Hey. This is the BEST POSSIBLE SEASON to badger Visa and Mastercard into fucking off about their shitty fake-moral-panic over LGBTQ+ spending habits and content on retail platforms.
Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, VISA and Mastercard. No one wants to hear jack shit from you. You're a fucking receipt printer.

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression!

if you notice quasisymmetric behavior in your mirror, your first priority is to remain calm. do not acknowledge the aberration in the presence of the mirror. do not allow your eyes to linger on the aberration. navigate to a mirror-free room before calling the hotline.

We had a medical advocate. When I asked her what we would have done without help, she said “most people die.” It’s a nightmare traversing the medical system, and my husband was sick as fuck. They kept telling him to live - how?! When you get home from chemo and there’s a 90k bill in your box?’

one of the underlying factors in all the Epstein stuff is that his correspondents - even the ones who likely did not participate in abuse themselves - are completely incapable of imagining his victims as people. he is real to them, the girls aren't.
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency.
It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.

Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

We look so hard for ordinary people! Keep a diary! And write down everything you take for granted in it, please!
I find the phrase “makes history” nonsensical. Have you seen the stuff historians study? Just dropping an old piece of farm equipment down a well or accidentally freezing to death in a glacier gives you a good shot at the history books

I know it's cliché to say this, but if you're thinking about transitioning, just fucking do it already. You can always stop if you don't like it, but if you wait years and years and then do it and realize it was the best decision you ever made, you'll bitterly regret not having done it sooner.
