like hmm hey i know some of you haven't shaken off the whole pop-psych "until you're 25 you're basically cognitively impaired" myth but infantilizing young adults has real consequences for my community so can we be less weird about bodily autonomy for like. a minute,

Family abolition generally? Recommend _Abolish the Family _ by @reproutopia.bsky.social

Bodily autonomy will never be a reality without prison abolition and family abolition

Respecting a child’s right to leave their family for any reason is the only way to guarantee that any child can leave an abusive family, and if we respected that right, it would end the family as we know it. Only recently have adult women had this right, and we can and must do the same for children.

Gender and sex assignment at birth is an inherently violent act

Also, abolish the family, and abolish policing (which doesn’t mean just abolishing police, but also social workers and teachers performing the same functions)

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

Also, if power imbalances are what make it unacceptable for people above a certain age to have sex with people below a certain age, then that's subject to change. Which may be hard to accept, but has to be accepted if you aren't going to write off entire cultures as being completely abusive.

it hurts so much to think about a time 5 years ago when we were all appropriately scared of covid, when it was common to hear sentiments like “we’re all in this together even if we can’t*be* together.”

and now here we are. “fuck you, disabled people, whose ranks i surely will never join.”

if you engage in this sort of AI Anthropomorphism in the pages of a prominent media organization (or anywhere else) you are loudly advertising that you don't know how this technology actually works
