KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.
Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.
Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.
Download your "adult material" now. Porn, yes. Also anything related to queerness, sex ed, reproductive health. Media with even remotely queer characters. Things like oral history projects are very vulnerable. News articles vanish, sites vanish. Podcasts, both fiction and nonfiction. Save them. If the most horrifically conservative person you can imagine would dislike it, if Tumblr purity police would dislike it, back it up.
(Edit: back up your own writing. Back up your favorite fic. Back up everything you have in the cloud including cat pics. All your gaming stuff -- I lived thru the satanic panic. Have your most "respectable" friends hang on to copies of your personal stuff.
Know that they will find a way to use this to come after religion and race and history and science and anything else they hate as well, if they are allowed to implement it.
External hard drives are way, way less expensive than they used to be. Go.
I have begun buying hard copies of media that might get suppressed.
This isn't a false alarm. It is a warning.
We CAN win, do not give up and stop fighting, even if they win this fight. The point is to preserve shit so when this gets better, even if it takes a long time, these things will still be there for the people rebuilding knowledge.
Ahmed (@ahmedaldani333)'s family was displaced by Israeli bombing just under a week ago. They had been staying in a camp, and weren't able to bring food or blankets with them when they fled. His family has been without food for days.
He has a persistent headache and his body feels faint and dizzy. Two years ago Israel bombed his childhood home and displaced his family. He has witnessed horrors no child should ever need to endure. He wakes in the night from traumatic nightmares, and then the trauma continues in his waking life.
"My family of eight left the camp that housed us a week ago. We have now set up our tent in the street as there are no necessities of life here. We are suffering here from a lack of food as we have not eaten a single piece of bread for three days and there is no water here. The bombing has not stopped here in our new place. It is very close to us and there is no roof for the tent to protect us from shrapnel. I have an injured brother who needs food and needs to leave Gaza as soon as possible because his health condition is very bad"
My name is Ahmad Aldany. I am reaching out to you from the heart of the daily suff… Ahmed Aldany needs your support for Help Ahmed and his f
His fundraiser has been vetted: @gazavetters in line (#198)
He needs treatment for his lifelong disability caused by exposure to gas from a phosphorus bomb before he was even born. His family needs funds for food, medicine, and escaping genocide.
Please donate to his fund. Any amount makes a difference. If you can't donate, then please reblog this post.
So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.
honestly wei yings misunderstandings about lan wangji were 100% understandable like imagine a nun yelling at you and insisting you cover up your ankles. and youre like holy shit this lady is old fashioned and a total puritan. then she reveals no actually i have a huge ankle fetish and being around you makes me so horny i want to become an enemy of the church for you. you'd never fucking see that coming.
Boring, even. Mundane. People just accepted that rivers had oil slicks floating on them that could be lit by somebody throwing their cigarette in the wrong place. Cities had regular protocols in place on what to do when the river caught on fire.
The modern environmentalism movement wasn’t just started by hippies you know. Regular people cared about this stuff because their rivers caught on fire and existing near farms gave them cancer and by the 1970s they weren’t even seeing that much economic benefit from it.
If you don’t live in a world where rivers regularly catch on fire it’s because of stuff like the clean water and air acts. A lot of rivers in the US that in the first half of the 20th century regularly caught on fire are now safe to swim and fish in.
A lot of environmental damage is reversible if we act. We’ve got a lot of success stories like this actually. A lot of formerly endangered species have come back, fish have returned to American rivers, the ozone layer is being restored.
I’m not sure what’s going to happen next with the environment but I hold out at least a little bit of hope. Because rivers used to catch on fire and now for the most part they don’t.
Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.
That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighbor’s house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.
The bombings didn’t stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighbors’ home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.
I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my children’s toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.
Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably high—$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why can’t we live like everyone else—go to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?
How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: 💔 Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. 🌍 Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 🩺 Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.
Even the smallest donation can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share my story. Every share brings us closer to hope.
What Your Support Means Your kindness is not just about helping us survive; it’s about giving us a chance to dream again. To rebuild what we’ve lost and to ensure my children have a future filled with possibilities, not fear.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to us. Let’s work together to rebuild hope, one step at a time.
