Mostly unrelated, but how on earth is the word MENSTRUAL triggering safe search?!

(Feat. @404media.co)
Screenshot of a Google search for: 'menstrual site:https://www.404media.co/' Instead of the expected list of results, there is a highlighted box with the text: "Results hidden by SafeSearch SafeSearch is set by a device, network or browser administrator to hide explicit results, such as sexual content or graphic violence." Next to this text is a blue button reading 'Learn more'.

It turns out you can't say the word 'genitals' on LinkedIn...
A LinkedIn post rom Quinn Rhodes reads: "This is going to be a fun test of how comfortable LinkedIn is with links to writing that talks about genitals, so here goes: It's a truth universally acknowledged that trans healthcare in the UK is fucked - but what if it wasn't? What if trans people could actually expect our basic healthcare needs to be met? In my most recent newsletter, I explored whether I'm lying to myself about bottom surgery. (Spoiler alert: I am.)" Below the link to the article is a red warning symbol and the text, also in red: "Only you can see this post. It's been removed because it goes against our Professional Community Policies. Learn more." A screenshot of an email from LinkedIn Trust & Safety Team to Quinn Rhodes with the subject line: A problem with your post. The email reads: "Hi Quinn, Your post doesn't comply with our Professional Community Policies on adult content. It's been removed from LinkedIn and only you can access it. Repeatedly creating content that doesn't comply with our Professional Community Policies can result in feature access limitations or restrictions to your account. Please visit the notice page about this decision for additional details and resources." At the bottom is a blue button with the text: "View Notice Page"

Your call for pitches was featured in @journoresources.org.uk's weekly newsletter yesterday, which may be playing a part in the sudden increase!

Text reading: "Independent sex positive blog Girl on the Net is open to guest blog pitches. This is one for those just starting out, mind, as they only pay £40 per piece."

Patreon have denied my appeal to reinstate my account after they deleted it for violating their community guidelines by creating written porn zines! Merry Christmas to me, I guess.
Screenshot of an email that reads: "Hello, This is Kris from Patreon’s Trust & Safety team reaching out with a status update on your recent appeal. After review, your appeal has been denied. While we won't reinstate this account, you may create a new Patreon in the future. Please wait at least two months and then email guidelines@patreon.com with details about your intended new project. We take safety seriously on Patreon so please allow us time to review your unique situation. All the best, Kris"

This newsletter's cruising the internet section includes:
- writing by @thefrankiedlc.news and @jemcollins.co.uk,
- books by @sofiehagen.bsky.social and Tatenda Shamiso,
- a brilliant Instagram reel by @ellenjones.bsky.social (plus a link to pre-order her book!), and
- art by Louie Läuger.
The text 'cruising the internet' is bookended by an illustration of a lube bottle squirting out three droplets of lube and a denim pocket with an orange hankie tucked into it. The text is a black, sans serif font on a teal background.

I’m very excited to announce the launch of Gender Neutral Urinal Press!

October 2024 marked seven years of me writing about sex, and to celebrate I made a zine. Or rather, I finally got my shit and am ready to send out the first batch of Porn By Post zines. (🍆📮)
A lilac A6 zine sits on a shelf in front of books with orange spines. The front page of the zine reads: 'Porn By Post Issue #1: BOUND ON THEIR BED (NOT THE FILTHY BATHROOM FLOOR)' Below the writer's name (Quinn Rhodes) is the logo for Gender Neutral Urinal Press, which is a black and white image of a mouth with its tongue stuck out and a droplet rolling off the tongue.
