Really frustrating to see an entire @washingtonpost write up on the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) that doesn’t include any of the concerns that have been repeatedly raised by LGBTQ+, free expression and privacy advocates. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/16/their-kids-deaths-were-tied-social-media-they-want-congress-act/

Breaking my self-imposed Twitter silence to offer some context for last night's mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Since early 2021, the right has increasingly mobilized against the queer community, with drag shows being a particular focal point. https://countingcrowds.org/2022/09/30/escalating-right-wing-attacks-on-the-lgbtq-community/
