How to talk to someone shorter than you:

Furries if y'all were mad about payment processor bullshit y'all need to be twice as mad about this. Calling your reps is important but isn't enough we need protests at their office yesterday.

Mike 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.

🚨 Markup of Bad Internet Bills is happening THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your reps today and again tomorrow 🚨‼️ Our call tool makes it easy: www.badinternetbills.com

Bad Internet Bills

All of the bad internet bills. One website.

With the Senate Commerce Committee has a markup of KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and the CHATBOT Act on Wednesday. @fightforthefuture.org's https://www.badinternetbills.com/ is the easiest way to contact your Senator, but there are lots of other options too!

I’ve had a hard time keeping track of all the Awful Things happening in the US lately but unfortunately there are 🟥FOUR🟥 anti-privacy bills up for vote this Wednesday in the senate again, including KOSA. Please take a moment to write or call your senators today.

Electronic Frontier Foundation@eff.org · 2d ago

On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee will vote on four bills that would expand age verification, increase online surveillance, and make it harder to access lawful speech online. Take one minute to tell your senators to vote NO. www.acteff.org/campaign/16...

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.

Me and who? >/>;

"Why hello there!" Bimoji ink pen, promarkers & white ink on newsprint paper. I was extremely honored to have this artwork reviewed by the great Aaron Blaise ❤️ During one of his assignment sessions. The original will be up for auction at the Eurofurence Art Show, and I will have prints at my table!

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

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.

oh yeah also I made this recently and bird site seemed to like it so tossing it here too!

Hey folks, reach out to your senators, Ds and Rs alike, light their offices up, because 6 Democrats in the House voted in favor of the Defense Bill that includes a provision to enmesh our military with Israel's and also includes the SAVE Act which is Trumps voter suppression bill.

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

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 · 4w ago

Amnesty 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.

Good morning. Today is the LAST DAY to comment on the proposed OMB rule that will, honestly, destroy science in the US. And it will do FAR MORE THAN THAT. www.theverge.com/science/9576...

The war against ‘woke’ could end US science as we know it

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

MapleMash@maplemash.bsky.social · 4w ago

WHA OH!!! Anyway use deer.social

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

Okay, so I guess people in Texas can't use this app anymore. How many of my friends are going to disappear now? ☹️ Also, this isn't going to stop with Texas. If the KIDS Act or KOSA isn't stopped, this'll be your future, too:

I loathe the cult of the car.

Made it one more year! I've made a number of great new friends, and learned more about myself and put work towards being a more fulfilled dog. Here's hoping I can keep up the momentum! -retreats to corner to devour cheesecake- 🎈🎂 🎉
