KOSA dropping duty of care is great but this article buries a very important lede:

A bill package will be introduced once the govt reopens that is a collection of multiple bad "child safety" bills, COPPA 2.0, the Sammy Act, and the App Store Accountability Act [age verification]

CALL YOUR REPS

If you’ve fallen off on calling the paypros, I 100% get it, it can be tedious at times. But right now we’re able to place FAR more pressure on them than we were able to when this started. Show them that we’re not giving up, that they can’t ignore this. They will bend, just hold strong.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

NGL I think the inflatable costumes are pretty fantastic in terms of making the feds look like absolute coward morons, which is absolutely what we want because that's what they are

Lot harder for ICE to make their stupid fuckin Nazi propaganda when they're trying to tackle a frog than a grandma

i can’t tell if the video here is a non sequitur or a call to action

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

OH SHIT TRUE

imagine if those cards are the reason tenna can do the shit with the screen splitting and such

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

at least 200.

I've said it before but esp in today's age I think it's important for artists to post WIPs and failed sketches too, just cause I think it's good for people to understand that it's not magical or talent but just work and something anyone can do.

gaster deniers be like "umm uuhhhh he's just fucking around guys. this literally doesn't mean anything whatsoever just like everything else he does because it's not in the game. what do you mean not being in the game is the whole point he's clearly just cut content"

Why inclusion is necessary in mapping/signage/wayfinding.

‘Experts’ Cited By RFK Jr. to Justify mRNA Vaccine Funding Cut Have Ties to Anti-vax Supplement Company Four authors of the non-peer reviewed, anti-vax bibliography cited by Kennedy’s HHS are involved with The Wellness Company.

Let me get this straight: RFK Jr’s $500m cut to mRNA contracts was based on a non‑peer‑reviewed, self‑published, anti-vax bibliography authored by his cronies who are all tied to a ‘vaccine detox’ supplement company? Got it 👍

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

not updated on current events guy: wow i mean uh. love is love i guess. you do you. and your freezer i guess

My case is supposedly being escalated again, though I do not expect to hear anything back. Surprisingly, Mastercard reps were much more receptive than Visa reps.

Don't let up. Remind them each time that they are obstructing people's livelihoods and participating in censorship and bigotry.

They aren't even willing to let you speak at this point. They will just continue reading so they can get you off the phone.

They are definitely tired of this... but we need to show them the only way out is to clean up their policy.

Visa is now actively shutting down calls regarding their censorship and prohibition of the sale of legal product.

They clearly retrained their staff on how to deal with our calls. That doesn't happen unless there's critical mass.

KEEP IT UP. They are trying to turf the calls as fast as they can.

To be clear, no information was provided to me. I provided THEM the information a week ago when I called. He then proceeded to hang up on me.

I called back. The person I spoke to read a script from me that was filled with lies, including "We process payments for all legal transactions."

I just followed up on my open ticket with Visa regarding their decision to apply undue pressure to Steam and Itch.io over the sale of legal content.

The first person tried again to direct me to email. He refused to get me a supervisor. He said, "We have provided you all the relevant information."

why do we need the NBA when my friend Charles can dunk using a ladder

hey. have you been sitting out on calling payment processors? i get it. phone calls are annoying and difficult for a lot of people. maybe you’ve been putting it off until now. well, i have good news: now is actually a PERFECT time for you to START calling. you are Wave 2!

Not just cis men. Lots of cis women are doing the circuit about how porn addicted men are the problem as if porn is the reason they're misogynist, not their actions

Neopuritanism legit frightens me. We didn't spend decades doing wave after wave of feminism to let weird young men who have been indoctrinated to believe porn addiction is real tear it all down.
