     @FemaleIsNotAFeeling I remember this one from about 2020/2021. It interested me then as it does now.
     This isn't just a photo of something that happened. This is a photoshoot. It took time to set up, design, create. Money changed hands because very few people work for free. Everything about it is both true and untrue which indicates a semantic and semiotic sleight of hand. Criticism can be dismissed by leaning into the *truth* while the lie can ride on its coattails. The element of natural disgust can be thrown in by blathering about *destigmatising* narratives and using shame to silence criticism.
     It's very clever. I wonder who's idea it was.

     @RadicalCartoons @KeepTakingTheSoma @FemaleIsNotAFeeling I think I had some sort of resistance to Medium because they took down a whole lot of women's work....

     @Sherri_Ingrey @KeepTakingTheSoma @FemaleIsNotAFeeling I agree, I only rarely see something on there because I get a notification. Substack is the only true free speech platform, apart from here!

     @Sherri_Ingrey @KeepTakingTheSoma @FemaleIsNotAFeeling It's not a paywall, you can sign in to Medium without paying anything, just like Substack.
