Naked Nun Wrassling
Another auction photo, and isn’t it just beautiful? Bloomsbury calls it “Nude With Nun” but that doesn’t even begin to capture it:

Surveilled And Controlled
Although I use Twitter, a bit, I’m notoriously grouchy and recalcitrant about use of social networks in general. This is part of the reason why:
The business model of social media platforms is surveillance and behavioral control. The internet’s original protocols and architecture made surveillance and behavioral control more difficult. Once capital became the dominant source of financing it directed investment toward centralized platforms, which are better at providing such surveillance and control, the original platforms were starved of financing. The centralized platforms grew and the decentralized platforms submerged beneath the rising tides of the capitalist web.
…
This is not a choice that capitalists made, this is the only way that profit-driven organizations can provide a public good like a communication platform. Capitalist investors must capture profit or lose their capital. If their platforms can not capture profit, they vanish.

How To Blog Anonymously
My advice: Don’t. Or, more precisely, don’t blog anonymously if you absolutely need the anonymity. Because it will fail you eventually, in ways large and small.
On the other hand, preserving as much privacy as possible is often a good idea. And, you know, there are ways to do it.
Remember Belle de Jour? Blogging as a woman and a sex worker at a time when that was all very scandalous in the country that invented and “perfected” the most horrid sorts of tabloid journalism, she got a ton of focused unwelcome press attention. Her anonymity didn’t hold up forever, but she did a lot of things right and she learned a lot from her mistakes. On her current blog, she’s posted a summary of what she knows about it:

Handcuffs And Falling Panties
Remember all the cute pictures illustrating the “her panties fell down” fetish? Allow me to refresh your memories:

Celery Plus Gravity Minus Panties Equals Art
Well, apparently the fetish has even infected that part of the BDSM community that likes to keep women handcuffed in crumbling brick basements:

No Helmet — Or Anything Else
Apparently in Romania, you can ride a motorcycle nude … except you still need a helmet:
A woman riding on the back of a motorbike stark naked was pulled over by police – because she wasn’t wearing her helmet.
…
After pulling the motorbike over in Romania, officers let the modern day Lady Godiva off with just a warning and a ticket for not donning a helmet.
The cheeky rider then hopped back on the bike, nude but for a crash helmet, and sped off – giving fellow motorists plenty of photo opportunities.
One disbelieving witness said: ‘The officer was a traffic cop and the only traffic offence she’d committed was in not wearing a helmet.
‘So he gave her a warning and a ticket and told her and her companion to ride on.’

A Little Grooming Help
They say that we are the sort of monkeys for whom grooming each other is an important social function. And if you’d ever seen the predatory gleam in The Nymph’s eye when she spots a hair on me that strikes her as inappropriate in its placement, length, or coloration, you would believe it! But still, I never realized that women were in the habit of grooming each other quite this personally:

Most Days, Anyway
It is true: “Some of us manage to get through the day without being outsmarted by our genitals.”
Not all of us, and not every day. But, yeah.

Ah, Burlesque!
Conundrum: can we still call them “topless dancers” if they are wearing top hats?
From UseNet. You can find this image all over the web, “claimed” and watermarked in various ways, but it appears in actuality to be 1920s and German.
