of course i have a million thoughts at all times but i generally find it unhelpful to voice every single one of them, especially so when the thought would be better said by someone with a more valuable perspective. so i point you once again to the same marjane satrapi quote i always do:

a quote from marjane satrapi that reads:
“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Here's the email I sent to my senators this week, I have been contacting them regularly about this since May. Feel free to tweak it and make it your own:

Hello Senator,
I'm writing to urge you to vote NO on all of these internet censorship bills: KOSA SCREEN Act, COPPA 2.0 RESET Act, Sammy Act, App Store Accountability Act, GAMING Act, Safe Messaging for Kids Act, Parents over Platforms Act

Most of these bills claim to protect teens by placing a duty of care on online platforms to prevent exposure to harmful things to minors. But Republicans keep expanding the definition of "harmful." KOSA's sponsor said it would "protect minors from the transgender in this culture." The Heritage Foundation said it would use KOSA to block abortion information. Current FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson signed up "to fight wokeness" and "the trans agenda." The administration in power right now can't be trusted with laws like these.

I am a trans author and illustrator, and I've been facing a huge amount of censorship of my work already over the past three years. My book Gender Queer: A Memoir has been the most challenged book in the United States for 3 of the of the past 4 years, and I've already had to face an obscenity lawsuit against my book. I think these bills would lead to my work being EVER more censored online than before. If passed, these bills will harm LGBTQ teens, adults, and anyone who needs information on reproductive health or abortion. Please vote NO on all of these bills! Please oppose this legislation, which will only lead to more censorship of our free speech.
~Maia Kobabe

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

tl;dr - the reason why pro-censorship groups, notably Collective Shout, have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by a lobbying group called GOSRN (the Global Online Safety Regulators Network) if you’re looking at the PP censor situation, you might want to look into this.

“Porn” is a public good. “Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society. “Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression. “Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express. It’s worth defending on its own.

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.
