please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.

Web history disappears when it can’t be preserved. Today, many publishers are blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving parts of the public web, putting decades of digital history at risk. Tell publishers: don’t block the #WaybackMachine. Sign the petition ➡️ www.savethearchive.com/newsleaders/

Maybe you’re not the audience for smut. But be clear eyed that Kickstarter TOS, payment provider TOS, book laws in Alberta, these are all fascist foundations for even more insidious intrusions into the things we take for granted.

everyone gets so caught up in indignance and forgets to like, do anything except discourse about the shitty thing. reposting isn't going to get to kickstarter - directly filling out a help ticket will help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/req...

Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.

I think everyone should write in to protest the new policies regarding adult content at the behest of a payment processor. I have used the platform for over ten years and do not plan to continue unless this is reversed.

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

In regards to Kickstarter: start fucking calling and clog up those lines. This fight ain’t over. Cede no ground. Call PayPal and Stripe too. We go down biting the hand.

Due to the changes at Kickstarter no longer launching our campaign next week. Please RT this statement and encourage other studios and devs to speak up too.

MILF and DILF are now 'exploitative and abusive' language, according to Kickstarter

Holy shit! I absolutely shared this and even corrected someone who said it was a hoax because this came from clearly legit sources.

Or, to put it more bluntly: "Rich people could pay less in taxes if only women would do more unpaid labor at home."

hmm

Sigh. There is no aspect of America's right wing so horrifying that NYT won't treat it with, at best, a chortling pseudo-anthropological detachment.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Hey, unfortunately the IRO books have been delayed due to a printer error. They're saying the books will be done at best late April, at worst late May. Some details on my blog @ alexisflower.com if you like. Here's a pinup of Cin & M in AHS style as a small thanks for your patience:

I don’t know that I entirely agree, but after having played with a player who aggressively tried to get everything to be rule of cool, I find myself feeling vindicated by this list

We know this fight is exhausting. That’s not an accident wearing us down is their whole strategy. But you keep showing up anyway, and that means everything to us. Thank you for not giving up. We’re in this together.

The PDF of my nearly 200 page memoir about my month in the mental hospital is downloadable for a mere $5! It's not a total bummer, I swear- there are dick and fart jokes because I am me 👍 www.patreon.com/posts/space-...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Remember to be gentle with yourself today. Sometimes there are just things you cannot control, even within your own life. (I may need this reminder today...)

Are you more of a yestosterone or a testosternone? 😂🏳️‍⚧️

Contrary to the pundit class’ insistence, someone talking to you on public transit has been so reviled for so long there was a painting about it 150 years ago

Oh hey, this weekend Oh Joy Sex Toy turned 12 years old. That's pretty cool :3 We've got celebration-y plans for June so keep your eyes on www.patreon.com/OhJoySexToy for that (you can follow for free to keep up with our updates!) but in the meantime: Thank you to all our contributors & readers

Okay this is hilarious and ironic arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Today’s window into what We Are Like, geek edition: A tumult arose last week’s play session. Does the Druid spell spike growth ensnare a guard on horseback? The description says “The ground in a 20-foot-radius Sphere centered on a point within range sprouts hard spikes and thorns.” /1

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now. It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So, I finally called a psychiatrist to talk about meds, and at first the guy didn't want to let me make an appointment because I take Adderall(?) and then when I convinced him I had that handled he offered me a 4:00 today??

Lmao 🤣 savages

People still murder despite the threat of life in prison. You think the remote chance of a fine is enough to prevent discrimination?!

there are over 50 lesbian tinglers and a best selling lesbian horror novel so you are in luck

So far this year, I've had big life shifts, a lot of stress, some self-discovery, and not nearly as much sex as I'd like. But I'm going to do my best to enjoy myself, even when the world is rough. Like fr, I'm living in a nice house with some of my favorite people, let's be beacons of queer joy ✨

‘I have a headache and I must pack’ and other tales of moving-based horror

And this question from @jamellebouie.net is not far fetched. The CDC used to collaborate closely with WHO to determine the composition of the next flu vaccine. A highly coordinated, data-driven process that involved global influenza surveillance, virological analysis, and vaccine strain selection.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

This is fucking incredible.

We're very proud to offer the last two years worth of comics with alt text, and we're working our way through our decade+ of archives to transcribe everything! Here's all 142 comics we've transcribed so far: www.ohjoysextoy.com/category/com...

PITCH: An updated version of the curse of Cassandra where she's describing things that are happening now, in front of everyone, but still isn't believed.

Thousands of people tonight in NYC about to march to NYU Langone Hospital, which has decided to preemptively comply with Trump’s executive order prohibiting health care for trans youth.

So I guess my job doesn’t admit trans people exist anymore so that’s a cool thing about my day

Okay, I am finally getting around to reading Battle Magic and OH MY GOODNESS they openly confirm that Lark and Rosethorn are lovers AND in an open relationship! It's a small thing, but it's brightened my day ✨ #BattleMagic #TamoraPierce

Oh! I got my psychometric report back yesterday. It's 24 pages of all the embarrassing things I try not to be and all the broken bits of my personality, which is fun and interesting. Anyway, the practical upshoot is that I'm now officially diagnosed with #bipolar II and what is basically PTSD-lite😂

You asked. We listened. We're here.

I’ve actually decided that mother-and-child rice bowl is not kosher by virtue of b’al teshaktzu. 😝

If you have any information that you would like the Trump admin to spend time sifting through regarding DEI, you should send it immediately. Any and everything. Y‘know, to be helpful.
