COMMS OPEN!!

Starting January 1, 2026, Texas will require age verification to download ANY app, including weather and sports apps—thanks to SB2420. Apple and Google are warning this destroys user privacy, similar laws are coming to Utah and Louisiana, and there's a federal bill to make it nationwide. I break down what this law actually does, why it's dangerous for both adults AND children, and what you can do to fight back before it's too late. Update! Big tech is suing Texas now!

Reposttttttt :3

a motivational poster of one of Saejima's big soft cat-looking smiles that says: "Never let an unkind world make you an unkind person".

Saw a post on tumblr that said “Think I need a motivational poster of one of Saejima's big soft cat-looking smiles that says: "Never let an unkind world make you an unkind person".” So I drew this 🖊️🦑

a poster that says mutual aid a voluntary and reciprocal exchange of resources and services Alt: Mutual aid: a voluntary and reciprocal exchange of resources and services for mutual benefit where people take responsibility for caring for one another and changing political conditions.

If you are affected by the government shutdown and your SNAP benefits will be paused, share your mutual aid links below.

Everyone else, boost this post and help folks in the replies.

No one deserves to starve.

on top of a large grain sylo, a character dances like a ballerina, with a wide grin on their face in the colors of the nonbinary flag. In the background, a large anvil is seen in the distance shrouded by clouds, and disappearing into the landscape behind them. TEXT shows saying "MY HEART IS A DRUM OF HOPE & PRIDE" is also present.

"Mabase"

Lil random doodle/practice I did based off a poem I did a short while back.
