DW has actually robust servers. It’s the one that’s still up and still has a community.
Deceased Journalfen, home of Fandom_Wank, is the one with the famous “the servers are robust” thing. There were lots of LJ clones, including Deadjournal.
sex workers fought in the street for you to be able to celebrate pride. sex workers rights should be an essential part of the pride celebration. I’m dead the fuck serious.
I love that so many people have mentioned Marsha P. Johnson in the tags, or made comments about black trans sex workers bc I know that includes Sylvia Rivera, but this post isn’t just about them. This post is also about the kids who worked the streets of Greenwich Village who fought until the wee hours of morning on the first night of the stonewall uprising, even though THEY WEREN’T THE ONES THAT THE POLICE WERE TARGETTING THAT NIGHT. this is about those of us who have been fighting new censorship laws tooth and nail, the same laws that are now being used against trans and queer kids across the country and around the world. This is about the sex workers who tirelessly educated the public about safe sex methods during the AIDS crisis, when the government wouldn’t even acknowledge that it is a sexually transmitted disease. Sex workers have fought for liberation from the very beginning and have CONTINUED to fight. we don’t get to forget that our lives are considered “deviant”. we are faced with that reality every single day, but many of us keep fighting for all “deviants” to be free to love, fuck, and live.
Every deviancy law that has ever been closed has been closed by a dog pile of sex workers tirelessly working to do so. Men, women, enbies, old sex workers, eighteen year olds who are homeless and angry, abled, disabled, black, white, latine, every race or ethnicity you can think of, but they all dogpile together on shitty laws and shitty authority figures and FIGHT for you. No cops at pride, keep the sex workers: cuz family friendly means you take care of the family that takes care of you, not sterilizing a protest for marketability.
“family friendly means you take care of the family that takes care of you, not sterilizing a protest for marketability.”
🤔 How does your F/O feel about their acts of villainy? Do they enjoy them? Are they a necessary evil? Or do they just not care?
Otto, at first, became a criminal out of what he saw as necessity, when he was pushed out of the scientific community by a lack of funding. Over the years he’s grown to enjoy ‘getting back’ at the society he’s always felt maligned and misunderstood him, but he always thinks of himself as working for the greater good. Sometimes that greater good allows him to steal and break the bones of people he doesn’t like– so much the better.
Norman, of course has two different perspectives. When he’s in the grip of a Goblin mania, his crimes and villainy are a thrilling joy. And when he comes down from that mania he’s horrified and disgusted by what he’s done.
💕 When you (or your S/I) and your F/O first meet, how do you feel about your F/O’s villainy? Do you support them? Oppose them? Or something else?
🌺😈 I am nothing if not a classic enabler. For both daddy Norman, and for Otto. I’m honestly probably way less morally conflicted than Norman about all of it, for me, villainy is fun and exciting. I don’t feel like there’s anything we owe ‘the law’; why not have fun?
😼🔪… I think we’re all enablers. ♦️🌺 and I were going to answer this question too, but I think Harry covered it!
