Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI
SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 3h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665
If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
404 Media@404media.co · 24h agoMike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.
Please I can't emphasize how colon cancer has become the #1 cause of cancer related death among young adults. Get checked, like the comic says the prep days absolutely suck but its worth the peace of mind.
Cat Farris@cattifer.bsky.social · yesterdayRemember back in March when I did hourly comic day but for my colonoscopy prep? Well, the fine folks at @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social asked me to reprise it for their site and it's up today! Go check it out! Now in color and with more info! www.ohjoysextoy.com/adventures-i...

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
Time to vote! If you are voting today, make sure your ballot gets to a BALLOT BOX BEFORE 8PM. I repeat, if you are a WA voter make sure your ballot is IN a BALLOT BOX by 8PM.
Hannah Krieg@hannahkrieg.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Young people are on the ballot this election, but can we please get young people to the ballot BOX? So far, King County voters 65+ account for 4 times as many ballots as people under 35. You have until 8pm Tuesday to close that gap!
Also wanted to give y'all an update on a thing. While I'm still figuring stuff out for an online storefront, a perpetually-open order form specifically for Base Model gear (and maybe leashes) is in the works. You'll get to choose from the usual selection of colors, threads, & metal options ->
What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/
Defend Online Privacy: Stop the SCREEN Act!

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d ago"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."
The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
cancelled my turbo sub and wrote the likelihood of this happening as the reason why. Much like Discord, they won't care how much we yell unless it hits their bottom line.

It's been a bit since I last shared some wip shots! Here's a few peeks at some of the inventory pieces I've been working on the last few weeks between custom orders~
This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping
Zachary Berger@zacharyberger.bsky.social · 2mo agoBlack Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/
