Ten years in prison for tipping a cam model to masturbate.

The Crime and Policing Bill is working overtime to re-criminalize sex work ... which I guess will give them crime and more funds for policing.

Your semi-annual reminder that the best way to actually honor deceased veterans is to stop making so damned many of them.

Sex worker doesn't work as a joke because it's an inherently humanizing term, unlike hooker or prostitute.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Reading transgressive queer horror fiction to show my support for representation while also shaking my head to show that I disapprove of transgressive queer horror fiction
Transgressive queer horror fiction? Oh yes, I’m a fan—as long as it’s not problematic of course

New York just elected a mayor who supports trans people, unions, and sex workers. I have nothing witty to say. I’m happy.

I hope everyone on Mamdani’s campaign team gets this printed on commemorative t-shirts
Not really a crashout but probably worth putting here for uh, archival purposes

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.
