You know you’re not trying to sext about a duck. But why doesn’t your phone?:

“[A]utocorrect’s unwillingness to recognize sex-related language is the result of software programmed under the assumption that such language is bad, unwanted, and that your use of said language, even if by mistake, would be so embarrassing that your keyboard must be programmed to avoid such an error.

Autocorrect algorithms, in particular, are praised for their ability to know our language, know our language habits, and be able to predict what it is we want to say. But when they disallow us from swearing or refuse to acknowledge that “vagina,” or “sex” might actually be what we intended to type, they are correcting our language, too.”

Annie Liontas writes about sex with a brain injury at Gay Mag:

“Sex on an average day was about dropping into your own skin while you sink into your lover’s. Sex gave me a confidence I usually admired in an actor who walks breezily out onto the stage. MDMA was boring. But after the injury, out of the bend of my mind, a new animal self emerges, cannot tell time, sees only shadow and light, touch as refraction.

Some nights, it’s the anxiety — the ankle bracelet of any brain injury — that makes all contact out of the question. How many are afraid to say they are afraid of sex? That it will hurt even as we ache for it?”

What if lawmakers actually start to listen to the sex workers their legislation affects?:

Activists have been sounding the alarm against bills like this long before FOSTA came to a vote. Yet D’Adamo and other activists have consistently struggled to make congressional staffers believe how harmful they knew FOSTA (and its Senate equivalent, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, or SESTA) could be on a mass scale — something Lee, Khanna, and Pressley seemed to understand.

‘Hearing a congressperson not only say, ‘I believe you,’ but say, ‘I believe you and I want to actually step up and do something,’ that is the game-changing conversation,’ D’Adamo said.”
