As you all know, I've faced significant stress this month from having various online accounts dinged in some shape or form. I discussed this on stream earlier this week, but would like to break down the full timeline in post form

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"
they are not your allies.

There will be all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork to ensure that the only result of the Epstein files coming out is more restrictions on sex work and more censorship. They can and will use it as an excuse to make sex workers less safe.

Hey freelance artist! Consider going to your local tax accountant. Some of them will charge a reasonable amount for filing and will keep your stuff locked up for easy preparation next year.

the best way to get out of an extrinsic game that you find yourself still playing despite disliking is to just force yourself to miss an event in-game. if you're the completionist type it's an extremely fast way to sever yourself from it
