We often say fuck the algorithm, but @sesmith.lol went long on how sex workers actually deal with income-stopping algorithms every single day: "This is not algorithmic softening. It is algorithmic violence."  

Can't wait for Shark week? Check out Pope Week! Only on Amazon Crime.

It is profoundly unjust that we have to live this way. It doesn’t make any fucking sense and it’s driving me insane

"All is fair in love and war" is a really pretty way to say you're cool with cheating and war crimes

Everybody needs to stop talking shit about felons. Villifying felons is exactly as racist as the US justice system. There are 20 million convicted felons. Hiring felons who are not donald trump is awesome actually. Just call trump a fascist pedophile rapist silly poopoo diaper baby etc

Leftists: we've been trying to organize a general strike for decades. We need just the right messaging, a ton of precise logistics, a wild amount of work, and an overall cultural shift in mainstream attitudes... Right: oops we broke shipping. Do people need gas to get to work?

It’s so embarrassing that people want Gavin Newsom to be President. On this Valentine’s Day, my message to you: do not settle for a man who does not care about you!

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

Dems: we stand against A, B, and C GOP: that's wild we'd never do those (*does all of them immediately*) Dems: if you agree to try to stop B (pinky swear) then we'll vote to sponsor A and C

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

Trump is a nobel peace prize recipient in roughly the same way that Elon is the founder of Tesla.

If I thought a car was about to hit me, the driver dying suddenly would clearly not improve my situation at all. That wouldn't stop the car? It is such a nonsensical story right on the surface, even if we hadn't all watched the footage.

I want to hear less "if we can hold out until his term is over, we'll be ok" and more "the end of his term is the best chance we'll have to unseat him, so let's make plans for that now". The plans will have to involve more than just getting more votes.

Tourists love watching the Hopes and Dreams play, looking like unicorns. Magestic. Vapid. #Regrets like me are grubby, stabby little shits mostly, but you need us. Raise us up right and we prey on bad decisions. Fewer new regrets. Ignore us and we multiply. We get hungry. Run. We're faster. #vss365

I made a painful #memory, so I took it to the memory prison to lock it up. I found a child weeping there, quiet and malnourished. I freed her and she clung to me. She was in pain, and I had forgotten pain, so I opened another cell to remember. By the time I raised her the prison was empty. #vss365

Indiana is suing Pornhub bc they used a VPN to access the site from outside the state, bypassing Pornhub's geoblock. I cannot stress enough: This is a MASSIVE escalation in the War on Porn, and a pivotal moment in the history of censorship. www.xbiz.com/news/294424/...

I just feel like it looks sus when someone gets murdered and a guy who is above the law says "that's what happens when you criticize me"

The bozo in the faux #boho shirt with the Polo logo said "no homo", but after his date ended solo (no mojo) he called his bro Joe on the down-low. Two years later he married Joe in a stylish suit, a bozo no more. Yolo? #vss365

Long ago gods fought over how the universe should work. The victors established laws - cause and effect, gravity - that make our lives possible. Other gods still exist, weak but not powerless. Most find the universal laws #monotonous and oppressive. We call their disobedience "magic". #vss365

We were both so nostalgic for the passion and stress of our relationship's frenetic #apogee, I didn't notice when our love died quietly in the mundane consistency of a stable life. I found myself sabotaging our peace, like jump-starting an engine. You were brave to leave. Good luck, Kermit. #vss365

With Art being in the hospital for 6 days over the Thanksgiving holiday, we are once again short on expenses. We have a court stipulation to pay December rent today & are $1500 short. If you are able, my CashApp is $isokecreative. gofund.me/1395745ca

So I guess we know that in 2017, Trump was active in child sex trafficking networks when he decided to start taking the children of asylum seekers away from their families at the border without the documentation required to reunite them.

if you're asking pritzker or any governor to send state cops to arrest federal cops may i ask the strain of cannabis you're smoking

The US has blocked a UN Security Council resolution for an immediate Gaza ceasefire and full aid access. It was the sixth American veto, with 14 votes in favour. The resolution also demanded hostage releases. #Gaza #USVeto

Not gonna vote for him for dog catcher much less president so you all better find someone who isn't a heartless asshole

Why am I never going to shut up about how terrible Gavin Newsom is? Because I don't like this cross-platform inorganic effort to shut people up about how he much he sucks. I'm not letting a bunch of bots tell me what to do. It's pure oppositional defiance. Lol

Gavin Newsom's policy on homeless people is exactly the same as Trump's policy on homeless people. I won't ever vote for anyone who sends armed men after my peaceful neighbors. That's as low a bar as I can manage, truly a bare minimum of democratic representation.

The enemy of my enemy is often also my enemy and it's cool when they hurt each other

I hate how when rich people lose elections, they get to buy a do-over.

There are some gay guys realizing gay marriage is under attack and talking about indivisible lgbtq solidarity, who need to reflect on why they weren't saying the same thing when it was just trans people's rights in the news.

Sweeping homeless camps and arresting the residents is just as fascist when Gavin Newsom does it as when Trump does it.

I love it when everyone suddenly gets mad about something I've been mad about for decades. Fuck payment processor censorship / discrimination!

Everyone deserves to know if the CEO is screwing the head of HR because that's super unethical, I don't care who's married

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t need the New York Times to succeed and Donald Trump still does

A judge ruled last week that the city could clear the encampment as long as it gave residents 72 hours notice.

When Star Wars Ep1 came out, we all knew a lot of plot stuff that'd have to happen before Ep4 just for continuity. But Friday came out 30 years ago, and with two sequels I still have no idea how they plan to tie it in to Friday the 13th. That's how you build suspense.

primary all of them. fuck this noise

Just hook it to my veins!

Y'all are going to have to realize that using the word felon as an insult doesn't do what you think it does. Most people in for felonies are not dangerous or bad, they just got caught on the wrong side of a fucked up set of laws. Many/most with felonies are decent, if unlucky, folks in your class.

I get kinda annoyed at people who say "all this because people didn't want to vote for a woman!" Sexism was part of it, but also Dems consistently caved to Netanyahu and continued writing blank checks to support Israel's aggression despite pressure from voters. Nobody ran on "let's not do that".

Please do not call the police when an ICE raid is occurring. It is highly unlikely that they will do anything to protect those being targeted, and much more likely that they will escalate the situation or allow it to continue. Their work is entrenched in systemic racism and oppression.

I made this video six months ago. It's very relevant today #skrmetti

If the police are breaking the law (or helping ICE to break it), then calling 911 is unhelpful. Passing more laws is also unhelpful. We can't fix it without acknowledging that we have a police problem.

In case you are wondering what started some of the protests yesterday. It's so important to be witnesses to this, and to call your representatives to tell them that this is NOT what Americans want.

Berkeley is destroying the possessions of people with nowhere to go again. No shelter available. Everyone will still be on the street afterward, even more desperate than ever. Why are we doing this?

Workers could be seen dismantling structures at the encampment around Eighth and Harrison streets Wednesday morning.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

Kansas just saw the first-ever private lawsuit under a state age verification law—filed by the mother of a teen who accessed adult sites on her laptop. Backed by anti-porn group NCOSE, they're demanding in $14M in damages. This case pushes the limits of AV laws —and the open internet.

Jan 6 rioters were bad because they fought for fascism against the results of an election, not because they used force against the government. I'm sick of hearing how bad it is that they fought against police. It's bad that they fought against democracy.

If you've got the income and the continued existence of queer porn is important to you, it's literally NEVER been a better time to pay for it, buy it, subscribe to it, and talk about it with your friends and followers. Across the board, I'm hearing signups are down and cancellations are up.
