Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

NEWS: The leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will unveil a bipartisan deal Monday on guardrails for protecting kids against online harms, including a long-sought compromise on the Kids Online Safety Act. @benbrodydc.bsky.social has the details: punchbowl.news/article/tech...

This Pride month, remember that straight trans people often have to go through our own intense journey of coming to terms with our identity, and that fundamentally alters the meaning of straight. We are not the same as cishet people, without ID changes most of our marriages are at risk like any SSM.

I'm emotionally ruined. Somebody left a whole ass ROLL of bowling alley style, arcade style PARTY CARPET on the street outside my apartment and I decided to be responsible and not take it. I don't wanna risk bedbugs, and I have no way to properly clean it, so outside it stays. 😭😭😭

Piece of advice from experience: If there is someone you’re a fan of, be they musician, writer, artist, YouTuber, essayist, philosopher, whatever, ask what they could possibly do to lose your support for them. If the answer is β€œnothing” for ANY reason, reevaluate how you feel about that person.

Y’all I love these ding dongs so much. We’ve played a softball game, been menaced by a radio DJ, rode a dinosaur skeleton, got too drunk at myrtle beach, visited The Straightest Gay Bar On Earth, and done multiple heists. Also this art slaaaaps they have so much personality oh my god

I haven't posted art in forever, so I might as well dig through some of the stuff I haven't posted while I've been a total hermit. Here's the current cast of the Monster Hearts campaign I've run with @derbyghost.bsky.social for fucking years at this point. (details below)

Left to right:
A tall girl drawn in orange hues. She wears glasses, has dark hair with lighter bangs, and looks to the side suspiciously as she scribbles in her Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School notebook. Her pet sugar glider sits on her shoulder.

A shorter faun girl drawn in red, she wears a crop top, jean shorts, and holding a blunt in one hand. She sports hooves, a goat's tail, horns and goat ears. She looks cocky.

The shortest girl in the cast drawn in purple, she wears a simple outfit of a t-shirt, capris and crocs, with the edition of dark glasses. Her curly hair falls in her face. She looks anxious, holding her arm protectively. Her right arm is clawed and made of a dark, viscous material.

The third tallest girl drawn in blue, a demon with a pixie cut that stands on her tip toes, beckoning you in. Her heart-tipped tail curls around her legs. She wears a bedazzled pair of overalls, a t-shirt and sandals.

The second tallest girl, and the most formally dressed. A frilly shirt with long, straight hair compliments her dark, understanted slacks. She wears heels and a smile, looking pensively to the side.

The tallest girl in the group, and easily the most muscular, painted in yellows. She wears a crop top and jean shorts with combat boots, her hand held shyly behind her head as she looks away. Her long blonde hair matches her wolf ears and tail.

The third shortest girl drawn in green. She wears a long, flowing dress with tights, as well as a pair glasses and a pair of white mary-janes. She sports bangs and shoulder length white hair. She looks away from the camera, one arm holding the other behind her back.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

I've struggled to engage with basically any form of social media since the move. Feels like we keep just narrowly surviving by the skin of our teeth because of the kindness of our loved ones, and that's a hard place to exist. I'd like to try to dig out of the hole. Thanks for the patience.
