This is what I'm going to do next once I get home. I'm on the road with a new MacBook Pro and don't have all of my usual tools with me. I too now suspect that there's something just off about the format of this JPG file even though I've done my best to launder it through iPhoto, etc. on this machine.
One other strange factoid - if I make this the only image in the doc and do NOT include a separate cover page the image is grabbed and used as the cover but doesn't appear in the text body. If I do include a separate cover the image doesn't appear at all.
For what it's worth I sent the complete .odt to Kovid via an official bug report and he was able to successfully process it into an ePub. Very odd - obviously something's different somewhere!!!
I'll report back once I've had a chance to re-work the JPG with PSP ...
Thanks to both of you that responded and to Kovid for checking out the bug!

I am very sad to report that today's strip wasn't pulled from papers given the tragedy of Newtown. Already I have heard from a few readers who were mighty angry, and rightly so, for opening their comics page and seeing it. I create and send in my strips four weeks before they appear in the newspaper, and newspapers generally lay out the comics page part of their paper ahead of time as well. Sometimes editors catch things like this and ask for a replacement strip for their papers from my syndicate. We always give them one. I am sorry that I didn't catch it, that my syndicate didn't catch it, and that the comics editor of your newspaper didn't catch it. The world has changed since I drew this strip and it just isn't funny anymore.
18 thoughts on "An Apology For Today's Strip"
Funny strip!
I appreciate your apology, and hope people aren't too harsh on you for things outside your control. It's Christmas; let's all be a little more forgiving!
I was very taken aback when I saw today's strip, but thank you for your explination and apology.
As if you could have known. If I imagine before last friday, I can laugh at the strip. You have explained how the process works, you couldn't have known. I would not have made the connection to be honest. Peace out sister!
I didn't see an offensive strip, and I appreciate both your humor and your sensitivity. Keep up the good work! This world would be much poorer without your gifts.
That strip is still hilarious and totally hits the spot which in my view is the ridiculousness of Xmas (which I don't celebrate, by the way — woke up one morning 30+ years ago and thought: "hey, this stuff just doesn't make any sense at all").
You see, "the world" hasn't changed, just the outlook in some quarters in the USA, only a small albeit important part of the world, and that change will only be temporary judging by past response to similar events.
In my part of the world, life goes on. The corporations invade, exploit the land and its people to the max, then leave like a mob of seagulls, making maximum noise, covering everything with shit, and providing no lasting benefit. (Actually, I like seagulls, but hey, there's a need to paint a verbal picture here so I have to exploit their lifestyle!)
I love your work and check it every day here in Rabaul on the tropical island of East New Britain. A journalist for decades., I don't follow the news anymore so I didn't know (until i searched for it) that there had been a child massacre IN the USA rather than one somewhere else committed BY the USA (probably with the help or at least the support of my country of birth, Australia).
Hilary, keep producing your wonderful cartoons. And by the way, the "Rhymes with Orange" title is so very, very apt given your sense of humor and much superior to the title that was already taken! 🙂
Try also looking at http://pngtimetraveller.blogspot.com/2011/10/return-to-karai-komana_31.html
I actually got an Internet connection via wireless there and was able to check your cartoon for the day! Also xkcd, of course.
All the very best
Your fans know who you are and what you stand for.
I wasn't offended at all (although the pun was a bit of a groaner). It wasn't about gun violence or mental health issues, but anthropomorphic trees. There are far worse depictions of violence in the media every day (like, say, "Jack Reacher"–opening today).
Any of your readers should realize that your strips are done at least a few days in advance – if they don't, and they are that clueless. it's their problem. Unfortunately, there are far too many clueless, ignorant, stupid people out there – and at least some of them vote. It pains me that education has taken such a hit and there are people who still believe that the world is 4000 or so years old and flat. Happy Holidays – thanks for all the laughs you've brought me!
You don't owe anyone an apology. Humor, in order to be funny, has to shave pretty close to the truth. You have a wonderful sense of humor and I hope you don't censor yourself because of the crazies in this world.
I wish your post could have been printed in newspapers, even if later than the strip. It's a lot to ask to have the comics reviewed in light of current news–this would have to happen every day.
Thank you so much for your (may I say slightly skewed) take on our world–it brightens my day.
No apologies needed Hilary! Your humour is always spot on (for the topic you are spearing) and maybe we need to be more understanding of the realities of the comic/newspaper publishing environment. It was certainly a tragic affair, but we can predict the future!
^not^ predict…
The connection between todays comic and the shootings never occurred to me until I read your note. All I thought was that it was very "dog". No apologies necessary.
This strip is about a very particular baby, who is said to have been born more than 2000 years ago. I get it that people are horribly upset about what happened in Connecticut, but I don't think this strip is inappropriate.
I didn't get the connection between Newton and your comic strip. What struck me the most was the the mixture of logic and point of view. It is amazing how foolish some of the things we do appear when viewed from a different perspective.
Don't feel bad, Hilary. It is not inappropriate. I felt in funny enough to send to my son in Greece.
One person's opinion: I *never* thought of any connection between the comic and the news, and even after reading some of the negative comments (after seeing your apology) I think people are seeing a parallel only as an optical illusion of the mind.
OTOH I have long wondered why people celebrate the birth of their savior by killing a tree. (I'm not big on cut flowers, either – Here, sweetheart, I killed these pretty things for you!) Decorate, yes; cut down and bring inside, no, even if they're not fruit trees (Deuteronomy 20:19).
Seriously, I can't make the connection without standing on my head. Thanks for the humor. It is greatly appreciated.

