Let's be clear about what the perfect is vs the good

Universal healthcare is the perfect. Universal basic income is the perfect. Universal education up to a doctorate if you want is the perfect. 100% renewable energy and open immigration and walkable cities and high speed rail are the perfect

Big Pharma profiting off the results if the anti-vax movement is the least surprising twist so far.

"Bluesky is dying"

Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

i'm no strategic thinkin guy, but i think this might play well

Absolutely!

Never got a response from itch, so tomorrow I am going to be making new version of the Dreams in Darkness bundle, as a few authors expressed a desire to pull or replace their deindexed books from it. If you're a part of the bundle, please check your email, because I just sent a new one out.

Why isn’t this front and center? When Hurricane Helene hit in North Carolina I heard for weeks on end how FEMA wasn’t doing enough on the ground, even though a huge number of people were mobilized.

I saw what I suspect Gretchen might have been suspended for, and quite frankly, it is exasperating just how much dehumanizing rhetoric and abuse trans women are forced to endure from the top down, yet if one of us dares to snap back or say something in a moment of anger how quickly the hammer drops.

People need to keep in mind this is the line. The reason we have such a breadth of styles and niches of adult content now is because people can make a living off of it. If we have our incomes demolished, 90%+ will have to stop and disappear. Action matters now more than it ever has before.

Remembering that time I asked a woman on a dating app what she liked to do for fun and she demanded to know why I wanted to know that information.

I don't miss dating.

hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner

There are well established niches for porn where the bottom is angry at the dick, afraid of the dick, even in awe of the dick, but I feel there's unexplored territory in porn where the bottom is confused by the dick. Like, forget cock shock – let's see some penis perplexity.

If there were an airline that said "You can sit next to a strange person or for $50 more you can sit next to a big dog" they'd get my business every single time.

Time is running out to preorder Moonflow. And if you're not preordering Moonflow, i mean, jeez, man, what are you even doing with your life

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

This! And encoded in that difference is the whole neoliberal capitalist mindset, because to the people who build these things, those objections are, respectively, (a) irrelevant to profits;(b) a forgettable externality; (c) a healthy marketing environment; and (d) the whole point in the first place

I think about this tweet multiple times a week

"You're a moron."

Earlier this year, we were able to increase writer pay to $75 per essay because of how much support we got from the community (many of whom came right here from Bluesky). We'd love to pay $100 per essay in 2026.

Very strange dream last night where I was back in college taking a women's studies class, but the professor was super into the PS1 game Nightmare Creatures and kept trying to tie the discussion back to it, much to her students' vocal confusion.

My questions are innumerable.
