amongst other protections, such as those guaranteeing education, sexual and reproductive healthcare, and decent employment, the code includes protection for queer and intersex youth:

It prohibits discrimination against children and adolescents on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics. It also prohibits surgeries on intersex youth without their informed consent, except in cases where the child’s health or life is at risk. Intersexuality refers to variations in sexual characteristics, where a person does not fit neatly into binary definitions of “male” or “female.” In many parts of the world, including the United States, intersex infants and children are given non-consensual genital operations to make their bodies conform to binary expectations about what a male or female body should look like. These surgeries often pose much higher risks than the variations themselves, which are typically harmless. The Code includes the right for young people to make informed decisions about their bodies and their sexual and reproductive lives, and affirms the right to education, including comprehensive sex education, to enable young people to responsibly exercise those rights.

The Code details creating new ways for young people to report violations directly, as well as ensuring follow up from the state so that reported cases don’t disappear into an inaccessible legal void — the experience of many in the United States who report domestic or sexual abuse.

so here's what I've now done to make the internet usable as a person living in the UK without handing my ID and/or facial scans over to random third parties:

signed up for a ProtonVPN account

set up a tunnel from my router to a ProtonVPN server in Sweden

written a python script to query DNS servers for social media domains every 15 minutes and collate the results into a list of IP address ranges

created routing and firewall policies to block connections to those IP ranges on my normal connection and send them through the VPN tunnel instead

set up a second, personal VPN so I can make my mobile devices connect to the internet through my home network even when I'm not at home

now it's time to open source this whole thing so others can enjoy using the internet the same way they did three weeks ago

Call me whatever names you wish, but I think this is a much better (and healthier) attitude than “anyone under 18 should never be allowed to see any sexual imagery ever”

(For reference: this was at the Tom of Finland exhibition, containing actual, queer, kinky af pornography. There were definitely some young people there, perhaps in their late teens. There was even a parent with their baby who was probably too young to understand anything at all. And guess what, all those people are probably going to be fine.)

[ID: a sign saying “Please note: there is no age limit, but the exhibition is not recommended for children due to the explicit sexual imagery it contains. Parental or guardian discretion is advised.”]

My spouse and I are both disabled, queer, and native. We avoided one eviction but the possibility of another one is close. We need rent paid ASAP. Any help is appreciated. Rent with late fees is $2200.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

Not too long ago my mom and I were talking about concerts and she reminded me of the Stevie Nicks + Pretenders concert we saw and since the Pretenders opened, when the band came out on stage, particularly Chrissie Hynde, my mom was like nudging me in the shoulder hard and saying "Oh my god, it's Chrissie Hynde!!!" and it was so funny because we were really there to see Stevie, but my mom could apparently not contain her random excitement about seeing Chrissie in the flesh. LOL

love the library. there's no risk. you can take out a book and go "wow this sucks" and just give it back. and when you do that you're still making the library's Number Go Up so you'll be able to roll the dice on even more books. all for the low low price of free/you already paid for it with your tax money so you might as well use it
