Long COVID advocacy is incomplete without sex workers -- and anti-racism is a really important part of this equation, because "perfect victim" narratives are too often centred on white (and cisgender) people.

"Johnson says that this affinity for the sex “woman” arose out of the work that her mother did to help people live, to allow her, the young Johnson, and her siblings, et cetera, to live. And what we call “femininity” in a political sense is that legacy—that history of life-making. We have to understand this history in this way. We have to understand these movements that I’ve listed as the substance of feminism. Which is to say that the goal of something called “feminism” is to generalize these conditions as daily life, not to escape them: to make everybody collectively responsible for the kinds of provision that Johnson’s mother produced."—Emma Heaney

I don't use #LLM in my writing but you gotta know your enemy.

Things #ChatGPT will accept in prompts: Slavery, dub con, and, surprisingly, all types of incest.

Things ChatGPT WILL NOT accept: a character going to a sex worker to have sex.

Since ChatGPT is heavily censored, I wonder if this is the censorship or the general attitude of the majority of texts it consumed. Both seems likely.

Ben Goggin on twitter:
"Anti-porn bills have quietly been introduced in 8 states that would force phone makers to automatically enable filters that would censor nude images.

In Utah, a law like this already exists, but can only go into effect if 5 states pass similar laws."

The leap from puritanism to fascism is actually a very, very short step in the U.S. (see: prurient v artistic)

I've been raging for years (mostly on twitter) about this.

None of us are free when we are okay with some ~other~ people not being free.

Today it's "prurient" and "porn", tomorrow is, "non-traditionally feminine depictions of women", later it'll be "people get to choose to have sex/children/work".

Because once you open the door to the fascists, there's no stopping them where you want them to.

Remember Iran, once modern and free, now an oppressive theocracy. It happened FAST.

next they'll be sacking teachers for wearing 'inappropriate' clothing.
