It's transgender awareness week, and if you ever wanted to learn more about the history of transness in cinema, you could pick up our book CORPSES, FOOLS AND MONSTERS at your local library or purchase a copy. We wrote this book for trans people like us. Thank you.

You know, I'm extremely angry about what happened to Leslie. This was the last tweet he wrote before he died. This is such a fucked up, selfish society that we've normalized mass infection, stigmatized public health, and put disabled people through hell. Things didn't have to be this way.

This Aminityville: The Podcast episode is, indeed, a cursed object.

Which raises the question: When we encounter a cursed object, what must we do? How do we confront the curse?

It’s gotta be together, man, there’s no other way.

Sixteen hours down. Nine hours to go.
I’m just now starting the Horror Vanguard Amityville episode(s).

I will listen to every second of this episode at 1x speed. How long will this consume my stereo? Stay tuned to find out.

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

Porn is also history and cultural commentary and a crucial contributor to sexual self- exploration and self expression. Porn has been vital to queer and trans people in documenting important aspects of our language, presentation, interactions, relationships, institutions and communities.
PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are

In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
