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!

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.

I GOT TO THE NEXT STAGE OF INTERVIEW! ... The next one is going to be for an hour, in front of a panel of six people. Holy shit.

I did my calls, please do yours!

‼️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

"it looks like you're using an adblocker to visit our site." yep! ha ha! it rocks!

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.

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.

plugging this again. bills are seriously bad right now and while i'm getting over a lot of health stuff, it took up most of my money this month trying to figure out what was even up with me. i had to skip a dental cleaning i needed because my teeth are once again in pretty severe pain.

cami@pouchprints.bsky.social · last wk.

going to plug my gofundme as well. i've got some bills this week that are over what i have in my bank account, even after my paycheck came in. I'm trying to keep my head above water and this month i'm having a lot of trouble. www.gofundme.com/f/help-clair...

If you want to still be able to look at porn without providing an ID or a face scan? Stop this bill.

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

Dude, keep eating like that and that shuffling waddle of yours won't last for long...

Second interview went well! Hopefully I make it to the next round! You’ll have to cross your fingers for me, though, mine are a little too thick for that…

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

God I haven't had an in-person interview since I got my first full time job in the industry.. I was with that agency through covid, and then switched to a work from home role and just interviewed over Zoom. This is kinda crazy!

Oh god sudden in person interview out of nowhere with a chief creative officer of some design company. I need to get my hair cut, and find fitting clothes! Fuck!