Congress is fast approaching the expiration of the current Doc-Fix legislation. The disbanding of the Supercommittee means that Congress has until the end of December to pass a new Doc-Fix act. Without a new Doc-Fix, physicians are forced to take a payment cut of 27.4% for services rendered to Medicare patients. How much Medicare should pay physicians is determined by the Sustainable Growth Rate Formula, or SGR. Enacted by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the SGR takes into account estimated percentage change in fees for physicians' services, percentage change in the average number of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries, 10-year average annual percentage change in real GDP per capita and any estimated changes due to new laws and regulations.
The problem with the formula is that it always ends up predicting that Medicare will cost less than it actually does, and Congress has to make adjustments annually to avoid payment cuts to Medicare providers. Sure, Congress may find the money, but it leaves the American people wondering when Washington will learn from its mistakes and start focusing on the root of the problem. Balancing the SGR formula is a 300 billion dollar distraction at a time when the people are looking for long-term decisions. Congress needs united dedication to permanently fixing the SGR and ensuring the protection of both our seniors' healthcare and the physicians who provide medical treatment for them.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1664 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba falls in earnings
MANITOBA dropped another rung on the average weekly earnings ladder in November, new Statistics Canada figures show.
The agency said Wednesday earnings in Manitoba rose by only 0.4 per cent from October to November, compared to a one per cent gain in Quebec. That enabled Quebec to leap-frog past Manitoba into sixth place on the provincial earnings ladder, at $841.85 per week versus $839.45 for Manitoba.
Alberta continues to have the highest average weekly earnings at $1,085.89. The national average for November was $910.77.
Canada's November earnings were up 0.5 per cent from October and 3.2 per cent from a year earlier. Manitoba's year-over-year increase was 3.4 per cent.
Statistics Canada also released the non-farm payroll employment figures for November. They showed a meagre 0.1 per cent increase from October to November in the number of payroll employees in Manitoba -- 576,500 versus 576,100. The year-over-year gain was 1.8 per cent.
Nationally, payroll employment was unchanged from October to November, at 15.3 million, and up 1.5 per cent from a year earlier, the agency said.
Non-farm payroll employees are people who work for someone, as opposed to being self employed.
Spending down here
MANITOBA households spent less on goods and services in 2011 than most of their provincial counterparts, according to new Statistics Canada figures.
The agency said Wednesday households here spent an average of $49,975 during the year. That was a 2.2 per cent increase from 2010's average of $48,909.
The only provinces where household spending was lower in 2011 were Prince Edward Island ($45,190), New Brunswick ($47,960) and Quebec (49,239). Households in Alberta had the highest average spending, at $64,453.
Shelter accounted for the greatest share of the spending in Manitoba, at 25.3 per cent, the agency said. That was followed by transportation (22.1 per cent), food (14.5 per cent) and clothing and accessories (6.2 per cent).
Nationally, Canadian households spent an average of $55,151 on goods and services in 2011, up 2.7 per cent from 2010, Statistics Canada said.
Couples with children reported average spending of $75,543 on goods and services, while single seniors reported $26,047 in household spending.
For 500, it's Time to go
NEW YORK -- Time Inc., the magazine unit of Time Warner Inc., says it is cutting six per cent of its global staff of 8,000, or about 500 people.
The cuts began Wednesday and will affect domestic and international workers.
In a memo to staff, Time CEO Laura Lang said the company must become leaner, more nimble, and operate on multiple platforms. She said operating more efficiently will create room for critical investments and new initiatives. The unit publishes magazines such as Fortune, InStyle, People, Real Simple, Sports Illustrated and Time.
According to a survey by FactSet, analysts expect Time Inc.'s magazines to post 2012 revenue of $3.5 billion when the company releases financial results next week.
Less debate: Alta. group
EDMONTON -- A business organization says too much debate is making it difficult to develop Canada's economy.
The Alberta Enterprise Group says there is too much talk about why proposed pipelines, power lines, mines and hydroelectric projects should not be built.
The group's president, Tim Shipton, says the focus should instead be on why such projects should go ahead.
He says the country is being paralyzed by special interests and complacency and it is time for Canadians to deal with what he calls -- quote -- "internal blockades."

