The Discord age-verification hack is much worse than was originally reported. 70,000 users were affected, with images of IDs, selfies, user names, IP addresses and, in some cases, financial details.

Hackers are posting screenshots from over 1.5 terabytes of stolen data.

"The internet age-verification craze that’s sweeping the nation isn’t really about protecting little Dick and Jane from Pornhub—it’s about giving government and companies the power to decide what’s “harmful” and rolling back all Americans’ rights, especially those of LGBTQ+ people."

The federal government is characterizing *federally approved* LGBTQ+ groups as "sexually explicit" and using it to purge anyone who is queer or trans.

Abominable.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Feb 25

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

Alt text: A tweet from Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) posted at 5:00 PM on February 25, 2025. The tweet states that Tulsi Gabbard is preparing a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees who participated in the NSA’s "obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit" chatrooms. The memo also calls for terminating their employment and revoking their security clearances, with a deadline set for Friday. The tweet has 254.7K views, 397 replies, 3K retweets, 12K likes, and 335 bookmarks.

This is not a drill. They’re now proposing a bill in Oklahoma where making, owning or possessing porn means 10 years in jail.

Oklahoma Senator Dusty Deevers introduced SB593, bill to criminalize p*rn in the state of Oklahoma. Calling porn an addictive “drug”
Per @mikestabile.bsky.social

Excerpt from the bill shows. It reads The bill also prohibits pornography in general, providing for criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison for production, distribution, or possession. It also provides heightened 10-to-30-year criminal penalties for organized pornography trafficking. "Pornography is both degenerate material and a highly addictive drug," Deevers said. "It ruins marriages, ruins lives, destroys innocence, warps young people's perception of the opposite sex, turns women into objects, turns men into objects, degrades human dignity, and corrodes the moral fabric of society. Any decent society will stand against this plague with the full weight of the law?"

"Gays against PrEP" is like women against birth control and detransitioners against transition. Useful loudmouths to amplify in a social and legal climate of bodily autonomy being stripped from the people.

My favorite pieces from 2024

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young adults in their early 20s at a hot summer night out in their NYC neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran leans down to kiss him

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as teenagers sitting in front of a basketball court on a warm early summer day. Behind them an overhead subway track and the city skyline

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao in a bodega solving crossword puzzles together. It’s a top view like from a security camera, looking down on them. It’s late at night and the bodega is empty besides them and the bodega cat. Two is sitting on the counter while Aran sits on a chair behind the counter. 🏀🦀
