Rest in Peace to the great Drew Struzan, a man whose work sparked the imaginations of a whole generation of movie nerds. The master is gone.

I had the privilege of visiting him in his studio once and getting to talk shop. Here’s his words on one of his masterpieces:

evil witch pulled me aside on my way to the costco and told me "check this shit out gay boy" before hitting a vape and blowing the smoke directly into my eyes and the last thing I saw was her on her broom cackling away and nobody else there saw it

Transsexualism is bourgeois, which is why most of the Western girls I know are crowdfunding their healthcare costs to get it overseas

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

"transness is a bourgeois western decadence" is exactly the line used outside the West to deny *very local* trans people's right to exist, and it's kinda insane to see Western trans ppl say "yeah that's right"

this is one reason why they're so obsessed with verification and why as creators we cannot cannot do it

it's not being done in good faith, it's just another tool to pinpoint who exactly is involved in the adult industry so they can be surgically removed from the economy

who even needs to ban porn

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work.

Rest in peace 🖤

the lineage of women who have done this for me is basically all i think about, and i hope the ones in my personal life can tell

The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.com · 1d

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

Time to bring back what *should* have been a banger, but I guess it's too sophisticated for the Bluesky hogs.

A picture of Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a Cardassian with a knowing smirk. The photo has been repeated four times, each tinted a different color: green, blue, red, and gray. Along the bottom of each picture is the title of John Le Carre's famous novel and movie: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

On this day 7 years ago, it was announced that Jack was joining Fighting EX Layer as a playable character for the game. Jack's reveal trailer can be watched below.
