For those of you who haven’t been following this fight, Ana has been leading the charge against censorship by corporations, specifically payment processors.
Recently it seems someone figured this out and has managed to black list them from almost any way of earning a living as an artist.

At the end of every successful mission, Bond's memories are recorded. Whenever a Bond fails to return from a mission, a suitable candidate is imprinted with Bond memories before being sent off on more missions.
Bonds might live long to retire. MI6 settles them in different villages.

the obvious solution is that all of the different Bonds exist in separate timelines. that's why Brosnan-Bond never had to tangle with SPECTRE.

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

"Are there even any-" it doesn't matter. Banning the few trans athletes isn't the point. The point, from Trump's ban on trans people in government to Britain's bathroom ban to Newsom's sports ban, is to make sure everyone knows trans women are OTHER and to act accordingly to us in their daily lives.

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow

(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.
