Long post. Long week. Gonna take Sundays off from now on.

Tbh everything going on has me anxious, depressed, and glum. Feels like nothing is improving.

But we gotta keep trying. Keep kicking up a fuss. Even if we lose, we gotta keep going till we win.

For art. For expression.

Next, spread the word and support efforts to halt Australia's ban on social media/push for AV on websites.

Also, push the Gov. to shut down Collective Shout, as they have caused irreperable damage to the internet & gaming market.

"This could mean that not only people in Wisconsin would have to share their biometrics, IDs, and credit card details without the security of a VPN encrypting their communications, but that adult sites may be forced to block all individuals accessing their services regardless of their location."

Even if someone is a co-sponsor, YOUR calls [plural] could be the thing that shifts the scales enough that when the time for a vote comes, they hesitate.

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

I referenced the MANY MANY civil rights groups that oppose KOSA and after my VERY long message, she flat out said to me "Wow, I actually did not know this. Thank you very much for telling me, I will make sure this information is passed to my colleagues and thank you for calling me today!" /3

to talk to a US senator today. I told her about the dangers of KOSA for LGBTQ+ communities and marginalized communities across the country and directly told her that although the intention of protecting minors from harmful content is good, this bill is NOT the right way of going about it. /2

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

I'd love to see them try. Businesses have VPNs to communicate between networks. I have a VPN to get to my home network. It would be ridiculous to even attempt this, probably impossible to implement.

Plus, to get a VPN subscription, you need a credit card with 99% of the time means you're an adult.

I know what I usually post around here but this is important to me.

For fellow New Yorkers: Chuck Schumer is an original co-sponsor of this bill.

His inbox is also very open and contact info includes offices in 8 NY cities and DC

Make yourself heard.