Sara Jay is, in my opinion, one of the stars of porn who gets paid to do what she would do naturally. I love how she punishes black cock, and asks for more. I never tire of watching her get her just due(s). When i save up enough money, i won't mind getting my little dick a turn with her.

Whenever people tell me I have a great job because "you get paid for watching movies," I always correct them — I don't get paid for watching anything; I get paid for writing about it afterwards.
Now, wanna talk about great jobs, you're talkin' David Sedaris. Here's a guy who turns his daily life into a career. He writes pieces for erudite magazines like the New Yorker, anthologizes them, then gets paid for standing in front of 2,000 adoring fans reading them aloud. Sometimes he doesn't even have to publish them: At last night's appearance at the Winspear as part of the DMA's Arts & Letters Live series, Sedaris spent 20 minutes reading from his diary. Now that's a plum job.
Of course, it helps that Sedaris' diary entries are more cogent, funny and insightful than most anything else you'd read in edited periodicals. His style is starchy and prim, but his subject matter rangy — he can recount shopping in an antique store with the same high-mindedness of portraying a Santaland elf at Macy's. Yes, the reading part is easy; it's the genius it took to get there that's hard to come by.

Barnet will return to League Two action tomorrow looking to extend their unbeaten run away from home to four matches.
The Bees have claimed seven points from their last three games on the road despite facing three sides in the top six.
Edgar Davids' men weren't in action last weekend due to their match at home to Fleetwood Town being postponed but the Brewers did play and suffered a 1-0 loss against Northampton.
New signing Harry Crawford is likely to be included in the Bees squad for the game and Andy Iro should return alongside David Stephens in defence despite being stretchered off against Rotherham.
Ishmail Kamara and Collins John are expected to remain absent while Steve Kabba continues his long-term recovery from a knee injury.
Jon Nurse will also be unavailable as he serves the final game of his three-match suspension.
The last time to two sides met the Bees, thanks to a Ricky Holmes hat-trick, completed a 3-2 win over the Brewers at Underhill.
Barnet's last trip to the Pirelli Stadium was a memorable one for Bees fans.
It was the final game of last season and Barnet knew a victory meant they would remain in League Two.
Mark Byrne had put the Bees ahead but Jacques Maghoma soon levelled the contest.
Crucially, Calvin Zola smashed a penalty well over the crossbar in the opening period and a Mark Hughes half volley in the second half secured victory and survival.

I have never had any trouble with mine at my courthouse or at the airport. However, I did a "bling bing-bing" at the bigger courthouse in the next county. No questions were asked there either, though I caught signals being flashed between the officers manning the equipment.
I think most systems show them a magnetic picture. I do one thing most guys do not do often though. The last, meaning top, item I place in the pocket-trash bowl is a spare ring sealed in a sterilization pouch that is clearly labeled "Spare Ring." Now I have enough metal BTB that all I am doing is carrying spare parts just in case i lose a segment or ball, and letting them know what those circles down there are. Besides, I'm sure there are some guys new to the screening job who would like to see a PA. Be nice and show it to them! Those stories you hear of removal being required are from the early days before the screeners got very well trained in their jobs.

