If you wanna be a writer, you’ve got to develop your voice. If you want to develop your voice, you need to turn off predictive type on your devices because it really wants you to sound exactly like everybody else.

A lot of things changed after 2014 (from what I've been told) so this takes place before and during that change.

My brain is really not being my friend lately when it comes to sentence variety and writing a compelling sex scene. Research and study are always good practice So I wanna really go pick some good queer sex scenes in books apart. Send me recommendations or ones you've written that you're proud of?

Digital illustration of a black woman wearing a long turquoise dress, with braids swaying down her back, standing in a window looking out into brownish, red autumn trees. She is holding a glass of red wine in her hand with a half empty bottle on the window sill to her left. There are 2 black cats near her: one on a stool to her left and one walking towards her to the right. To the far right two large plants in purple and pink flower pots frame the image. To the left of them you can see a shelf with wine bottles and glasses on it. Light shines through the window with blue beaded curtains blowing in the wind.

What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid? Immigration law can be tricky, but here's what you should know.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

An infograph meme quoting a moment from the movie "The Incredibles". There is black text that reads: Alright, listen closely. I'd like to help you with the ads, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to click on the gear icon and select "Report Playback Issue". But I can't. I also do not advise you to select anything related to how the advertisement is offensive or inappropriate; I wouldn't expect Twitch to do something about the ICE ads if they get flooded with enough reports. Below, there are images that are as follows: From left to right, top to bottom. Mr Incredible whispering to an old lady in an office building.

Cigda = Press Release: Statement on Game Delistings 29 Jul 2025 IGDA Statement on the Censorship and Delisting of Games June 29, 2025 The IGDA is calling for greater transparency and fairness in how adult games are moderated and actioned across major platforms. We are alarmed by the vague enforcement of policies delisting and deplatforming legal, consensual, and ethically-developed games, especially from LGBTQ+ and marginalized creators. Developers deserve clear rules, fair warnings, and the right to appeal.

IGDA is NOT happy with MasterCard and Visa. This new press release even calls on readers to call both companies

WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

This is a long and emotionally heavy masterpiece of a video essay. It's a lot to take in, but I highly recommend it. If you find it insightful, maybe share it around, especially considering that it deals with subject matter that YouTube actively suppresses.

Disability is not a moral failing

It’s not something a person chooses, nor can they “try harder” out of it

Most of us will experience disability at some point in our lives

You can be born disabled, it can happen suddenly due to accident or illness or be the result of aging

It’s a part of life

after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to

askvisa@visa.com

they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

People keep telling me that I shouldn't be mad at @itch.io, just the payment processors.

They are fundamentally misunderstanding why I was up until 4am reporting on this last night.

Itch is withholding trans authors' incomes. If you stiff my girls, then yeah, we have a fucking problem.
