starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

Still going. More non western works translated into English is a good thing. Let's do this!

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

#wips #booksky #horrorlit one of the hardest things about writing erotic horror really seems to be "how do you communicate subtly and clearly in a world that has so many people who's responses to complex subjects is black and white thinking?"

This reminds me of one of my favorite interviews where the white supremacist basically said that the only reason Asian test scores are higher than whites are because white people are lazy. The exceptions are morphed into a mythology that further justifies authoritarianism
Yeah, but how stupid are you to seek ‘knowledge’ on the basis of something decisively proven false, wholly concocted, concocted before ANY understanding of heritability or genes or DNA—AND entirely self-serving on the part of its inventors. When every single scientific advance proves it MORE WRONG?

But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.