" Address: 33 Canmore Street / Dunfermline / KY12 7NX "
Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice which retells the biblical story of Joseph via the medium of song and dance. I saw Joseph in May 2010 at the Alhambra theatre in Dunfermline and the show will appear at various UK venues. To be honest I had no idea what the show was about before I went along having received a pair of tickets for my birthday so I will give a brief plot synopsis for those who do not know the story.
Joseph is one of Jacob's 12 sons and being the youngest he is the favourite and is presented with a special coat of many colours by his old dad. The brothers are not too happy that Joseph is the favourite and plot to get rid of him and sell him as a slave to passing Egyptians telling their broken hearted father that he was killed by a wild animal with the blood stained coat being the proof of his demise. Joseph had always had prophetic dreams and a talent for interpreting the dreams of others which is eventually noticed by the pharaoh. Will this talent lead to Joseph reaching the greatness that his father had always believed was his destiny or will he die a slave?
To be honest now that I know what the plot is about it seems like a highly improbable story and one that would not work well as a musical. The whole show is sung, there is no spoken dialogue or straight acting at all. It's got to be said that the show is a bit tongue in cheek with some deliberately dodgy props such as a camel with rolling eyes and blow up sheep. There are many styles of music and song employed throughout the show ranging from a song called "One More Angel In Heaven" sung in the style of a barn dance, The "Benjamin Calypso" where the actors come out decked up as if they were in the Caribbean and Elvis even makes an appearance. Of course the most famous song is "Any Dream Will Do" made famous by Jason Donovan which is a rather bland and inoffensive pop ditty with the "Joseph Megamix" at the end sounding like it should be played at a rave.
The part of Joseph is currently played by Craig Chalmers and the ads for the show proudly proclaim that he was in the BBC TV show "Any Dream Will Do " which was a talent show for choosing the actor to play the part, what it did not tell you was that Chalmers never won but actually came fifth! Having said that he played the part really well, he had a slightly shaky start when he came out but as the show progressed he bounded around the stage singing at the top of his lungs and dancing around with gusto and I especially liked his performance of some of the more emotional songs with his smooth voice particularly suited to the slower melodies. I have only two quibbles about him, the first is that he has the worst haircut I have ever seen and the second was that when he was bouncing around in a loincloth that for some reason he reminded me of Rocky from the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Joseph is supported by a large cast of actors, a mention must go to Rachael Louise Miller who sings the narration perfectly. It is unusual for a musical to be so male dominated but this one centres round the twelve brothers and Jacob, each brother played his role with gusto. The women when they did appear were also brilliant. There was a chorus of insufferably cute kids which for the touring production had been plucked from the local private primary school choir and I suppose they sang well enough but I really don't think having a bunch of precocious little brats on stage really added much to the production and oddly for kids from an Edinburgh school they sung in a Cockney accent some of the time!
I had problems I keeping up with the story and action as there was so much going on at certain times that it was a real assault on the senses. The Alhambra stage is meant to be one of the largest stages in Scotland and it only just contained the army of actors and the chorus so I imagine this show would be best seen in one of the huge London theatres. The stage was so busy with movement at times that it became just too much and I found some of the scenes where there was a solo performance were much better.
Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a huge production full of life and song and although I enjoyed the performance it would certainly not rate as the best musical I have ever seen. It does have good acting and a couple of catchy songs but to be honest some of the songs are very easily forgettable. It is an odd mish mash of styles and sounds and to be honest I can't understand why it is such a huge hit.

About MeI was born on November 13, 1984, in Santa Monica,
California, but I grew up in La Crescenta, California. There
werenât many Hispanic tattooed role models while
I was growing up, but I didnât let that stop me
from achieving my goals. Im especially interested in
fashion, modern day sleek look and anything extreme.
Luckily, My mom encouraged those interests. That encouragement
drove me to excel. I graduated from high school at 17!
I earned awards amateur print model competitions and
studied science of welding at Glendale College. Soon after,
got into modeling due to overwhelming great offers and the fun I have on sets is amazing, i look forward to doing more rugged and other variety of shoots to show my other sides than just the ordinary punk kid look. No obstacle is too great for me to overcome!

