I hate how many times that I have to explain that the best thing we can do to prevent CSA is improved sexual education for children (especially for the younger kids), improved support systems, and better social understanding of how this shit happens.

This is what i mean by the post below. People are (JUSTIFIABLY) angry and afraid, and there are bad actors who want to take advantage of that in order to push regressive, reactionary legislation that will only hurt marginalized groups.

be very careful about what you boost.

a screenshot from https://www.worldwithoutexploitation.org/ showing how they support the Kids Online Safety Act, a notorious censorship/surveillance bill

while they call it the "survivor model", in reality this is basically a repackaging of the "Nordic model" of sex work legality, which does not actually protect sex workers.

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"

they are not your allies.

What the experts want you to know about these key ADHD symptoms Some people refer to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder as "a superpower" while others describe their ADHD symptoms as debilitating. Can both be true?

ADHD can mean periods of hyperfocus OR task paralysis. And while task paralysis may mean a tendency to "doomscroll on our phones or stare out windows, [it] can also look like 'procrasti-activity, doing all the other less important things on the list.'"

Below, on a gold background, a quotation says: “Language shapes how ADHD is understood and how society treats people…. Neurodiversity-informed language may reduce stigma, support epistemic justice, and create a more meaningful understanding of ADHD.” At the bottom is the full research citation and link.

Seeing as this has received some attention, there is one mnemonic I’ve found that can help sometimes to manufacture motivation for ADHD.

Novelty
Challenge
Urgency
Passion

Q & A: Orr v. Trump | American Civil Liberties Union Following a January 2025 Executive Order from President Donald Trump, the State Department began barring people from obtaining passports with a sex designation on them that is not the same as their sex assigned at birth. In response, the ACLU filed a federal lawsuit challenging the State Department's policy on behalf of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people.

The Supreme Court this week allowed the State Department to enforce President Trump's anti-trans passport policy while our lawsuit challenging his executive order moves through the courts.

Brianna Ghey: Media must recognise its part in rising transphobia Following years of media and government anti-trans messaging, a young trans person has been murdered in what appears to have been a targeted attack.

Precisely why I

1) don’t take insurance in the first place (it’s a fucking scam, & if someone wants to dictate how I treat my clients, they can go to school and get the degrees that I worked my ass off for)

2) ALWAYS state “ongoing treatment for Dx” for those who wish to submit receipts themselves
