ForcedFemme is such a popular kink 😭 and obviously the listener is consenting by virtue of continuing to listen. This is so stupid I hate our dumb world.
I lost my Patreon for the time being. This obviously is a massive blow. I will try to resolve Patreon’s issues with my ASMR account, but I think this is the beginning of the end for using Patreon as a VTuber

Francesca Lia Block is the author I'd most credit with showing me that ugliness can be beautiful and that beautiful things can be a festering rot, and that finding your authentic self is a worthwhile pursuit because you'll always find your way through the ugliness to your own beauty. #booksky

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.
