so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

This matters, please take a few minutes to get informed!

Not enough people are paying attention to a major target for Brendan Carr and the Trump admin’s crackdown on free speech: social media. It’s under bipartisan attack, even though it’s a crucial forum for reaching the public and fighting back. spitfirenews.com/p/is-anyone-...

Tomorrow y'all! Please take advantage of the community resources!

We don't say sex work is work because it's a cute slogan. We say sex work is work because sex workers are left out of conversations around labor rights. Sex workers have the right to safe workplaces and legal protections. Sex workers shouldn't fsce discrimination because of archaic morals.

Carceral feminism won't save us. Relying on police, surveillance and courts won't keep our communities safe. We need community-based solutions for safety, and we need them now.

Buried in the new Missouri age-verification regulation is a declaration by the Attorney General that even WITH age-verification, she believes that posting porn online is illegal and should be criminally prosecuted. ago.mo.gov/other-resour...

Thread:

30 yrs since the #BeijingDeclaration, sex workers are still excluded from gender equality. At #CSW69, NSWP calls for: 🔑 Full decriminalisation of sex work – the only path to rights, health & safety. 📄 Read more: www.nswp.org/sites/defaul...

Very sure Meta will take this down, so re-posting here. I said what I said. #SexWorkIsRealWork #SexWorkIsWork #NSFW #NSFWsky

People upset about the Michigan "antiporn" law don't realise the power the state already has to deeem vast swaths of sex related content illegal — and the power to harass those who challenge them. This 2 Live Crew arrest is a good refresher.

"Not that the parents who were complaining about these books in the situation I was involved in had anything to worry about. Their children had never entered the library in the first place and were certainly not book readers.” — @sassylibrarian.bsky.social

“Nearly everyone in Missouri would be affected by these regulations, and even a simple Google search could require a facial scan. That's a huge amount of government power over the internet. I just don't believe anyone realizes how invasive these types of laws are until they go into effect.”

This is also puritan / radfem : 'Biological Men are predators inherently.' 'sex is rape that happens to a woman unless she's in a LT cishet relationship'

Just a reminder! Who is coming out this Friday? #Seattle #SexWorkIsWork

Ireland is failing trafficking victims by conflating all sex work with trafficking, by the Direct Provision system and by not yet providing guidelines for the National Referral Mechanism. www.lawsociety.ie/gazette/top-...

please pay attention!

“We are seeing, in real time, SB 796 have a chilling effect on our education system,” former Rep. Mauree Turner told Erin in the Morning. “It is unfortunate when people with the power to preserve access to education buckle under that pressure."

Deeply disturbing. Missouri is implementing age verification for 18+ sites through its AG. No vote, no legislation, just the Attorney General implementing the policy and forcing AV on its residents www.komu.com/news/state/n...

#EndDemandIsAntiEquity #nothingaboutuswithoutus #DemandAutonomy

Myth: All Clients Are Predators The idea that every client is a predator is one of the most persistent myths about sex work. While violence against sex workers is real and must be taken seriously, painting all clients with the same brush is inaccurate and harmful.

Solidarity Knows No Borders From camps to cities, our struggles for #SRHR are connected. Queer, migrant, stateless & refugee sex workers deserve dignity, safety & healthcare. When we rise together, no one is left behind. ✊🏾💛 #SexWorkIsWork #Solidarity

By fourteen, the abuse had become exploitation. Older men promised safety, then abused that promise. She disappeared from school, only to be criminalized for truancy. Police ignored her when she reported assault, but arrested her for curfew violations. Every system passed her off.

Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up. Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/08/29/i...

Denmark is poised to grant citizens copyright control over their own faces, voices, and bodies The copyright amendment would give every citizen legal ownership over their physical likeness, allowing them to demand the removal of unauthorized AI-generated content www.myprivacy.blog/denmark-make...

A law like this in the US would prohibit someone from selling your mugshot without your permission.

“We’re seeing our sales drop, but we’re also seeing a lot of dear friends and colleagues decide to close up shop. It just feels like there is no possible way to proactively comply with the requirements that are being asked of us, and that that’s an intentional move on the part of lawmakers.”

If only there had been people sounding the alarm that this would happen!

It also means gradually expanding what porn even means. Suddenly the completely sfw book with a gay character is considered pornography. The show with an interracial couple. They will never stop on their own

Hey @mollyjongfast.bsky.social thank you for pushing back on misogynistic bullshit other guests on MSNBC The Weekend were spewing about the victims of Jeffrey Epstein being somehow UNFIT to testify in court because they were PAID for SEX. They were all WRONG, and you were the only one to call it out

There is a widespread belief in law-enforcement that anyone who’s been paid for sex is ipso facto a liar who cannot be trusted to testify to anything, even things that happened to her own body. That’s what Molly ran into today, and absolutely no one else wanted to admit that’s what they were saying

We warned legislators and regulators this would happen. We showed them data on consumer non-compliance and the surge in VPNs and pirate sites. They knew this would happen didn’t care.

happening now! 🖤🧡

Who is coming out to visit us? All I am saying is 1. bounce house 2. free back to school supplies 3. free health screenings

"Think of the Children" is often a justification for repressive laws, and pornography is the canary in the coal mine of Freedom of Expression. It's really all about a minority that wants to control what everyone else is allowed to see, do, or say, depending on if that minority approves of it...

Online age checks are on the rise. To proponents, they're a tool to keep children from adult websites. But opponents see a worrisome trend toward a less secure and less free internet, where people can be denied access not just to pornography but news, health information www.msn.com/en-us/techno...

(Thread) I met with my Canadian member of parliament today to discuss the ongoing censorship stemming primarily from the US as well as overzealous digital surveillance policies popping up worldwide, including Bill S-209 in Canada.

A thread about how which type of books and knowledge is banned in prison. You can't rehabilitate people if you deny them basic knowledge and autonomy

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:
