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.

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.

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.'"

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.