Pakistan: Universal Children's Day— A Campaign Is Launched
November 21, 2012
A Statement from Society for the Protection of the Rights of Child (SPARC) forwarded by the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)
Pakistan: Universal Children's Day— A Campaign Is Launched For The Ratification Of Optional Protocol To The Un Convention On Child Rights
The Society for the Protection of the Rights of Child (SPARC), on the occasion of Universal Children's Day, urges for the "Implementation of UNCRC and ratification of Optional protocol on involvement of children in armed conflict." The SPARK has also started a campaign of activities for the implementation of optional protocol along with other civil society organizations, Child Rights Clubs, and Child Rights Movement in Sindh province.
The Optional Protocol to the UN CRC was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly resolution in 2000 and entered into force in 2002. Currently 150 countries have ratified the said Optional Protocol. The need for this Optional Protocol was felt and discussed as article 38 of the UN CRC was not consistent with the protection of children as it mentioned the age of 15 years old not to take part in direct hostilities and not to recruit under 15 years old into armed forces. It has stressed that in the light of definition of a child and in the best interest of the child, that no child under the age of 18 should be allowed to be involved in hostilities, either directly or indirectly and that no child under the age of 18 should be recruited in to armed forces was the conclusion of participants on consultation on implementation UN CRC and optional protocols.
Once states sign or ratify international
conventions state parties are bound to make their domestic
laws in conformity with international obligations.
Furthermore, states are accountable for respecting,
protecting and fulfilling those rights even those rights are
violated by Non-State Actors.
National and international advocacy can play important role in pressuring countries to implement to become governments to become part of international system while Pakistan wants to become member of Human Rights Council then ratified all core conventions but when it comes to implementation governments are only making pledges and conferences.
Civil society has played its role in monitoring and disseminating information regarding UN CRC. State that ratifies the Optional Protocol must raises "in years" the minimum age of voluntary recruitment, set at 15 in the convention. Also State must take all feasible measures to prevent recruitment and use in hostilities of children under 18 by the armed groups. The State will take legal measures to prohibit and criminalize such practices. After taking all such measures if any person who may have been recovered or released from any such group State will be responsible for taking serious measures to provide assistance, if required, for the physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration of such persons.
This was the case, as what we have seen in the past when young boys were recovered from militants camps where they were to be trained as suicide bombers. Every child has the right to protection from all forms of abuse and exploitation. The rehabilitation and reintegration of children used as child soldiers is also the right of such children. Pakistan however, has failed to protect the rights of these children and despite the fact that it has signed the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict way back in October 2001 it has failed to ratify it yet. Regrettably, Pakistan, despite being among the first 20 countries to sign and ratify the UN CRC has failed to ratify the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict (ratified by 150 countries).
In case where Pakistan ratify the Optional Protocol on Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, Pakistan will have to submit an initial report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child within two years detailing the steps which Pakistan has taken to ensure that no child under the age of 18 will be involved directly in any kind of hostilities. The age of voluntary recruitment must be raised from 15 years to 18 years and there should be no under 18 compulsory recruitment in to its armed forces.
UN General Assembly has adopted a new Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) establishing a complaints procedure for violations of children's rights. The new treaty will enable children, or their representatives, claiming that their rights have been violated to bring a complaint to an international committee of children's rights experts if they have not been able to get remedies for these violations in their countries.

The Malem Bed Side alarm has two accessory ports - one for a remote sound unit and one for a vibrating device. You can place this remote sound unit up to 50 feet away and be alerted at the same time the bed-side alarm sounds.
It is important that parents hear the alarm initially to insure their child's correct response. A baby monitor could be used for this purpose as well.

