind me tattooing it on someone else I could do it a bit cheaper. Feel free to reach out to me about it!

Btw I think its great to talk to tattoo artists specifically about designing tattoos for you, even if they won't be able to physically tattoo you. There are a lot of things that go into designing a tattoo, more than just creating a nice picture, you have to make sure it works for the medium! A lot of people who are great artists fall short when making tattoo designs because they aren't aware of what will look best when transferring it to skin.

BIOGRAPHY

PAST,

Homelessness tw, teen pregnancy tw adoption mention tw brief death mention

Zelda "Ziggy" Adira Abrams didn’t have a real home until she was 12 years old. Her mother Miriam had her at just 16 years old, and the two lived in and out of homeless shelters, run-down apartments, and friends’ places throughout her childhood. Up until they moved into an actual home, she had never known anything other than moving around, being a nomad, herself, and her young mother.  

Ziggy, named after Zelda Fitzgerald but nicknamed after the infamous David Bowie persona, was resigned to raising herself as well as her mother. She had to grow up and be an adult from a young age, from circling job ads in newspapers and making sure they made it to the shelter on time to get a room, or at least to eat. There was never any real room to be a child.

It was Ziggy and her mother alone for a good while, until when she was five years old. A five-year-old Ziggy had no idea why her mother’s body was changing, she just knew that sometime later they were inside a hospital, there was a baby in her arms,  and then suddenly, there wasn’t.  They walked out of the hospital, just her and her mother, alone again. Ziggy would learn many, many, many years later, that her mother gave her little sister up for adoption.

Ziggy learning to read and loving to read is credited to her mother in many ways, the first being that her mother would take her to the library during the day to keep warm and have something to do, and Ziggy needed an escape from everything. It started with princesses in high towers being rescued by their prince and turned into sometimes cheesy, but often thrilling, romance novels. Ziggy fell in love with love.

When they finally got a real home, it was only because her grandmother passed away, leaving the three-bedroom home to her only daughter, Ziggy, and her mother Miriam moved right in.

It was all rather the same Ziggy needed to raise both herself and her mother, except this time her mother had landed herself a job, a waitress at a diner at night. During the day, Ziggy would go to school, and a night her mother would head off to work, leaving the young girl alone to her own devices.

But ultimately, Miriam Abrams wasn’t the mother a young girl needed. She didn’t get the puberty talk, she wasn’t taught how to do her hair or makeup, these were all things she had to pick up from magazines. She learned to cook enough to feed herself, but she was barely allotted a childhood, having to be the adult her mother wasn’t. No pretty dresses or elaborate bat mitzvahs paid for by her mother's boyfriend could make up for it.

Ziggy left the first moment she could. With a high school diploma, 1,000$ to her name, and a bus ticket, she was off to California, as far away from her mother as she could possibly get.

Ziggy slept on couches again and worked odd jobs until she found something more permanent as a waitress,  paying 30 dollars a night to sleep in a bedroom that had a curfew of 10:00 pm. She didn’t go to college. She had no direction whatsoever. She just wanted to experience life.

So experience she did, she lived in California, Seattle, and New York, and finally, she landed herself in Colorado, just her, her beat-up little jeep wrangler, her books, and a few garbage bags filled with clothes.

PRESENT

That was five years ago now, and Ziggy has been the happiest, and the most stable she's ever been. She's got a dream job as a barista at the Green Thumb, reading, and writing romance novels in her free time. It's her dream to be published, to walk into a library and see her name amongst her favorites, but for now, just writing them is enough. She lives in Artist's Alley Apartments in RINo and has an orange Maine Coon cat named Papaya. She still has no idea what she's doing, but she's happy and having fun trying to figure it out. She sends her mother money once a month.

[starliiqhts]

Ⅰ

birth name: jesse wade livingston birth date: october 26, 1978  current age: 46 zodiac sign: scorpio sun, virgo moon, aries rising (x) alignment: chaotic neutral  gender: male place of birth: chicago, illinois  ethnicity: english, polish, german, irish education: he graduated from wheeling high school in 1996. occupation: professional wrestler, tattoo artist, tattoo shop owner

Ⅱ

positive traits: outspoken, genuine, witty, protective  negative traits: confrontational, prideful, unapologetic  biggest fears: abandonment, betrayal  what’s more important- sex or intimacy: intimacy thoughts on true love: he was never a romantic until he met his wife, and now, he’s thinking that his original stance was correct.  ever been in love: yes leader or follower: leader. his refusal to follow others’ rules has gotten him in trouble, but he is headstrong in his own beliefs.  dealing with stress looks like: he’s not proud of it, but he can be an asshole when he’s stressed. he can be snippy with people, and it’s best to just avoid him when he’s stressed. he’s gotten better at becoming a calmer person in his older age though.  morning person or night owl: morning person. well - neither, really. he likes to sleep early and wake late, but he feels better about himself when he gets up early and is productive. he also kind of has to be now, he’s a dog father, and also a busy guy on top of that.  spontaneous or always needing a plan: even when he was younger, he liked having a plan. long term and short term, he liked having things to work towards. 

