Great essay on the dehumanizing effect of "appify-ing intimacy" and turning bodies into product. Many wonderful quotes & observations.

Great aunt Dawn Powell (Algonquin Round Table) was a wild anti-suffragette who lived with her husband + boyfriend in Greenwich Village. "Whoring of mind and body can be a jolly, zestful end in itself but it is cheapened by those who find sentimental lying excuses for it."
The key part of her lifeview was everything is always a trade. She'd be disgusted women got suckered again into giving power away. Society still not ready for that convo.
absolutely here for it
the trouble is that if you start speaking of things as transactional people make it about this grindingly, soul-crushingly petty line item accounting shit
whereas a healthily transactional relationship is a post-scarcity gift economy
what up @jenphalian
in my head i have @sarahdoingthing credited as talking about it but i can't find anything matching my vague memory, maybe she can point at something
