I am seeking a volunteer to manage a particular multimedia MAP activism project. This volunteer would be tasked with: Familiarizing themselves with and sharing the vision for this project. Building and managing a team comprised of many people and jobs that can advance the project forward. Having a basic understanding of the tools and methods
I can’t believe I even have to say this. Apparently, some of you have been taking words of my blog posts, and twisting it to fit your narrative. Re: How can such evil exist? People on the fediverse have the audacity to say that I support Israel’s genocide in Gaza. What the actual fuck? I
The Mirror Project was created to archive and preserve MAP history. Unfortunately, I’m involved in so many projects, and haven’t had much time to devote toward adding content. I am seeking a volunteer to help procure content for The Mirror Project. You would be tasked with: Finding notable MAP-related content on the internet If necessary, obtaining required permissions from the
I recently received an unsolicited message asking if I would like to be interviewed about being a minor-attracted person.

With all the negativity in this world that affects children, I feel so powerless to change anything. That’s why I’ve started the “I Stand With Children” campaign. I was originally inspired to do this because of the war between Israel and Hamas, and all the innocent people caught in the crossfire… I can’t take sides,
I shared the poll about youth charities with a few MAP sites I frequent and got a lot of mixed reaction. I have received a few votes for organizations. I also received some negative feedback about these organizations, saying they’re anti-MAP (claims I haven’t verified). A few people are suggesting non-children’s charities. I had one
I’m awake, when I should be in bed asleep. I’m just gonna brainstorm rant in the open here. It’s not directed at anyone, or any specific group. This community (the whole MAP community, not just fedi, or specific forums) has a problem with activism, or a lack thereof. People are content with the fact that
October 11 is International Day of the Girl Child, On this day we should honor the girls we love, and remember the struggles that girls face, like bullying, body image issues, hunger, poverty, neglect, abuse, and sexual assault. We should also recognize that girls in other parts of the world face even more issues, such
