Epistemic status: feeling the love
This Valentine's Day, I'm donating the cost of a date night to Family Empowerment Media (FEM) and would love you to join me! 🥰
What better way to celebrate love than promoting family planning to prevent unintended pregnancies?
Family Empowerment Media (FEM) is an evidence-driven nonprofit committed to eliminating maternal deaths and other health burdens from unintended pregnancies. FEM produces and air radio-based social and behavioural change campaigns on family planning to empower women and men who want to delay or prevent pregnancy to consistently use contraception.

Imagine if there was a post encouraging composting on the forum, and Brian Tomasik wrote a comment pointing out that well-meaning efforts to compost can potentially be quite harmful, under moral views where we care about insects.
And then someone replied to Brian's comment, "Some useful context is that Brian is the guy who wrote that post saying EAs should actually care about bugs!"
Sure, I guess that's relevant, but if I read that reply to Brian, I would read a connotation that "we should ignore this guy, because has different values on moral circle expansion than we do". (Not saying this is your actual intention, but I feel that it could be read that way.)