|"Here may lie the most important effect of mass communication, its ability to mentally order and organize our world for us. In short, the mass media may not be successful in telling us what to think, but they are stunningly successful in telling us what to think about."
—Shaw & McCombs, 1977
According to the agenda-setting theory, propounded by Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw in the 1970s, mass media set the agenda for public opinion by highlighting certain issues. Studying the way political campaigns were covered in the media, Shaw and McCombs found the main effect of news media to be agenda-setting, telling people not what to think, but what to think about. Agenda setting is usually referred to as a function of mass media and not a theory (McCombs & Shaw, 1972).
The theory explains the correspondence between the rate at which media cover a story and the extent that people think that this story is important. This correspondence has repeateadly been shown to occur.
Agenda-setting is believed to occur because the press must be selective in reporting the news. News outlets act as gatekeepers of information and make choices about what to report and what not. What the public know and care at any given time is mostly a product of media-gatekeeping.
The agenda-setting function is a 3 part-process:
- Media Agenda - issues discussed in the media
- Public Agenda - issues discussed and personally relevant to the public
- Policy Agenda - issues that policy makers consider important
One of the debates between researchers is the questions of causality: does the media agenda cause the public agenda, or vice-versa? Iyengar and Kinder established causality with an experimental study where they identified that priming, vividness of presentation and position were all determinants of the importance given to a news story. However, the question of whether there is an influence of the public agenda on the media agenda is open to question.
History Edit
The basic ideas of the theory can be traced back to the work of Walter Lippmann, a prominent American journalist. Lippmann (1922) proposed that people did not respond directly to events in the real world but lived in a pseudo-environment composed of "the pictures in our heads". The media would play an important part in the furnishing of these pictures and shaping of the pseudo-environment. The basic premise of the theory in its modern form, however, was first formulated by Bernard Cohen (1963): "[The press] may not be successful much of the time in telling its readers what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about" (p.13).
Important Concepts Edit
- Gatekeeping -- Control over the selection of content exercised by media
- Priming -- in agenda-setting, the idea that media draw attention to some aspects of political life at the expense of others (Baran & Davis, 2000).
- Framing -- Presenting content in a way as to guide its interpretation along certain forced lines

