  1. Thank you New Mexico, for giving Meta an excuse to roll out this system.

    I'm sure it is backed by independent research and is highly accurate. Right? Just like how other age estimation systems are highly accurate?

    Also, as I have said before, I think kids should be allowed on social media because the benefits clearly outweigh the harms.

  2. draftcounseling.org/dc201.htm

    You are invited to Draft Counseling 201, the second session of a series of trainings to equip ordinary people to be ready to provide assistance to people in the US in the event of a draft (military conscription).

    This training is happening live at Joy Mennonite Church, 504 NE 16th St, Oklahoma City, but also live via Zoom (and later it will be available in recorded form).

    Please share widely.

  4. Meta’nın gizli raporları sızdı. Genç kullanıcıların zararları ve yasal riskler aydınlık oldu. Dava süreci devam ediyor. Şeffaflık ve veri koruması konularının kritik olduğu bir dönemdeyiz.

  5. When we refer to child marriage, it includes both minors marrying adults and two young teens tying the knot.

    An estimation suggests that only 14% of over 200,000 minors married from 2000-2015 were wedded to fellow minors.

  6. A century ago, Louis Hine's photography helped spark outrage against child labor, leading to landmark protections. Today, those hard-won protections are under attack. Read how Project2025 is rolling back child labor laws: 'Exploiting the Innocent: Child Labor's Grim Comeback.' forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/ #ChildLabor #YouthRights #SocialJustice #Project2025 #LaborRights #Exploitation #HumanRights #ProtectOurKids #history #histodons

    Tip for getting stuff like this out on Mastodon --- use more hashtags, especially for cities and states. Mastodon's searching function is pretty weak. It can be annoying but throwing in #HashTags can help to get a bigger readership, especially on topics like #Conscription.

    And speaking of that: for folks in #California or who follow the #CALeg , please be sure and read the original post about an opportunity for action for #Californians who care about #Peace and #YouthRights.

  8. Anyone who knows me well knows that child autonomy is extremely important to me.

    Stumbled across this article while enjoying my morning coffee. This book, as well as Peter Gray's "Free to Learn" were instrumental in opening my own eyes to so much.

    I rarely talk about this stuff on my general socials, but I felt the need to share. I'll also link to both "How Children Learn," As well as "Free to Learn," which as I said are excellent and must-read titles for anyone who follows youth rights or believes in unschooling, or simply wishes to learn how to be a better ally to children.

  13. ‘Unconstitutional’ US anti-FGM law exposes hypocrisy in child protection
    by Brain D. Earp, PhD

    "In the last few years, some have begun to argue that “ritual nicking” and even neonatal labiaplasty should indeed be tolerated in Western societies. ...To put it bluntly, the goal of these arguments seems to be to create a buffer of protection around male circumcision by throwing female children under the bus."

  14. “From legalized abuse, to draconian treatment in the justice system, to their lack of suffrage, America loves the authoritarian mollycoddling of its children.”

  15. 📖 📚 📖
    If anyone is unable to get a copy of a book that has been banned by their local/school library, I personally volunteer to help find you an electronic copy.
    📚 📖 📚

    No one should be restricted from reading something because it acknowledges a person's experience or existence— whether because of race, gender, sexuality, or whatever. My ask is that you keep any copies I give you to help distribute to others.

    @ me directly if you need help finding anything.

    In the mean time, consider archiving and reading these books, and books like them: ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/freque

    ...and donating to The Merritt Fund to help librarians whose jobs and funding are threatened: ala.org/aboutala/affiliates/re

  17. Katie Baker, big-brained fancy columnist yesterday: "this is all so complicated and confusing, should we really trust a child's judgement when they say it's not safe to out them to their parents?" (archive.is/L3ryW#selection-485)

    Me, a common mountain oaf, last year: "yes" (c4ss.org/content/56704)
