The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The goal is slavery . It’s pure unmitigated slavery Musk has said it . Anyone arguing otherwise is soft pedaling because they don’t want to deal with how comfortable they were with the warning signs as long as they got to be better

I don’t think the only or even primary goal is re-segregation. It’s total human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is jusd a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

Sorry, but putting a Dem bumper sticker on your new Tesla does not absolve you from giving money to a Nazi. Don't say you didn't know. Intentionally covering the Tesla symbol means you're plugged in. And don't say, "bbbbut it's the best on the market!" If you're paying a Nazi, it's not the best.

Appeasement encourages the aggressor. It feels like a life-saving action sometimes. It's baked into our nervous systems as a response to existential threat. But for those who can break free of it, we have other options. We have choice. Until we are actually dead, we have choice.

As we're understandably panicking and more US-centric than usual, I noticed an interesting trend: certain clients don't bring up US politics. Canadians do. They're very concerned - for us and their proximity. Europeans? They don't mention it. This is their history. They know what we have to do.

The real reason right wingers want to cancel porn: they never get past their binge and purge cycles. There's no room for personal growth in dogma-driven communities that discourage self-reflection and critical thought.

This is important. If you want to understand what's actually happening, and therefore what's likely to happen *next*, here's a useful framework:

Welcome to someone not really knowing too much about the law trying to explain the law. First, porn is protected. by the First Amendment, second, "obscenity" and child porn are not. So, what is obscenity? There's a 3 pronged test (Miller Test) used to suss that out, and we're getting into it...

Given that I'm pretty sure "VPN" isn't a word that exists in the Bible, they are well and truly fucked.

If most therapists are trained to be client-centered, why the fuck aren't doctors?

This...and also, you can substitute dominance wherever he says, "hypnosis". There, now you've had a coaching session from both me and @TranceScript.

Weekly Hypnosis Tip (from last week, arriving late): Confidence and empathy. So over the last few weeks we've talked about repetition, because it's the cornerstone of hypnosis, and permission, because permissive language works. So today we're talking about the other two cornerstones of hypnosis...

I'll be keeping this, since I suspect none of you need it. 😉

Hot take of the day. Have at it, folks. (And for the record, I agree with him...including the rest of the thread, which I recommend you read.)

But have you tried making something people want to spend money on? Anything that's not behind a paywall is advertising, it isn't a product. Findom isn't real, not in the way the concept has deteriorated into. Wanting to be paid for any kind of intimacy or attention? That's just regular old sex work.

Nothing quite like a fear play session in which you threaten to remove someone's fingernail with pliers and make them think you're serious...and afterwards they tell you not only is it not a limit, someone previously did it with a toenail, and it wasn't even their most memorable scene that night. 😆

Here's hoping that in the wee hours of Inauguration Day, someone replaces the chair behind the VP's desk with a couch.

It's the little things.

This weekend @katherinecontrol.bsky.social dominated me in every way, and we also had Taco Time. if you're not a Seattle person, you won't know that Taco Time is "what if Taco Bell was made fresh and with fresh ingredients"

We looked like a GFE date, it was amazing :D Other dudes were basically high fiving me. And anyone who had Appetite on tape knows "I Think About You" is a fucking jam!!!

It was so good. They played damn near everything I most wanted to hear. (The only one they missed, which I was really hoping for, is a guilty pleasure fave because of how much I unreasonably love it: Think About You.)

The consolidation and emphasis of human connection and creativity in sex work, the emphasis of passion and interest and humanity is the only way to undermine the already here AI/Content/indie-porn-is-now-just-mainstream-porn-and-all-fetish-markets-are-over-saturated change in the industry.

Me, someone who is constantly at war with deadlines: “Maybe I should finally write a book.”
