I just wanna be Kate Hudson again

Katy Lizzy Hud's Son (Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, born Oct. 25, 1984), known professionally as "Katy Perry," is a Hollywood product, an American singer, songwriter, and goofy TV personality.

Known for her influence on pop music and her camp style, she has been dubbed the "Queen of Camp" by Vogue and Rolling Stone.

At age 16, Perry released her unsuccessful gospel album Katy Hudson (2001) under Red Hill Records. After moving to Los Angeles, she signed to Hollywood's Capitol Records and rose to fame with the pop rock album One of the Boys (2008).

Its lesbian bisexual anthem and lead single "I Kissed a Girl" topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Perry's moist, disco-influenced pop record Teenage Dream (2010) became -- ka-ching! -- the only album by a woman to spawn five U.S. number-one singles:

1. "California Gurls"
2. "Teenage Dream"
3. "Firework"
4. "E.T."
5. "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"

Momma, don't preach. I don't need your and Dad's stupid religious beliefs holding me back.

.

It helps having really big boobs, huge like these

Its sugarcoated reissue, subtitled The Complete Confection (2012), produced the U.S. Number 1 single "Part of Me."

The dance-inspired Prism (2013) yielded two U.S. Number 1 singles, "Roar" and "Dark Horse."

Perry's subsequent albums, Witness (2017), Smile (2020), and 143 (2024), were mostly duds and met with varied critical and commercial success.

Now mostly a laughingstock, Perry is still one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 151 million records worldwide. She has seven diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America.

The world's highest-paid female musician in 2015 and 2018, she was named by Billboard one of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century. As proof, her accolades include:

• 20 Guinness World Records,
• 5 Billboard Music Awards,
  5 American Music Awards (including the Special Achievement Award),
• 1 Brit Award,
• 1 Juno Award, and
• 7 MTV Video Music Awards (including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award).

Perry was the first artist to have multiple videos reach one billion views on YouTube.

With an estimated net worth of $360 million, she is among the world's wealthiest musicians.

I told you I literally sold my soul to the Devil.

Outside of music, Perry released an autobiographical documentary titled Katy Perry: Part of Me in 2012, voiced Smurfette in The Smurfs film series (2011–2013), launched her own shoe line Katy Perry Collections in 2017, and flew into space aboard Blue Origin NS-31 in 2025.

She served as a judge on American Idol from the 16th season in 2018 to the 22nd season in 2024. She is an advocate for LGBT rights and women's rights, and she was named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2013.

Her philanthropy and activism focus on children's education and HIV/AIDS awareness. More

Same-sex attraction doomed by Darwin?

They'll eat themselves out of existence

(Better Instincts) Why didn't, couldn't, wouldn't the mechanism behind Charles Darwin's theory of evolution (genetic fitness, natural sexual selection) erase same-sex attraction and consequent homosexual preference and attendant behavior?

As evolution became widely accepted in the 1870s, caricatures of Charlie Darwin with the body of a monkey or ape came to symbolize evolution [14]. This sketch was originally published in the satirical magazine The Hornet. The image, called "A Venerable Orang-outang," is available on University College London Digital Collections (1886).

Anime conveys many implicit messages.

• “Tachinbo” (立ちんぼ) means standing in a public place, such as a street, to look for paid sex customers. Around Ōkubo Park, some young women are reported to stand at night and wait for men to approach them. It is a form of street-based prostitution with contact directly in public instead of through a service. Under the Prostitution Prevention Law, sexual intercourse in exchange for money is illegal in Japan. And openly soliciting customers in public can violate local public nuisance laws... More

Christian gay conversion therapy: the law?

Who gets to define "normal" or "natural"?

"Conversion therapy" is the pseudoscientific practice of attempting to change an individual's sexual orientation, romantic preference, gender identity, or gender expression to align with heteronormative (cisgender) ideals. Conversion therapy is said to be ineffective at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity and may (and frequently does) cause significant long-term psychological harm. The position of evidence-based medicine and clinical guidance is that sexual orientations like homosexuality and bisexuality as well as gender variance (nonbinary, pansexual, transsexual, asexual) are natural and acceptable aspects of human sexuality and gender identity [1, 2, 3].

