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.

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!

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.

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.

Hey #querying authors 👀👀 I am officially open to queries ‼️‼️ So excited to see what lands in my inbox this month. Please submit if you think we might be a match!

Yes & Literary@yesandliterary.bsky.social · 2d ago

Using publishing's slow month of August to catch up on open queries. I'll be reopening in September for a short period looking for a few specific things. I'm most excited to find a compelling queer take on lit RPG, dystopian, and continued authentic representation in stories. #literaryagent #mswl

The creative mind works is so fascinating bc you could be almost finished drafting a new chapter and then you get a thought. Suddenly everything stops. You no longer are able to write ANYTHING. You start to second guess EVERYTHING you just spent hours drafting. Or is that just called anxiety? 🥲

He. Told. You. He. Was. Going. To. Be. A. Dictator. Did/don’t you know what a dictator is? He wrote all of his awful plans down in Project 2025. He’s a known CONVICTED fraud rapist racist pedo that tried not to leave office the first time. What part did you miss and why?

Nick@syngrey.bsky.social · 5d ago

Should probably say that to the republicans that Harris tried to court then and not the people screaming that she would lose to the fascists if she supported fascist policies. Fascists aren't voting for fascist-lite.
