Trans, mother and housespouse, early 40s. If you followed me because of a meme or I had something nice to say about Peter S. Beagle, I apologize with tongue in cheek; you'll find me dubious company.
Mostly here for the musicians, artists and sex workers.

It is not my place
to tell you, my friend,
how to grieve
for our departed friends,
but it falls now to us
to remember them,
and it falls now to us
to remember
that they would want
for us to remember
that this pandemic
is far from over.

This is the post I needed to see to get me to go to bed. I ain't seeing better than this. I did it. I scrolled until I saw the dopamine.
You see, the problem with our politics is we keep electing the wrong kind of predators.

It’s time for Yautja-based leadership.

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I saw a pic of Lum earlier and it brought back memories of when I did 80-column ANSI art on my first PC in the early 90s.

The time and patience I had as a teen! Everything done w/ keyboard, you had to work in 25-line chunks, copy them together, and hope that it looked OK afterwards.

It was hard. 😅

This is what i mean by the post below. People are (JUSTIFIABLY) angry and afraid, and there are bad actors who want to take advantage of that in order to push regressive, reactionary legislation that will only hurt marginalized groups.

be very careful about what you boost.
In the wake of all this Epstein stuff, you need to be extremely dilligent about information and media you share

There are orgs that want to use the energy around all of this to push for censorship/surveillance legislstion as well as promote swerf ideology under the guise of supporting victims

There will be all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork to ensure that the only result of the Epstein files coming out is more restrictions on sex work and more censorship. They can and will use it as an excuse to make sex workers less safe.
#SaveSpeech

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"

they are not your allies.

I‘m actually tearing up here, Rebecca had a profound impact on me, and probably not in the way most would think, I never followed her Videogame career, instead I only knew her through her Sailor Moon x Ranma 1/2 Crossover fic Sailor Ranko.
It was THE thing that first pushed me to be my true self

i don't know how to sound desperate and pathetic enough to get the help i need. i can't afford food, meds, or any other basic need and i don't know what to say to get said help. can you spare even just $5 to help a disabled trans woman stay alive?

This isn't gonna stop at smut, or with Ana.

Do not let these payment processors determine where you can and cannot spend your money. That YOU earned. You are being robbed of choice in place of 'Correct, Appropriate Purchases'. Keep making noise. Keep talking about it or they will take Everything.
And if more journalists + streamers + YouTubers keep ignoring this issue, what they are doing is throwing you — trans, gay, artist, smut customer — to the dogs
A lot of people really aren’t getting it. In less than a year we’ve seen it leap from the *most* objectionable content that I’m not even really comfortable talking about here to far more innocuous stuff, they’re not going to arbitrarily decide to stop here

Rebecca Heineman passed today.

She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments.

But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness.

This is an unimaginable sadness.

Farm workers in King City are harvesting lettuce going as fast as possible so they can finish before the rain begins. A strong rain could physically damage the plants and also increase food safety risks. To harvest rapidly, workers are bending down and barely stand up. #WeFeedYou

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

Donald Trump murdered this woman.

His administration did it in the laziest, most callous, & most remote way possible. I don't care about the technical difference between murder/manslaughter.

This was murder.
I had a friend who lost a large chunk of her teaching income because of DOGE.
She & her husband struggled to pay for rent/food, so they started working gig jobs via phone apps.
When Trump deregulated meatpacking, they both got salmonella & couldn't work.

Today she died from a heart attack.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue
