Remembering the legendary & incomparable Louis Armstrong, Grammy-winning jazz trumpeter and singer on his 125th birthday. He was #BOTD on 8/4/1901 and passed away at 69 on 7/6/1971.
Call your senators and tell them to vote against the SCREEN Act! I just did again this morning. You can read the full thread below, but it is genuinely one of the largest scale attempts at on-and-offline censorship, data harvesting, and anti-privacy legislation in recent memory. It's a bad bill.
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat 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/
We rightfully talk about Ruby Bridges being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school in the South at 6-years-old. But we don’t talk nearly enough about Lucille Bridges, her mom ✨
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.
Eromancer@eromancer.bsky.social · 3d agoThis 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.

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors

hey, cis folks! way too often these things end up being trans people passing the same $20 around until they’re the ones on a bad run of luck. if you’ve been wondering about real ways to help right now, this kind of thing truly matters. if you can chip in, please do.

the trope of "the black best friend" has a specific meaning. it's not when an actor is black and they play a friend.
