Our world is certainly changing fast. How are y'all doing? (And who's still around here?) I am actively considering a hiatus or even retirement, given the changing risk factors and the increased effort it seems it would take for me to maintain a credible presence, and given that things are likely to change further.  

The uncertainty seems especially high for trans providers, even more so than in the general hobbyist sphere.

My review just got approved.  I certainly would of not gave the review if I would of known this was going to shut down!  We sure need to get rid of that Senator Claire McCaskill, A.K.A. Miss McCashcow.  I'd say that the 99.99% of us are not involved in abusing children or women, AKA sex / human trafficking.  There is laws against that stuff ready!  We need to let the government know, not to puish the 99.99% for what the 0.01 may be doing.  And to only go after those who are involved with the illegal trafficking

I think the only reason I see this website working, is because I am outside of America.  I do know a sweet lady that is leaving America, so she can keep making a living!  I's not a political party problem, because it was a mixed vote.  And I agree that it would of been worse under old lady Clinton as president.  We got to vote out the ones that push this anti-lady stuff.  And the top dog on this is Miss Senator McCaskill, A.K.A. Miss McCashcow!  To do that before the ladies are really hurt and before websites like TER are completely shut down.  BackPage and others have alread been shut down, and not just in America.

Things have defiantly not gotten any easier, but I’m going to be damned if someone is going to shove me out of something I love doing. If anything, this has just made me more resolved in doing whatever is necessary.

I’m currently collecting up a lot of necessary info so I can expat to Australia and just say fuck the US for good. In order to do that, as a person seeking asylum, you have to have ducks in a row for a persuasive case on why returning to the US would be dangerous.

I may be disappearing here, but there’s not a chance anyone is ever going to make me disappear until I’m damn well ready too.

Illegitimi non carborundum 🖕🏼✊🏼

Exactly! As my grandmother used to say, "That boy's so stubborn, you'd have to hit him upside the head with a 2x4 just to get his attention!"

Sorry to see you giving up on the USA, River -- things will change for the better in the long run, but I understand your frustration.

And we NEVER let the bastards wear us down!

Still queer!

Although I'm also considering a hiatus and possibly rebranding slightly.

Still here,  

...and very blessed... i have found that since "the great shutdown" (what a f***ing hypocritcal politically ass-backwards joke of a mess), it seems a little easier to be a more valuable commodity,  and my inquiry traffic has generally increased via the handful of sites i still post with..... apparently combined with a solid trace/presence i created here in my region,  for being here for so many years (the upside)....  

....the downside of course being a lot more first-timer (which i have always welcomed if they screen as polite, mature, and certain of what they want), but also a lot higher number of overall sketchy types of inquiry as well.... but, even that doesn't matter so much - i screen diligently and often, and diligently and often, etc etc etc.... and as River put it so perfectly....

"To goddamn stubborn to give up..."
and... "Things have defiantly not gotten any easier, but I’m going to be damned if someone is going to shove me out of something I love doing. If anything, this has just made me more resolved in doing whatever is necessary. "

I could not have said it any better....

 
Safe Travels to everyone, and just keep a rolling',  however you can or must,

Best always,
