We shouldn’t have to debate who “deserves” food, healthcare and housing.

We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone.

We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her.

How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck?

if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere

Sad to see bluesky and reddits popular tabs not flooded on how SCOTUS is agreeing to hear the potential end of birthright citizenship, a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. They're likely giving a decision June 2026, but how quick they decided TX map, who knows. I guess shadow docket again. #uspol #scotus

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available.

There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism.

Support real artists, not con artists.

Today on the blog we have Stanley Baxton's AAA3 essay "The Tension Between 'Artistic' Adult Games & Pornography, And How A Distinction Cannot Exist Under Capitalism". This one turned out to be, uh, substantially more prescient than anyone would have liked www.bpgamesinc.com/the-tension-...
Excerpt from linked essay. Text reads "When you hear “adult games”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? You might think of Steam, with dozens of hyper-specific fetish VNs released seemingly every minute. You might think of itch.io, with the top games feed flooded with asset flips and uncensored genitalia in thumbnails. To be brief, your first thought is probably not a harrowing deconstruction of sexual trauma, and instead Elf MILF Simulator 5000. This isn’t to insult the elf MILFs, or the devs hard at work bringing them into the world, but is a demonstration of the current existence of a specific sub-genre of adult games. Games that take adult themes and topics, sometimes including on-screen sex, and use them as tools of artistic expression. A tighter description, that these are games that happen to contain explicit content, rather than sexual gratification being the main draw for players, and are often presented as serious experiences. These games, however, often find themselves side-by-side with the thumbnails mentioned earlier. And often, someone looking for something to jerk off to is not also looking for a game that makes them contemplate their life choices. It begs the question: why are these games put next to ones that are apparently their antithesis, and is there a potential solution? Then, the next question from this arises: does that solution have consequences?" Excerpt from linked essay. Text reads "The reason AAGs find themselves here, is a simple fact of how capitalism operates. Capitalism flattens artistic expression into marketable categories as a means to extract value. It does not care for intent or expression, and instead reduces media down to a checklist of content it does or does not include. If a game depicts sex, it goes in the adult category. It doesn’t consider why or how the sex is depicted, and if the player is or isn’t invited to jerk off to it. All that matters is that reputable marketers are not running their ads next to “female-presenting nipples”, or that four old white men aren’t reminded the money they move around was touched by a trans woman at some point. No matter how an AAG may depict its mature elements, or going in with open intent and subtext that its content is not intended to be pornographic, the simple act of depicting them immediately puts them under this labelling. In any attempt to elevate adult games to new artistic heights, AAGs find themselves, by marketer definition, “just porn” no matter how groundbreaking they could be, and in the direct company of pornographic games." Excerpt from linked essay. Text reads "The desire for AAGs to be made distinct from porn games, and seeing wider respect as an art, however, is one that can only be applied as a double-edged sword. This will be intimately familiar to anyone who’s been on a platform that has undergone “porn bans” or attempted to restrict adult content. Often, these are supported by certain members of the userbase, usually under laws and rulings quoting the safety of children online. But, as is almost always the case, these categories don’t actually care about “protecting children”, only that marketers—arteries of capital—are not angered by arbitrary puritanical checkboxes that are in constant flux. Queer games in particular, adult or not, have been under constant pressure from all sides for the simple act of depicting queer experiences. The existence of queer bodies, particularly trans ones, are immediately classified as sexual by the ruling class of capital. To them, it doesn’t matter how the body is used, or even if the body is shown in an explicit manner, everything is “just porn” if it ticks the right boxes. By letting AAGs be defined solely by market categories, it risks handing over autonomy of what is and isn’t pornographic without questioning why those categories exist in the first place, as they only do for ever-changing standards of “marketability”."

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

in order: purchasing on bandcamp, streaming or purchasing from qobuz, streaming from most other platforms (apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.), or pirating (if financially unable to afford other options) are all valid alternatives to supporting the spotify corporation.

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Context for anyone wondering, a trans member of staff at a University was suspended for not giving this gibberish any points, and a lot of people really aren't seeing the forest for the trees on this.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
