In 2022, we saw a massive global escalation of people in power to consolidate their power by breaching peoples digital rights.

In 2023, we will fight harder than ever.

Florida voters ousted Judge Jared Smith from office after he refused to let a minor terminate her pregnancy, deeming her too immature to get an abortion.

In response, Ron DeSantis just appointed Smith to an even higher court. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/elections/2022/08/25/did-anti-abortion-ruling-lead-to-sitting-hillsborough-county-judges-defeat/ https://twitter.com/jimrosicafl/status/1605327849078067204

“Don’t Say Gay” is a hodgepodge of vague and bad lawmaking that will be used as a vehicle — or excuse — to deny gay and, especially, trans children the right to exist in peace.

The rate at which the furry community criticizes kink is staggering. You're going to create a space that no adults will want to actively participate in.

Stop trying to make pornography "safe for kids" to consume. It's not for kids. It's for consenting adults.

I’m seeing some about the fediverse along the lines of “we welcome our new venture capitalist and Big Tech overlords… what could possibly go wrong?”

What could possibly go wrong? Oh, I don’t know… take a look at the whole damn web. Take a look at email. Take a look at any resource that was part of the commons but was enclosed/captured by corporate interests. Read up on embrace, extend, and extinguish.

Sexual feelings often manifest during puberty. Without comprehensive sex ed, this can leave teenagers unsure of how to express or explore these feelings in a healthy or safe manner, leaving them vulnerable to predatory adults who pretend to offer that support.
