⚖️ What begins in one corner of the internet does not necessarily stay there. The adult industry’s experiences with banks offer a cautionary example of how financial power can extend quietly behind the scenes. @RaineyReitman @annaleen.bsky.social #DigitalRights #FreeExpression #InternetGovernance

Podcast cover for Episode #32 of "Future Knowledge" titled "Transaction Denied." The design features the portraits of Rainey Reitman & Annalee Newitz. Alongside the portraits are a classical statue head, a vintage computer with the word "NEW" on its screen, a modernist observation tower, and abstract architectural shapes. The title uses bold, blocky typography, giving the cover a vintage sci-fi aesthetic.