January 23rd, 2009
Dr Petra
This coming Monday the UK's law will change so anyone in possession of what's called 'extreme pornography' will be breaking the law.
This is a situation that's caused a lot of anxiety among the BDSM community. People are worried they may be prosecuted for making, distributing or owning materials that may be judged 'extreme'.
The campaign group Backlash have put together a number of very useful resources on their site that:
Explain and critique the forthcoming legal change
Outline some of the unintended consequences of the extreme pornography law
How you can remove any potentially illegal materials before the ban comes in
and what to do if you are arrested for possessing, creating or distributing extreme materials. I'd recommend reading through their whole site as it gives a very clear outline of the current legal situation and problems with it.
On Sunday 25 the Consenting Adult Action Network are going to demonstrate in parliament square in protest of the legal change and what they see as an infringement on the civil rights of those into BDSM and kink.
The issue of civil liberties and personal turn-ons is only one aspect of this story. Sadly it's become an area where it's become very difficult to raise a critical voice. Supporters of the extreme porn bill react with hostility if you raise reasonable questions about the process behind the legal changes. Their reaction assumes if you're asking questions you're condoning rape, child abuse and the exploitation of animals or dead bodies.
Those who indulge in such activities or record images of them undoubtedly deserve the strongest prosecution our laws allow. But the law as it stands does not tolerate rape, child abuse, necrophila and zoophilia. Which is why so many have questioned the need for additional rulings in these areas.
My concern, shared with other academics, educators, sex workers, activists and healthcare practitioners is the law has been altered based on rhetoric and opinion, rather than evidence.
The evidence base on the effects of pornography is not particularly clear, given that many studies are limited by small samples; riddled with experimenter expectancy effects and demand characteristics; poorly designed and poorly reported lab-based research that often features male undergraduates who're not representative of the wider population.
Research is further hampered by failing to clearly declare what is used in such research as 'pornography', how materials were selected for study, and how outcomes can be considered transparent if there is a conflict of interest over who funds the research or the personal views of those conducting any studies (which frequently remain undeclared). Other studies that take a more qualitative approach are equally problematic as participants are often selected (or volunteer) because they've a particularly forceful pro or anti pornography perspective to share.
It's not to say all porn research is bad, but because the majority of studies are so flawed it's very difficult to draw any clear conclusions from them – particularly around direct causal links between images and actions. Unfortunately this confusion leads to both pro and anti pornography groups cherry-picking particular studies to suit their respective agendas.
Erotica, pornography, whatever you want to call it, it undoubtedly has an impact on us as individuals and at a societal level. It may serve to turn us on, to inform our sex lives, to make us anxious, or to mislead us completely about sexual behaviour. It can be used secretively, or shared. It may bring joy and fun to a relationship, or anxiety, jealousy and mistrust. It can make people feel great about themselves or completely insecure about their bodies. Some may use it to exploit, others to empower.
Sadly the changes to our extreme porn law have taken none of these factors into account. There's been an assumption that extreme pornography exists and is easy to define and identify. All involved in using, creating and distributing it are constructed abusers, and if people consume it they are liable to commit heinous sex crimes.
This overlooks the fact that many people who commit the most shocking violent sex crimes don't have access to pornography (or certainly to 'extreme pornography'). For example, if you look at levels of sexual violence against women and children in the developing world/global south you'll find high levels of extreme sexual violence and rape carried out against women and children. Abusers may have little or no access to the media, yet still carry out shocking crimes.
The argument that extreme porn causes extreme sexual violence simplifies the relationship people have with porn and avoids the more complicated question that most people who look at porn do not commit violent sex crimes, and those who commit sex crimes most often do not seem to enjoy violent/extreme pornography.
Focusing on the extreme also means we avoid some of the very real problems porn gives us that probably have a greater impact on our lives and risks to our health and wellbeing. It ignores how it misleads people about how their bodies work, or what a partner might want. It neglects how sex can be reduced to performance and positions in an increasingly reductive format. It implies that 'great sex' must now include several positions, some oral, anal and if you're lucky some girl-on-girl action. It suggests you're a prude if you don't want this.
It allows us to conveniently ignore most people consume higher levels of sexual material through the mainstream media that we don't deem extreme but still give very clear messages of what sex should be like – where lads should push to get as much hedonistic sex as they can and girls should learn the perfect sex technique to keep him happy.
The whole time our gaze is misdirected towards the perils of 'extreme' imagery we're missing the lower grade sexism, pressure on men to perform, and women to service that permeates so much of mainstream culture. Perhaps our question should be less about how we deal with the extreme kinds of porn, and more about the impact of everyday sexualised culture that we have to operate in. And rather than wheeling on legal changes why don't we look at providing better sex education to give people the critical ability to question whoever is telling them something about sex – whether it's in porn, a mainstream lad's mag or women's glossy, from a drug company, or sex toy store.
The difficulty with this area is that there have been a number of horrific and high profile cases where women have been horribly abused and murdered at the hands of men who have reportedly consumed extremely violent pornography. Faced with such tragedy it is logical that people would want to take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Unfortunately this change in the law is unlikely to do that. It may surprise you to know there was a government consultation where people like myself pointed out the scientific evidence in this area, the flaws within said evidence, conclusions one could draw and where there were particular areas needing attention (some of which I've outlined above). Did the government pay any attention to this? No, they did not.
As an academic who has researched pornography (and the way pornography is researched) over more years than I care to remember I find it shocking that this information can be overlooked for political gain. While many will now be concerned over their civil liberties I'm just left with the feeling this is another sad day for science.Tweet

you gotta roll with it
I'l let you into a secret about the car below; it most definitely wasn't that shape. I started off at the front of the car, which was going okay. Not great but okay. Then I realised that there was absolutely no bloody way I was going to fit the whole thing onto the page. It was, after all, a big long Zodiac! So, I had a decision to make and, yes, I did. I squashed the whole thing into the space I had. Ah well, as long as we keep it to ourselves nobody else ever needs to know.
Throughout this drawing I was thinking of my friend France Belleville and her 'ladies'.

SWEETS and cakes will no longer be handed out to celebrate the birthdays of pupils at a Bacup School.
The decision by the parent and teachers association at Britannia Community Primary School comes after a parents panel decided sweet treats would not be distributed anymore.
A spokeswoman for Lancashire County Council said schools telling parents not to send children into school with sweets and cakes to distribute is common. She said: "Children were becoming upset when their parents didn't give them cakes for the other children, so the parents proposed stopping it altogether.
"Many schools are trying to promote healthy eating as well."