LYRICS: "Voila"

"Voilà" (English translation) – Barbara Pravi (Genius Lyrics)

Listen to me, me, the half singer

Talk about me, to your loved ones, to your friends

Tell them about this little girl with black eyes and crazy dreams

What I want is to write stories that you will hear about

That's all

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am

Here I am, even if I'm scared as I'm naked, yes

Here I am in the noise and in silence

Look at me, or at least what's left of it

Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I say that another hasn't already said?

I don't have much, but I place here what I do have

Voilà

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am

Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked

That's my face, that's my scream, here

I am, never mind

Western Buddhist nun Bhikkhuni Gotami is wise

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà right here

Me, my dream, my will, how

I'm dying from it, how I'm laughing at it

Here I am in the noise and in silence

Do not leave, I'm begging you to stay for a long time

It might not save me, no

But I don't know how to live without you

Love me how you would love a friend who's leaving forever

I want to be loved, because I don't know myself how to like the shape of me

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am

Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked

Here I am in the noise and in rage, too

Finally, look at me and my eyes and my hands

All I have is here, it's my face, it's my scream

Here I am, here I am, here I am

Voilà, voilà

Voilà, voilà

Without Buddha I Could Not be a Christian

Without Buddha I Could Not be

Paul F. Knitter has 4.5 out of 5 stars after 447 ratings with this book. An honest, unflinching tale of re-finding one's faith, from one of the world's most famous theologians Without Buddha I Could Not Be a Christian narrates how esteemed theologian Paul F. Knitter overcame a crisis of faith by looking to Buddhism for inspiration. From prayer to how Christianity views life after death, Knitter argues that a Buddhist standpoint can encourage a more person-centered conception of Christianity, where individual religious experience comes first and liturgy and tradition second. Moving and revolutionary, this book will inspire Christians everywhere. More

Sex Strike? The 4B Movement

(Inside Edition) What is the 4B movement after Trump failed to lose like polls said he would?

Imported from South Korea, many American women are swearing they'll join the 4B movement in light of Don the John Trump's re-election. What does it mean?

What is the 4B movement?

This rumor originated in South Korea as a radical feminist [and possibly lesbian] statement to abstain from interactions with men due to the country’s Patriarchy (patriarchal society).

• What does couples therapist John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus have to say about the Patriarchy (and Jordan Peterson)?
• What does Dr. Jordan Peterson have to say about women, the left, and the Patriarchy?

Prof. J. Peterson prefers Patriarchy and Trump

Meaning of 4B

Is it "radical" to want rights?

This 4B movement stands for the four “B”s or “Nos” in Korean. They are bisekseu (“no sex with men”); biyeonae (“no dating men”); bihon (“no marrying men”); and bichulsan (“no having children,” especially not male children that fail to serve the Matriarchy).

• So this coincidentally if not ironically will make someone “bi” by promoting lesbianism when abstinence gets boring or difficult, right?
• Ellen DeGeneres moves to England to protest Pres. Trump
• Real reason behind Ellen DeGeneres and wife moved to UK unveiled | Hollywood (Hindustan Times)

Patriarchy must be good and tyrannical, right?

JP: I'm changing the definition of "patriarchy"

Where did this idea come from? It’s actually a pretty old idea for women to abstain from sexual contact with men as a way of whipping them into shape (though then it was done to end a war).

Let men do the breastfeeding

Perhaps one of the oldest examples is Aristophanes’ Ancient Greek comedic-play Lysistrata. Originally performed in 411 BC, it follows a group of Greek women who withhold sex from men to force them to end their Peloponnesian War by leaving them with annoying boners and all that lust-inspiring testosterone and no one but guys around.

How did the movement get started in (Mahayana Buddhist) South Korea?

• What does Dr. Wendy Walsh (psychologist, former love addict, professor, and journalist) have to say about it?

It all kicked off around 2016 with the Escape the Corset movement, a social media-led movement that saw South Korean women discussing the ways in which Korean society’s restrictive female standards contributed to a misogynistic society.

Yes, males have breasts, some lactate (Random Thursday)

The 4B movement gained even more momentum a year later when South Korean women started coming forward about the abuse they’d faced as part of the #MeToo movement. More
