- This post has been heavily shared and endorsed by many online sex-positive, progressive sex-ed, and pro-porn people: definitely read it. Brilliant: “Sure, we may play with, embody and embrace hyper-femininity, but we are no less ‘authentic’, or political, or real, because our lip gloss is hot pink instead of ‘nude’. We don’t need to ‘tone-it-down’ to be any more queer, radical or ‘real’. Our bodies may look ‘unrealistic’ to you, but the labour of preparing for work gives erotic performers a sentient, working knowledge of gender performativity.”

- At post time, about 13 percent (776 of 6,151) of the comments on the ICANN Application Comments forum are directed at the three proposed gTLDs. ICANN started up the forum in early July and could green light some gTLDs as early as June 2013. Each of the 776 comments over one or more of the three extensions offers blunt criticism. Headlines such as “Porn domain not needed or wanted,” “Please don’t make the world worse” and “No more indecency” are atypical, as are some of the contributors — one repeat poster is Morality in Media President Patrick Trueman. And just today, Saudi Arabia‘s Communications and Information Technology Commission, the country’s communications regulatory czar, has come out against the three gTLD proposals, as well as others, asking for ICANN to refuse the applications.
