Today @publicpubics.bsky.social & I are pleased to share our new research report: Account Closed Without Notice 🏦💸🚫☂️ we clarify policies restricting bank access for many 🇨🇦 adult industry/SWers + offer recommendations to secure fair financial inclusion for all www.internetmaggie.com/debanking

Ok wow that felt important.

Hot take: tax isn’t a four letter word.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

It is absolutely not lost on me that Heated Rivalry is Canadian, it is soft porn, and it is Very Culturally Relevant. Hence I will always look with a side eye at PornHub for submitting to the CRTC that porn has no cultural value. It does, pornhub just treats it like data and cash.

🇨🇦 SWers + 🌽 creators! @publicpubics.bsky.social & I have been researching SW financial discrim. in Canada + are seeking anecdotes of de-banking to include in our published report Has a bank ever frozen/closed your accounts or withheld $? Willing to share your experience? DM me (+ pls share!)

First mammogram complete 😎

For anyone opposing folks' right to protest, I need you to look around and wonder which leopards are ready to eat your face once that right gets limited. Are you a woman? A worker? Have a lil disability like diabetes? Maybe you have kids you'd like to have access to education?Get thinking.

Law school really disconnected me from my spicy world life. Today I started the process of getting my whole catalogue back online at @pinklabeltv.bsky.social. I may not have time to host my site anymore, but I’m so glad yall will still get to see the movies! And holy gosh I made a bunch of em.

Cops didn’t wear face coverings before.

The real problem with law is that I’m out here citing recent cases that are clearly obviously relevant except they’re from 2001 and Jesus Christ that was 24 years ago.

The satanic panic in the 80s policed art & music for turning people to “satanic child molesters.” Years later when the investigations were complete, it was just moms finding out their husband or priest was touching their kids but they invented an enemy rather than confront their own, real, monster.

Digital policy isn’t novel, it’s meatspace-first like anything else. Worried about extremism? Look into social isolation & community care. Worried about children? Teach them and their adults media literacy. Also maybe make privacy law less about balancing financial interests and more human-centred.

The thing about me is I’m gonna be 10 minutes late

People said I had a tin foil hat on when yelling that age verification, in broadly worded bills, would end up coming for all the ways we communicate. I’ll take that long slow celebratory cigarette now thanks.

Sex workers have been saying this would happen for literally YEARS. We've been yelling it as loud as we could. What would the world look like if we were actually listened to?

Folks! SW’ers need support in Ottawa this month! Toss some money their way if you can. And hey, also give @corasfoundation.bsky.social a follow, they’re new around these parts

You’ll hear often that censoring porn or separating it out or being stricter on it “is not a Gordian knot” or whatever. Because lots of people believe they know what porn is. And sure some is obvious, but it’s the edges that get tough. Some think queer people are porn. Some think sex ed is porn.

Ok I’m slinking back to the internet now that I’m getting used to articling life. I’m making my triumphant return by saying: I love advent calendars. Gimme a little treat every dang day please. I love it and already have two lined up: special lil jams, and matcha. Treat calendars every month plz.

Ok but I do think that if I were some kind of Premier or Prime Minister, I’d probably have silly names for bills too. But I wouldn’t do it for sneakiness, I’d do it for transparency. « Saving You Time on Your Commute Act »? More like « Automobile and Construction Lobbyists Hate Cyclists Act »

"In the new ... internet, girls can’t learn about periods on Reddit and artists can’t sell smutty games on Itch.io, but a military contractor will make you nonconsensual deepfakes of Taylor Swift taking her top off for $30 a month." — @thedextriarchy.bsky.social www.theverge.com/internet-cen...

How come when copyright would actually be good to enforce (for me personally and for society), it isn't happening...

I need y’all to know that I just got *the* secret family recipe from the in-laws. 17 years of dedication and I am now going to make the most killer buns.

Hanging out at #prisme2025 this week. Wanna talk about sex work and labour and feminism? Or maybe just share a good hug? GET AT ME.

If you don’t get bylaw called on you while living Ottawa, did you really live there?

I exptect that after finishing the final bar exam, I'd be energized and ready to party. We are on day two of just rest and feeling completely disoriented.

Don’t know how else to say it: you should care about other people, because you are other people.

Besides the fun lesson in grappling techniques and the intro to erotic wrestling that the new CrashPad scene provides, it also demonstrates how "adult videos" aren't limited to explicit hardcore sex. Sensual scenes are welcomed in this space! Kudos @atomicthunder.bsky.social @avalaprima.bsky.social

Law school is done. The parties and a couple days of potato are over. Time to tackle this email inbox 😅

Every part of my heart goes out to Vancouver and the entire Filipino community. This is just absolutely heartbreaking.

TWO DAYS OF LAW SCHOOL LEFT

Church. Hamburgers. State legislature. Two of these things don't go together. And let me tell you, I'll eat a hamburger anywhere.

UGHGHGGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Watching a colleague about to move out for the first time on a bebe lawyer salary in the 60k zone. Then she realizes even studio apartments in Ottawa may have her near the poverty line. My salary cap as a flight attendant after 12 years was 66k. But why are there so many unhoused people?

How do you feel about sex worker unionization? Especially knowing that unions come from hierarchical thinking that assumes workers will always be subjugated by employers? Could we build something new that isn't quite as colonial?

People LOVED their factory jobs back in the 60s / 70s. That's why there were so many songs about how they wanted to stay on the production line for all time and never, ever leave their hometown.

Ok, this is what Good Trouble is supposed to be about, calling all rogue archivists

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

I just gave my last-ever class presentation in law school. It was on BDSM, queer joy, and regulation. Two days of class left. I'm real proud of me.

The GOP explicitly defines "transgender ideology" as "pornography." The ultimate purpose of these internet age-verification laws — and the broader campaign against "porn" — is the erasure of trans voices, communities and resources. The fight for trans visibility is the fight against censorship.
