Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again

i think the schedule has been dated

everyone, WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING TO DO THIS

USE THIS WEBSITE TO CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND VOTE NO ON THIS (if there’s a vote which idk yet), WE CAN DESTROY KIDS ONLINE SAFETY BILLS LIKE WE DID BEFORE!!

Online ID laws, KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and reforming Section 230 would be harmful for everyone in the US, but especially marginalized people, including disabled people.

it’s time so kill KOSA again 🫩

I’m tired too but call your senators. use 5Calls. call after hours if you prefer. leave your address so they can tally your call. we must remain vigilant.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

please to not give in to despair. if you want to start somewhere you can help, a donation to Doctors Without Borders is a great place to start

fucking hello? did i get rate limited or is bluesky shitting the bed. i sent a reply to an oomf but its not showing up

i have a solution that might require a bit of setup - you could make an acg goods store! theyre run by wooacry, do shipping and handling for you, and have a lot of options for merchandise making. though im not sure how faithfully you can recreate your charms since i think that was through vograce

Trans rights are human rights. Their existence causes no harm and their deserving of dignity is not a debate.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

In the background are several photos hanging on the window. On the table are various sweets and teas, with Dal holding a cup of tea while on the table on Serena's side is an iced tea.

This took SO long y'all 😭 I completely underestimated how ambitious this was for me but better late than never I suppose...

General PSA if you're seeing this from the Discover feed and you're one of those people who hates what's on your feed:

Stop using Discover. Seriously. Go to the # in the upper right and find stuff you like, then follow those people and use the Following feed.

You will have a better time.

Getting Global Age Assurance Right: What We Got Wrong and What's Changing Discord's CTO addresses community concerns about age assurance: no mass ID collection, new vendor transparency commitments, and a delayed global launch until second half of 2026.

"So yea we got caught trying to take advantage of you again.

We'll let it go for now but hopefully in 6 months you'll forget so we can sneak it back in after everyone has forgotten!"

They are not the first company to do this exact same song and dance and they will not be the last.

NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more

Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Twitch already needs your financial details to pay you, so they don't even have the bullshit excuse of needing to know who you are, they already do. So this one is just plainly "we want to steal your ID and biometrics" with no attempt at excusing it.

Ramadan has started, and the World Central Kitchen has a program to distribute food aid to people in Gaza. Each kit for Ramadan contains nearly 30 pounds of halal—enough for up to 70 meals. If you have spare funds, please consider a donation of $60 to assist the people still struggling in Gaza.

toootally. i definitely believe you. 🔆

Honestly this is part of why I quit using Twitter and why I’ve been using BlueSky less.

When there are so many people following our show, it means a exposing myself to a lot of messages, good and bad.

It’s unhealthy and unfeasible to interact with so many people I don’t know and don’t know me.

Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully.

In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.

So OpenAI had the ability to potentially have stopped one of the worst mass shootings in my country in YEARS, they were warned BY THEIR OWN STAFF, and chose to do NOTHING to save face for their misinformation snake-oil machine. Genuinely. Fucking. Ghoulish.
