Pick up the phones and call! It's pretty simple to do, and there will be consequences if we don't! #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA #protect230

Now that the holidays are over, we gotta pick back up out fight against censorship online. Make your calls and get mad about all the other shit too!

PBS is still alive. It may be down, but it’s not out. To keep it from ever being out, donate to your local station if you can. You’ll be able to do so here: pbs.org/donate.

Just a reminder, because everyone seems to have forgotten: Tumblr wants to or is actively selling your data: mashable.com/article/tumb...

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Hey, I just wanted to say, a US dollar goes a LONG way for South Americans, so if you can give even a few bucks to a Venezuelan in need right now it'll make a world of difference. I plan to once my bonus comes in. Here's some resources on how.

We can do even more.

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

I do genuinely believe that the way entertainment journalists wrote opinion pieces about sexualized characters in the 2010s did have a strong impact on the waves of internet censorship today. It's not that conservative outlooks needed an excuse, but that it conditioned the left to not defend sex.

Even the popular attempts to promote positive sexual thinking were rooted in a kind of moral puritanism, too. Anything that could be repackaged as positive or empowering was Good Horny while anything problematic was Bad. It wasn't deconstructing the biases, but moving the goal posts.

Fuck this. Y'all in the EU make your calls and send male to your reps. This cannot happen

US citizen here. I can't do much about this myself but I want to spread this to any EU citizens that follow me. I NEVER want y'all to have to deal with ANYTHING like ICE.

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

Fucking hell, the amount of pearl clutching from non furries when they see a cartoon with boobs. Its not even salacious or pornographic: she’s fully dressed and has “slight curves” to quote the creator. Having boobs isn’t inherently sexual -and if you think it is, I think that’s your problem.

Quick reminder, you are allowed and it's not contradictory: - to criticize the USA for violating international law - to criticize Maduro for being a dictator - Recognize that the USA interest isn't the freedom of Venezuela - Celebrate the fall of brutal regime

None of this is about protecting kids. The co-sponsor of the Kids Online Safety Act said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender” in society. Jonathan Haidt, the right wing reactionary who has boosted these laws alongside the Heritage Foundation has spread anti trans conspiracies

Time to pick up the phones again, and get to calling fast #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA #protect230

Congress is about to make a huge push into online ID verification, entrenching the power of big tech and mandating that they collect even MORE data on users. Mass surveillance/censorship laws are being framed as “child safety” but they’re really abt at removing LGBTQ ppl, repro justice info, etc.

Call your reps this January and tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act — NO to the Parents Over Platforms Act —NO “age verification” laws —NO to digital ID systems

It’s crucial to note that the DEMOCRATS are the ones leading these efforts. Trump sucks, but Dems are the ones pushing these Heritage Foundation-backed laws through & making them more extreme Go to BadInternetBills.com for scripts to call your representatives, background info on the laws, and more

during times like these, organizations are often able to use $ more efficiently than an individual can if you have the ability to give and want to help Venezuelans, donating to the Venezuelan red cross is one way you can make your donation maximize its impact www.ifrc.org/national-soc...

here's a thread with a bunch of suggestions for Things-You-Can-Actually-Do. its not the be all end all but its a place to start. As you do things and, ideally, interact with people, you will find additional opportunities to help present themselves to you bsky.app/profile/dist...

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

You don’t have to want kids or even enjoy being around them. But it’s also worth unpacking why kids simply existing, learning, or having unmet needs reads as “annoying,” “unlikeable,” or “bad behavior.” This collective discomfort with noise, need, & vulnerability is why many ADULTS are struggling.

You all want to keep putting the blame on a political party. When will you realize that it’s two wings on the same bird? This country was built on blood and bones. Accept the truth.

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government

As the old Kurt Vonnegut quote goes...

⚠️ Big warning to those on Discord, Pkuai's account got hacked, and if you receive a message from any hacked account about a playtest for a game named Eloryth, with a Youtube link that they and their friends are working on, do not click the website link the hacker gave you below the Youtube video.

Please do something to help re: America's attack on Venezuela Call reps. Mutual aid. Protest. Do what is within your ability but please do something.

< and if your safety allows it, protesting at the designated days in your city. I see a lot of you demoralized. I get it. Me too. But maybe let's fight for people who are actually in danger?

Hey babes remember that in situations like these you don't have to take your anger or sadness on a private chat with your friends and that's it; you actually can make a big difference calling the representatives on your country, sharing and discussing with people irl, donating, >

Posts online aren't enough! Make your calls, send your emails and faxes and go to protests!

Horrible news today. I wish I had anything helpful or comforting to say. Mostly takes everything I have to just like, keep on functioning, without internalizing everything wrong in the world. I'm so tired. Gonna keep trying to take things one day at a time. Call your representatives tho, USA peeps

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

Scripts that make it easy to call your reps and demand an end to the violence:

Hey everyone! Please be careful as my discord account was hacked. Currently in the process of recovery but please do not interact with any messages from the account in the meantime. Thank you!

realizing both "maduro is a dictator" and "the united states are using illegal forces on venezuela to get their oil and establish power" are true statements that can coexist is where we need to be at

Got good feedback from y’all, so trying this again: Maduro is an unduly-placed dictator and should not be in power. But the United States did not (and never did) have the authority to act outside their jurisdiction. This is an illegal move to steal oil rights and set precedents for future violence.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

🚨 Thread collecting actionable steps to help civilians in Venezuela, Venezuelan refugees fleeing to neighboring countries, and Venezuelan immigrants in the US. 🚨 ✅️ Please post ideas / links, especially to local frontline groups. ❌️ Please avoid non-actions, and be cautious regarding sanctions. 👇

Email, call, and yell at your reps online to demand they end this illegal war. Stopping the violence is priority #1.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

A very fucking firm reminder to active duty folks that "I was just following orders" is the nazi defense. Don't follow unlawful orders, resign. Fuck your benefits, fuck the money, you are breaking international law. Tell them to stuff it and keep your soul intact. No sympathy for anything else

Remember that there are people who profit from you feeling doomed. So please, take a breath, and cool down. You cannot organise, support, or protect your community if you’re running on solely fear and panic. Steady yourself, share good resources, and remember a clear head is the way to move.

Capitol switchboard (202) 225-3121 Call your reps. Demand impeachment. No illegal war in our names.
