SWOP had its bank accounts closed by Chase — sound familiar? — and now the people who do the work can’t be paid.
We can’t get their bank account back, but we can get Phoenix, who spends so much of their life organizing mutual aid for others, able to meet bills this month.

A young rescued river otter is swimming free again!
Found orphaned along a roadside, she was brought to the Zoo for care before continuing her recovery at Center Valley Animal Rescue with other two male rescued otters. Last week, all three were released back into the wild!

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

If you’re a sex worker, especially in a criminalized area, I’d urge you to be aware of things like this 👇
From breaking down how location tracking works to the various types of malware, here’s everything to know about your phone’s privacy vulnerabilities. ssd.eff.org/playlist/pr...
Privacy Breakdown of Mobile Phones
Mobile phones were not designed for privacy and security by default. Not only do they do a poor job of protecting your communications, they also expose you to new kinds of surveillance risks—especially location tracking.
Most mobile phones give the user much less control than a personal desktop or laptop...

Hotel sex trafficking suit can proceed, inviting hotels to profile and harass guests
Can a hotel be guilty of sex trafficking just because it didn't surveil its customers enough?

Crucially, it seems like if you THINK you’re really smart, you’re easier to scam -
which explains a lot about why so many high-faluting devs, engineers, and doctors, who have been praised for their intellect their entire lives, have become such productive marks for tech scams in crypto and AI.

Sex workers were banging the drum about the first amendment well before the last election. Hate to say it told you so, but…
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

I thought I was pretty good at self-loathing but apparently I need to get on Gemini's level.
Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:
‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic
they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone
