Please help spread this plea around, his daughter is in danger
There's so many more fucked up things out there than some art that gives you the icks. For example, child marriage is still legal in way too fucking many places.
In light of the banning of more flavors of smut, I present the glory-hole gambit for our payment-processor overlords.
IT'S HECKIN' BEAVER TIME
saw this image again last night and feel its applicable as hell, it really comes down to unregulated emotional responses of disgust that they've done no work to deconstruct and have been fueled by those around them lol
Frank Zappa the 20th century avant garde guitarist and composer once stood before a congressional commitee as senators labled his music as "Porn Rock". The point being that old senate legislator will label things they dont like as they try to villainize anything bad as "porn"
Even if you don't like porn, you should understand that porn is a form of expression, and that people should have the right to express themselves in all forms.
Honestly the first time I saw the phrase βproblematic height gapβ did something to me. Before that, I stayed pretty quiet about these issues with βproblematicβ porn and antis.
Thatβs when I realized that no porn was safe, and that people have to loudly push back.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
Over half of U.S. states have passed a form of an online age verification law.
These laws pose a unique threat of outing transgender people or blocking them from the internet entirely, especially in places where they are unable to access accurate IDs.
We all deserve anonymity and privacy online.

If you call after hours, you can leave a message and not need to talk to anyone at all. But it will still help!
It's incredibly important to keep calling, emailing, and even sending physical letters. Flood them all with the message that we will not tolerate censorship and surveillance!!
Of all the followers I have out there, if you are doing well financially you need to be donating and gifting money to people in need. If you're doing it already, that's awesome but please see if you can do more. If you're not doing that, you have a moral duty to.
Is the NY Times transphobic?
Short answer: yes!
Long answer: yes and!
Hell fuckin' yeah!!
The email provider Proton Mail shared data that the FBI used to identify Stop Cop City protesters in Atlanta, 404 Media reports:
Yes, but we've also seen a few platforms work to find alternate processors rather than completely cave. Platforms are also not entirely without blame if they instantly cave and don't seek alternatives.
Do focus on the source of the problem, but platforms like SubscribeStar are not without fault.
The world if we taxed billionaires out of existence.
Billionaires have no right to exist. They are parasites on the rest of society.
Again, this is only applicable for those who are doing well financially.

A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes:

i just opened a website and Got This Prompt (needless to say im NOT FUCKING DOING THAT)
just a psa to everyone NEVER paste anything into the run window unless you absolutely fucking know what you're pasting in
you can use win + v (or paste into notepad) to check whatevers been put into your clipboard
Censorship is a continuous erosion that will absolutely fucking steamroll your cute little morality picket and leak right into your every day life.
People don't understand; it's about the rolling crack down on freedoms, not simply the art - look more than 2 ft in front of you PLEASE.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.
