In which LJ clarifies.

I can't help but as I read this to imagine the group of peopel trying to decide if a particular piece of erotic art has artistic merit rather than just artistic skill.

And a few things come to mind:

1. In such a group siotuation would dissenters ("it does have value!") feel comfotable speaking up?
2. What is the make up of the group, or, more to the point, if the image in question had featured Hermione instead of Harry, would it have survived? This is something I can't shake. We can't know of course, but the double standard exists in the MPAA, why shouldn't it exist here?
3. I've only gotten into fan art recently mainly because I look at a lot of it for snapenews, and I will note that I find it really interesting and beautiful and I like looking at it, although I almost never find it titilating -- including _the_ banned picture of the moment. So yeah, fuck you LJ.

Anyway, back to making breakfast, just wanted to pop in.

well

Patty is all moved in.

She is also on her way to Ohio, and the house feels positively WEIRD without her. But now I have to get changed and head out to Kat's bday. Tomorrow is laundry and dance class, and then more sprucing up the house so that when I'm in SF it will be easier for her to unpack.

I am very pleased.

Although I could have done without her dad seeing my desktop image.