Ⅲ

eye color: hazel hair color: brown height: 6’1 weight: 218 tattoos: he’s lost count of how many tattoos he has, his body is covered in them. he has a variety of different ones with different meanings - some special ones, like his ‘straight edge’ piece on his stomach, the ones dedicated to his loved ones like his sister. he also has sillier ones, like the pepsi logo, just because he likes it.  piercings: ears, lip, tongue, nipples - though he hasn’t worn piercings anywhere other than his ears in quite a few years now. 

Ⅳ

sexual orientation: straight  relationship status: single past relationships: he dated around a bit when he was in his twenties, a couple of long term relationships (three years with another wrestler named iris, two with another named cammy), but it was in his early thirties that he met the woman who would become his first wife - janie. technically they had met before, they’d worked together for a couple years, but they didn’t get close for a little while. they began dating in 2010, and a few months after their third anniversary, they officially tied the knot. when the beginning of the end snuck up on him, he wasn’t prepared for it. he truly didn’t see it coming. discovering her infidelity had shocked him because nothing had seemed off, she seemed so in love still, and he knew he was. they separated legally, but before divorcing, decided to try to work on things one last time. but jesse just couldn’t get past it. they’ve been divorced since 2022, but unfortunately, a relationship like that isn’t easy to move on from. they still see each other every so often, still reach out, still call in late nights. he can’t see himself ever getting back with her, he can’t get past the betrayal of her affair, but getting over her completely has been hard. he’s tried and failed to see other people, but it’s never worked. he’s not ready.  thoughts on marriage + kids: he’s been married before, and doesn’t know if he can see himself doing it again. dating? yes, eventually. but marriage? he doesn’t think so. 

Ⅴ

class status: upper financial status: wealthy home description: spending most of his life on the road, his home base was chicago for the majority of the time. then in 2019, he moved to los angeles with his wife, who had retired from wrestling and was stepping into acting, and he wanted to support her. when the divorce happened, he debated moving back home to chicago, but he’d put roots down in los angeles, and liked it there more than he thought. he moved to a couple new places after the split, but now thinks he’s found a permanent place. he’s been living in the same house since spring of 2024, a three bedroom house in a suburban area. it's just enough space for him and his dog - a living room, kitchen, dining area. he has his bedroom, and a guest room, and two bathrooms. he also has a pool, and the garage has been turned into a home gym. family life: he was born to margie and tyler livingston. tyler is now 72, margie is 70. tyler was unemployed for most of jesse’s young life, making money by dealing, and margie was the same on/off, and also worked a number of different jobs - waiting tables, bartending, etc. jesse’s not sure what either of them are doing now. the couple met as teenagers, living in the same neighborhood, and eventually started hooking up. they didn’t get married until after they had their first child, tommy, who is two years older than jesse. after jesse, they had four more children - kenzie (two years younger), harry (six years younger), vanessa (eight years younger), and mikey (eleven years younger). growing up, due to tommy’s immaturity, jesse felt like the oldest sibling. more than that, he often felt like the parent. his mom tried, but was dealing with her own addictions, and his dad was just unbearable. he used to get physical with all the kids, but none more than jesse, who liked to talk back the most. when he finally left the family, when jesse was sixteen, it was a blessing in disguise. hell, not even in disguise. jesse saw no downside to it. he was relieved. he’s had his issues with his family in their adult lives, but when they were young, all he wanted to do was take care of his siblings. tommy was the first one he fell out with. tommy had always gotten into trouble, but when he got arrested for stealing from their wrestling school at the age of 20, that was it for jesse. he stuck around for his younger siblings the longest he could, but now, he’s only on speaking terms with harry and vanessa. growing up, he was closest to kenzie, so cutting those ties hurt, but she’d fallen into her addiction and begun stealing from him, and he’d done all he could to help and she kept rejecting it. mikey didn’t develop an addiction like their parents, but he went down an alt right pipeline that got a bit too much for jesse and even the rest of the family. while vanessa unfortunately also developed that genetic trait that led her to addiction, she got sober, and jesse was happy to help her through it. she’s been clean for years and, along with harry, is one of his best friends. he hasn’t spoken to his mom since he was in his 20s, his dad since he left even though he has popped up a few times again since, and those weren’t easy choices, but he stands by them. pets: he has one dog, a rescue named tally that he adopted in 2015. he treats tally as his own child and even travels with him. 

Ⅵ

diet: he eats clean and semi-strict, but he doesn’t stress himself about it. he focuses on eating high protein, only having fast food a couple times a month, low carb but not no carbs. he loves food and refuses to torture himself by not eating the things he likes. it’s about moderation, and he balances it out with being active. drinking + drug habits: he is straight edge, proudly. after seeing so many people around him hurt themselves and others due to substance abuse and addiction, he knew from a young age he never wanted to touch the stuff. admittedly, he was more judgemental when he was younger, looking down on people who didn’t abstain, but once he was in his mid twenties, he had gotten off his high horse about it. religion: he is an atheist. health and disorders: other than the injuries he’s gotten over the years that have mostly healed, he’s got a clean bill of health.
