Sphere [he/him, they/them]

The article quotes a lady from a “sex worker support group” that turns out to be a SWERF organization:

L’Amicale du Nid firmly supports the belief that prostitution is intrinsically incompatible with human dignity and equality between men and women; the human body cannot be construed as an object or piece of merchandise. It refuses to liken it to a profession and wishes to build its action along consistent abolitionist lines, advocating for the ban of any form of sexual intercourse for payment

It goes on about non-penalisation of sex workers but last I checked, a total ban wasn’t what actual sex workers wanted.

I don’t know, this just might be a broken-clock kind of thing. Probably for the worst possible reasons, though, if I had to guess.

This piece was in my feed right near this thread, as it happens. Seems to be approaching the same issue from a different direction.

My initial instinct was to read it the first way, and a look into their posting history confirms this, I think.

the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: “theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron”

Wait, I thought .ml was part of the tankie triad

Cradle by Will Wight is both really good and a lot of fun to read, in my opinion. In a similar genre, Beware of Chicken by “Casualfarmer” is very enjoyable as well.

Also, a little darker, especially in setting, but somehow not a depressing story in spite of that, Naomi Novik’s Scholomance trilogy is also excellent.

Not familiar with this new terminology; I usually just call them “pigs” to avoid confusion, but I suppose calling cops “rats” does make sense. You don’t usually see mainstream British newspapers introducing new slang terms like that, but hey, stranger things have happened, right?
