Hitting a child on the butt can trigger INVOLUNTARY sexual arousal. The child is unaware because their mind is too busy registering the pain to acknowledge the arousal. You're not just hitting muscle & fat. There's key veins and arteries in the rectum, uterus, vagina, and penis.

If we could stop referring to people trying to deliberately cut power to thousands of people in the middle of a nationwide cold snap as "vandals" or "burglars" that'd be great.

They're terrorists. If another country did that, we'd call it an act of war.

"Indeed in 2019, Britain’s National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) chose to purge itself of its LGBTQ+ representatives rather than showing solidarity with them in the face of anti-LGBTQ+ smears against the organization." buff.ly/3v8w0qE

Encrypted messaging might feel like an “extreme” conception of privacy until you consider the vast number of things we once did in surveillance-resistant private settings that now routinely take place online. It’s like complaining people are allowed to buy homes without hidden microphones because they might plan crimes in them.

In a post-Roe world, protecting privacy with end-to-end encryption is a crucial aspect of protecting human rights.

If a 911 caller uses a word as innocuous as “hi” or “please” or “somebody” or even “I need help,” those words and others are all labeled evidence of guilt under this method.

So far, researchers who have tried to corroborate these claims have failed. The experts most familiar with his work warn it shouldn’t be used to lock people up.

LGBTQ people are "just evil people and they're out to groom kids." This kind of language is used by every hate-mongering group seeking to eradicate the "other." First, label them evil, then subhuman. It leads to harassment, violence and death. The end goal is extermination... twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/16

“The attack on porn and sex workers is intimately connected to the attacks on drag, trans healthcare, reproductive rights, book bans and digital privacy. IODA (the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act) is one part of a larger movement to push sex and gender back in the closet.”

A fun thing about the #pixelfed #ios app is that you can follow mastodon accounts with it and it will only show the media posts of the people you follow. It’s good for following photographers (and other kinds of artists) who post on mastodon.
