The Unrepentent Leftist ☭

Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.

Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day and I would like to remind everyone …

It’s Rights not Rescue.
It’s Decriminalization not Legalization.
SESTA/FOSTA bad
Nordic Model bad
Age Verification laws bad

*tip your favorite sex worker today and let them know how much you care 💙

On the list of things that I’m scared of…is not Iran.

We got you!

Same. Well, instead of vomiting I’m just considering quitting everything and becoming a heroin addict.

And became, I believe, the first president to bomb 10 countries in one year and I’m pretty sure that can be expanded to include all people, not just presidents.

Allied with the people who have more dirt on the world’s elite, including the orange shitgibbon, than anybody else. 🤔

Cutie!

Oh, that’s easy. The latter, in a heartbeat!

I have no words!

Haven’t seen either. I read The Dirk Gently books, but it was 30-odd years ago!

I desperately want to get out of this country!

Auto ship can be both boon and bane for those of us with #ADHD, both involving memory.

On the one hand, it’s an item we don’t have to remember to pay or order. OTOH, that means we might end up with three air filters that we didn’t yet need and an unexpected $75 expense. 😡😢🤷🏽‍♂️

Effectively, yeah. 😢😡

This. By the end of the second book, it had moved past “average” misogyny and crossed over into full-on hatred of women.

[On a related note, the fact we live in a world where a phrase like “average misogyny” actually exists, is horrific.]

For me, as the trilogy went on, the amount of violence being perpetrated on the female characters became excessive. I started to get the feeling that Grossman didn’t care for women, very much.

I enjoyed the first book and they could’ve been great… if they were so…rapey. 😡🤮

My daydream includes the best features of existing platforms, as well as a private “back of house” social area, only for creators, etc.

Alas, this is a “pie in the sky idea” that hasn’t gone past the “I wish there was such a thing” stage.

Sure, but MV is hardly a paragon of cooperative sex work.

And I should’ve been more detailed about what I meant. I’m imagining a site set up as a co-op to be designed, owned and operated by the creators on the site, with profit-sharing and everything else that goes along with that.

Yeah, I know. I’m not excusing their behavior, simply adding to the list of people need to be taken to the woodshed.

As for being in the public eye, clearly that doesn’t mean they don’t need handlers.

Dammit!

FWIW, one of my two biggest dreams is to find some way to start a content platform that is majority owned and developed by sw’ers. If only I could find an open-minded millionaire….

One of the rare adaptations that’s better than the books!

To be honest, I’m surprised the team didn’t have media training and an on site PR team. And if they did, they should be fired.

Copy.

Also, I forgot that you already had one!

Well, since Hidden is new, maybe they’ll take feature requests like yours into account…and perhaps those of us that think this is a great idea will all sign up for an account and make the same request!

“People?” Really? 😉 I mean, I like you, but most people….
