every time they try to rename hot girl summer i get so annoyed, you can decide what your hot girl summer is without acting like demure crafty deer perv summer is somehow revolutionary new concept

with local censorship getting worse and worse i've gotten into the habit of buying physical porn whenever i come across it secondhand. i'm now $5 poorer and the proud owner of the bare wench project (2000) by way of local thrift bookstore.

i kinda want this to be a joke post but at the same time i'm genuinely scared of the increase in censorship at the local level. the reason i feel the need to pick up some of this stuff when i see it in the wild is because cultural christianity and conservatism impact everything so much here to the point that, most of the time, any art that could be considered even remotely scandalous is at risk of being thrown away / destroyed for its perceived obscenity. i keep thinking about all the stuff that's gonna be lost.

one of my friends lives in a big city nearby and would frequent the only openly queer bookstore there. she just stopped in last week and they told her that they're having to move to an online-only model because they kept getting threats of violence at their current location. they started looking for a new location and applied to at least three different spots across the city, and were explicitly denied the ability to rent any of them because of the books they carry. and this is a big city with a vibrant queer scene, with queer bars and queer nightlife and events and so many queer people out in the streets as citizens of this place every single day.
