#PSA: posting someone else's nudes without their consent is fucked up, and also illegal.

- it doesn't matter if you "don't own these images" —I already guessed you weren't a collective of teen girls or their agent.

- it doesn't matter if you "found them online" —they weren't your fucking photos to share.

- it doesn't matter if I can "message you to have a photo removed" —see point #2, asshole.

Not only are these porn reposting accounts *nonconsensually* using the bodies of (mostly) young women to earn themselves fake internet points, they're also (in many places) breaking existing anti-revenge-porn laws. It should also be pointed out that, because the photos are stolen, they have no reasonable assurance of the subject's age, so it's entirely possible they're also posting child porn—and ignorance of the subject's age isn't a defense.

---

So help make Fedi safer for femme-presenting folx and for responsible sex-work. Stop these shitty porn repost accounts that profit off of other people's bodies. Call them out. Report them. Get them suspended.

(but please don't dogpile or attack them—there's still a person in there somewhere, and with any luck they're redeemable)

#PornRequiresConsent

I've been backing up our collection of commercial DVDs with dvdbackup, and have discovered something which seems worthy of a #PSA:

Back up your DVDs!

...because yes, DVDs do go bad (some of them), even just sitting unused. Usually you can see a lacuna or semicircular dark-streak, but sometimes its completely invisible. (I'll post some images later. update: images posted in reply)

This may have only happened to ours because they existed through a very damp summer when all the walls got mildew on them and (consequently) some of the DVDs did too (mainly those that had been opened and handled), but the mildew wipes off; this is under the plastic, so it could just be the metal substrate going bad regardless of environmental conditions.

If you see something, say something! Call them out and make sure they hear you!

- "Hey! I like your shoes!"
- "Thank you for opening that jar for me!"
- "I'm glad you're here!"
- "Do you need a hug??"
- "The world is better because I know you're in it!"
- "Your hair looks great!"
- "Daamn! Have you been working out?"
- "I hope you have a lovely day!"

You never know which act of kindness will make all the difference to someone, so take every opportunity to be kind. Your kind words today may be why they're still around tomorrow.

Also, it's a great way to make friends.

#PSA: remember this holiday season that you don't have to buy *new* shit for folx. Hell, you don't *have* to buy anything.

- hit up a thrift store
- make something for someone
- upcycle
- trade with someone
- skill swap
- join a local buy nothing group
- give something away
- just spend time with someone
- pirate something
- do that one thing your partner really likes
- message someone on Signal to tell them how much you appreciate them
- just be you—that's enough 💝

Someone commented on a furry-adjacent photo of mine, which prompted me to search Mastodon for "from:me furry". I hope y'all enjoy the reboosted "furry Alice" posts 😂

Also, #PSA: Mastodon has some powerful advanced search features. The one I use most is "from:me [keyword]" or "to:me [keyword]".
