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
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 5h agoThe Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 6h agoSCREEN 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!
Here is something I wrote as a pitch for MAY YOU FISH IN INTERESTING TIMES. 🎣 I might as well share it on social media so that more people can read it. 🐦 aryl-ether.itch.io/fishintimes
NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

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.

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.

It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 22h agoI keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

“Underlying health issues” is the new “pre-existing condition,” the excuse health insurance companies would use to refuse cancer treatment to people who had acne once.
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈@chimeracoder.bsky.social · 2d agoEvery person who has ever died of AIDS died of an "underlying health issue"
When disabled people/many people who work on disability/health pointed to the dangers of this kind of framing since COVID, they were usually mocked ("oh you think everything is eugenics") or ignored. But normalising the idea that the deaths of disabled people are desirable/reassuring is dangerous.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
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/

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
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.

I think Mengben's food stall would focus on pork for business, so in addition to the mythological reference of tiger gods curing mumps (Pork Head Skin) you also get the classic Taiwanese cuisine hits of Gua Bao, Loh Bah Png, Wanluan Pork Knuckle, Mei Cai Kou Rou, sausage, ba-wan, Ti-hueh-kué, 大腸包小腸

Hey, I wrote on this! I did half of the ghost courier section and archetype, and the space goblin section (after having done them in Galactic Ancestries, too!). It was awesome to be able to return to goblins, and get some Lethal Company/Content Warning/Backrooms vibes into Ghost Couriers!
