Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, OTR… et autant de protocoles de messagerie quasi instantanée, de modèles de sécurité et de protocoles cryptographiques : lesquels choisir ? Et si la solution idéale n’était pas dans la liste précédente ? Cet article évoque les limites de plusieurs de ces solutions, et présente le cœur cryptographique de Signal, WhatsApp et du protocole OMEMO. Il met finalement en exergue, par une analyse comparative, certaines limites de Signal et des qualités d’OMEMO.
We each bring our individual sparkle to video gatherings. So, make a commitment to let your advocacy shine during Zooms with friends and family! Support the movement for bodily autonomy by illuminating your next video chat with insights about the state of sex education in America.
We know — starting a conversation with your family (or with anyone over video) can seem awkward. Don’t worry! We’ve got 8 tips to sail through the convo.
Tip #1: Get the conversation going in a way that’s welcoming.
If you’re at a virtual hangout, share how important education is to you. Encourage each person to share the topic they believe is essential for young people to learn.
When the time is right, say something like: “For me, sex education is one of the most important forms of education a young person can have today.”
Tip #2: Take Time for Q&A
Ask the adults:
“What do you remember about your own sex education?”
“If you received sex education, what would have made it more helpful?
“If you have kids, how would you like sex education to be taught to them?”
Ask any young people on the call: “Do you have thoughts about or experiences with sex education that you feel comfortable sharing?”
Ask everyone: “Would you like to hear some facts about sex education and where we are as a country with it?” If people seem engaged, then move to Tip #3.
Tip #3: Explain what sex education is and why it’s important to talk about.
Sex education is more than just putting condoms on bananas. It’s even beyond sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and avoiding unintended pregnancy! Sex education is a foundation for our development as people.
Sex education helps young people make healthy decisions about their bodies, relationships, and how they express their gender and sexuality — without fear or shame.
Sex education covers a wide range of age-appropriate topics, such as:
Physical dimensions of sexuality, like puberty, pregnancy, and STIs
Emotional dimensions of sexuality, such as feelings of connection and self-esteem
Identity and sense of self, including gender identity and personal values
Healthy relationships, including platonic relationships, intimate relationships, and dating
Communicating boundaries, including both listening and speaking up
Tip #4: Drop some knowledge about the benefits of and public support for sex education in America.
The benefits: Sex education is proven to increase safer sex and help young people prevent unintended pregnancy. It’s also linked to reducing transphobia,homophobia, and sexual assault.
The support: Public opinion overwhelmingly supports sex education across geographic and political lines. Among parents of middle and high school students, over 80% believe sex education is important for middle schoolers, and 98% believe it’s important for high schoolers.
The problem: Too few young people get the sex education they need and deserve.
Tip #5: Explain what’s getting in the way of sex education at the state level.
Almost every state has some guidance on how and when sex education should be taught, but decisions are often left up to individual school districts.
That means state and local politicians decide whether or not educators can discuss birth control; how educators can talk about LGBTQ+ experiences (if at all); and how much educators must stress abstinence until marriage.
Only 30 states and the District of Columbia mandate sex education. But just because a state mandates sex education doesn’t mean that it’s good or comprehensive! Of the states that mandate sex education, very few have high-quality standards:
Only 20 states and DC require information about contraception.
Just 17 states require what’s taught to be medically accurate.
Merely 11 states require sex education to have LGBTQ+ content and inclusive language.
Tip #6: Explain the problems with abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.
Abstinence-only programs:
Focus on deterring students from having sex, often by scare tactics and withholding information
Often blame survivors for their own sexual assaults and ignore the needs of LGBTQ+ teens
Leave a population of sexually active people uninformed and vulnerable
Studies show that abstinence-only programs are ineffective — they don’t decrease STI or unintended pregnancy rates.
Studies also show that abstinence-only programs are harmful — they reinforce damaging gender stereotypes, stigmatize or exclude gender nonconforming people, and violate a basic human right of young people to access accurate health information.
Despite all this, Congress poured $2.1 billion taxpayer dollars into abstinence-only-until-marriage programs between 1996 and 2018.
Tip #7: Say what people can do to help.
Encourage your friends and family to share local and national news about sex education on social media, along with what they may have learned in this conversation.
