Aaaaaaanyway this whole thing is a perfect example of how disabled and chronically ill and marginalized people are forced out of society and then if they make a tiny enclave together where they try and make space for each other the society that forced them out tells them they can’t have that either.

A story that contains these two points is coming from an EXTREMELY specific point of view - and not one that has empathy in any way.
“relaxing their signature policy in the face of what commenters consider an ongoing pandemic (Greenfield hasn’t reported any COVID cases in more than two months).”

The entire thing exists solely to paint marginalized people and those who mask as hysterical weirdos.
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for a national publication to be covering a teeny tiny local community scuffle.

Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

What a disgrace.
When fascists are taking over, "getting back to work" is what impeachment IS.
Oust them all; replace them with people who are not political cowards.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

This is different from Itch.io nuking NSFW content and Amazon suppressing the search of erotic books. But it’s just one more avenue that erotic writers used to have that is now closed. Wattpad is also cracking down. All those readers of spicy content are going to be looking! They still exist!

So they’re writing off a nearly billion dollar acquisition cost five years later. Not trying to spin off or resell the companies. Just shutting them down. These were moneymaking enterprises that put money in the pockets of a lot of spicy writers. Just gone. Not worth it anymore.

Two things are happening. One is that AI slop is taking over user-generated platforms. And as readers get less satisfied with what they find, they leave the silo. The other is that Kakao sees all the right wing US crap with both age verification and the anti-porn agenda and decide to get out now.

So less than 5 years ago, korean company Kakao bought the serial fiction site Radish for $440 million, Tapas for $510 million. Both were moneymaking sites where a fair number of romance and erotica writers made bank. But they shut down Radish less than a year ago, and now Tapas will close, too. Why?

One of the 'demands' is for Abdul El-Sayed to recognize that "Jewish sovereignty in Israel is nonnegotiable.".
In other words, they're asking him to endorse the permanent subjugation of Palestinians under second class citizenship at best and forever statelessness and mass murder at worst.
