Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.
Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
When you fight censorship, you're also fighting for things you might not exactly like and it's something you gotta get comfortable with. I promise you, the fetish game you turn your nose up at is NOT YOUR ENEMY. You must think of the bigger picture, you must not fall for the bait.
love how me saying “maybe we should have like a ~little grace for people” is considered controversial
if this government shutdown did anything at all, it made more folks understand that democrats are not going to save us.
i’m actually so sorry there’s a scene in good girls where she uses a vibe while daydreaming about him breaking shit with a crowbar in her bedroom and none of you TOLD ME? i thought we were all freaks TOGETHER
yeah all i ever hear is “dating is so different now” because expectations have shifted, personal milestones are pushed to later in life. & lowkey i think young gen z are really averse to being vulnerable with ppl, which they don’t want to do if longterm connection with a stranger isn’t guaranteed
I really don’t understand why people get confused when we don’t want CNC/non-con/SA banned from art spaces.
No other topic is treated like this. No other victims are forced to be compliant. What makes bloody murder art so much holier than fictional non-con? Why is sex always a special case?
unfortunately when i fixate i FIXATE
yes i read a 1000 page book in 36 hours thanks for asking
“the year of dramione” you know i’m sat
We don't say sex work is work because it's a cute slogan.
We say sex work is work because sex workers are left out of conversations around labor rights.
Sex workers have the right to safe workplaces and legal protections.
Sex workers shouldn't fsce discrimination because of archaic morals.
Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.
Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

a publisher’s marketplace deal report detailing the plot of MISCLICK, by Rae Smyth. The novel is about a woman who, after a bad day at work, drunkenly enters a contest where the prize is co-starring with her favorite adult film actor in his next video and, to her shock, unexpectedly wins, to Cindy Hwang at Berkley
i am so beyond floored, guys!!!! and so excited to announce that my debut novel MISCLICK will be published with @berkleypub.bsky.social in early 2027!!!!!
guys please respect his beliefs and refrain from showing empathy. he didn’t believe in that.
‼️Stop Payment Processors enacting censorship, SHARE THESE, I know you can bump those numbers up!

my therapist once said “i don’t think the human brain has adapted to being under mass scrutiny at the scale social media creates” and that really shifted my perspective on things
it’s amazing what the wonders of “just don’t read comments anymore” has done for my mental health
i did the Bad Fandom Thing and gave an opinion on media i haven’t watched … oh no … police come get me …
New video!

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.
this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.
we can beat them
phone numbers and a script:
Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’”
post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.”
The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.
the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit
what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SOUND THE ALARM ON "ANTI-KINK" RHETORIC! GENDER CRITICAL RADFEM GROUPS ARE ALWAYS THE FIRST ONES AT THE SCENE PUSHING THIS BULLSHIT
"Collective Shout- MYTH: What consenting adults do is up to them"
These are the people who take sexual agency away from already marginalized adults‼️
2025 and turns out #masterdcard and #visa decided they want to police and call the shots about what companies can sell and what their users can buy.
All because they are bending the knee to a christofacism extreme religious group called #collectiveshout
we have come full circle on the published fanfic discourse where now people are saying “writing fanfic itself is bad actually” and i am tired
Ana Valens' exposé on Collective Shout, the group responsible for the Steam purge, has been taken down from its outlet VICE by managerial fiat. This is a really obvious case of the powers that be intervening to protect their power, and yet everyone will ignore it.
We must fight for a society where no one is labeled “trans” — not to erase trans people who will always exist as we are, but to eliminate the idea of assigned gender roles altogether. True trans liberation means no longer being defined by expectations imposed at birth.
This remains evergreen.
