Banks, the biggest arbiter of what can be distributed online, are steadily restricting the types of speech — art, entertainment, resources — permitted. A payment provider dropped FlowFo for allowing sex-related content, pushing them out of business. Financial discrimination is censorship.

Seeing an easy PR win, Neon is cashing in by announcing it’s making its own SCP movie. But unlike A24, it proactively reached out to the SCP Foundation Wiki team and has pledged to release it under the Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license.

You can't, really. If you put a firm foot down and tell someone they need to take care of themselves before they can help a cause right now, they will very often decide you are the most evil person on the planet. Unfortunately common in local orgs. I'm glad people want to help but you know how it is

I realize that talking about how you shut some shit down might feel like gratuitous bragging, but it really helps both normalize intervention and teach your peers how to go about it.

The "Sensation" peace lily has been putting out new flowers for 3 months now since I got it. They must have fucking overdosed this thing on gibberellic acid because I don't think I am making it THAT happy OR sad. I just cut back a greening flower. Come on I bought it for the foliage.

Adult content creators are seen as real people by fans, rebutting years of anti-porn claims that sex work strips creators of humanity. In fact, OnlyFans creators were percieved as having more self-control, free will and capacity for independent thinking than other women.

if you want to read a lucid, complex ethical or political or philosophical argument, or you want a grounded understanding of some aspect of real world science/history, or you want to read someone really digging into consent & morality vis a vis BDSM culture, you probably don't want to read fiction!

one of the worst and most terrifying pieces of information that ive learned is that in order to make friends you kind of have to be annoying to people. and if they like it thenn you can be friends. friendship is just when you both like when the other one is annoying

The whole point of these places talking about “responsible gaming“ is just to create the idea that there’s a responsible way to have an app on your phone that tricks you out of money, so people feel like they’re at fault for losing money when they use the app instead of like they are being tricked

Yeah, I saw ads for this only very late. And when I did, I was also unclear what age group it was for. The characters were going to college and so I thought maybe it was for older teens but then there was some more little kid humor in the ad and it left me confused.
