Do I know anyone attending Charmed next year?

This is for the edging prompt of kinktober (more like bondage prompt but idc). Claude has reached a new level of cuteness here 🤤
Because you demonstrate that being the pro porn expert in public spaces gets you massive violence, career destructive stigma and your publishers betray you.
Because the people who are getting fucked over by these bans are usually several flavours of marginalized and precarious. Consumers generally feel they will always be able to pirate titty and resent paying for the same reason they resent paying farm labour or childcare.
Furthermore tolerance of the internet being for porn depended on the Internet being an obscure, heavily male coded and wealthier space. It duplicates the old rules about the OG Greek/Latin erotic texts not being as censored as the translations.
Our brief period of freedom existed in a general free speech bubble we mistook for linear left wing progress. And in reality that was very fragile and unevenly applied. Earlier eras still stigmatized sexy. Nudes were seen as shameful to the subject photographed.
Because most people are deeply uncomfortable talking about sexuality in terms of a product with a price tag, and because the conversation is completely captured by the belief porn is an addictive vice. Massive social bias. Even kink communities espouse anti porn rhetoric.
Back from the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival Halloween thing. Fun seeing people dress, up, but one of those occasions when it helps to know more people. Otherwise you are just sort of vibing in a big, loud crowd.

Lots of happy couples/poly clusters.
No confirmed Paladin yet, though serious guards remain helpful. No background femdom either, though Swordheart and Nettle And Bone had serious vibes, but it's not clear if this heroine will get a love interest.
Lest you think spotting familiar beats is a criticism, I enjoy writing English sonnets because the rigid structure forces creativity. Kingfisher has their touchstones, but this is like attending the symphony and going "Uhgh, brass instruments and violins. Groundbreaking."
Part way into Hemlock and Silver. It's got the usual highlights so far:

There is a mid life stage woman of hearty build (and some discomfort about this) helping a young girl from an insidious growing peril. Horses are dubious, chickens and plants are detailed.

It's a comfort read.
This would be my first instinct <3 what about you? And do you want a sequel? ;)
Would you feel more comfortable if you had a helper equivalent to your level of celebrity, or would the fact that you need a protective detail at all serve as a deterrent to enjoying yourself?
But I think we *do* need to acknowledge that the "men are beasts" version of feminism implicitly dovetails into the SWERF and TERF parts. And the consistent habit "women as pure victims" advocates have of making alliances with more overtly misogynistic groups.
Gender essentialism never goes well, even when you think you are doing it reactively and defensively.

Similarly the "men can't experience sexism" effort to stop bad faith derails misses sexism injures everyone. You don't need to water down your momentum to acknowledge that.
I don't like the "misogyny is a problem, but misandry is not" argument, because it supposes the two beliefs exist in opposition to eachother as some sort of universal men VS women competition. Except I have never seen someone sincerely into hating men who wasn't also a raging misogynist.
I actually think the weird merkin thongs everyone is scoffing at are kind of a neat edgy thing in the context of a world that aggressively denudes pubic hair.
The fact that my YouTube is stuffed with 23 to 40 year old nice ladies selling me on their autumn resets, fall morning routines, harvest adventures, equinox witch cleansings, etc.... makes this delightfully on point.
Quebec is so good at this, isn't it?
Rather than contradicting you, what context is the money here being used?
One of my favorite parts of the CBC is a significant portion of it are quirky, interesting human interest stories. They cover the big shit too, but the tone is always "and this is what that means, that's why people are concerned". And I feel like surprise falling fish stories are to help keep calm.
