Escaping abusers who flip the blame is self-care, just as resistance is an act of love. Please ground yourself in the root of your compassion, as you persist against white-toothed grinning salesmen telling the cameras that you are somehow the problem. Far from it! Take care of yourselves out here❤️✊

Since we’ve been fielding a lot of questions in our direct services about child-on-child sexual abuse (COCSA), @heathercorinna.bsky.social wrote this article to explain the nuanced details of this term and provide helpful information for youth. Full piece here: www.scarleteen.com/read/abuse...

IMMENSELY proud of this tool I've been working on with @heathercorinna.bsky.social and @jmarzipan.bsky.social The Care Web Toolkit is designed to help you keep all your key medical info in one place, useful whether you have one condition or many. Read it, use it, remix it, share it!

Just sponsored @ddev.bsky.social - a tool that's become indispensable for my dev work and gives me renewed hope in open source at a time when, well, egalitarian technologies are now more often conveniences or worse, "open-source-wash", for corporate/big-tech ambitions than "the real deal".

No it is not "in the cloud", but very much down to Earth. And #ClimateEmergency not the only threat - what about water and other resource use? So we can have such #AI slop as "shrimp Jesus"? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Was talking to my housie about Adolescence, and White Lotus today and how negative viewer reactions sometimes just highlight those shows successes. If the entitled shits of the world identify with the characters you have written, you probably wrote some very accurate and compelling entitled shits!

Our founder needs some help! Please give what you can to help treat and heal someone who has healed many of us by keeping queer sexuality education and support free to young people, even (and especially) when it was/is politically dangerous to do so. We'd be nowhere without them!❤️‍🩹 #HelpSky

Healthcare, including dental, in the USA is a joke and @heathercorinna.bsky.social is having to cover >10k for the first treatments/surgeries, just to keep their jaw from crumbling! If you can spare any $$$ please help save Heather's jaw! www.gofundme.com/f/help-heath... #HelpSky #FundSky #MutualAid

Here's a concrete thing you can do to help right now. If you rent, start a tenants' union. Just meet once a month. Ask everyone who comes to donate $5-$10 per month to start two things: a rent support fund and a legal support fund for anyone who needs them. Keeping people housed is praxis.

"The team found that, first, religiousness was a strong, clear predictor of moral incongruence regarding porn use. This is important, as it indicates that we can and should use a person’s religiousness as an indicator of the likelihood of moral conflict over porn use."

This new article is an excellent resource for parents! Demeter Delune outlines some tips and makes some great connections on how dating can become a part of self-care for parents through the cultivation of intimate and meaningful relationships outside the family. www.scarleteen.com/read/relat...

📝 New Blog Post: Poisoning Well I have started publishing nonsense content on my blog, to mess with LLM crawlers. Here is the article, all about it: heydonworks.com/article/pois... And here is the nonsense companion article, all about *whatever*: heydonworks.com/nonsense/poi...

AI crawlers seemingly trying to shut down the independent internet, needs to be news. It's in tech news, but this isn't just "geeky stuff"! I couldn't fathom why they'd tank us while scraping us, but then I realised that it's not shoplifting, it's scorched earth making stolen goods more valuable. 🤬

Shout out to @codepen.io for being one of the few tools I've opened up and *not* been asked to try a new AI feature.

‘The increased need for health and disability benefits is symptomatic of failures in the NHS, housing, food prices, wages. Ignoring all the root causes and slashing wildly at the last safety net takes a special kind of ineptitude.’ New from @arianneshahvisi.bsky.social www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ma...

Something I'm loving about #axecon are the "subliminals" fired between the different speakers. We won't find a productive consensus unless we're real about the disagreements. 🙌✊🤝

I’m watching #axe-con sessions this week and I was absolutely blown away by this one from @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social . Deep, broad, inspiring, vitally important, and saying the things that need to be said in this moment.

"There's no way that this nonsensical overreaching policy could ever be enforced" - remember selective enforcement against vulnerable groups can do half the work, and self-policing can do the rest. Let's not be fooled again by the stupidity of fascism.
