SCREEN 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!

Alison Boden@alisonboden.bsky.social · 13h ago

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

África es protagonista en nuestro N2. En él el historiador @ericmoral.bsky.social nos propone un interesantísimo recorrido sobre su historia y cultura, al mismo tiempo que nos sitúa en la corriente africanista de la Ciencia Ficción y la Fantasía. Más del N2 aquí: bit.ly/3pbQgmt

The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.

Abusive men aren't abusive because of testosterone, because I have a male level of testosterone in my body and I don't do that shit. It made me calmer. Abusive men are abusive because they were taught to be, and rewarded for it. By blaming T, you ignore the actual cause and its actual solutions.

How often should you post your comic? There's no Magic Number. Instead, I suggest FCS. Find an update schedule that enables you to post as Frequently as possible while maintaining Consistency (in quality and in schedule) and keeping each update Significant.

This is anecdotal but I've been told I'm in the wrong restrooms in the uk last year, which has never happened before (I just stared, and it was fortunately not confrontational)

The EHRC's Code of Practice has been condemned as a "system of segregation", "impractical and inhumane", and even "genocidal in nature" It comes into force today

Lotte Reiniger's silhouette animation in THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED (1926), the earliest surviving full-length animated feature. Her attention to detail was stunning, note the wobble of the chess piece.

Looking forward to Washington voting this into the pits of Hell. Know before you #vote. The language in this measure is so incredibly "insecure & petty parent who can't stand that their kid didn't make podium." Repeatedly with this party, if you have to change a law to win... 😣

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

Our feature tutorial/artist today is this page of notes on how FINGER MOVEMENTS connect, by the talented @kato_anatomy - showing how moving ONE will affect the OTHERS, often DRAWING THEM IN, or PULLING THEM DOWN. Understanding this INTERCONNECTION will improve your HAND POSES!

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

More book club scam emails, which reminds me I've been slacking on promo. So let me put this into the ether: Audiofuturism will be eligible for a Best Related Work Hugo in 2027. This year's nominees are *stunning* & I would love to be one someday. So I hope you'll read it. bit.ly/audiofuturism

You’ve helped us raise over 80k for laid off gamedevs in need so far, and we still have plenty of time left in the bundle’s drive. Everyone who organized this effort was doing so on their own time for the benefit of others. If these companies wanted to, they would. They don’t. We do. Join us. ✊

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
