Since it's Disability Pride Month, here are reminders for supporters of disabled people: Use Alt text, It helps those with sight disabilities. DON'T SAY THE R-SLUR as it's ableist towards neurodivergent people. Help those in need, as disabled people struggle to meet their needs and find jobs.

I actually do need to be louder about my queerness. I am non-binary, gender-fluid, panromantic and demisexual. I use any pronouns, I default to they. I don’t like being called “man,” but I’m okay with “dude,” “boy,” “girl,” “king,” “queen,” “ser,” “girlie” and of course “bitch.”

Voting will not solve everything. It is not the sole solution. There are no easy solutions to any of these things anymore. But it IS necessary, and we are going to fight for the right to vote for as long as it is being unfairly denied.

Remember folks, if the most notorious child trafficking ring happened under people using their full government names, having to provide yours for every single website doesn't actually keep kids safe.

reject generative ai in EVERY field. in EVERY use. because once you justify using it in one place, you justify using it everywhere. and redefine what you view as art! coding is an art, just as drawing, painting, writing, music making!

The app was built by using Claude. It works by reading your whole document, which is not a process I wish to invite a fucking LLM into. Your proof is in your drafts. This is a barfed-up solution in search of a problem. Or a bunch of scared rubes.

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

Dredgen Sale's Mass Effect Arc@destinythememe.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Well i dont know how long this login session is gonna last but @bsky.app just asked me to do an age verification with personal information. If this happens again i will not attempt to log back in. If i dont post here again let bsky know that i prefer my privacy over this platform.

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

"I don't understand why they all say they're trying to save kids when they are doing things that actively make life more difficult and less safe for kids and also for adults" well they're lying to you, is the thing. they do not want to save kids. they explicitly do not want to do that.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

House passes kids online safety package despite watchdog pushback

The House passed a sprawling package of kids online safety bills Monday night, marking the first time a version of the landmark Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) made it out of the lower chamber. The H…

thehill.com

The KIDS Act has passed the House with 69.5% of the vote (2/3 vote required) and moves to the Senate. With 47 abstentions, this was much closer than expected. The gate's been breached, but the fight is now on. Begin contacting your senators NOW. We'll provide resources ASAP, but don't wait.

ZeldaTheSwordsman (After Dark)@ztsafterdark.bsky.social · 5mo ago

It passed the House 267-117 with 47 abstentions. Disgusting. But the war is not over: it conflicts with the Senate version of KOSA, with multiple Senate democrats objecting to this version and its riders. There is also a minimum of two weeks before the Senate can vote on it.

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

A 「Stop KOSA」 petition is active and offers helpful tips and resources for contacting your representative.

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is another group I believe in. They're also constantly sharing valuable information on socials incl. bsky @eff.org related to digital privacy.

Contacting your representative is probably the most obvious step. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has made this easy with a page that will message your rep for you. It a template you can use as-is or edit freely, and a short form asking for your name, address, and contact info.

Censorship Does Not Keep Kids Safe

KOSA is an alarming bill that would enable censorship and violate young people’s First Amendment right to freely access information. We must call on Congress to act now and protect free speech online.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT KOSA 🧵 KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act) is still alive. If history has taught us anything, blanket censorship poses a very real danger to marginalized peoples including the LGBTQ+ community. It's never about the kids!! Here's a few resources you'll hopefully find helpful.

this is literally the fastest "write your representative" prompt ive seen, please share your thoughts
