I've done a lot of lobbying and a lot of activism. It seems stupid, it seems pointless, it seems ineffectual, but phone calls are one of the few things that legislative offices really pay attention to as a barometer for public opinion. Call early and call often.

call your reps. This package was pushed through the house.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

adding alt text. stand up for us before it’s too late, cis folks.

If someone with ADHD doesn't respond to you for days or even weeks, it isn't because they don't want to talk to you. They were in their Dragon Form

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD. You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it. I've made my calls today. You need to.

The markup meeting in the house is today. Continue to stress to your reps that these bills/policies are unacceptable.

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

might make a new pinned post

Webcomic creators - ComicFury needs our help! ComicFury is basically the last of the old-school webcomic hosting sites and the mod Kyo needs more financial support if he's going to continue. If you host on ComicFury, I encourage you to support Kyo at patreon.com/comicfury or ko-fi.com/comicfury! 🐊📖

Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

🦊 CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT 🐾 Introducing our alternative artist, Yuii ! Whoever worked on Tingyun and Fugue’s design deserves a raise! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

last night, my dear friends lost everything in a devastating apartment fire. among all their memories, belongings, necessities, they also lost their two precious cats, felix & paisley. please consider donating to help these two beloved, kind people rebuild their life : gofund.me/cb718263b

the worlds not over keep taking your meds keep taking your HRT keep scheduling surgeries keep talking to friends keep eating keep sleeping the worlds not over you're still needed

man I don't hate lineart, but I hate how slow I am at doing it 😓

idgaf about pokemon games but omg the new starters are so cute……. I think I would die for pombon

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole. OP www.instagram.com/p/DVN3Ac2DG9p/

yaoi cope will continue until morale is restored

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

The only thing you NEED to have as an artist at 30 is a blorbo you're deeply invested in, next question.

hard not to feel the impending dread of being trans in the us rn but. no more doomscrolling for me today I think

Its also worth pointing out that because licenses were suspended, fleeing Kansas and getting a new ID elsewhere isn't possible If you want to help trans people in kanas, the absolute best thing you can do is donate to an org fighting for our rights in a red state

i hope more people are aware that the mass targeting to remove trans people out of public life is both violence against an oppressed minority but also has a strongly political bent, since trans people are often integral members of liberal & leftist organizing institutions

This is from HR 7661, calling itself the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act. This must not pass.

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass. You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

I want to make sure people see this, to know of a way to hopefully help other trans folks, so I'm going to repost this and say from personal experience that TCP helped me so much getting out of Texas!! I deeply hope the trans folks of Kansas will be okay and stay safe through the targeting going on

''Ermmm it's unprofessional to talk about ''politics'', you'll lose followers!'' Oh shit my bad, here let me say this instead- Fuck ICE Fuck MAGA Free Palestine Trans rights Black lives matter I could give two fucks if people unfollow, i'm not here to surround myself by bigots.

being trans online is like [posts a silly joke] [sees news abt government trying to exterminate us] [like funny post by trans friend] [more news about gov wanting us dead] [repost funny joke] [trans friend shares horrible news about insurance issues/sexual violence/abusive family] [sees funny post]

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

🦊 CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT 🐾 Introducing our page artist, Cylfa ! She's bringing you her vibrant colours and adorable girls!

patreon and twitch using persona is extremely baffling because it's not even necessary for them to verify your age through biometric data when they're literally already asking for your fucking social security number and tax information btw

while it is a relief to see Discord is no longer partnering with Persona and the age verification rollout has been delayed, that fact they still plan to go through with it is not great. Age verification doesn't ever reduce harm to children, just makes it easier to track people online.

NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in. www.congress.gov/members/find...

my god the launcher art for varka i have never been so fed by this game before with a mans banner, good lord

Reminder for fellow ADHD people who have a hard time not doing things at the last minute. 😩 This affects voting by mail but also beware of anything else time sensitive that you have to mail.
