Oh wow, my first BlueSky post (tweet?skeet?) and it's about Rob Curley.
If you, or a friend of yours, is an immigrant journalist and need help navigating visas and such - DM me.
There's a small group of us that have been helping folks around these issues the past couple of years.

I don't know who needs to hear this; please don't ask people in public/group settings if they have kids. It happens a lot. Today I said no. But it hurts like hell because all you want to say is, none that made it to term, so you can hold onto every precious memory of the happiest times in your life.

there is no such thing as "age verification."
All "age verification" is actually "identity verification."
You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper.
But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware.
Period.

I have a number of hobby horses but one of them is “name matching sucks” and if you disagree it’s because you’ve never tried to use names as an identifier
Birthdate and name matches are causing US Citizens to get arrested in error by ICE as they board airplanes.
This is the same level of rigor they're bringing to claims of fraudulent voting, and is obvious as an error-prone method to anyone who has taken an introductory stats class.
