This immediately came to mind.

If I tell you that you are in danger, it is not to fearmonger. It is to make sure that the community that I am a part of and the people who I love survive.

I never want to say "I told you so" over things I desperately hope never come to pass.

Oh my God it's worse than I thought.

This is literally puritan shit.

This is fucking hell.

I'm trying to be helpful but all I can say is, try to complain to the company directly, if they have phonelines, flood the lines with complaints. State how such broad sweeping rules could be used maliciously to artists.

Other than that, I'm not sure what to do. Do what you can to fight it.

I get this might not be very convenient, but it could be a means to skirt some of their bullshit.
Either way shit sucks.

So, the subscribestar thing. Shit's fucked. I offer a suggestion:

Use an image/file hosting service, upload a drawing of a square to substar, and then in the description, link the actual upload there. Or link to a telegram group where only members can join and view there.

Obfuscate.

A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes:

I thought it was a hotdog with a flared base.

Apparently you don't have to smoke the blunt all in one go. That explains why I need higher doses for back pain.

The Custodians are genecrafted by experts and are one of a kind individuals. The space marines are mass produced. If anything female Custodians make sense. You have no expense spared superhumans made by the finest artisans of Earth. It should be EASY for them to make female Custodians.

Just saw a video from someone who was butthurt that there's a female Custodian in warhammer. They said "mEn DeSeRvE sAfE sPaCEs" to which I say that's a strawman. Sisters of Battle are cool, but nothing in the lore says a Custodian *can't* be female.

Fuck around, find out.

I wanna put on a diaper and relax. Just wanna be puppy.

Hey when I sound the alarm about shit like this, it's because there is danger. The danger can be avoided, but only if we act now. Make the calls. Do it. You want a chance to make a difference? You want a chance to keep the internet free? Call.

If you owe me a favor, consider this me asking formally

It's not over. A senator's or house member's power is only as good as their constituencies. They NEED to know that they're not keeping power if they go this route. The calls do matter, and it frightens them.

It's an overwhelming amount of voices coming at them and they do feel pressure. Keep at it.

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:

If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

Haha, human element but I'm a dog.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm anyone's comfort streamer. Like Joel (Vargskelethor) was my inspiration for streaming. Just stupid fun with a community that's capable of making some amazing things and experiences.

Streaming is 100% about the human element.

Oh I like this. I like this a lot. Their expression is perfect.

If this shit passes I will use my free "I fucking told you so" pass that everyone gets when their friend pulls some absolutely braindead shit.

You cannot believe how fucking many people have called this "political" for me bringing this up. Bitch this affects you too you lovable dumbass.

So, the House Energy & Commerce Committee passed the App Store Accountability Act and the KIDS Act (a package including the Kids Online Safety Act). These bills will make the verification shit Discord is trying to pull nationwide and censor the Internet if they become law.

I was NOT PARANOID!

If you're wondering why I seem to have more venom and fire behind my words lately, well, I've realized the path to healing also starts with speaking my mind and being true to myself, and certainly not mincing words.

I told you the hateful bigots would try to pull some shit. Call your fucking representatives now.

My right to exist is not political. It's a human right. Trans rights are human rights.

Oh I forgot to mention the rampant misogyny and chauvinism that took place there too. It fucking sucked.

When I say cult I mean the gay-bashing, satanic panic believing, manipulative, performative, and appearance obsessed "dancing is a sin" Assemblies of God "church".

It's a cult with extra steps.

As someone who grew up in a religious household and now holds disdain for the church because the "church" was a glorified cult, I can firmly say Evangelicals in any position of power ARE the problem.

Those motherfuckers directly contributed to my childhood trauma.

Hold on to anything #brainbunnies

When I urge caution, it is out of concern for the wellbeing and safety of others.

Public safety and law related PSA.

In uncertain times, it is *vital* that you know your rights, and when those rights are violated.
