I am a former adult sex educator & would also happily contribute to drafting a policy with clearer language that protects ppl who are opposed to any "adult" content and that also protects those who want uncensored options. My concern is that "adult content" restrictions often target queer ppl first

Courtney Milan @courtneymilanWhatever you think of adult content on this site directly, this is not good language, it’s not good policy, and it is extremely fixable. @cbouzy I am happy to help try to come up with a policy that provides clear guidance, meets general aims of external bodies, while preserving necessary discussion.11:55 AM - Feb 19, 2023

Y’all please don’t tell people who are wondering whether this site is going to pull a Tumblr and make it impossible to talk about the thing they do for a living that they’re “just getting mad” because we “want to make controversy.”
No. We’re trying to figure out if we want to invest time here.

Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 authorized the military to incarcerate Japanese Americans in camps like the one at Santa Anita Race Track where Japanese Americans, like 17-year-old Ted Fujioka, were forced to live in barracks and horse stables.

I understand it's incredibly difficult to come up with moderation policies regarding adult content which both protect all users without restricting their speech. The least we can ask for is that #Spoutible is willing to grow and learn from our users and adjust to be more open.

Gonna keep repeating this: Having a child has a 7% regret rate. A knee replacement has anywhere between 6-30% regret. Across all types of surgery, the regret rate is 14%.
Transition and trans-related surgeries have a 1% regret rate. Stop lying, you creepy fuckers.

Pres. Jimmy Carter 1st designated June as Black Music Month in the US in 1979 after an initiative led by iconic producer Kenny Gamble developed the idea. Along with our gratitude for his service, our prayers are with former President Carter and his family now. #ThankYouJimmy #blackmusicproject

Bowerydoll @BowerydollI don't know how many more times it needs to be stressed. Being concerned about Palestine and critical of the Israeli government does NOT make someone antisemitic. It's not about hating Jewish people. It's about despising apartheid oppression. #PanIndigenous

Woke up to some local racist nonsense, I was quoted in a local paper, weighing in professionally, and woke up to a nasty message on FB. Sigh, some people's kids.

That WPS ideology was first used toward Indians by General Sheridan - "the only good Indian is a dead Indian" & "Kill the Indian, save the Man" was Indian Boarding School policy to steal, humiliate & murder Indigenous children. This violence is directed toward anyone who is not WPS.
