Obscenity laws are subjective nonsense. But they’re scary and creeping back into the US legal system. It’s fascist anti-liberty. https://twitter.com/erininthemorn/status/1617955477337575425
"This is far from a complete list. There are countless stories like this, where sex educators, sex workers, artists, and journalists are censored or pushed off platforms completely for crossing these imaginary lines that are constantly moving." https://buff.ly/3FMkkzY

"Now that the alt-right's 'groomer' campaign has become better understood for what it is, and as Prostasia Foundation prepares to introduce its new Executive Director for 2023, the time is right for us to return to the field of political advocacy." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a
