"Unknown" I hope you are still with us. Your third request was to feature Tom Daley, the hero Olympic diver champion. We have previously admired his beauty on the this blog. He is amazing. Our muse, Kevin Conus, sent this pic in the last few days. When I saw it, I knew it was time to try to feature this masculine masterpiece again, at your request.
Here 'tis thanks to Kevin. Occasionally I receive threatening correspondence about content. I respect copyright rules. But they were written in truly ancient times. But is the law. Alas, in this day and age these laws are useless and arcane. I have become wary about showing notable people, celebrities and athletes because of that. And I removed previous photos of were published of celebrities and I have refrained from showing them since. I'll post this and hope they don't shut down this blog because of this photo.
I am an idiot as you all know well. I waste my time continuing this hopeless and worthless endeavor. I do so willingly. There is quite simply no benefit to this blog in any way, except for the few small handful of relationships I enjoy online readers. This blog is about the admiration of male beauty in its natural state. I receive no benefit (no doubt many people are laughing and enjoying this remark). Haters far outweigh fans on the internet. I am more than happy to remove any photo when requested by an owner.
I recently was sanctioned for a very old photo which was removed by Google based upon a violation complaint. This is happening quite a bit these days on facebook. Anyone can accuse based upon many things which have nothing to do with legal ownership. On the internet, one is guilty if accused.
Unknown, I celebrate your observation of male beauty. Enjoy....until we gay bloggers end up in a concentration camp. Am I allowed to say that. Probably a hater will object to that comment and have it removed.
We do not live in a country where Constitutional rights are guaranteed. And even your comrades will surreptitously attack and win.
Enjoy. Until this forum is removed.

Things are devolving in this country, but we still have the right to express our views. Our constitutional rights are being slowly stripped away, with a lot of assistance from the religious right and those who cater to them. All we can do is fight with our words. So, keep up the fight!!!
ReplyDeleteThe idea that our rights are being removed is due to a cognitive bias called "the availability heuristic"; people form opinions based on a few things they've recently read on a blog, Twitter, or Facebook, without any awareness of whether this is a statistically reliable sampling of the data.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, we have too much freedom of expression, leading to the power of the insane right-wing media, which produced Trump.
Pornography is all over the internet, so it's foolish to say that the right to such things is being restricted. We multiple sites dedicated to every sexual taste that I've ever heard of.
What we do have is an environment that grants too much power to corporations, which is the origin of the power of individuals to demand that you take down certain photos. The relevant law is "Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)" and garnered both Democratic & Republic support, signed into law by Clinton.
What we need is more popular support to elevate the rights of people over that of Corporations and there are really only two current political candidates who are willing to do that.
Very boring TT

There is no chance of anyone being placed in a "concentration camp" absent a socialist takeover, because all concentration camps are the work of socialist / totalitarian regimes, whether you're talking about those set up by the Nazional Socialist Party, the Communist Party of the USSR and its satellites, the North Korean Communist Party or (far and away the biggest offender presently in terms of numbers) the Chinese Communist Party. According to China watchers, as many as two million Christians, Uighurs, adherents of Falun Gong, and other critics of the regime are being held in concentration camps -- and it would be over two million except that inmates of these camps have a way of turning up dead, with their organs extracted and sold off to make money for the regime. To my knowledge, no one on the "religious right" (or any other part of the right) has ever suggested that any gay blogger be placed in a concentration camp. The ayatollahs running Iran, in contrast, not only like to put gay men into prison, but actively murder them whenever and wherever they can be found out.
