NYC paramedic outed (correction: not fired) for having an OnlyFans account.
The concept of "less dead" in criminal justice
Porn actress Asia Carrera retired to Utah because no one looks at porn in Utah.
Speaking of Utah: the only thing better than the breathtaking canyon walls of Zion National Park were the cute Utah queers we encountered there. We see you and we love you.

Listen past the end credits for sounds of one of our dogs sleep- barking!

Getting a used toaster as wedding gift is just one of the many objectifying, dehumanizing virginity metaphors Faith was taught. But sure, let's follow that comparison to its conclusion. A used toaster? What if it's just the right toaster for you? What if it's amazing, and it sees you and treasures you for who you are, and it makes you laugh, and it shares your values and interests? Yes, then I wouldn't care if the toaster has a few crumbs in its tray from a previous owner.
