Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Analysis | Melania Trump joins push for law on deepfakes, nonconsensual porn The First Lady rallied support for a bill that would criminalize nonconsensual imagery and require social media platforms to take it down.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is “a censorship bill” that will lead platforms to take down all kinds of legitimate content because they won’t have time to sift the valid takedown requests from the malicious ones, EFF’s @irmck.bsky.social told the @washingtonpost.com.

My goal is to make this column essential reading for the community. Hope you enjoy.

I think Poise sponsored her adult camp and she said she uses a pessary when tumbling. Lots of pessary brands available and even have sizing. Also get your dr to refer you to pelvic floor therapy, it works.
