Really sad to see this series come to an end, but what a way to go.
If you hadn't been following BoC, go catch up on their episodes, they do incredible in-depth comics coverage and interviews, with a level of care and humor and empathy that will be missed.

@scumbelievable.bsky.social joins us to talk about her novels incl. Black Flame and Manhunt, as well as the cancelation of her comic series Red Hood. Plus sensuality in horror and more!
Listen where you get your podcasts or bitchesoncomics.com/episode-201-...
Psst, this will be our final episode 😭

Israel is bombing Gaza again. The so-called ceasefire has only made it harder to draw attention to ongoing violence, but Sama'a and her family need us now more than ever.

This is retaliation plain and simple. Ana helped sound the alarm about the payment processors using their platforms to enact mass censorship, and now they are using the full might of their influence to make an example out of her.
This is extremely bad.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

DEAR VISITORS
The resident of this apartment is highly medically vulnerable.
Airborne diseases including COVID-19 can spread and linger like smoke.
Such diseases are often spread by individuals before they show symptoms.
Therefore, visitors are required to wear a well-fitting respirator mask at all times while in the apartment.
