how life feels when there's a sicko on the same disgusting freak wavelength as you

I am constantly hurt by the callousness with which people dismiss the harm of restricting adult content and porn, only concerned about the knock-on effects for queer people and radical political groups. Sex workers ourselves matter just as much as non sex working queer people and leftists.

We are not canaries in the coal mine whose deaths you can dismiss while you frame groups you actually care about as the sole human casualties of these policies. I need you to care that laws like the Online Safety Act lead sex workers to have to return to abusive third parties to find clients or to work in brothels we hate or to such poverty that we starve. I need you to care about payment processors refusing to pay out for adult content because it means sex workers cannot rely on online work when selling sex in-person becomes too much for our bodies or too risky.

Please care about sex workers' suffering, rather than only the fact your favourite queer game was de-listed from itch.io and that you have to use a VPN to access adult subreddits without giving your ID now.

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

I think a lot of transmisogyny stems from this idea that people are really scared to see a dick. The reason bathrooms and locker rooms and hot springs keep being flash points is because these are all places where if a trans woman is using them, it's possible you might see her dick. A lot of transmisogynistic humor revolves around being traumatized because the subject saw a woman with a penis. And look, to a certain extent I sympathize. I'm not a fan of dick; I dont want this thing either. But if you want to be an ally to trans women, I think a big important step you can take personally is to examine your own reaction to the scenarios I described above, and recognize that a dick is just a body part a girl has sometimes. Seeing it as inherently sexual and/or traumatizing is a major wedge conservatives use to justify their rhetoric

[eroscestlavie]

We rly need to bring back the term “acquaintance” like into regular and frequent use. So many high drama community squabbles and feelings of betrayal could be avoided if people just admitted there’s a step between “stranger” and a full on friend whose friendship you have a commitment to continuing and fostering. Like sometimes you’re just aquatinted with someone and you might decide you don’t like them after getting to know them a bit better…that’s very normal

"you understand" is a common phrase exchanged between perverts

I think we should just let girls kill people if it makes them feel beautiful

dog goes gorp

[mortalityplays]

there is no single argument against including trans women in sports that doesn't boil down to "women aren't supposed to be good at this" and it's fucking insane to me that every woman in the world isn't up in arms about the way this issue has laid institutional misogyny bare to the bone

[mortalityplays]

then again it has also revealed how many misogynistic cis women believe in their own exceptionalism to the point they feel they benefit from "women aren't supposed to be good at this" and will use every tool in the white imperial torture kit to ensure the acceptable categories of 'woman' and 'good' remain shallow and narrow enough for them to force themselves into a position of supremacy.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

there's not a single example I could give that's better than this

[drowning-lessonz]

i do in fact think i'm better than people who use ai for everything next question

(voice of someone about to turn 30) it’s nice making friends. It’s nice to play together and have fun. It’s nice to hang out

[etchif]

This current trend of people being very openly hostile towards polyamory has made me realize a few things and among those things is that, apparently, to many people the bad thing about someone cheating in a relationship is simply that they are having sexual/romantic relations with multiple people at the same time. Like, that's what the issue is to many of them that's what's morally wrong about it. Not the fact that they're going behind their partner's back to break a serious established boundary and their trust. Which is crazy

[etchif]

This is why they don't care when you try to explain that polyamory is consensual therefore by definition not cheating it doesn't matter at all because to them the issue was never consent. They just think being with multiple people at the same time is inherently immoral in any context even if literally everyone involved is cool with it

I dont want to see your ai "creations" seriously its so cringey and gross

Hello!

While I tried doodling here and there in my youth, I didn't formally start learning art until I was 27 years old. 27! I had lived as long as Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, and Kurt Cobain had for their entire lives, creative output and all, and here I was like a newborn deer scrambling to get my footing in art!

I started this because it was a bit of a rough spot for me. I left my job as an engineer and had just started my PhD program, which was effectively a full-time job making just enough to cover groceries and my share of the rent, but not much else. Everything else - games, books (thank you public library), even taking a taxi - was considered extraneous. While I had commissioned art several times before then, suddenly I couldn't justify the cost. There were many artists out there whose art I adored and wanted to support, and I had lots of characters and things I wanted to see made real!

So, I picked up my pencil and an old sketchbook and I started drawing. Home late from class? I would cool down with some doodle practice. In the lab on a sunday waiting for an experiment to finish? That was a golden 30 minute window to draw. It was rough. Rougher than rough. Even though I had tried drawing before, I had no concept of anatomy, posing, layout, composition, color(!), or style. Yes, I would get frustrated ("why doesn't it look on the page like it looks in my head? Q~Q"), but I learned that 1) artists are very supportive, and my friends were happy to give advice and feedback as I grew, and 2) visualizing and creativity are a practiced skill! It takes time, but Idk if I can live without doing art. Its fun and I love the high you get when you look at something and go "I made that!!!" Even my old, rough art...sure I cringe at it, but its fun to revisit. Its something I made,

So why am I yelling about all this (again)? Because for some reason, here more so than the site with an actual ai bot built in, here right on tumblr I somehow end up seeing more ai generated crap everywhere. Maybe its a factor of community size. Or people in my niche just wanting more "content" to wallop their scallops too (I do get lots of hypno community stuff on my dash). Its disheartening and frankly just gross.

"But I wanted to create something to share with the community!" Pick up a pencil. Make a shitty photoshop meme. Write it out as a story. It's what weve been doing for literally decades now.

"But I tried art and it seems hard or I cant do it because xyz!" Look, Im a dumb bitch who never thought she had a creative bone in her body. If I can do it, so can you. And if art isn't for you? See the previous answer above. Or as we say in science, vide supra.

You have something you want to share? We want to see the you within it! Put your love into it, your own personal touch. Nothing can overcome the feral rawness of someones interests diffusing into their work. Anything else is just hollow. Theres no cleverness. Theres no whimsy. Its just sad.
