Sorry, let me be more constructive, here's a comprehensive guide on why age verification not only _does not_ work, but cannot work — and harms everyone, of all ages, on the internet: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Much like a cat, you can't get up when I lay on you, except you quite physically can't

🚨URGENT: Congress prepares to push forward wolf slaughter bill that would remove federal protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states and prohibit judicial review. Decision will be voted on Dec. 15 and could move to a House vote next week. 📣Take action: https://bit.ly/4adWexU

#savespeech #stopKOSA Today, I also come bearing notes from the Judiciary Committee hearing on "online child safety." + THE GOOD: - No vote on any legislation. - Anger on KOSA in the House being defanged. - A few new bills, two of them seem ok: + the (ECHO) Act + the Stop Sextortion Act

Also, if you can, I have donations open if you would like to donate. Due to my Uncle being in the hospital for his cancer treatment, I am trying to raise $100 to keep my service up so I can get updates from the hospital. I am trying to raise the money before 4 pm. bsky.app/profile/bigr...

i really recommend using this website to maximize your calls re: tomorrow's markdown meeting in the House energy and commerce committee. it connects you to various relevant legislators and gives you a script as well!

Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

In the UK I can’t even read DMs unless I give them my passport and a video of my face. This happened almost overnight! Don’t take this for granted, America!

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com

#SaveSpeech The House Committee Meeting was heavily in favor of these various censorship/surveillance bills We need now, more than ever, to counter the rhetoric that these bills are "popular" and demand our reps oppose them! www.congress.gov/members/find...

these paypros are only gonna continue to clamp down unless we call them and make their lives hell! call some paypros, give em a piece of your mind! And advocate against banking/paypro discrimination to your representatives! stop-paypros.neocities.org

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.

shout out to all furries who don’t even do art never think less of yourself we are glad to have your company

it’s not just AI slop: they’re breaking shit constantly now since the latest update, random things will crash Explorer and my taskbar will restart, Discord kept freezing until I turned off notifications, and trying to scroll in Chrome with some games alt-tabbed is a glitchy mess

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

Anti-ICE poster spotted in Portland, Oregon

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans. Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for. futurism.com/future-socie...

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A fellow furry has been kidnapped by ICE thugs. Ardwoof's family are fighting to get her released. Please help in any way you can. Share, repost, donate! Free Johanna! @opalmutt.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/help-johan...

They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN. Read up and get involved in the @fightforthefuture.org Week of Action.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

What a great headline

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

#SaveSpeech KOSA and the Stop CSAM act are both extremely high priority Lawmakers are looking to repeal section 230 and they are getting phone calls ENCOURAGING reps to do so! We need to call and drown out the opposition so we can save a free and open internet!

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I’m howling.

Saw this on the other site and wanted to share it here. Furry artist ardwoof has been detained by ice for the last few weeks. here is the GoFundMe link their family/friends have set up to help with their legal fees: www.gofundme.com/f/help-johan...

Using my voice as a creator to put out a small PSA on how to disable the new feedback feature on our favorite overly-nosey payment processor. Reminder to never comm details on payment websites, and to never directly link your payment pages to your NSFW work.

Chicago: Did you know that police departments in the Chicago area coordinate on Slack? Now that I know it's accessible to public records requests, request away: Their server is called CHI-INTEL and requests should be sent to the department that runs it, the Cook County Sheriff. Send away!

allegiance always to the pornographers and the freaks. consider making a call to mastercard, visa etc in the run-up to big spending season, more info about how to do this at the link

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

A world without transgender people has never existed and never will. To all transgender people out there: You are not alone.
