Not being porn won't protect you, so it's time to protect porn
A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

Why the heck isn't PrEP free? We could eliminate HIV if we wants to.
Trans women are already at a higher risk of HIV infection than almost any other group of people.
Just like Reagan, the Trump administration sees AIDS as a useful tool to eliminate queer and trans people.
The fight for trans women in prisons and those with HIV/AIDS has never been more important.

The longer we go without prosecuting people doing this crap, the more likely we are going to have to kill them to get them to stop.
If there is a way to fix this other than a new Terror, I do not at this stage know what it is. These people are whipping themselves up into a furious bloody frenzy to literally replicate the horrors of Nazism.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The people you should really be scared of on the Subway are the ones applying impeccable eye makeup on a moving train. They fear nothing and make sure you know it.
