Reminder- 🔞

‼️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

The image is a graphic poster with a vibrant red background and contrasting dark purple text. At the top, it contains the message: “Senate Commerce Committee is taking up KOSA + SCREEN Act THIS WEDNESDAY” in bold white letters. Below this, in a larger, informal handwriting-style font is the phrase “TAKE ACTION” in yellow. At the bottom of the image is a phone number, “248-331-8665,” displayed inside a rounded rectangle in dark purple. The overall layout is eye-catching and designed to attract attention to the call for action regarding legislation.

What’s at risk: Your privacy Connections to online communities and important friendships. Being able to work from home. Mass censorship Access to basic/life saving information. I wrote and called my senators, it took 5 mins. Let them know we don’t want UK based censorship laws.

A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes: www.badinternetbills.com

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.

Just returned from surgery. My health being so frail and broken started with cancer. Cancer destroyed my body and I'm repairing everything that breaks. The KoFi is now directly linked to pay that very cancer debt. Any help would be appreciated so I can start considering fleeing my queerphobic town.

I decided to enable KoFi memberships in addition to standard donations. I want to keep making art and focusing on game dev again but having to break focus to cover bills and food makes it impossible. Any consistent help would mean the world to me! ko-fi.com/DuragonArtFund twitch.tv/duragonart

This is the end result of "there are no sfw kinks" logic. Everything is a kink for someone. It doesn't matter how tame or innocuous it is; someone, somewhere, gets off to it. Amd there is no level of "toning it down" that will ever be acceptable to people whose goal is for you to not exist at all.

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

As for one last pic for Juicy July, Marshal had turned Raymond into a giant helpless blueberry, having a feeling that a bloated cat berry would be a great set piece for the beach party the town is having that night! Raymond is clearly not amused...

“Sorry, dear, but I don’t think we look alike.” Just my personal take, but I don’t think Sekhmet looks like Ankha. I think Sekhmet looks more like what fans imagine Ankha would look like. :V

So apparently some Hollywood reject is trying to trademark the most common word in the fandom: fursona. This impacts every furry and more importantly fursuit makers because they're trying to trademark it under Class 25 (Clothing / Robes) which includes costumes and subsequently fursuits.
