truly from the bottom of my heart i hate the level of enshittification etsy has reached because it's still the best place to buy patterns for my hobby and every time i go scrolling through endless ai-generated bullshit to finally dig up a human-designed pattern i like, i'm hit with a deluge of 'popular!! 563 people are looking at this right now!! it's in 134632 baskets!! you must buy immediately!!!' it's a pdf file. it's a fucking pdf file. do you get off on trying to give people fomo over a fucking pdf file. fuck off. get diarrhea forever.

I love the timeless appeal of dragons across cultures. What if a lizard were really big and could fly. Crowd goes wild.

Visa and Mastercard may be getting a lot of calls about their adult content policies, but I just called in to PayPal and not only was there no wait, the customer service rep I got had never had one of these calls before (they were very nice about it.)

Don't overlook the online processors - even more than Visa and Mastercard they are the ones pressuring online retailers. PayPal is the one that's been pressuring Patreon over the last year or so.

I've had no luck reaching Stripe, all of the numbers people have dug up ring through as disconnected.

So I was a TA for a figure drawing class and this last semester for little baby freshman. Overall my section students were really sweet and responsive to feedback. But my professor told me something about another section on the last day that had me about to pass out from laughing.

See, this is the first time some of these folks have seen a nude model. Even for me, having seen naked people previously, I still had an, “oh! That’s a penis!” moment during my first session in person. (For covid reasons my first semester was models in swimwear over Teams). It’s just one of those things you get over though. Since you need to draw it genitalia just becomes skin, it’s not any different to render than a shoulder or a calf.

But apparently.

There’s a crop of new students that are so shy of the genitalia that they’re submitting full body figure drawings with a blank triangle where the junk should be.

I asked, “is it X male model? Cause he wears a Speedo sometimes to pose…”

But she said no. She said there’s one student who is SO shy she refuses to draw buttcracks. The professor was flummoxed. She’d write on homework “needs gluteal fold for clarity” but this student is just adamant.

The professor went on to say, “They should at least be making them like a Ken doll! Even Ken has a bulge, these students aren’t even capturing the form of a bulge!”

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.
