i know yall love claude or whatever but maybe we can do something about the rampant porn bots and lack of app based 2FA

the bots are gaining sentience and they're capable of targeted harassment

starting with tomorrow's episode, you may notice a new permanent addition to the show notes. that is because we have merch now! it's a small product list, but it will help us keep the show going and also keep the website (!!!) up, once it's ready. thank you for all your support and reviews!

there is NOTHING seductive or valuable about ai and i resent the assertion that i have to feel otherwise to be a writer. this man is a HACK!

ideally, this person would specialise in paraphilias and/or sex therapy. non-negotiable is being kink-friendly and pro sex-work (because it will come up). i'm imagining we'll talk about things like arcane, oitnb, a couple of books in a mad/bad science context, etc.

i actually logged on to ask if there are any (licensed) therapists/psychologists who would be interested in participating in a podcast episode to talk about power imbalances in romance fiction — specifically relationships where one partner is imprisoned and the other is in a position of power.

i love modern medicine and chemicals so much. i thank g-d for methimazole and propranolol every day. i do, however, sometimes wish i could get the occasional 24-hour period to be hormonally unbalanced and borderline insane. just a taste.

are you not contributing to the environmental destruction by playing this, ultimately meaningless, game where you already know the outcome?

what better way to end a book tour than by talking about ourselves and the book on a podcast? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

everyone read chantal jaquet's transclasses

at the risk of being accused of "gatekeeping" i will not be explaining how i did this because a) i think a little hard work and exploration is good for the brain and b) i do not want to be sued by the vatican for copyright infringement

winchester mystery library for my own personal gratification. there no rhyme or reason — only shelves with blank spines. i don't know what i get until i open the book. and it's all kindle unlimited books.

Hate Poem #2 People Who Write Better Than Me

is fran lebowitz coming out with a poetry book?

@adrierising.bsky.social and I have been dropping some bangers on #pagesandprejudice this season! In this episode, we talk about the evolution of reader inserts and what sets the modern Y/N apart from Mary Sue's of the past. open.spotify.com/episode/1H2x...

no you don't understand you have to vote for democrats because third party candidates can't win because everyone votes for either democrats or republicans because third party candidates don't get enough votes to win beca

is it...would it be ridiculous to have pope leo's encyclical printed and bound? (i don't care, i'm doing it anyway.)

why are white people, especially white americans, basically the only ethnic group to punish each otherfor poverty or treat it like a moral failing. maybe that's why so many of them behave in opposition to their own class interests. because they think class doesn't exist for whites — only money?

if they halt international travel to boston, chicago, la, ny, and philly i give it 72 hours before mikie sherril, josh shapiro, gavin newsom, and kathy hochul form a tri-state, cross-country militia.

i hate liars lmao. i ordered a dishwasher from costco & it was delivered to the installer on the 20th. they swear up & down that they called me on the 18th (or the day before the dishwasher even shipped) to schedule the installation, but i never replied. never mind that no one called me on the 18th.

i don't work in entertainment, but i have planned large scale events, and things like this are usually announced ~3-6 months in advance, not 6 weeks in advance. the sheer logistical nightmare of this many musicians + their bands ("and many more") on a single stage alone...

proof that local news still matters (and still exists) in western pa -- the latrobe bulletin is the only outlet covering a pnc employee using his access to customer records to hack the snapchat accounts of teenaged girls, looking for nude photos

anyway, i got a matinee ticket for is god is and why TF is popcorn and a drink TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS

“I don’t recall any disputes,” Sutherland said. “But if there had been, we would have deferred to the author. It’s their character and their voice.” which, i think, takes all the bluster out of me. the authors want their books to sell. at 32, i am not the target audience for PLL. and that's fine.

europeans dying of preventable causes is a time honored tradition

whatever it takes to make them shut the hell up about something with an obvious solution

i don't like being tagged in, or sent, posts with graphic depictions of violence, blood, and gore. i don't want to see or read about it. that is unequivocally NOT the way to get me to share your GFM or donate to it. i am far more likely to block you for it.

is there a way to explain kars4kids and that demonic mascot without sounding like a raging antisemitic conspiracy theorist nut

no one knows the nato alphabet anymore and it makes the few phone calls i have to make each year more tedious than necessary

SHE'S ON GOODREADS NOW!!!

Fab article by @sapiotextual.bsky.social about @workinggirlspress.bsky.social book I HATE MY JOB: THOTS ON LABOR, SEX WORK, AND CAPITALISM. I DJ'd for the Pittsburgh book launch and got to discuss Betty Davis as a local foremother of erotic labor and how gender, performance, and survival overlap.

I’m in the process of reading this and every essay is a banger

"In Western Pennsylvania, you don’t need a degree in Marxist theory to understand exploitation; working-class analysis is passed down like a family heirloom." I wrote about sex work, class, Pittsburgh grit, and @adrierising.bsky.social's new anthology. www.pghcitypaper.com/columns/pitt...

Your eyes do not deceive you - it's a second order of books! Though it was only released on May 1st, I Hate My Job has sold almost 700 copies! THANK YOU so much for your support, and don't worry we've got 1,500 more copies ready to go out. Get yours today! www.workinggirlspress.com/store/p/mo78...

going back to catholicism so i can tell any future bosses that using ai is a violation of my religious beliefs according to the pope

who are your favourite goth girls in media? i'm making a list ~for reasons~

Please sign the petition- "Pennsylvania already has the tools to hold traffickers accountable. SB45 does not strengthen accountability for traffickers. It relocates all prostitution offenses into the human trafficking chapter & expands criminalization of survivors" docs.google.com/document/d/1...

what do you mean there are only 24 episodes of harlots it should be MORE

i think it's very unfortunate that we have to live in an country being run by chronically incurable losers with no redeeming qualities or personalities beyond internalising the phrase"look what i can do" as a personal mantra.

"too female to be feminists" maybe it's the propanolol and methimazole, but i have to laugh at telling 2 black sex workers to "confront oppression in [their] daily lives"

teaching myself python because squarespace is dumb. i imagine this is basically how every gay and sex worker learns.
