I LOVE THIS GARLIC MAN

THANK YOU!!

I DID IT.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

@mailbox.org Hello! My username is inactive due to lapse in payment, I believe. I would like to get access again. I tried to recreate the username and it is unavailable.

They made me do two other jobs on top of the job they hired me for, and they won't see that it was "wrong". They're going to blame me anyway.

I am going to quit tomorrow. I don't know how it's going to go. I might have to raise legal funds if it goes badly. I'm scared.

But I'm also sick, dealing with involuntary muscle movements due to stress, the list goes on. This job has burned me out, run me into the ground.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

NOT MELITO

Be personally disgusted with lolicon or shotacon all you want, avoid people who make that content all you want, but calling it "Digital" or "Simulated" CSAM is frankly offensive to the actual tragedy that affects real living people, so I'll thank you to not fucking do that, actually.

i've been seeing the r word a lot more frequently lately even by people on the left and personally i think we should leave that one in the past

I saw people attack Resident Evil 1 for having fixed camera for going against player agency. Fuck you. If the game developer wants to mildly inconvenience you or fucking kiII you, they should

Hello everyone. I apologize for doing this but I have until April 30th (or earlier) to find a new place to live for me & my cat, due to my lease being ended without any chance to stop it, or else I will become homeless. As it stands right now, I will not be able to afford to do so.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

There really are some folks who have absolutely no ability to process a piece of fiction that's any more complex or nuanced than an extremely basic morality play, and they have decided that it's everyone else's problem.

Lina comes from my old moniker, "Tselina" (short for "Tselinoyarsk"). Ash is from Snow Like Ash, the OC I based Tsara on. Both are very dear to me.

where's the urianger meme of him going "thou art tranphobic? revolting"

yo.

we live in horrifying times as it is.

don't be the kind of person who guilts people for trying to spread a little joy by posting cat pics.

you're not being progressive. you're not being an activist. you're not making things better in the world.

you're just being a performative dick.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the Kids Act, a mix of KOSA, Screen Act, and several other ID/facescan verification bills. There is still time before a final vote in the House, as well as a Senate version. Please use this link to call your Senators and Representatives to vote no.

KIDS Act Passes Energy and Commerce along Partisan Lines, COPPA 2.0 Postponed Additional bills on kids online safety and cybersecurity passed with bipartisan support

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced

Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

What to do if you encounter CSEM, a thread. 🧵

CSEM = child sexual exploitation material.
CSAM = child sexual abuse material.

Both mean basically the same thing, but I wanted to show both acronyms in case they’re seen in the wild.

hazard of the job

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

If you posted about what Discord’s up to, you need to share this and act on it too, please.

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined
