Hi new followers, I post a lot about:
- Bikes
- Urbanism
- Social Justice
- Disability and Neurodivergence
- Littlespace
- Trans Issues
- Kink and Queer Sexuality
- Sex Work
I do post lewds/NSFW, but tag them so people who don't want to see that can filter it.

I’d love to see journalism exploring the mass deletion of SWs off X in conjunction with the rise of grok’s porn bots. There’s a certain tech bro fantasy of AI as a tool of economic deprivation against SWs. The deep resentment at the financial independence of online SW seems to have come to a head.

Boston’s police oversight agency issued subpoenas to officers with misconduct allegations. Only three complied. - The Boston Globe
It remains to be seen how OPAT will respond to the officers who didn’t comply with its subpoenas.

Since municipal sidewalk snow removal isn't in the pipeline, I would like the city to at least make it clear that part of property owners' responsibility includes clearing public benches and bike racks on their frontage.

Still no sign of plans for a police oversight board as Somerville counts down the days to a new year - Cambridge Day
Recommendations from a years-old police oversight effort and task force were expected to be shared publicly “by December,” but December is about to end.
