Anyways, cis people: if you care about a trans person/trans people, the best thing you can do for us is get us stable, reliable jobs. Hire us if you're a manager/owner, tell your bosses/coworkers to if you're not. Recommend us, talk about us, keep asking if they've looked at our resumes yet

I thankfully got hired for six months at my college library, and that's the only reason I have the (more and more limited) savings I have, but that ended when I graduated Outside that, we're coming up on four years of unemployment, despite continuously applying for jobs in that time

I remember as a teen feeling like I had to resist "mainstream" music - that was partly being a 90s alternative snob, and partly that pop music has gotten more interesting, but also just getting older I know that getting into the music of summer 2026 won't hurt me, and will be unbearably precious

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

it was easier for us to remember this a few centuries ago when actors very literally had the same social status as prostitutes, but it has never not been true. control over sexuality/sex work, control over speech/expression, and economic control over artists are all bound up in one another.

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

Anorexia is the deadliest mental illness, with a 5x relative rate of mortality - deadlier than severe depression or bipolar disorder. People are not *nearly* afraid enough of getting an eating disorder (or of helping someone else get one)

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

What's wrong with people! I'm blushing so hard just *thinking* about the idea of meeting an author I like whose books I had secretly pirated, but to actually say it out loud, like an absolute jackass?? Pay the creator!! So you can shake their hand and not feel shame!

I don't do any DRM on anything I make, but it gets really disheartening when I hear people talk about how they share around my books and other stuff. I have had multiple people tell me to my face that they downloaded my books without paying, or shared copies amongst friends. Please don't do this :(

Y’all Someone with an Erotic Hypnosis shirt popped up on the latest episode of Crowd Control on Dropout. I’m not gonna spoil what happens in the episode, but the comedians are respectful of our kink, and I feel good about how we were represented. It’s worth your time if you have s chance!

Take a seat. This better be horny as hell.

Beware hypnotists having sex or face the ultimate humiliation: trying to snap with fingers covered in silicone lube and your snapping finger slips BACKWARDS

Hypnotic sex is sex that can be, literally, a poem, that can be a literary trope, that can be a rhetorical device, that can be sophistry, that can be a funny joke

A kind of cryptographic anti-censorship measure where the hypnosis happens in one video and the sex in another video, and they are combined in realtime in your browser via a javascript plugin

If you are under 30 + trying to clap back at Gregg Araki (a sixtysomething queer man who came of age during the AIDS crisis!) in a comments section about how it is "too dangerous" to be intimate with another person in 2k26, please kindly READ A BOOK (or even watch a doc!) about queer history.
