This sounds like an excellent event for folks who are new to the age verifiable debate and not yet convinced that these laws are as harmful as they really are!
Join us on January 15th for our next EFFecting Change livestream as we break down how age verification laws work, who they exclude, and how these mandates threaten privacy and free expression for people of all ages. The conversation will be followed by a live Q&A. www.eff.org/event/effec...

Dear universe: please stop making medical emergencies happen for my friends. If you have it to spare: Lane is one of the best and fiercest defense attorneys I know, and his commitment to pro- and low-bono work means a long medical recovery could be really rough for him financially.
Bsky, my pneumonia has taken a bad turn. I may be facing significant medical costs. I’m starting a GoFundMe to help out with medical bills and expenses. Please share if you can.

Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
