Maybe women would rather encounter a bear than a man because bears don't get all butthurt about hypothetical situations and then endlessly pester them to mansplain why women are wrong about their experience and are actually "reverse sexists" for taking common-sense safety precautions.

Me in a tiktok video: Domestic labor is more than just cooking and cleaning. It's making appointments, running errands like going to the bank and grocery shopping, paying bills, staying home with the kids when they're sick, etc.

Men in the comments: HAY I COOK AND CLEAN TOO!!11!1! 😡

Whoosh.

It's not that I'm only interested in interviewing #kinkEducator s, #sexWorker s, nude #photographer s, nudist/naturists, etc, it's that "mainstream" creators don't seem to be keen on being associated with "adult-only" content that focuses on #activism for the crazy radical notion that #gender based #censorship is BS and either ALL nipples should be banned from mainstream social media and public, or NO nipples 😑

This is a bit weird maybe, but I'm looking for anyone who might be interested in having a video chat with my dad, just so he has a chance to talk to someone besides just me and the rest of the family. He's disabled and agoraphobic so he rarely leaves the house, but his eyesight is bad and technology easily confuses him so texting and social media aren't really an option either. He's really into history (he's a Jeopardy whiz) but is happy talking about mostly anything (just not math, lol). Basically whoever is interested, we can find a day and time that works for you and I can stick my dad in front of a webcam on that day. Anyone interested in possibly being my disabled, elderly dad's online friend? (I mean that in literally the most innocuous way possible)

I follow a lot of #sexWorkers on the fediverse not because I want to look at porn but because I want to support y'all. #sexWork is work ✊

Just a lil reminder that the peertube instance where I host my "patriarchy-unfriendly" (uncensored) nonsexually-topless videos that you see embedded on my website toplesstopics.org is run by a small group of regular people, NOT any kind of ad-fed corporation, and is dependent on donations to stay hosted. If you don't want to lose access to all my "patriarchy unfriendly" videos, please consider donating as little as about $6 a month so they can stay funded through the rest of the year :) https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

For all the money they rake in with massive for-profit premiums, kaiser permanente sure seems to have too many patients and not enough doctors. it shouldn't take my frail, elderly dad THREE MONTHS to see his pcp.

Made a ten-second #meme about the difficulties I have being a #freeTheNipple / #toplessEquality #activist #contentCreator who doesn't provide #sexWork content and gets pissed off when men ignore my whole mission for "highlighting the insane hypocrisy and #sexism of #gender based #censorship" by sexually harassing me in comments and DMs.

*please note that this is a joke, not ALL my Patreon donors and/or the people who purchase my nonsexual nude artistic photography prints sexually harass me, just that most of them certainly seem to be 😏

If you'd like to be a NON-harasser supporter who wants to help me pay for video hosting, editing software subscriptions, etc, my Patreon is https://www.patreon.com/toplesstopics and you can purchase artistic nude photography prints at https://toplesstopics.gumroad.com :D

Comment left on a news post about the new US house speaker Mike Johnson (how is this a real name??) trying multiple times to outlaw "sodomy." I lolled but it's true.

we bought ONE couch from big lots a week ago, and we had to sign up for their email to get a discount when we bought it. Good job, idiots--this is how you prompt someone to unsubscribe.

If it takes saying "men are xyz" instead of "this particular man who harmed me in this particular situation is xyz" to get other men to pay fxxing attention - - even if only to squeal "nOt AlL mEn!!1!!" ( #notallmen ) at me--then I'm just gonna keep saying it.

new #livestream schedule rolling out! Starting next week (November 6, 2023) I'm cutting my 4-days-a-week m/t/th/f livestream schedule down to Tuesdays and Fridays only, but with a higher chance of extending the length of each stream (I will try to start as early as 11 and usually run to 2:30 or later). I'm calling the official time 12-2, but you can always follow me on social media ( https://www.toplesstopics.org/contact ) to find out if I start a stream early!

While streaming 4 times a week has been fun, it's been impeding my ability to get more tasks completed, like editing videos and trying to make the website look less ugly. I just get so dang distracted talking to y'all 😅 I'm still very active on social media though--I read and usually respond to every comment on a post, and I'm in our Discord chatroom daily ( visit toptopicstv.org/chat ). As for VODs, you can already see the "safe for patriarchy" VODs directly on my #Twitch page - twitch.tv/cerigotgame while I'm slowly but surely uploading VODs of my "not safe for patriarchy" livestreams to my #Peertube page at videos.trom.tf/c/toplesstopics/videos (unfortunately I have to re-encode each stream to a smaller file size before I can upload it to TROM, so it takes me longer)

I'm still keeping with my goal of "establish an income of at least $1000/mo by the end of 2023, otherwise I'll essentially have to quit making regular content and get a 'real' job instead" so if you want to see me continue to make content for the foreseeable future, please consider becoming a Patreon donor: patreon.com/toplesstopics I also have artistic nude photography prints available for purchase at toplesstopics.gumroad.com and if you'd like to make a one-time donation, I have links to a few options like Paypal and CashApp listed here: toptopicstv.org/donate . As it is right now, I'm lucky to make $250/month, and that's for 20-40+ hours PER WEEK scripting, filming, editing, uploading, and promoting videos, livestreaming, and all the other back-end stuff, not to mention having to pay for the video hosting and software subscriptions, etc, that are required for me to be able to create my content, so the goal is a long way off yet 😅 But maybe with this pared-down livestream schedule, I can "put my nose to the grindstone" more and put out enough higher quality new content to make that goal achievable!

