I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_...

This is also connected to that whole thing where all their fantasies of protecting their own *family* centers on enacting violence and not, like, vaccinating their kids and making sure they're prepared for a power outage etc. Even people they know, they only think of in terms of violence.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

The press practice of relying on the govt to set the narrative is routine enough in the US to normally escape notice, but in an insurrection it looks unmistakably absurd alongside citizen reporting. Running in clown shoes to the cops & the White House to uncritically report back whatever they say.

"Cave Johnson here. Update: The Lesbian Wrath project is postponed indefinitely. My condolences to the families of the deceased. Though let's be honest, they probably had it coming."

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?
“A screenshot of a news article from The Times website. The headline reads: ‘Children taking DIY cross-sex hormones before going to gender clinics.’ The subheadline states: ‘Hundreds of young trans people are buying puberty blockers, oestrogen and testosterone without prescription from websites and even recreational drug dealers.’ The page header includes navigation links, a log-in button, and a ‘Start trial’ button.”

there are some things money can't buy, for that, you can thank Master Card.®

For years, MasterCard has led the way in pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, we have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.
Chart shows Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The chart shows three lines; Prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. From 2019 through September 2025, the largest group is people with criminal convictions, with much further down people with pending charges. But starting in January, those without criminal records spikes dramatically. In July it crossed pending charges and in the latest data it jumps above criminal convictions.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

The trans panic is maddening, because trans people are expected to defend ourselves with logic science and any sign of emotion is a failure. And yet the anti-trans campaign is nothing but appeals to emotion unburdened by facts, precedent, or empathy.

ANTI-CENSORSHIP CHEAT SHEET

WHY?
Visa, Mastercard, Stripe & Paypal have been censoring free speech & legal business online for TOO LONG. Most recent targets are Steam & Itch.io, but they have also pressured websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans & MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content their users can host & sell.
If we as consumers & creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the org that lobbied to have Steam & Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa & MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyfans to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging phone lines for an extended period, over a month at least, will almost guarantee that these companies will have to pay attention to the backlash.

this list is not exhaustive, but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

VISA:
(US + Can): +1 800-847-2911
US selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

MASTERCARD:
(US): +1 800-307-7309
US selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
(Outside US): 1-636-722-7111

STRIPE:
(HQ): +1 888 963-8955
(France): +33 805-11-19-67
Email: complaints@stripe.com

PAYPAL:
(US): +1 888 221-1161
(outside US): 1-402-935-2050
Customer Service: +1 877-569-1116

TRY TO HIT ALL 4 TARGETS PER DAY
This is only going to have an effect if as many people possible call EVERY DAY for as long as possible.

THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A RACE.
If you can, it is also a good idea to try to spread the word to organizations & groups that can either actively combat these huge companies legally, or can spread news, in a manner supportive of this movement, more effectively than your average person

examples of organizations:
ACLU
Canadian Civil Liberties Association local legislators & government representatives

examples of spreading the news:
local newspapers
special interest publications
video game streamers

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.
