Just learned from @nicolerprause.bsky.social that JK is hosting an event that wants to frame pornography as violence against women and Mary Sharpe will be speaking. Sharpe is a karezza enthusiast, a sexual practice that teaches that orgasms are harmful to women. www.thenational.scot/news/nationa...

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

I spoke to GQ Magazine about fake "porn addiction" claims used to wage war on sexual expression in the USA. It includes discussion of our data on the NoFap Army/manosphere and violence increasingly targeting (especially) female performers. www.gq.com/story/suprem...

Perhaps when we worry about Big Tech, we should spend less time focused on social media and more time focused on the companies actively helping to expand the surveillance state reason.com/2025/06/02/p...

“Billboards can’t be shadowbanned, can’t be muted, and can’t be scrolled past,” said Andrew Bachman, the CEO and founder of Creators Inc., one of the largest management agencies in the OnlyFans space. “When everybody’s going Jetsons, going Flintstones, is kind of a flex.”

On June 2nd, 1975, 100 sex workers gathered at the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France. They demanded an end stigma, criminal penalties and police harassment. They hung a banner which read ‘Our children don’t want their mothers to go to jail’ That was when International Sex workers' Day started.

corporations bailing on supporting lgbtq+ organizations out of fear of getting attacked by the trump admin is exactly why longtime activists have criticized the hollow corporatization of pride and advocated for grassroots pride events.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

Sex workers don't deserve to be punished for surviving.

Cannot stop staring at this. How can you claim to support sex workers while also arguing they're too stupid to advocate for themselves? "These women sound too smart, therefore, it's safe to assume they are actually men" Beyond dehumanizing.

To say that someone is a sex WORKER is to say that they have agency in their behavior. So unless you’re involved in a direct debate with someone who doesn’t understand this, there’s no need to proactively modify it

Brent Leatherwood, policy director of the Southern Baptists, is now calling for the complete eradication of pornography, saying it's "incompatible with human flourishing," and claiming widespread sexual abuse. Of course, if anyone knows about widespread sexual abuse, it's the Southern Baptists.

The far-right attacks on science and sex are part of its larger war on reality and knowledge. @savannahsly.bskyverified.social and I talked about how and why Republicans are so obsessed with criminalizing porn on the latest Theory of Change episode plus.flux.community/p/the-right-...

"People need to realize that criminalizing porn is not ever really about just criminalizing adult content — it's about criminalizing representations of sexuality and gender, and ultimately criminalizing those practices and communities."

The Nordic Model of client criminalisation harms sex workers. This article outlines much of the evidence that is currently available. We urge other countries to learn from Ireland's mistake and to decriminalise sex work instead. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/02/07/o...

I understand the term "consensual sex work," but I hate it. I've worked a lot of jobs, but I've never been called a consensual factory worker or a consensual customer service rep before. I've never known another field that starts with the assumption that you're trafficked.

If you legitimately want to reduce the amount of people in the sex trade, then focus on providing services that allow them to exit. If you aren't advocating for affordable housing, affordable daycare, job training, jobs with living wages, healthcare You aren't actually serious

Surprise, surprise! 🥴 The Texas legislator who authored the internet antiporn bill has now advanced a bill to ban school libraries from buying books with "profane" language or other "material harmful to minors." It started with "porn" and now they're banning fucking swear words.

Homeland Security & ICE have long been involved in local sex work stings, which is messed up enough on its own but takes on an extra sinister note in this immigration climate. Especially when authorities release a chart of mugshots noting which arrestees are undocumented reason.com/2025/05/21/i...

"The migration away from legitimate sites is already impacting performers. Some who saw their income plummet after age-verification laws took effect have turned to in-person sex work, which poses greater risks than porn because it remains criminalized almost everywhere in the US."
