December 17th is the International Day to End Violence Againts Sx Workers. But how can we achieve this goal when the very people trusted with protecting us ignore our calls for help, take the side of the perpetrators, or assault us themselves?

"Anyone who refuses a written debate (where careful citation and fact-checking occurs and fallacies and word-games are more easily called out) is thereby declaring their disinterest in any real debate. ... Live debate is just a game. And as such, it is only pseudo-intellectual." // Richard Carrier

I'm on Socialist Republic discussing the unsoundness of the Moral Argument for God & why an objective #morality necessarily exists in all possible worlds. Timely, as this came up in both my debates last week (which I'll blog on soon). www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HEW... #philosophy

hey, psst— you are so many good & wonderful things.

New book, The Obsolete Paradigm of a Historical Jesus, on Godless Granny tonight (Sat, Nov 22, 4:30 EST) www.youtube.com/live/h2_4CPl... & Tuesday on Godless Engineer (Nov. 25, 8pm EST) www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Pj... Each will focus on different things & Qs about one can be asked in the other!

#Jesus #Bible #History "As a rule, refutable propositions get refuted; but ten years of evasion across an entire field of study can only mean one thing: there is no refutation. This is now the strongest evidence that the historicity of Jesus is no longer genuinely credible." // Richard Carrier

#ChatControl #EU #DigitalPrivacy #HumanRights "'They are selling us security but delivering a total surveillance machine,' Breyer concludes. 'They promise child protection but punish our children and criminalize privacy. This is not a compromise – this is a fraud against the citizen.'"

I got tired of reading this fake statistic that strangulation during sex was the "second leading cause of stroke in young women". It's not. medium.com/@nicole.prau...

You get to decide-- who you are, what's worth fighting for, what your life's all about. You get to decide all of it. "They" are going to try to shame or pressure or stress you out of that right-- & it is a RIGHT-- but your baseline recovery task is to affirm: this is MY decision.

I have played the first 4 episodes of Dispatch multiple times now and can so far 100% recommend! 💯🎮🖤

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

Mental, spiritual, & financial abuse are no less "real" just because there seemed to be no physical coercion involved-- and, not for nothing, the threat of physical violence is never as far away from these forms of abuse as many people assume.

Traffic to Pornhub has fallen by more than 75% in the UK since the introduction of the Online Safety Act, as legal adults have shifted to the thousands non-compliant sites, supercharging the growth of platforms that don't moderate for pirated content, revenge porn and CSAM An unmitigated disaster.

"One of the biggest causes of bad, even fatal, outcomes is belief in things that are untrue." // Daniel J. Levitin, A field guide to lies

"Sex work sets off insidious moral panic that is validated everywhere. For this reason, many people feel that their aversion is justified; instead of what it actually is, which is a big conflated tangle of misogyny, homophobia, moral imperialism, and most likely also hypocritical envy." - Tina Horn

"... it isn't true that the Christians caused it. It is true that the Christians made it worse ... Christianity wasn't the solution, right? They had to go back to pagan values. ... so this rejection of pagan values is what really fucked us over in the dark ages." // Dr. Richard Carrier

Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its Résilience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

There are a lot of problems with the historical reliability of the Christian biblical texts, which is a problem for Christians when they have to argue for the credibility of their own faith.

#Misinformationer #AI #Danmark prosabladet.dk/nyheder/nyhe... Prosabladet har misforstået dette studie. Det er IKKE en liste over "de mest udsatte stillinger i forhold til AI" og kan IKKE fortolkes sådan. Forfatterne bag studiet (arxiv.org/abs/2507.07935) skriver selv følgende:

“But forgiveness is for you!” So is justice. So is accountability for those who hurt them. So is the anger that must be heard for them to find peace. Stop using forgiveness to shame people for healing on their own terms. If it’s for them, let them decide. Stay out of their way.

It's not a failure or our fault that we can't "fix" anyone else. Hell, we can't "fix" ourselves. "Fixing" isn't what healthy relationships are about anyway, w/ others or ourselves. What we CAN do for them is what we can do for us: listen, accept, support, love. Not try to "fix."

“As we usually say to leaders when we work with them on establishing psychological safety, power looks so much different when looked at from below. If an employee depends on you, there is a very visible power distance to them that might not be visible for you.” // Poornima Luthra & Sara Louise Muhr

"...Keep living your most authentic life. Do not allow your own testimony to be weaponized against you. Do not allow them to dismiss your boldness & your passion & your ability to think critically & your ability to dig deeper & to keep seeking truth or keep seeking authenticity...." // Kristi Burke

The number of people & organizations that depend on our "fawn" trauma response to get us playing along with their bullsh*t is staggering. Once you see it, you can't un-see it.
