wild considering most sex workers I know have had at least one of their accounts yeeted for the crime of existing

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

In the US at least, I think all we really ever see are technically sweet potatoes, even though they're colloquially called yams. Actual yams aren't very sweet.

Fascism is aesthetics before it is anything else. That essence is inexplicable to people who do not have a primarily intuitive orientation.

To defeat it, opponents must champion intuition in art, mutual aid, sexuality, & cooperation.

A politics of loving strength is the only peaceful way to win.

Fairhope library funding remains at risk as book dispute returns to Alabama board Two-year battle over placement of books with sexual content continues as APLS could consider Thursday whether library meets requirements to receive state funding.

Conservatives in Alabama are literally starving the local public library of funding because it refuses to hide sex ed books, and novels that feature sex and masturbation, from teenagers.

They'd rather shut the library down than allow teens to access knowledge that contradicts dogma.

If you're an organizer and you don't already assume you're being spied on, you need to take another look at your entire security protocol. I swear SWers still have so much to teach you all

All of the most wholesome people I know are sex workers.

the handslap at the end is mildly erotic

Worked like a dog today as part of this handsome mobile lab team. Felt great. We gave HIV tests to 86 sex workers, got 3 poz, 6 inconclusive & 77 neg results. Got the 3 into care & about 60 of the 77 neg onto PrEP! Also gave PEP, antibiotics, condoms & lube to 200+ sex workers. A successful day.

I’m sick of writing about dead trans people | Xtra Magazine For 15 years, I hoped my words would change something. Now I’m grieving the world that could’ve been

Cory Mills Was Caught With Sex Workers Before Mission to Afghanistan in 2021, Sources Say The group Mills had traveled with to Afghanistan parted ways with the then-congressional candidate in Tbilisi, Georgia, after they found out about the sex workers. It appears Mills went to Afghanistan...

Sex work is work so I don't give a fuck but I do love seeing how much of the media has adopted a term, sex worker, that not long ago was largely limited to community spaces.

That's activism.

"Elon Musk is a better role model than Jesus, better at conquering Europe than Hitler, should have been selected before Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL draft, has the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” and is a better porn star than Riley Reid, according to Grok"

Grok now says Elon Musk should have won the 2016 AVN For Performer of the Year.

Twitch introduces facial age scans in the UK despite privacy concerns Twitch is complying with the UK's Online Safety Act, but many users aren't happy

Twitch says it will comply with the British government's demand and require users to submit facial scans in order to access streams.

Pornhub Is Urging Tech Giants to Enact Device-Based Age Verification The company sent letters to Apple, Google, and Microsoft pushing for an alternative way to keep minors from viewing porn, as US and UK laws have caused its traffic to plummet.

Pornhub is asking device-manufacturers to help them block minors — just as they already do for apps. So why are Apple, Google and Microsoft refusing?

“I promise you, NCOSE would gleefully move to silence many RIAA-label supported artists, claiming their music is "obscene" and must be stopped. It would be nice if artists on RIAA labels spoke up about how they feel about the RIAA supporting NCOSE's attacks on speech.”

Quote from article on minors accessing porn states that Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube are the top sites minors access porn.

Remember this when you see scare headlines about the high rate of minors seeing “porn” online: They’re either not seeing it on porn sites or what they’re seeing isn’t actually porn.

It turns out minors not necessarily know what “porn” even is.

Imagine someone seventy years from now looking back at the 2020s and looking at travel influencer accounts on TikTok and imagining that that's what life was really like, and trying to figure write policy to get society back to it.

The right loves AI because it allows them to manufacture a fantasy and present it as objective historical reality. Propaganda as a self-conscious political project is one thing, but they're constantly getting high on their own supply.

Gab.com desk calendar featuring a vintage-y drawing thin white woman doing the dishes and twelve months of 40s style fantasies about men and women (plus Jesus)

Just got a mailer promoting a Gab.com 2026 calendar. I refuse to believe that we can not defeat the right when they live in this weird softbrain fantasy world.

Give Us Your Face or Lose Your Account: AI Age Verification Is Here, and Experts Are Worried From Spotify to YouTube, platforms now demand biometric proof of age. Experts warn that you could lose access—and your privacy—if the algorithms get it wrong.

"Companies will always prioritize their needs and safety over yours, and that uploading sensitive information to the internet will always come with risks and vulnerabilities, no matter how safe these companies claim your data is in their hands."

(For those who are not aware, age-verification can cost up to $1 per verification, depending on the type of verification, the type of site, the state/country, the company and the volume).

Yoti revenue surges amid boost from Online Safety Act rules The Online Safety Act, which was passed in October 2023, introduced age verification requirements for access to adult content.

so wait you're telling me someone is making money on internet censorship

“The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days are back."

Above all, romantasy allows for "exploration of domination and surrender and intensity — within a very protective framework," said Erika Miley, a clinical sexologist in Spokane, Wash. Unlike standard pornography, which she described as immediate and visual, romantasy tends to be internal, emotional and imaginative, Dr. Miley continued. "Porn bypasses that safety of the slow burn," she said. "Whereas romantasy intentionally builds it."

And, in what should be an automatic coda to any article about women's consumption of sexual material, anything good in erotica most certainly could not apply to porn. For ... reasons.

Sexy words: good. Sexy pictures: bad.

Society has so many weird rules about how women get off.

But while reading the books can serve as a powerful aphrodisiac, there are some aspects of them that give therapists pause. For one, the books can paint an unrealistic portrait of sex, Ms. Marin cautioned. On the page, intimacy is seldom awkward, often unfolds intuitively and almost always ends in orgasm. And when you are spending hours upon hours reading about brooding and muscular warriors, devoted to their beloveds, your own living, breathing and imperfect partner may start to look a little milquetoast, added Elizabeth Earnshaw, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Philadelphia.

Of course, there's some Times-y hand-wringing over women confusing well-hung minotaurs on a milking farm with real-life. It's literally fantasy! Like most media!

"Food Network viewers may be developing unrealistic expectations about their dinner."

Sex Had Become a Chore. Then They Started Reading Romantasy.

Gee, it's almost as if porn — er, romantasy — can actually be an aid to explore your sexuality and increase sexual satisfaction.

It's almost as if talking about and celebrating sexuality is the solution, not repression and censorship.

In Texas, a new law has redefined “parental rights” to mean that a single parent now has the right to remove a book from libraries district wide because the the story of a boy unicorn with eyelashes offends them.
