I love this response

"Whenever you speak to anyone in the sex work space, whether they work for a sex toy company or are a porn star, these are the most educated, understanding, compassionate people you will ever meet. They know everything about safe sex. They know everything about navigating things consensually."

"The most common causes of strokes in young women are pregnancy, post-partum, birth control, and migraine-related. The most common modifiable factors across gender (what strangulation would be considered) are smoking and hypertension" Thank you for debunking this @nicolerprause.bsky.social!

“Whenever laws are passed about sexual content, queer people are almost always collateral damage.. We lose spaces where we can talk openly and safely about what turns us on, what keeps us safe, and how we navigate intimacy in a society that’s still learning what consent means."

Very valid questions! So many sex workers have been banned or even lost accounts for "sexual" content that's only perceived as sexual because the person in the photo does sex work. Had a non sex worker posted the same image, it wouldn't have been flagged.

British MPs rolled out details on their ill-defined "strangulation" censorship law, saying that mere *possession* of consensually produced content, even a private video made with your partner, would carry a two year prison sentence.

Yes, I want my tax dollars going to feed and house people. Those are some of the best uses of my tax dollars, in fact.

Whenever I meet a "feminist" who wants to abolish sex work, I instantly know I'm talking with an unserious person who is not willing to do the work. Let's imagine, for the sake of the argument, that they were right and all sex workers were trafficking victims who wanted to leave sex work. 🧵

For fuck's sake. The lawmakers behind Oklahoma's new "public obscenity" law seem to be asking for the power of prior restraint — that local cops can block an LGBTQ+ event before it happens because they believe it might be obscene. Which is not how obscenity works, but it is how censorship does.

The word prostitute is a slur and should not be used if one is not a full service sex worker (fssw). Sex work is an umbrella term referring to in-person sex workers like strippers, escorts (fssw's), dommes, massage gals and online sex workers who create video and do phone sex etc.

Can't help but laugh at all the conservatives fawning over James Dobson, who described marriage as a form of sex work, in which women provide services to their husband in exchange for living expenses and security.

Remember that the predominant form of age verification for porn sites — the new mandates passed in nearly every red state in the past few years — is a facial scan coupled with government ID.

Don't do this. Little kids should not be responsible for feeding their families. This is like giving them socks as a Christmas present.

Tinder announced that it will require new US users to submit biometrics in order to access their account, using the facial scan to establish that the photos in their profile are, in fact them. What happens with this data after establishing identity is much less clear.

Law enforcement does this regularly, with high-profile round-ups of sex workers under the guise of stopping trafficking. They're rewarded with grant money and federal funds and PR. Meanwhile, the sex workers are jailed or forced through rehabilitation programs or assaulted. That's exploitation.

This week, we’re inviting supporters to adopt a reentry kit - a simple way to say, “I see you, and I believe in your next chapter.” Each kit costs $25 and includes hygiene items, basic clothing, snacks, and a phone card. It’s a small package with a big message: you matter, and you’re not alone.

JUST IN: Federal judge tells U.S. Border Patrol Gregory Bovino to have his own body-worn camera by Friday. Bovino told her he has no camera, and he's not been trained to use one.

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.

“The market for children’s information on the dark web is, unfortunately, booming. The demand is there and digital ID will create one of the largest supplies of children’s data just waiting to be hacked.”

"I recently reviewed Even Realities G1 smart glasses (they're very cool) and the first real-world thing I used them for was scamming someone." This is terrifying, actually

Porn addiction isn’t real It’s just not All of the ”science” about it comes from groups with religious ties, anti-sex worker ties, or grifting “therapists” A compulsive relationship with porn is about the individual, not the porn

You don't ban "sex" when you ban sex work. You don't ban "porn" when you ban adult creators. Instead, you incentivise work arounds and underground economies that thrive on lack of consent and platform complacency. If you want to ban the bad stuff, you need to acknowledge the worth of the good stuff

Fuck you. Using sex work as shorthand for classy or trashy or morally repugnant or whatever this is supposed to be puts you more in line with the current administration than it does his opposition.

It was never about protecting children. It was always about censorship of the internet.

Just so we're clear, they're proposing a tax on speech. www.goerie.com/story/news/p...

The adult industry always leads.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

"This could mean that not only people in Wisconsin would have to share their biometrics, IDs, and credit card details without the security of a VPN encrypting their communications, but that adult sites may be forced to block all individuals accessing their services regardless of their location."

Sure wish more people started noticing this…

So I guess sex work is only ok if just tech oligarchs are profiting off it and not marginalized women or minorities who depend on it to survive?

The reason marginalized groups are so over representated in sex work is that we are literally not allowed to exist anywhere else So we found a different way to survive You cannot support sex worker rights if you don't support the people in the sex work industry

Let me be super fucking clear You cannot support sex worker rights if you don't also support trans people, non white people, immigrants, drug users, disabled people, women, queer/gay people, and poor people and human rights in general

The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late. Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs. Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

And @microsoft.com's MSN bows to religious fascism, whitewashing content from outlets like Christian Post that portray LGBTQ+ people as violent, controlling and focused on converting children. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

this is why lD verification is the wrong move, to be resisted at every turn: the stewards of that data are not savvy or sophisticated enough to keep it secure. business guys can't protect shit

In Ohio, starting on Monday 9/29, we'll be implementing an age assurance solution similar to what we're doing in South Dakota and Wyoming. Read more here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Oops looks like someone tried to find a payment processor

"Due to various circumstances like recent restrictions from payment processors and the changing online landscape, our team has found it difficult to continue. With saddened hearts, we plan to close Manga Planet’s digital service at the end of March 2026." mangaplanet.com/blog/closure...

"Passing ineffective law to satiate the public breeds contempt for the law and the political process. It also deters efforts to find solutions that really will work. Having already passed a law, the politicians can move on to the next thing, even though the law in question is ineffective."

There's a lot to be said about the way many DV services receive funding from the DOJ and VOCA (victims of crime act) and how the financial entanglement of these services with the criminal justice system is not ideal and how one can care deeply about survivors and also reject the carceral system 1/11

ICE is partnering with Amtrak to stalk cruising spots in Penn Station to arrest and deport gay immigrants using “public lewdness” laws.

The legislator behind the new Ohio age-verification law doesn't even know what's in the bill. He claims that it excludes social media sites. No such language exists. This is why you don't push something you couldn't get passed the normal way into an budget omnibus. www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/ho...
