if you go to any protest action you should be wearing a mask and clothing that does not reveal your figure as the feds are filming you in 4K so they can run you through their data databases.

this coincidentally is why you don’t sign up to RSVP for an event under fascism

an agent on the roof of the broadview ice facility is filming the crowd of protesters below with a dslr.

a protester joking asked, “does it shoot 4k?” and the agent nodded his head yes.

two masked agents stand on the roof of the broadview ice facility. the agent on the left points a dslr at the crowd. the agent on the right looks on, while holding a gun that shoots pepper balls.

I am working very hard to let “what if my body is like this for life?” be a generative question rather than the thought terminating one it’s been for me up until now.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

Let's talk about weird art.

Weird art, gross art, sexual art, violent art, all has its place and belongs. And you really need to stop acting like the existence of uncomfortable themes equals harm. That kind of censorship, which IS what that is, only serves to silence and abuse people.

Is there a top shortage or have you internalized the idea that being the receptive partner makes you inherently incapable of harm and lets you off the hook for developing communication skills or basic care and regard for the other party

How do we live like the world is ending? Balance four contradictory ideas:

Act like we’re about to die.

Act like we might not die right away.

Act like we might have a chance to stop this.

Act like everything will be okay.

I regularly think about how Emma Goldman, after endless decades of struggle and deportation, got the chance for a brief few years to live in an anarchist society

James Stout @jamesstout.bsky.social · Jun 27

Happy birthday Emma! After her 66th birthday, Emma Goldman left France for the Spanish revolution. Even in the last decade of her life she travelled to the front lines to meet Durruti & to witness the people in arms. She was also the official representative of the CNT-FAI and generalitat in London!

AK Press @akpress.org · Jun 27

Happy birthday, Emma Goldman! On this day in 1869, the Lithuanian Jewish anarchist-feminist writer, philosopher and agitator was born. 🏴

SWer Resources & Support @swresourcesandsupport.com · Jun 23

⚠️ MAJOR UPDATES TO @fansly.com's POLICIES! #swresources #swsupport #fansly #censorship #creditcardcompanies

Here are the most notable changes:

NEW Policies:

AI-Generated Content - Users cannot directly interact with AI (like chatbots or image generators that respond to user prompts). Creators may still use AI tools themselves to create content, as long as users aren't directly engaging with the AI and all standard content/consent/documentation requirements are met.

Alcohol and Intoxicating Substances - In addition to intoxication and illegal drugs, any adult content featuring alcohol, cannabis/marijuana, or other intoxicating substances (regardless of local legality) is now prohibited due to consent requirements.

Social Media Account Sales - Selling access to Snapchat or other social media platforms is now prohibited if it violates their terms of service.

Policy Clarifications:

Anthropomorphic Content - Our payment processing partners classify some anthropomorphic content as simulated bestiality. As a general guideline, Kemonomimi (human-like characters with animal ears/tails) is permitted, but full fursonas, Kemono, and scalie content are prohibited in adult contexts.

Hypnosis/Mind Control - This prohibition includes all synonymous terms (mesmerize, mindfuck, mindcontrol, hypno) regardless of context.

Wrestling Content - Professional, studio-produced adult wrestling is permitted. Amateur or party wrestling content is prohibited as it may be interpreted as non-consensual activity. Even when consensual, content that simulates force, struggle, or non-consent violates our policies.

Public Spaces & Recording Locations - Sexual activity is prohibited in all public spaces. Nudity is prohibited in public spaces where it's not legally permitted. Both nudity and sexual activity are prohibited on third-party private property without owner permission or in any location visible to the public.

I don't know what to say about the supreme court ruling

except that when I see trans girls get to have a girlhood, I'm besides myself with joy

and that I meet so many trans people who were made homeless as children by bigoted parents

and that trans kids deserve medical care and social acceptance
