The fact that the studios are digging in on this specific point shows exactly why GenML shit is being pushed so hard: It's to put people out of work, period. So yeah fuck them.

I'm into a wide variety of popular culture stuff in lots of different media forms, some of which I write about academically. I reshare stuff that amuses me, post random thoughts or resources, and generally hang out.

Hope your body is getting the nutrients it needs to stay healthy, especially since it is growing and changing so much every day
this is french joke that i was COMPELLED to make because it just works TOO WELL but i will explain it:
miche means loaf, as in a loaf of bread, but (in plural form only) is also slang for boobs
("tema" is verlan for "mate" which is slang for "look at". not part of the pun, it just fitted well. I basically said "check out Senshi's loaves" but in french there's a double-entendre)
SESTA/FOSTA make it very difficult for a payment processor to be queer-friendly. they genuinely do create a very high barrier of legal liability for payment processors that do not proactively enforce this institutionalized hatred on our community
if somebody is a lawyer and has the funds to hire an accountant and wants to start a payment processor that tries to hold space for queer people as long as possible, please do, just understand that it's going to be an uphill battle with many very painful retreats, if it's viable at all. the regulatory requirements for becoming a payment processor are arduous, by design, that's always been true. we would never, ever want to demotivate someone who understands that and wishes to fight that fight
another possible point of advocacy is to change the fucking law. like yes, it won't get through the US Congress any time soon, that's true, but there is still reason to push, if only to slow things down
this is a war, for survival. we need to continue fighting on all fronts. good luck all <3
