While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate

The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...

None of us -want- to clog your timelines with this shit. I fucking HATE interrupting dumb horny boob posts with calls to action but like If action isnt taken the boobs will stop entirely like we -cant- ignore this shit, this isnt FUN

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

Please contact your senators about the SCREEN ACT, which is moving through the senate commerce committee TOMORROW And while youre at it, demand opposition to KOSA and the KIDS Act as well! www.congress.gov/members/find...

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/

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.

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

For the record when you ignore them coming for kinks you don't care for this is always the end result. No one should get to decide what is porn cuz it ain't EVER gonna line up with what any normal person would call porn.

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...

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

KOSA and the SCREEN Act are going to be marked up inntge Senate Commerce Committee next week. Please contact your senators and demand they oppose these bills www.congress.gov/members/find... www.commerce.senate.gov/press/rep/re...

That thing about them using the internet laws to determine whatever they want as "pornography" and then declaring it illegal took literally days to happen.

"Our Governor just signed legislation that protects children from accessing adult material online. This event mocks the very protections so many have fought for by exposing preschoolers to adult material that is not only inappropriate, but far beyond their level of cognitive development." The book:

Y'all gotta understand the bigger picture. Not only their livelihoods are effected, it could and might snowball upon the rest of us who don't create "icky" stuff. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile basically.

The problem with KOSA and the SCREEN Act is that we know it's not really about protecting children. It's never about protecting children. If these pass, they'll try to pass laws against online sex workers and more.

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.

Pro tip: you don’t have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they can’t support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! It’s completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

Work will be delayed potentially over the next few days. I just moved out of my apartment, and I'll need some time to unpack and get set back up. Apologies for the delays, I'd been working 'til the last possible moment, too.

Contact ya reps about KOSA and the NDAA (if it didn't pass already) now