🌸 Please share our story and consider donating today. 🌸
Hi I am Fatima and live in London UK. I have known Rola now for appr… Fatima Rajwani needs your support for From Despair to Hope: Help us to
i don't think most people realize how bad things in rafah have truly gotten. we all already know israel has desecrated its own vow that rafah would be the "safe zone" in every way imaginable, but i can't describe how gut-wrenching it is to read about 12 iof soldiers infiltrating the rafah crossing under the guise of an aid truck just a day or so ago. again--they entered rafah with the pretense that they would be supplying starved, displaced people food
this is just now breaking, but i can't fathom how many palestinians got lured out w the promise of feeding their families--only to massacred then and there, never to be heard from again. likely their bodies won't ever be returned to the families. how can anyone read this and not be absolutely horrified
i am constantly thinking about maryam and her family whenever i read up on the news in rafah, so guys please please continue donating maryam's fundraiser. maryam and her toddler children are living in the heart of rafah; in the heart of the destruction and uncertainty and starvation. there is quite literally nowhere else for them to go, unless they raise the necessary funds to meet egypt's exorbitant prices and evacuate. i cannot stress enough how dire and time sensitive this campaign is. maryam's fundraiser has been getting little to no traction, and she truly could use all the help she could get
please please help Maryam. iof killed her father and her brother. they shot her husband and so every single day now she needs to clean his wounds to avoid it from getting infected AND also walk for miles into warzones to get internet connection + food + water AND also care for her brother's orphaned children
i don't know how else to phrase this anymore. it's been a full month of fundraising and Maryam has been shadowbanned without explanation twice. she is so tired and emotionally fraught. please help this young mother and her surviving loved ones live and evacuate.
my wish is that we can help the family get to at least 10k in the next week. the situation in Rafah is only going to escalate further. Maryam will keep trying to evacuate her family via medical exemption but we will need your help to make it happen via raising funds
can't ask for donations, can't film their genocide, can't show scans of sniper bullets, can't express anger, can't express support for the resistance, can't even pet post. everything is inherently suspect, a play on emotions, a trick, an angle, a setup. this shit is disgusting.

i think about this no kidding once a month at least since i first read it in passing and for the life of me i cant stop my bones going cold by the time i reach the end of the paragraph i stay with that full stop for hours
[Image ID: Text reading: The coroner said that when David Clapson died he had no food in his stomach. Clapson's benefits had been stopped as a result of missing on meeting at the jobcentre. He was diabetic, and without the £71.70 a week from his jobseeker's allowance he couldn't afford to eat or put credit on his electricity card to keep the fridge where he kept his insulin working. Three weeks later Clapson died from diabetic ketoacidosis, caused by a severe lack of insulin. A pile of CVs was found next to his body. /End ID]
This is Israel putting its genocidal concept of "shrinking civilians" to work, where Israel shrinks what it means to be a civilian by declaring everyone in Gaza to be a combatant, mainly because of their approximity to Hamas, by creating scenarios like this.
They are s till acting like israel gives a shit about hostages huh? if i see another fucking cunt calling western news media reliable again i'm gonna lost it
Yes, this is terrifying, and further, I must note that this is also what the USA originated in the Philippines during the Philippine–American War. For the first time in modern human warfare, the USA tried out "a zone of concentration" on the indigenous people of the Philippines by putting people in concentration camps and declaring any Pilipino merely existing outside of the the camps as combatants. This gave them a justification for the US military to slaughter anyone that didn't go willingly into the concentration camps. Israel, the genocidal colonial state, learned from the best genocidal colonial state in the world: the United States of America.
Again, don't forget that Gaza is under siege and has been for 17 years.
So when we say 97,000 are injured in Gaza, understand this number with the fact that no medicine, not even bandages, are allowed into Gaza and no patient, even cancer patients, are allowed out of Gaza for treatment.
Tell me how Israel's genocidal intent isn't as clear as day.
Israeli snipers shot journalist Fadi Alwahidi in the neck today. Another journalist, Ali Alattar, was hit in the head yesterday with shrapnel when Israel struck Al Aqsa hospital. Both of their conditions are deteriorating rapidly and doctors can't do anything.
There are currently calls to evacuate Ali and Fadi urgently for treatment. Imagine pressuring an entity so that critically injured journalists can be airlifted.
Just remember that these are only two stories out of tens of thousands others, many of whom have already succumbed to their injuries and might've never even been counted as casualties of this genocide.
