I suppose I’m a left-of-center liberal who flirts w/ anarchism & libertarianism. Thr’s a lot of alt, electronic, exp’tal, & “world” music I like. I’m working on fan-fix-tion for The Handmaid’s Tale and Star Trek.

  • It is now 17:55 UTC (1:55 PM EDT), Friday, 21 June 2024—apparently over 15 hours after I posted the above reply.

    I’ve done a quick check on WP on porn and NSFW, and of those who’ve complained if they are mods of this community or admins, and satisfied that they aren’t, have decided to revert all that I’ve posted as NSFW to remove the NSFW tags.

    If a mod, admin, and/or someone with a decent argument for wants it to have a NSFW tag, I’ll probably put it back.

    Thank you.












  • wp:Human rights in the Maldives

    The constitution declares Islam as the state religion of the Maldives and states that all Maldivian nationals are required to be Sunni Muslims.[13] It is illegal in the country to proselytize any religion other than Islam, and advocate for secularism or the separation of church and state. Apostasy and atheism are also outlawed and those who identify as or accused of being apostates or atheists are punishable by death by Maldivian law (though unenforced) and are often subject to vigilante violence or attacks with little or no consequences for perpetrators by the authorities.

    Defamation and Speech “contrary to the tenets of Islam” is illegal.

    As the state partially practices Sharia law in some matters, homosexuality is illegal. The punishment for men is nine months to one year imprisonment, or 10 to 30 lashes. The punishment for women is nine months to one year of house arrest.[3]
