Seriously though, sex workers are the front lines. We gotta support them.

Might someone be so kind as to explain the context behind this?
John waters is a subversive comedian/writer/director known for pushing the envelope and putting some shocking things on film, like a drag queen eating feces and Hairspray
I saw Cry Baby and loved it, and thought "Pink Flamingos is so famous, it must be great too!" I was disturbed. At what point are you just pushing the envelope for pushing the envelope's sake? Or was that just a documentary about Baltimore
The envelope only exists to be pushed.
And licked.
No idea what the quote is from or if it's true, a reverse image search led me to this as the oldest reference talking about online censorship.
How can a man named after water be so based
Only aqueous solutions can be basic or acidic, so it makes sense to me.
Nah, with Brønsted-Lowry bases/acids (although actually even then there are nonaqueous protic solvents which can be acidic, and various hydroxides which will dissociate in other solvents than water, so it's not strictly true) that idea is good enough for high school chem. But Lewis acids/bases can be in any kind of solvent, or even solid or gas.
[Case in point] SESTA and FOSTA which created carve-outs of [Section 230] for Human Trafficking, which killed human trafficking ads on Backpage.
Except it didn't. [Backpage] was busted before the law was passed. Despite that they were actively cooperating with law enforcement to track higher-rank mobsters.
And then, traffickers returned to the streets and are now more active than ever.
In the meantime sex worker networking suffered since platforms closed down forums where violent and manipulative johns are reported. So the whole sex work industry suffered.
And because the social media platforms are chilled, some won't host LGBT+ support.
All for the kids, who are worse off since sex ed materials are also struggling to find tolerant hosts.
Edit: Stupid mobile typos
the porn industry has always been weirdly progressive, i'm not really sure why, or what for, i assume money though. It's usually money.
Sexual liberation is associated with progressive policy, porn makers benefit from the end of puritanical thought.
