I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

"I don't understand why they all say they're trying to save kids when they are doing things that actively make life more difficult and less safe for kids and also for adults" well they're lying to you, is the thing. they do not want to save kids. they explicitly do not want to do that.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

The KIDS Act has passed the House with 69.5% of the vote (2/3 vote required) and moves to the Senate. With 47 abstentions, this was much closer than expected. The gate's been breached, but the fight is now on. Begin contacting your senators NOW. We'll provide resources ASAP, but don't wait.

A 「Stop KOSA」 petition is active and offers helpful tips and resources for contacting your representative.

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is another group I believe in. They're also constantly sharing valuable information on socials incl. bsky @eff.org related to digital privacy.

Consider also signing other petitions and supporting organizations dedicated to fighting for a free and open internet. I highly recommend checking out 「Fight for the Future」 to see the work they've done and continue to do.

Contacting your representative is probably the most obvious step. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has made this easy with a page that will message your rep for you. It a template you can use as-is or edit freely, and a short form asking for your name, address, and contact info.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT KOSA 🧵 KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act) is still alive. If history has taught us anything, blanket censorship poses a very real danger to marginalized peoples including the LGBTQ+ community. It's never about the kids!! Here's a few resources you'll hopefully find helpful.

this is literally the fastest "write your representative" prompt ive seen, please share your thoughts

despite the supposed improbability of the kids act passing in both the senate and the house, we still need to treat it like it might. this bill, and others like it, need to be stopped dead in their tracks.

Fun reminder of the time I sent in my 13HD for a repair years ago & they sent me back a Pro 13, a completely different model w/ no ExpressKeys & incompatible with my preferred pen/nibs. Then in the middle of communicating with support on their Twitter account, they "accidentally" blocked me.

So why did Xigbar look at Ienzo and go "ah, yes, this child explicitly needs to be ruined" and then Xehanort just didn't bat an eye? #KingdomHearts | #KingdomHearts3 | #KH3 | #Ienzo | #Blender | #Render

discord should not be getting a single dollar outta any of you until they fold off this verification shit.

just as a notice before this gets qrt'd all over my timeline, this is based on no new information and is simply taking this paragraph from a statement in February literally. it's worth being reminded that it's still currently going to happen but this is extremely dishonestly framed

Back with yet another 🧵 of Persian/Iranian mythology and cultural references I've noticed in FFXIV: Within this thread I aim to cover references from Stormblood. In part 2 I talked about the Simurgh and its older names, mərəγō Saēnō and Sēnmurw.

Here is a prime example of why you should Never, EVER use anything from a genai source for reference. Get your references from reputable sources, take your own photos, literally anything else. No excuse is good enough to use that slop. Support real creators and people.
