Sex work, queer phobia, transphobia
Now is a great time to point out that the "concerned liberals" who are often fooled by Evangelical attacks on sex work and porn have a label:
SWERF, or Sex-Worker-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.
The fundie group behind Mastercard pressuring OnlyFans uses many of the same false "studies" and "facts" that I've seen SWERFs use in the past.
There's a great overlap, both in perspective and methods, with the "save the children from the pervs, and the women from themselves" rhetoric of TERFs.
Because they're the same folks.
What might look like the disappearance of a porn site could actually be understood as an attack on queer sexuality.
Any attack on non-mainstream sexuality (and yeah, things that directly compensate creators are Not mainstream) is going to disproportionately affect queer, POC, and disabled people, because of the sidelining of these people's sexuality.
This is some people's living wage.
Solidarity with sex workers.

I'm back with more Ikenfell! The headmistress' backstory left us with questions, so it's time to hit up the library for answers – and everyone's favorite library resource, the mysterious owl. What will they have to say to us? Come find out with me!
pain, pain meds
@FirstProgenitor i remember once after a surgery in oregon (i'm a washington resident) i went to the pharmacy to pick up some pain medication. i was in an extreme amount of pain (probably an 8 on the pain scale) and basically leaning heavily on a cane and shaking and could barely communicate. they told me to my face they couldn't fill it because my gender on my insurance didn't match my gender on my id. i can't think to call it anything but literal violence
would legit rather have a cyber world setting where it's like "oh, it reads your brain and makes your avatar look like you do in real life" but then when it goes public people just start showing up as who they actually are instead of what their body happens to look like

I don’t usually talk about big corporate media on here, but… heck it.
I’m still catching up on this show, and THE CANON LESBIAN COUPLE IS SUPER ADORABLE OMG!!!
I kinda want to show the (third of the) episode where they ask each other out to people and go “LOOK AT THE LESBIANS BEING ADORABLE TOGETHER” but I feel like there’d be too much to explain with the other goings-on. :/

It's been a while since I played Fantasian, the RPG from the creators of Final Fantasy with its lovingly-handcrafted diorama backgrounds. But part 2 just dropped, so I'm back at it!
I wonder how that world's been doing....
...*checks notes* oh. D:
weird idea: cooperative mode of a fighting game. instead of attempting to win, you're working with your opponent to make a flashy battle happen, and the game judges the two of you combined based on style and technique
this might encourage players to coach each other on techniques and stuff, especially if the kinds of things it judges you on are also applicable in versus matches