You can also encourage people to contact their members of Congress and advocate for sex education, such as by:
Ending federal funding for programs that promote abstinence-only-until-marriage, gender stereotypes, and medically inaccurate information
Supporting initiatives that promote sex education and access to sexual health services for young people — like the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, the Personal Responsibility Education Program, and the Real Education for Healthy Youth Act
Tip #8: Thank everyone for having the conversation with you.
Express heartfelt gratitude for each person who joined in the conversation, and any person who just listened.
Whether the conversation was challenging or a breeze, remember this: It could be a gateway to other meaningful interactions about issues you care about.
Pat yourself on the back for taking this big step!

Do you guys know some hymns from the tip of your tongue? I guess I know the ones to Hecate, Hestia, Apollon and the Mousai nowadays. It’s always a fun exercise to try and learn to sing them!
i’mthis close from having the orphic hymn to hermes memorized. other than that it’s just the modern prayers that i say daily that are drilled into my brain lol
It is possible to have nuanced and productive conversations online in text-based interactions.
Some of the skills that are important online overlap with the skills that are important offline, eg:
Making sure that you’re understanding someone correctly and that you’re understanding them correctly (some of the mechanisms are different, but the need to remember to do it is the same).
Remembering that no one knows everything, including you.
Remembering that you can decide who you want to talk to, and that you don’t have to have intense conversations with everyone who pays attention to you.
Keeping in mind that the person you’re talking to is also a real person.
Some skills that can be useful in person don’t work online, for instance:
Paying attention to other people’s body language can be useful in person, but online no one can see body language.
Expressing your thoughts through body language can be useful in person, but online no one can see body language.
Making or faking eye contact can be a useful way of signaling respect or attention in person, but it doesn’t work online. (It’s not always useful or possible in person either, it just can be sometimes for some people.)
Paying attention to tones of voice can be useful in person, but tones of voice aren’t available in text in the same way. (There are other ways to convey tone online though.)
In person, clothes or physical space can sometimes express certain things about what kind of conversation it is. Online, this is much less possible even if you post pictures.
(A caveat: I’m mentioning these skills because they are things that a lot of people rely on heavily, but none of them are universally useful or universally possible. For instance, sometimes eye contact can make it impossible to have a conversation.)
Some of the skills used for online conversations are different from the skills used in person, for instance:
Making good guesses about which publicly-viewable conversations your input is and is not welcome in.
Tl;dr: Having good conversations on the internet is very possible, but some of the skills are different from the skills of in-person conversations. It can be a learning curve, especially at first — and it helps to keep in mind that it’s possible.
Almost every time another Black man is murdered, I think about when the Harvey police pulled my son over and pointed their guns in his face! He had done nothing wrong. He had just left Ingalls from visiting his dad after his dad’s surgery.
I think about how they could’ve murdered my son for nothing!! We would’ve probably never found out what really happened because folks were not recording…

Best Mercury Signs To Have Deep Conversations With
Virgo
When it comes to deep conversations, Virgo is always down to have them. A Virgo mercuries mind is always filled with many thoughts, it’s very opinionated and having deep conversations is one thing they would love since it allows them to express their opinions on certain topics. Virgo being mutable is great for deep conversations, because it allows them to be able to have a deep conversation on almost everything! they are always naturally prepared. Virgo mercury may stutter a bit or get nervous from time to time, but they always get their point across. Their intellect is striking and most of all they’re great listeners.
Aquarius
Oh Aquarius, you expected to see your sign on here didn’t you? Well it’s no suprise, as a sign who’s extremely creative and interested in deep topics in the first place. Deep conversation makes your heart jump, and makes your mind happpy. Having a deep conversation with an Aquarius would last long, and it’ll always be interesting. Aquarius mercury always has something to stir the conversation up, and since they’re intelligent it wont sound like random words falling all over the place. Aquarius mercury can see things from different perspectives making it easier to have a deep conversation with someone who has different theories than you.
Scorpio
This mercury sign is rather intense and already deep natured, so it’s natural that they would be good during a deep conversation. Scorpio mercury is very passionate, and loves a challange. So discussing different opinions on the same topic they would enjoy the most. Scorpio mercury being very observational and skeptical, and intriguing another person can make a conversation go on for hours and hours, making it intense but interesting at the same time. Scorpio mercury can be a great conversationalist, but only if you can tolerate them.
