I wrote about KOSA, Naomi Klein’s new book, and why it remains dangerous for us to cede “holding Big Tech accountable” to the right newrepublic.com/article/1758...

Get Real, Congress: Censoring Search Results or Recommendations Is Are you a young person fighting back against bad bills like KOSA? Become an EFF member at a new, discounted Neon membership level specifically for you--stickers included! For the past two years,

The authors of the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) believe pinning liability on a platform’s recommendations will allow them to square a circle and get away with censorship while complying with the First Amendment. It will not.

two books coming out in 2024 i need you to look out for:

Manjula Martin's THE LAST FIRE SEASON: A Personal and Pyronatural History ("H Is for Hawk meets Joan Didion in the Pyrocene," goes the PR copy) +

Charlotte Shane's AN HONEST WOMAN (@charoshane.bsky.social! my own heart expands)

I believe it in a heartbeat. I've been witnessing brain fog in people who don't even realize it (and need stimulants to function).

Extreme heat could impact the effectiveness of birth control and pregnancy tests Many states with abortion bans are experiencing broiling summers — and the heat could damage supplies such as emergency contraception and condoms.

Extreme heat threatens emergency contraceptives, pregnancy tests, and even condoms as all are heat-sensitive and lose effectiveness if left exposed. "Last month, the Lilith Fund reported heat damage to about $3,500 worth of pregnancy tests, thermometers, and condoms."

The Elon/CSAM discourse is really testing me btw

Info graphic with two people having a conversation surrounded by speech bubbles numbered 1-5. At the top reads "Molecular HIV Surveillance What Are The Issues?" Speech bubbles: 1.They don't need your consent to share data 2. MHS isn't like other kinds of public health surveillance 3. Police may use your data against you 4. CDC's data privacy guidelines don't protect much 5. Informed consent and medical mistrust

PrEP-are yourself against molecular hiv surveillance

Shot of my hand using small jewelers tongs to pick up a used syringe from the sidewalk and transfer it to a plastic pencil case

Don't like seeing used needles around your neighborhood? Me either, that's why I clean them up.

I use jewelers tongs to pick them up and a plastic pencil case reinforced with cardboard and duct tape to collect them. When the case is full I chuck it into the bin at my local needle exchange

I know where these worries are coming from and I shouldn't listen to it. Boobs won't save you! There is something very real about social transition within the sex trades & learning to navigate precarity as a different gender.

"You should cancel your surgery" i think "you can't make money without boobs".

Trying to keep my head above the water financially and mentally, and taking the transition charges at exactly that pace.

Starting HRT during a pandemic is such a weird work transition. All of the sudden being thrust into the traditional workforce but still swerking thru 2nd puberty. Going from the highest rates in my career to back where I was years ago.

How THE FUCK do I get Hunter Biden to buy a blowjob from me

To be fair (derogatory?) the NYT giving Kristof a platform to crusade against sex trafficking, sometimes also with invented stories, and for two decades give or take, all that helped all of this became a #1 white savior issue
