>unless the Israeli govt takes substantive steps to end the "appalling situation"

why conditionally?



In addition to payment processing, our refusal to prohibit legal adult content makes it incredibly difficult for us to get certain types of insurance. (Like, more than one carrier has literally told us “we can’t write insurance for somebody falling and hurting themselves in your office because you won’t prohibit adult content on your servers.” Oh, fuck off!)


The fuck? That's utterly insane.

don't leave out the best part!

Also, the Fair Access to Banking Act (FABA) is currently in the US Senate and would prohibit banks and payment processors from putting this type of pressure on businesses engaged in legal activity. It was introduced and co-sponsored by 43 Republican Senators big mad about alleged bias against conservative businesses. If you’re in the US, please encourage your elected representatives to support it, if not because it would really help this sort of thing then because irony is an important part of a good, nutritious breakfast.


EDIT: see replies below; apparently it specifically excludes "adult" stuff :c

@amberage I don't have a link but I've seen some posts on Tumblr exaining why this isn't a good bill to support. It has language to leave out porn and adult creators and artists and has been drafted and supported by various gun organizations, it's basically geared towards not allowing payment processors to avoid paying for various types of firearms & firearms supplies.

On the Calculation of Volume, 2. By Solvej Balle, translated by Barbara Haveland.

As your story progresses, you are still stuck repeating the 18th of November, endlessly, and now more than a year later, you are working to find a rhythm to the (non) seasons as they pass, and find a place in (non) time as an increasingly shadowy life continues around you…or are you the shadow?

Most of this morning, I'll be at Fisher Building for orthotics fittings on a new left night brace being made & to get some minor repairs on one of my long leg braces.
I'll be talking to my orthotist about the need to return to getting heel lifts built onto my right boots because I am pretty sure that my leg length differential(from initial polio illness/paralysis) has increased over the years. It would also help my back hurt less & allow me to walk for longer periods, by getting this leg length differential dealt with.
