Once again: don’t start private chats with me in reply to public posts! It’s intimidating, aggressive, demanding and rude. Like dragging a stranger aside at the pub and insisting they sit at your table and talk to you one on one. It’s not ok. A quick, private ‘you’ve got a typo here’ or ‘this link is broken’- all good. But starting private chats is entitled and demanding and I hate it. Stop. The ability to do this is absolutely the worst thing about Mastodon.
When states/countries enact laws banning porn, people are always tempted to come up with creative, edge-case solutions. “Couldn’t you just mix the porn in with other content so the definition of your site changes?” “Could you label it as ‘art’?” I get where you’re coming from but this is not the solution. Porn deserves to exist. Please stop telling adult creators to twist into new positions and jump through hoops: fight the laws. Unpack your shame and speak up: porn is not harmful.
I had a very lovely day yesterday and met tonnes of awesome people, so obviously now I am beating myself up for every tiny possible error in each interaction. I hate every atom of myself and wish I could erase myself and all my past actions. I know other people get this too, of course, but it feels like these emotions become more extreme with each year that passes. The solution can’t be to just not meet people. Maybe I need to do it loads more.
Today in therapy I got frustrated by the fact that I’ve used up nearly all the precious sessions and I’m still extremely useless and fucked up. My therapist immediately asked if I was disappointed in *him* so obviously now I have died of shame.
So... you're allowed to be disabled *right now* but if you happen to become so in the future then fuck you. This is fucking disgusting. Just absolutely no thought whatsoever to people's lives. People as things. Economic units, only consuming or producing, no room or support or compassion to be allowed to *live*. I fucking hate the Labour party.

"I knew I could lactate on command, but whether I could do it while standing chest bared in front of an audience, in quantities that would read, when I didn’t know how tired or hungry I was going to be at that moment, was less certain..."

James Frey’s New Cancelled-Guy Sex Novel Is as Bad as It Sounds
With a status-obsessed comeback book, the author of the fabricated memoir “A Million Little Pieces” attempts to rebrand.
Ofcom, the organisation responsible for policing the OSA (ensuring that my consensual, ethical audio porn has to be blocked in the UK), has decided that aggressive online misogyny isn’t that big a problem actually and we should all calm down. Off the back of a ‘study’ where they spoke to 38 men. Absolute fucking joke.
