KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

AND ANOTHER THING! With all of these conversations around censorship, I continue to be really upset about some people refuse to see the through line to trans and reproductive rights AND our countries rejection of comprehensive sex ed.

The whole thread, but especially about sex ed. It’s tiresome to see people who think themselves liberal who are certain smut - or what they consider smut - is causing a social crisis, but they never talk about or help support education. Increased censorship of what you don’t like is not the answer.

I hate that the right wing freaks are too stupid to notice they won the war and they’ve been winning it for decades. Our economic policy is right wing our foreign policy is right wing our courts are right wing our media is right wing. You won and your life still sucks so now what

this is super important. This is very important. Censorship bills and laws talks about "protecting the victims" but they really just want to silent the talk

And like, I know these takes get made because they can get popular, and it’s purposefully simple and polarizing. But still, frustrating!

I hate feeling it’s INCENTIVIZED to judge ppl in our community. This, or pup hoods, or literally any other kink.

Shame is a tool brandished against queer ppl!

A lot of the comments on these are like “I dont need substances to have a good time” and like. Cool? Ok? Do you want a medal?

Like why do you feel the need to tell us that? Why not just say that everyone has their own version of fun?

It’s just so telling when ppl kneejerk judge others having fun

Every so often there will be a take about how furries have drug and alcohol problems at cons and it gets wildly popular (mostly from kids or ppl who don’t even go).

And it’s really frustrating to me because these conversations never have any nuance, is just masturbatory, yet paints cons negatively.

Important PSA!

Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut.

That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Friends, Spooky season is upon us.

Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

I didn't think I should have to say this, but having a "Won't Draw" list on a commission sheet is NOT "being an anti"
Actively drawing something is very different than politely ignoring it, and refusing to draw some taboos is a PERFECTLY REASONABLE BOUNDARY

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late.

Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

The DOJ website has a banner reading the Dems shut down the Govt that's why many depts. aren't working.

This is a clear violation of the Hatch act, using public funds for political purposes.

What will be done about it?
