I really hope someone starts a counter campaign to fight this regressive puritanical nonsense. There are way way way more people who want to buy and support sex work and sexual materials, or at the very least don’t think it should be banned.
Someone give this brilliant book to the puritanical angry moms who bullied payment processors into all but banning porn games. The reason we even have online payment processors is BECAUSE OF SEX WORK. It was invented to pay for porn!
Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.

“Children's Hospital LA pauses enrollment of hormonal therapy for minors
The hospital will also continue its pause on gender-affirming surgeries on minors as mandates by Trump’s Jan. 28 executive order”
You might want to travel for this one. 🚘
This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility
I bet there are more video game stories with dead wives than with living ones.
Yes, this is about the genocide that has been waged against Palestinians for over seventy years. Glad you are suddenly aware of the existence of other people but the horrific brutality didn’t just start this year and reading a couple of headlines doesn’t begin to explain the complexities at play.
I really wish folks (especially those new to global politics) would take the time to learn about history, global power dynamics, and the ways that we become indoctrinated into accepting the (often oppressive) status quo as truth before they spout off some of the most bonkers and dangerous hot takes.
I’m tired 🤷♀️
Since I get asked a lot, here is a list of some of my favourite fiction genre books. anitasarkeesian.medium.com/my-favourite...
As we bring the process of organizing everything to shut down FemFreq I’m finding piles and piles of game footage we collected for tropes. It feels like a waste for it to just collect dust on a shelf— would this footage be useful for any media makers??
Lol y’all I’m a goof. I forgot that they call donar kebab — just a shame that folks don’t know the whole range of amazing kebab but I retract my frustration I guess.
Oh shit that’s right I guess they do call Donar kebab huh? Well scratch this whole thing. Still. It’s a shame folks don’t know other types. But I retract my frustration.
Both sound like fun 😘
Anyway for the next time y’all are in Cologne Germany/Gamescom go eat at Beirut. That shit is legit authentically good.
But it’s not like they named it some white name, just so confused that they just switched out words 😐
I’ll be at Gamescom for one day. Hmu if you’re around!
Where in Stockholm would one watch the women’s World Cup??
How are people thinking about using all these different platforms (Bluesky, Threads, Twitter) — are you choosing one? Posting the same thing across all of. Posting differently on all of them?
It’s embarrassing that *at this point in history* any new app is built without robust safeguards and moderation built directly into the foundation.
