Just a silly artist. Pixel art and digital. Ocean/animals/video games! Always SFW. Sometimes I reblog other people's pretty art! I'm also anti-MAGA, anti-fascism, anti-Nazi forever I block porn/fetish/AI/NFT - No offense to nsfw artists

now go annoy your representatives to smack down KOSA, and encourage them to make an act to prohibit age verification that requires ID. Calls, letters, emails, votes- the works! Things arent as bleak as they could be, and things are NEVER as hopeless as the opposition tries to make us believe

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.

Wanna say thank you to anyone who made me anything for ArtFight. Big or small I love them all so much. I was a bit distracted this month with a medical procedure and then i got the heckin flu but i think i made an ok amount of attacks? Got 2 more to post later that i got out before the deadline :]

For those not aware somehow, KOSA and the Screen Act are being voted on in the senate on Aug 5th. If they pass, it literally means all of our internet will be under age verification, same as the UK and Aus. It's starting soon on Discord in Texas. I was already gated off Bsky once bc of this bs.

🚨 Senate Commerce Committee has just announced a markup on KOSA and other kids safety bills next week 🚨 So if you're in the US, now's a very good time to call your Senators! @fightforthefuture.org's Bad Internet Bills page makes it easy ... www.badinternetbills.com

Punchbowl reporting that the Senate Commerce Committee will hold a mark-up for #KOSA next week, citing "a person familiar". Nothing on the Committee website itself yet. punchbowl.news/article/tech... #SaveSpeech

My state will be the first forcing the uk style age verify on discord.. I don't even do anything of value on discord but that still sucks. I keep in touch with online only friends.. of which there are quite a few. KOSA is being voted on Aug 5th as well.

I unfortunately got sick with i assume the flu so i haven't left bed in a couple days. assuming it came from the hospital or afterwards :/ if i dont manage to make more art fight pixels i may do some later and just tag the users lol

Getting a medical procedure done soon (endo + colonoscopy :( ) so will be slow on artsies, but i'm gonna try to crank up my arts before the end of artfight :] and comms as well, of course <3

Does anyone know if this texas age verification will be hitting other medias? i genuinely can't tell. I'm pretty scared, as a disabled artist who kinda needs media for art reach.

also been getting more into reading since it's all i really do online besides look at art and video game streams. anyone know sites to read/rent books, novels, webcomics? gonna get a new library card aswell :]

Twitter(gross) is demanding a fingerprint or selfie to id me. Bluesky already locked us out once and they're probably going to fully gate us out soon too. Wtf am i supposed to do, just go down the list of medias til they all gate me out for ID? maybe ill just go to a library. lol

I truly, genuinely hate my state. I've hated it my entire life and it just keeps proving how much it sucks here. I'm out yall. Love my followers here <3 yall are great. but age id laws suck </3

So I was one of the people locked out earlier due to age verification bugs I'm on it atm, but I think I'm 100% out. I refuse to give my id even if it isolates me outta everything, sry. See my pinned post for everything i'm on otherwise. i'm not putting up with this bull.

Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...
