As we prepare to dive into the Josh Pieters documentary on Only Fans star Lily Phillips, and the Back From the Borderline podcast analysis of the event, Todd talks Group Play and ethical concerns around age gap dynamics. As a Dom with more life experience, how do we best respond to doubt and discomfort from a younger partner?

Queer, BIPOC, Leftist Community MediaNativerse Studios Crowdfunding Campaign SummaryOut of necessity, Nativerse Studios is raising funds to grow our team and launch several community-based leftist media projects in the coming months.Introduction & Background.Continuing almost 10 years of Queer, BIPOC, Leftist, community education & conversations, what we aim to do in the first few months of 2025 is more important than ever. From the foundation of the Subspace Exploration Project and the educators, historians, and healthcare professionals we’ve met along the way, we will be launching Hard Left News, the BDSM 101 Project, and partnering with others to find secure, legal ways to host and distribute vital community history, health, communication, and safety resources.Over the years we have learned quite a lot about building community, preserving and sharing history, and the barriers capitalism creates to slow and prevent the dissemination of culture & community history. Those barriers that have always existed for some are now about to affect us all. We are preparing to Do what we can to remove those barriers and strengthen communities as best we can. All of this requires community to band together and support each other.Reach & ImpactNativerse Studios will continue to be an entirely grassroots operation. From websites to media hosting to how we get the word out, if we have to podcast in morse code, we will. Regardless of the level of success of this campaign our team will continue to amplify the voices of the marginalized for as long as we can.RisksPopular media platforms that we have taken for granted for so long, thinking that they were free (such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, & YouTube) no longer benefit the people in any measurable way. Despite the technological age we live in, to safely publish leftist, antifascist, anticapitalist content comes with significant risks. To help our team continue to do this important work is to help protect the rights & histories of communities that are in harm's way.Ways You can HelpIf building and protecting community means everything to you, as it does for us, consider donating to our campaign. If you can’t afford to donate, please share this with anyone that might be able to help. There is a storm coming. Help us equip communities with the information and confidence to weather that storm.News, Education, & Community Action Indie GoGo Campaign: https://igg.me/at/nativerseA Brief History of Nativerse Studios: https://youtu.be/7d8OUQrNxQwThe Nativerse Studios website: https://www.nativersestudios.com/The Subspace Exploration Project: https://www.subspaceexploration.com/Hard Left News: https://hardleftnews.com/