See you tomorrow for my last Thursday livestream at twitch.tv/cerigotgame, this Friday at joystick.tv/u/toplesstopics and from then on, Tuesdays and Fridays using the schedule above!

UPDATE: Tu/Fr NSFW Joystick livestreams will be sub- or donor-only!

Announcement- After much consternation, I've decided to make my Tu/F NSFW Joystick livestreams (mostly) subscriber- or Patreon donor-only. The first half hour (12-12:30) will be SFW and free, then I'll start sub-only mode, where I'll show my screen as I edit video, draw artwork with female nipples and/or nudity in it, etc. If you're a Patreon donor, make sure you use your Patreon benefit to get the @Patreon role assigned to you, otherwise you can subscribe on Joystick for a mere $9 a month, and gain access to all my sub-only livestreams.

As for VODs of streams after they've finished recording, I'm still working on a process to streamline this, since the recorded files are generally 15+ Gb big and TROM only lets me upload 5gb per day. I have a stopgap method set up where I transcode the file to a smaller size with minimal loss of quality, then upload that version to TROM, but it's tedious and time-consuming so it takes me a few days to get each stream up. Once a file is up, you can view it on my TROM page directly at https://videos.trom.tf/c/toplesstopics/videos , and/or look for announcements here and on social media when a new VOD finishes uploading. Follow all my socials here to stay up-to-date on any new content: https://www.toplesstopics.org/contact

Any actual videos (vlogs, rants, interviews, etc) will still be free on TROM once I finish editing and uploading them, and SFW (so, blood and guts fine, just no female nipples) M/Th livestreams at https://www.twitch.tv/cerigotgame and https://www.youtube.com/@toplesstopics will also remain free. It's just the Joystick livestreams, while they're live, that will be sub only. ;)

Morally, I don't love charging access to see any of my NSFW content, as the whole point of Topless Topics is to normalize female nipples in a nonsexual context, so that maybe someday we can have the same rights to go online and in public just as "male nipples" have long enjoyed. However, the reality is that creating and maintaining regular content takes money (as well as a lot of time), and since I'm banned from monetization (when not banned outright) and sponsors won't return my email inquiries, I'm pretty short on methods to fundraise to pay for things like video hosting, editing software subscriptions, etc.

So if you'd like to support Topless Topics AND have access to sub-only content, you can sub directly through Joystick at https://www.joystick.tv/u/toplesstopics or become a Patreon donor at https://www.patreon.com/toplesstopics , both for $9 monthly. Other methods of supporting Topless Topics financially are to donate one-time by any of the methods listed at https://www.toplesstopics.org/donate or by purchasing artistic nude digital photoprints at https://toplesstopics.gumroad.com . The $9 Patreon donor tier also includes one digital photoprint of your choice every month.

Thanks as always for your kind words and support--maybe someday I can impress an (ethical) sponsor to give me the time of day, and use that to pay for everything, but in the meantime I'm going to try out paid NSFW livestreams, at least sigh Final note, even though the streams are "NSFW" (as in, containing female nipples, regardless of context), I still won't be doing anything explicitly sexual--while I'm in full support of sex workers, I am not a sex worker myself, and never will be. If that's the kind of content you're looking for, I'm sure a quick web search will help you find the results you want. Though I hate having to play by capitalism's rules just to remain visible, my goal here really is to expose and maybe someday change the absurdity of censorship based on "what gender you look like"!

Last chance if you're a small #creator and you want your content in a "small #creators shout-out" at the end of my new #toplessTopics New Years Resolutions #vlog (hopefully) coming out this week! If you want to be included, please reply with links to your various social media accounts and website, links to your best/most valuable work, and a brief (10~20 words) summary of what kind of work you do (book author, artist, travel vlogger, video essayist, etc...) and I'll check you out 😀

toplesstopics, 7 months ago to Sexism

me: it's absurd that censorship of toplessness is applied only if you "look female," while those who "look male" are allowed to go topless anywhere they like without consequence. Either ban ALL #nipples or NO nipples.

Cis male #nudist / #naturist: yeah full body #nudity (including genitals) should be allowed in public and online

every FUCKING time.

Picked up a new game for sale at $10 on #nintendo switch... #EnderLilies: Quietus of the Knights. I don't know anything about it but it's described as a #metroidvania with gorgeous #pixelArt (this photo of my switch screen with my phone doesn't do it justice) so I figured it was worth a try! At least until whenever Hades 2 finally comes out 🙏

I keep forgetting to look into getting registered as my dad's #caretaker. Anyone have experience with that? He can't drive, he can barely walk and is /3rds blind, I think he should qualify as needing a caretaker 😅

toplesstopics, 5 months ago to random

A man can have bigger breasts than I do but he'll still be allowed to go topless anywhere online or outside while I cannot, as long as he "looks male" while I "look female."

Explain how this is fair to me with a reason that isn't just "because misogyny."
