Individual websites will not save us. Running from platform A to platform B will not work as payment processors and legislation will simply follow our trail
You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this.
Call your reps
RELEVANT AGAIN
The ICE detention center purchases appear to be money laundering:
This is the "let's find a Discord alternative" problem all over again... at the end of the day all the alternatives have to adhere to ID verification laws or paypros nonsense. I guess fanbox is an alternative but I'm honestly giving myself a day to figure this out for myself
These are some of the biggest SubscribeStar content changes to pay attention to. And yes, this is explicitly due to payment processors

The Substar TOS looks extremely similar to Patreon's now. Call your reps or we will lose everything
Tell them to stop the payment processor power grab, tell them to vote no on child online safety bills/ID verification. We need everyone
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

REPUBLICANS: Hey man can i look in your child's pants? Just for a second man is it cool if i inspect your child's genitals. Just a quick little look man it's totally cool i just need to make sure you're not doing crimes. Just a quick touch man-
Food: $100 per week
Rent: $1500 per month
Power: $150-300 per month depending how much the local "AI" data center uses
Pay: $7.25 per hour before taxes with only 32 hours a week scheduled so the boss doesn't have to pay for health insurance
Please explain to me how you budget that.
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
A friend of mine has a Limited Equity Coop, the kind where they take a huge cut on sale value to reduce speculation. He loves it. By poisoning the resale value it naturally reduces market interest and makes it so it’s only a good investment for real people that want to actually live there.
Please help me share the post below. I don’t have a huge following, but this nomination is a bit under the radar and deserves more attention. His committee vote is this Thursday.
My new Purity Litmus Test for any Democrat in politics is to at least talk like uhh this cato institute gentleman
It’s true my GP has, after 44 years taking estrogens and been prescribed them from this surgery for the last 4 years, has referred me back to the gender clinic ‘because they have no expertise in prescribing these hormones’ I was signed off from the gender clinic in 1990.
Can i have 500 for my car payment in case I need to live in my car in two weeks I Mean i need to pay my car payment anyway cause it’s past due but also …😝🚬🚬
Today's ban on NHS HRT for under 18s formalises a policy that has already been in place - Noone under 18 has received a new prescription for HRT since mid 2024 (I don't know of any since late 2023).
Of course this policy also raises the risk of similar action on private healthcare for under 18s.

There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England.
1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".
I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.
This video is lowballing it.
Most Americans can be fired from their job without cause, at any time, and our health care is tied to our employment.
This fact alone is enough to feel dread and panic every day.
If you agree with this please take action against KOSA with us, keep annoying your legislators. We must erode support.

This is an attack Gillick Competence, and without a doubt the beginnings of an assault on the supply of birth control to young people.
I was 17 when I started taking HRT. If you’re over 16, then by English law you can legally consent to your own healthcare.
I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.
if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!
This is also why all the insane tech CEO stuff about having a national dictator. And it’s why they have no semblance of a popular basis for any of these actions anymore. They don’t think they need popular support.
"lethal autonomy without human authorization"
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
you can't do shit for an incurious audience.
