Are Credit Card Companies Becoming Morality Police? Queer indie creators are at the epicenter of moves by Visa and Mastercard to suppress or erase art

It was a PAIN IN THE ASS to get this post published: Medium refused to post it, citing prohibited material (??). Thank you @james-finn.bsky.social for helping me sneak this past the censors. Medium, we WILL be following up!! medium.com/prismnpen/ar...

Shout out to everyone still giving the payment processors hell

We've got to keep this fight up - for as long as it fucking takes - because censorship is the first step to removal from public life... Which is a step towards removing adult content creators & queer people from life altogether

I love giant ground sloths!

Writing a poem
is like holding back the waves
before they reach shore

Thank you DJ Tyrer for publishing this haiku in 5-7-5 Journal.

You boy, in the ridiculous straw hat, what day is it?

Happy Bloomsday!! Wish I was in Paris 💔

"Gaza is not the subject of the next paper. Its writers and artists are not bait for a new grant or fellowship. Its murdered children are not the subject of the next ethnographic study, or the next anthology or the next art installation or digital humanities project."

This sounds an awful lot like what happened with Dreamspinner Press in 2019-2020. The company used royalties to pay their expenses, hoping some investment (or maybe just the next quarter's profits) would cover what they stole. I pulled my books and moved on, but many authors were owed $$$.

Congratulations @caricaturesca.bsky.social! It was a pleasure to work with you on this. Thank you for being part of the Wilde/Joyce family ❤️❤️

On a Forgotten Author and How Nazis Burned Berlin’s Queer Underbelly Elektropolis Coked to the Eyeballs: Berlin’s Modernist Identity Crisis

Mia Spiro writes in Anti-Nazi Modernism (2012) that “the novels that Barnes, Isherwood, and Woolf wrote [… reveal the] conditions in 1930s Europe that made the continent ripe for disaster.” To this list I would like to add Robert McAlmon's 1920s stories about queer Berlin: medium.com/prismnpen/on...

In case you needed another reminder about how bogus credit scores are, mine just dropped thirty points because my husband paid off his student loan. We got married last year and have no shared accounts. Capitalism is a ✨scam✨

Thanks!! Sorry I missed your tweet; I haven't been checking X in months.

I just found out today, and emailed you to let YOU know! 😅

Thank you for including me on the shortlist!

When I’ve posted about the terrible effect tarifs will have on books in Canada, I’ve gotten responses where folks seem to think everything *but* stuff by Canadian authors will be affected. These folks have no idea that most Canadian popular *and* academic authors are published in the US.

Oop, yep. Two of my books and one book review in a scholarly journal. Is there a class action we can join yet?
