"… on average, when Craigslist’s opened erotic services in a city, the female homicide rate went down 17 percent.
17 percent. That’s not the homicide rate for female sex workers. That’s the homicide rate for all women."

"Another study found when Rhode Island accidentally decriminalised indoor prostitution from 2003–2009, they found a 31% decline in reported rapes and a similar decline in gonorrhea cases."

what if...

- those of us who know things about shit, hung out with whomever for a year or two, and did constructive (repeat: constructive) critiques and sharing

- basically, all the things that universities do, but without the university and all that comes with it

- people could even get a printed diploma at the end. "congratulations."

- tuition costs: 0

If composers were developers:

"We're building a means to allow everybody to write symphonies! No more years of university or private study, no more complicated software that never quite works. The power is in your hands! :D"

Non-composers:

"Great! Where do I sign up to get started?"

Composers:

*Hands them a music notation book*

*Points to piano*

Non-composers:

"..."

@forteller "Social DRM" is kind of brilliant 💯

@shoutcacophony I might shoulda CWed in the initial post. 🤔

Anyway, yeah. The thing that's grossest about it is how passive it is. You can franchise a self-storage place and do basically nothing and just skim that profit off of the high housing costs of your city. And if, like here, you build it in a place where land values are mid-high and only getting higher, when you're done in a decade, the demo is cheap and you make a killing on the land sale.

I'm #actuallyautistic and I've been #mute for months.

Forcing everyone around me to learn sign is not working as a solution, and forcing myself to speak is an extremely difficult task.

Several weeks ago I managed to say, "Hi." to a person very close to me, and that in if itself was incredibly strenuous. At this point I WANT to talk, but translating that into the mechanical action just doesn't happen with out expending so much mental energy that I'm wrecked for hours or days afterward.

#Advice is welcome.

Pra essa #ff eu vou sugerir outras instâncias de falantes de português que eu sei que existem (e seus admins) :)

Provavelmente outras existem, então se eu esquecer alguma por favor me corrijam!

Please add descriptions to your images.

There are visually impaired users floating about the federverse and they deserve descriptions.

A simple description of "airplane" or "cute Kitty" is sufficient. You can do more if you like, but at least add a succinct, basic description if possible.
