YES! Another weird one is the sudden and inexplicable rise of people saying "whenever" when they really mean "when." The former implies repeated actions ("whenever I went to the store, they were out of kiwis") vs a singular event ("when I went to the store yesterday...").

there is already a category of pornography centered on narrative, it's called erotica lol and you don't have to destroy the clean drinking water supply to read it

#GOPlogic:

30-year-old white politicians: "kids"

Menstruating 9-year-olds: women
Black tweens in hoodies: men
Epstein victims: women
Miss Teen USA contestants: women
Immigrant toddlers: old enough to defend themselves in court without an advocate

We craft our erotica meticulously, with great care and consideration. Or you can go use this theft machine that's stolen from writers to spew out crap.

In which case I think you're a fucking tasteless moron.

Me: I’m sapiosexual.

You: Ah, attracted to smart people.

Me: (putting a tap in a maple tree in full bondage gear) What?

Having lived in 4 of the top 5, can confirm, with the caveat that as a white woman, mine is not the immigrant experience of others, and I've heard all top three countries on this list are not as welcoming to visible minorities.

Consenting adults: I want to make money writing erotica
Payment processors, governments, social media: NO. That's DISGUSTING. How DARE you use the Internet this way!

Planet-destroying plagiarism machine company: We want to make money regurgitating stolen erotica
Regulators: HELL YEAH, INNOVATION!

I write erotica as my literal job and this is somehow 10x hotter than anything I've written all week πŸ₯΅

She left the house and ventured into blackness. No bra. Just the hoodie she had slept in, sweatpants, boots without socks. The parking lot was empty. The aquarium building loomed like a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean; with all the floodlights turned off, the red glow of the emergency EXIT signs blinked like eyes.
She shouldn’t be here. The thought crossed her mind, but she couldn’t bring herself to care.

Found a clean snippet to share! Most of my uses of "care" are attached to "after" 😏 #WIPSnips #Writesky #WritingCommunity

Step away to do literally anything but write, but especially make time to *read*. Half of my best ideas arrived because I was mentally rewriting a scene I was reading; "I could've done this better" or "Oh that's brilliant, I wish I'd written that, but I'd do X instead of Y."

Also, touch grass!

Most Disney movies, but the one that really shocks people is never having seen The Lion King, for some reason. Also, until very recently, I had never seen a single Star Wars.... except The Mandalorian series.

You should be ashamed by your lack of factchecking. This "study" (can we even call it that?) extrapolates data from a sex-addiction counseling clinic in Texas. The data were collected using surveymonkey and are clearly p-hacked.

Bluesky's censorship of the above post: "1 label has been placed on this content: Adult Content"

Bluesky's censorship of the above post: "1 label has been placed on this content: Adult Content"

Bluesky's auto-censoring of content is so bad, it just censored a book cover with no nudity, no sexual words, no innuendo, nothing: just a woman in a bralette. Literally more covered than a swimsuit. I'm appealing but come ON. And they think they can ban CNC and noncon effectively??
