Today— May 10 —marks the anniversary of the destruction of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, a pioneering clinic and library of human sexuality. Nazis looted and publicly burned its research, records and artifacts to bury evidence of trans/queer existence.

The parallels today are unmistakable.

If you're taking your wife or mother out to eat for Mother's Day, please be kind and tip well to all the mothers who couldn't get the day off.

A lot of the hostesses, waitresses, and customer service people you'll be interacting with are mothers, too.

EXCLUSIVE: New GOP Bill Seeks To Take Sledgehammer To Online Porn Industry Congressional Republicans will introduce legislation Thursday that would severely crack down on internet pornography and upend the online porn industry.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.

The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.

The OnlyFans creator mansion that's dividing the internet Bop House shows that social media is vital to adult creators, but big tech and stigma are clamping down on online sex work.

Spoke with Darshita Goyal for @mashable.com re: the BOP House, a social media content creator mansion that is highlighting how moral panics about children and the internet often create discourse that strips women (and young women) of their agency. mashable.com/article/bop-...

Pro-Censorship Candidates Lose Big in School District Races Across Texas In a big victory in the fight for intellectual freedom and access to books in school libraries, the majority of candidates backed by pro-censorship organizations like Moms for Liberty lost their schoo...

Last week's votes in Texas may show the tide turning against censorship. Voters in Texas outright rejected school board candidates who ran on attacking librarians and teachers for distributing "pornography" (aka LGBTQ+ books)

Keep up the fight.

For the record, it does in fact look like the judge is innocent as more facts come out.

Your knee-jerk reaction should always be “ICE/DOJ are lying” in a case like this, because they are almost always lying.

"FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan in a post on the social media platform X, which he deleted moments after posting....The FBI declined to comment on why Patel had deleted his post announcing Dugan’s arrest."

CASW JUST GOT ITS FIRST AVN MENTION!!! @avn.bsky.social

"harmful to minors" has always been a political term that means "anything that offends my morality". It's never been about actually protecting children.

"Criminalization has never helped sex workers. Instead, it's why cops can get away with committing about a third of all sexual assaults against sex workers." #Sexworkiswork
