Seeing these congratulations for Brown and Penn which conveniently leave out that they've already given the Trump regime 95% of what they want keeps reminding me of how many times in history cultural victories against authoritarians are built upon the silent bones of queer populations.

It's going to involve AI and their new erotic services for verified adults but not real human women.

Mandating that all restaurant drinking glasses have to be carved from lab grown diamonds instead of regular glass. Everyone will have a lovely sparkling glass plus it will also drive the diamond business to ruin. Mandatory diamond drinking vessels for all is barely useful so hoping it counts!

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Here's an in-depth exploration of information you might wish to include in your Accessibility info for your venue or event, written by a disabled man!

Free to read.

johannestevans.co.uk/2025/10/15/d...

Some things to consider adding to your Accessibility section for your event and/or your venue, from a disabled man.

"The venue is semi-wheelchair accessible" is a good place to start, but then planning a night out, more information is better than less! Accessibility is the most basic thing I look for in a venue, especially for events.

Gross and embarrassing of them to do. Fenway has been a messy but necessary source of queer healthcare in Boston for decades. My own time under their care wasn’t without issues — imagine a doctor telling you that you can’t just take HRT on a “whim” at the queer clinic when you broach the topic…

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

Fenway Health Restricts Treatment for Patients Under 19 In Capitulation To Trump

“This is a fundamental betrayal to the core mission of Fenway and the patients they serve.”

6. Fenway is the latest domino to fall as trans-affirming clinics around the country enact restrictions, and states begin to take aim at adult care, too. Like Fenway, many clinics are citing federal or state guidelines. But there is no federal law banning gender-affirming care for trans people.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.
