🚨 KOSA UPDATE The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE. Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 9h agoThe Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
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 · yesterdayMike 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.
my agent 24 placeholder until I can actually make something to celebrate 8/3 😫
This is like 90% what the Nazis did with "degenerate art." Except they're wording it as "accountability" and denying student loans (which already restricts who can and cannot achieve higher education)
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
You know how every cartoon in the 80s was based on a toyline? And how corrosive that turned out to be, in ways we are still unpacking today? This is that, but several orders of magnitude worse. Call up your local PBS station and (politely!) give them hell.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 2d agoI called WNET in NY to ask them to remove this video. I told them it was damaging to kids. You can call them, too! Call 212-560-1313 and press 2 to leave a message (the phone prompt seems to indicate 1, but that message directs you to 2). ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ruf...
This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.
Currently looking for a new composer on Engraved Establishment. I'm looking for someone who could relatively do the same mysterious, old-game-sounding tone to the game already has. Respond with some of your works if you could, please.
Today I got the $250 bill for fixing my phone and rent is due in the next few days. Once we're in the new place we don't have to pay rent until November but getting through the next few weeks is going to be really tight, anything helps.
LynnArang@lynnarang.bsky.social · 3w agoHave been barely scraping by for about 6 months now as the sole provider for 4 transfems but between the upcoming move next month, my hunt for a better paying job stalling out, and getting hit with overdraft fees after all my expenses hit at once, I could use some help ko-fi.com/lynnarang

Bizabizow / Ty@bizabizow.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey yall, just wanted to drop this here while I work on a doc explaining everything: but there has been someone impersonating me online that I'm going to talk about soon. As a general rule, if someone is claiming to be me online and it is not one of these accounts, IT IS NOT ME.
Last day to comment on this and make your voice heard, please defend Chaco canyon which is sacred to Pueblo, Navajo, and Hopi peoples and stands at risk of over 300,000 acres losing protections so it can be pillaged for gas and oil.
Stigmata 🤟🐰@jonathanvair.bsky.social · 2w agoBLM is revoking protections on Chaco Canyon. If you don't like national parks giving sacred lands to oil+gas companies, you have until July 29th to submit public comments. act.foodandwaterwatch.org/page/96315/a...
Here's the future AI companies are bringing us: www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...
AI companies are anonymously buying and destroying millions of books through middleman services to avoid headlines about AI companies buying and destroying millions of books
Booksellers say they're facing a sudden surge of orders for seemingly random rare books—and fear they might be profiting from their destruction.

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoAmnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
This is why JKR is a danger to queer people, and people need to wake up to this sooner rather than later. She is picking fights with human rights groups, because they support the existence of trans people and our human rights.
The National@scotnational.bsky.social · 4w agoNEW: JK Rowling and other gender-critical campaigners have reacted furiously after a report from Amnesty International called them 'anti-rights' organisations The author has accused human rights group Amnesty of believing women don't deserve rights in response
UPDATE: I'm attempting to transfer colleges so I can go in person and leave my mom's house behind this still applies, living expenses are still needed to get a dorm anything helps, thank you 💖 #mutualaid

The family and friends of Mexican animator Luis de la Rosa, who tragically passed away during the Annecy Festival, are asking for support to help cover travel expenses and repatriate his body. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been launched for anyone who would like to help: gofund.me/ae1944d68
