It bears repeating that 5calls.org makes it incredibly easy to contact your reps. They give you the phone numbers, a script to read, and a run down of what is happening with each issue. I just called my senators in my pjs half awake and I'll probably do it some more later

weird analogy but game dev is like sex work in that the market is shifting from a state where many people basically made an ok living to a handful of people making millions and 99% of people making nothing while the real winners are the owners of platforms extracting rents at every level

we have to keep up the pressure on these bills. I'm calling again today and will be continuing to call until these bills are dead.

a lot of these reps get spooked by even a few dozen calls or letters on an issue. sustained pressure can make many of them bend the knee. keep calling and writing.

so, this is that. KOSA, SCREEN, internet obscenity definition act—whatever you call it—this is where trans people are declared inherently obscene.

can they do that? trans troops were just kicked out of the armed forces for being inherently deceitful & dishonorable, so probably! unless people fight.

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.

"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

this canon AND in the regretevator update tmr! :3

VERYYY small S.C.A.G. #Regretevator preview

I've seen a lot of posts incorrectly say you have to call your reps about the SCREEN Act. while the Screen Act is definitely worth calling about, that is not what is being brought before the Senate on thursday

What you need to call your reps about is the "S.5260 Interstate Obscenity Definition Act"

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

it is now illegal to update apps. Any developer wanting to update their app will have to argue the mechanical necessity of the change before a panel of linux nerds. They can do this once per 24 months.

«Es ist schrecklich»: Deutscher Tourist wollte mit einem Esta über Mexiko in die USA einreisen – jetzt sitzt er in Abschiebehaft Der Deutsche Lucas Sielaff befindet sich in US-Abschiebehaft. Er wollte mit einem Esta einreisen. Es ist der zweite Fall dieser Art innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Seine Verlobte äussert sich besorgt.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.

It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.

The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore
