This is great! It's kind of like a view into a world where nudity is normal.

It's funny that Aethy gets told we host "illegal shit" all the time when I can go into a bookstore and find a BL manga about high school boys fucking each other and the faculty 🤔
i went to big bookstore chain yesterday and they had killing/stalking shrink wrapped on the shelf
I liked that she is wearing a panty, but the ropes have pulled it aside enough to expose the kitty.
Did this scene also involve sex before or after the shot?

I’m trying to find out my relation with ethics. I’ve always been a lone reasoner. But perhaps recently I’ve been going too far in the other direction and focusing solely on ethical papers. As an autistic this sort of thought binary-ism is an ongoing issue.
This also relates to me being Completely Silent On Mastodon vs Typing Out My Every Thought. You can see which phase I’m in right now.

If one is considering the ethical implications of implementing, or not implementing #fedisearch (e.g. balancing harms of data scraping versus the benefits of an opt-out search engine), this paper might be relevant. I am not taking any sides here!

> While some people can display tolerance toward cultural, religious or sexual minorities, they may at the same time display intolerance toward ideological or viewpoint diversity ... In weighing different values, people can come to prioritize justice and protection from harm (“speech is violence”) over the values of liberty and freedom of expression ...

thanks! Looks like maximizing shareholder value is no longer the sole concern these days, per Wikipedia but it's maddeningly light on citations

when it's cold outside, you can still enjoy being naked indoors, playing games like pool with friends.

The tragedy here is that I would "flip burgers" for free. I love cooking! I'd be like a machine in a post-revolution community kitchen! Under capitalism, you either cook in the scraps of time left after a full work day, or you work as a cook, pulling insane hours under horrific conditions for less than a living wage. For this reason, my love of cooking only benefits a small number of people. Ironically, #capitalism disincentivizes important labor. #anarchism #communism

I think neither the money nor the "Flipping Burgers" is a problem in itself, its that the balance how much money is paid for how much the work drains your energy is often far from balance

Warning for furries: A production company is sending a deceptive casting call for a film that appears to be a furry documentary but is actually a hateful smear film.
It's the same deceptive tactic Matt Walsh used to trick trans people into appearing in "What is a Woman". They want to do the same for furries.
Please be careful and warn others!

What people need to do is make their own documentary and spread it online. We don't need these conservative reporters smearing us with their bogoted bullshit.

kolektiva.social allows 10000.... if you wanna move. I agree with you... 500 is too short. That's why I moved.
haha I mean 10000 is a little excessive, though more is better!
the hard part is how awful mastodon searching is
since I can only find stuff that an existing user on there has written or boosted about, almost all the instances barely show any results to help me find sex workers and other fellow outcast creators
it also makes it very hard for anyone else to find ME
I asked the mod of the mastodon.lol instance if they would consider expanding the 500 character limit, they suggested i run a poll about it so i did and the results overwhelmingly went for more than 500, but i guess they just decided to ignore the results because it's been weeks and they still havent changed it
so, sorry not sorry, I'm done with mastodon.lol 🙃

I am sorry you did not find your tribe here on Mastodon. It takes a while until the account can reach further but it also needs to happen on an instance one can trust. Maybe check back once in a while?
My instance is anarchist. Maybe it appeals to you. They seem very cool. But in any case, if you leave Mastodon, I wish you a good journey to another social network. There are quite many out there. Each one acts as if they are the only 😉
@kripfeifer
Oh I'm not leaving mastodon, I've been on eldritch Cafe for over a year. it's just that EC is this random progressive French server that doesn't really have results for searches for sex workers, content creators, etc. mastodon.lol has more results, but refuses to change the 500 character limit.

It's great you are staying! Maybe the community of sex workers grows with time. I loved to follow Eutherinoeum, but one day she stopped posting. I miss her much, she was one of my first Twitter mutuals.

I'm hoping we can get more tweeps to come over, and actually stick around, even though there's no algorithm to grow their popularity. it's not the best time investment if you're a content creator, but it's so much less toxic and stressful. (except when dealing with toxic tweeps... good thing the true mastodon way is to just block assholes!)

I looked at your instance... the rules are quite intimidating 😅 I complain a lot about rightwing politics, and it sounds like I might easily violate one of the rules.

Are we ready to talk about how police dressing in riot gear and acting, well, like cops, makes crowds more likely to riot? No? OK then. Proceed.

@oldrawgabbit,The US is full of similar projects that may never fulfill their promises, either, such as the central California high-speed rail project, or one promised from Los Angeles to Las Vegas(which won't actually go anywhere near Los Angeles), to say nothing of all the Hyperloop fever dreams.

some good news, though inconclusive. it still blows my mind how many people refer to themselves as "fully vaccinated" when they've had NONE of the boosters. are they stupid or just trying to avoid judgement?
