Theoretically can only scrape “live” publicly available data, but terrifying regardless.

Sex, and sex work in particular, is the stone they sharpen their legal knives on.
Legislators know that few people will stand up and defend porn or sex work more broadly, and it allows them to pass bills that they can then use to harass, intimidate and jail other forms of expression.

Sexual rights are human rights, and if you won't defend the right to consensual sexual expression, you can't adequately defend consent, gender expression, sexuality, reproductive care, and a whole lotta speech.
Throwing "sex" under the bus is complying in advance with Christian Nationalism.

"Pornography" is a dog-whistle, same as "DEI" and "woke" — a pretext for broad censorship and repression of issues related sex and gender.
Unfortunately, too many on the left take it at face value ... and distance themselves from fights. We need much broader awareness and our allies to fight back.

It may be the first time I'm spending it alone. The grief has hit hard this year. I'm fed up seeing my friends die, refused healthcare and treated poorly.

In the U.S., social media content creation is excluded from the census. As The Washington Post headlined in 2023, “millions work as creators. In official records, they barely exist.” Great piece by @brookeerinduffy.bsky.social. www.forbes.com/sites/brooke...
Why Labor Protection For Creators Is An Uphill Battle
Creators have few legal safeguards, especially when it comes to labor concerns. But change may be on the horizon.