It's simple, and free.
In 1939, employed men as a group were likely to make less than $1,000 a year and the employed wives of such men likely to earn as little as $200, "but their economic contribution often provided something as basic as a roof over their head or enough food for their children to eat" (Gluck, 1987, p. 8). But as Gluck explains, despite the raw economic necessities for women in traditional roles to work outside the home, "82 percent of the population felt that wives should not work if their husbands had jobs. Furthermore, a majority believed that laws should be passed to prohibit wives from working." The conflict between culture and need, then, prevailed up to the time of the war, and can be seen as an important aspect of the economic system:
The fact that so many married women, even in the poorest segment of the population, did not work is a measure of the limited availability of jobs, the heavy burden carried by women in the home, and the resistance by both men and women to changing definitions of women's proper role in society. Women, above all, were supposed to be wives and mothers--even though marriage and birthrates were plummeting in response to the economic hardships of the depression (Gluck, 1987, p. 8).
The war simplified the issues surrounding the shoulds and oughts of social role-playing vis-a-vis economic necessity, although in the process it complicated so many other aspects of society that such issues were to arise in the postwar culture as well. In this connection, descriptions of women who participated in the social changes that were implicit in the economic changes that occurred as a result of the war are quite revealing:
There was one good thing that came out of it [the war]. I had friends whose mothers went to work in factories. For the first time in their lives, they worked outside the home. They realized that they were capable of doing something more than cook a meal. I remember going to Sunday dinner...

For those of you who don't know, I have two-year-old twins running around the house these days. They are adorable and tons of fun, but they are totally cramping my holiday decorating style! Last year I didn't bother putting up a full-sized tree. It just didn't seem to be worth child-proofing when I could put up a mini-tree instead and keep everything out of reach.
This year, I decided to put up a full-size tree, but with serious limitations on the decorations. Even with the "shatterproof" bulbs, I just don't think having a bunch of ornaments for the kiddos to pull off the tree seems like a good idea. I opted instead for burlap and silk flowers – if the twins pull apart these ornaments, no harm done!
I ran over to JoAnn Fabrics on Black Friday and spent less than $30 on some supplies. You heard that right. I spent less than $30 decorating my tree this year. Holler!
I bought:
- 7 yards of burlap (with a 50%-off coupon). You could probably get away with 5 yards. I had quite a bit left over for future projects.
- 7 bunches of white flowers – 75%-off special.
- 5 bunches of decorative acorn sprigs – 75%-off special.
- White ribbon – you could use twine or any old ribbon you have lying around.
Other supplies:
- A large piece of cardboard
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Polyfill stuffing or crumpled paper
- … oh, yeah, and a tree. Mine is a 7.5-foot pre-lit one.
I started with my "$3 tree skirt."
Step One: Measure the diameter of your tree base. The base for my 7.5-foot-tall tree was 22-inches. Add two inches.
Step Two: Cut a circle of cardboard the diameter (plus 2-inches) of your tree base. My circle was 24-inches in diameter.
Step Three: Center the cardboard circle under the tree base.
Step Four: Cut a large square of burlap with a length of 2 times the diameter of your cardboard circle plus 8-inches. Mine was 56-inches (24 plus 24 plus 8). Mine also wasn't a perfect square, since the width of the bolt the burlap came on was a little less than 56-inches. It still worked out fine.
Step Five: Center your burlap square under the tree stand and cardboard circle.
Step Six: Add polyfill stuffing or crumpled paper around the tree stand.
Step Seven: Gather the corners of the burlap and tie a ribbon around the base of the tree.
Boom! There's your $3 tree skirt solution!
Next up: Burlap Garland
Step Eight: Cut 6-inch strips of burlap. Follow this picture tutorial for cutting burlap without losing your mind:
Step Nine: Wrap your tree with burlap garland.
Step Ten: Gather your flowers and pine cone sprigs. Cut apart the bunches.
Step Eleven: Make bunches with three flowers and two acorn sprigs. Tie together with a ribbon or piece of twine.
Step Twelve: Set your flower bunches in your tree. No need to fasten them in – they will just sit in-between the branches.
There you go! That's my toddler-friendly, under $30, Christmas tree decorating solution.
