I miss him
the KIDS act passed the house today. 267-117, 47 not voting.
that's not great. but it's not the whole story.
a few things got worse right before the vote too. the language that explicitly protected encryption, saying the bill couldn't be used to force platforms to weaken it, got quietly stripped out on Friday. that safeguard just doesn't exist anymore.
but this isn't over. it heads to the senate next, and the senate is genuinely not on board. blumenthal and cantwell, two of the senators who wrote the original KOSA, are saying they don't want this version near a markup. blackburn, a republican and the other original author, called the missing duty of care provision a red line.
worth being clear here, blackburn isn't on our side. she wants the policy stronger, not gone. but that's still a crack we can use. her opposition means the house version has zero guaranteed path through the senate as written, and a stalled bill is a bill that isn't law yet. use her objection, don't trust her motive.
senate commerce hasn't even scheduled a markup yet. that's the next pressure point. this thing has died or gotten majorly rewritten at this stage before.
contact your senators: find yours here. tell them you don't want the house version anywhere near a vote.
and remember, if you have to, contact your senators scared. anything helps.
this fight isn't lost. it's just moved.
I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.
I didn’t realise this had to be said until I came across a reel of someone in hospital but dear GOD if you’re in London during this heatwave do not swim in the fucking Thames PLEASE do not even touch the Thames I can name like five different ways you will be violently killed just off the top of my head STAY AWAY FROM THE THAMES and for that matter stay away from lakes/rivers in general and stick to safe, supervised areas of water such as swimming pools because the heat isn’t worth the risk of drowning, strong currents, harmful microbes, cardiac arrest with no help in sight etc. etc. PLEASE stay safe in this weather, especially if you’re not used to it!!
I love how humans are all like "NO we polluted our water! Do not swim in nature, swim in the approved chemical containers"
The undercurrent from the Thames is so strong it will literally drown you get your annoying ass tags off my post
Also, a lot of people have misunderstood this post as me saying that all lakes and rivers are bad to swim in, as opposed to the fact that there is currently a heatwave in a country that is not used to high heat and the risk of getting into complications or having a cardiac arrest while swimming with no lifeguard around is a huge cause of heat-related deaths in the UK. Seven people have already drowned in the past week. I’m not interested in “wow people in the UK are so soft everyone should swim in lakes” tags anymore because you’re missing the point.
everybody start complimenting brown eyes NOW ‼️
every person i’ve ever been with has had brown eyes and every time i say their eyes are pretty they say “huh, really? i’ve never heard that before. i think they’re kinda boring” are you FUCKING kidding me i could stare into your eyes forever and not be bored for a second
of all the posts i’ve ever had breach containment this is the one that made me genuinely excited I hope this gets notes fr i hope it lands on the dash of my brown eyed boyfriend and reminds him how beautiful he is
i should be nicer to anons calling me an egg maybe it's their first time seeing someone even slightly gnc
i have to ask actually. what happens when you go in someone's inbox and go "omg you should try being a girl i bet you're actually a closeted girl" and it's a trans man. does that ever happen. what then
auaahhauhghhh awful awful awful
friendship is all about doing stuff that would get you accused of emotional cheating by alloro people who think it’s rude to ask a friend for a ride to the airport.
I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things
my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say
Local Trans Woman Laid Off AGAIN! Help?
Well another job has come and gone, the indie company I worked for shuttered their entire social and marketing department (which included me) yesterday and I'm back to job hunting.
They laid me off with no severance and only "paying out my last two weeks" as part of my final pay. So things are once again going to get tight financially around here and I hadn't even been able to financially recover from the previous layoff I suffered.
If you have leads to work (Social Media Manager, Community Manager, Marketing Manager, Voice Acting, or literally anything) please send it along my way!
But if you have the ability to donate or contribute to help keep us afloat while I'm once again on the job hunt, you can use any of these below:

A project I was contracted for ran out of funding last month so money is tighter again, the good news is I do have a job interview today, so hopefully things go well!
But while I figure out next steps and with Rent/Bills coming up on being due, we could use a little help!:
$0/$1000
$50/$1000
9 Days Until Rent & Bills Are Due!
7 Days Until Rent & Bills Are Due!
$100/$1000
6 days until Rent and Bills are due!
$177.18/$1000
5 days til Rent and Bills are due!
$427.18/$1000
4 days til Rent and Bills are due~
$438.08/$1000
3 Days Until Rent & Bills Are Due!
$443.08/$1000
So funny story actually. One of my friends was hooking up with this girl, they were friends with benefits. She needed a date for some work party so he agreed to go with her. Turns out her dad owns like 3 dental practices and she worked as the business manager for one of them.
Anyway my friend had some not so nice teeth and during dinner the father of his fwb was like “you work where you work, you sleep with him and his teeth look like that? Get him an appointment.”and then bounced. So his fwb made him an appointment at the practice she managed and my friend ended up needing like 3k worth of dental work and his friend with benefits just gave it to him for free.
So that is the story of how my friend not only got sex, but dental out of the friends with benefits deal.
fucked that you can’t fix other people especially when you really care about them. Oh so im just supposed to be there for you while you suffer. like a useless cunt gargoyle
when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.
AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️
2026 being the ten year anniversary of 2016 ace discourse means that everyone needs to get incredibly asexual this year. as reparations
many of you in the notes saying “on it boss”. i’m starting to think you guys were already asexual…
Reminder that if you
Live in the UK
are an adult and have at minimum Indefinite Leave to Remain
Can scrape together about £1200 in one place for a few minutes (can be salary/your actual bank account, but better if not, as you’ll need to park it somewhere else for a month or so)
Can reasonably do mildly convoluted admin tasks (I.e., could you keep a spreadsheet that juggles a few things like “dates to cancel subscriptions”, and remember to cancel the subscriptions?)
Are confident, capable and able to do life paperwork such as opening bank accounts
Then you can usually farm a bit of pocket money with bank switching.
Bank switching is taking advantage of cash offers that UK banks offer to switch your current account to their bank. They often offer £150 cash for doing this. The definition of a “current account” is usually “has ~£1200 in it and two direct debits set up,” so if you’re willing to quickly set up a free throwaway bank account that meets these criteria, you can then switch that account around various banks to take advantage of incentives.
There’s some decent offers right now if you’re willing to do the homework (you could get up to £1500 at the moment if you’re eligible for everything), and people on Reddit write really careful hand-holding tutorials. https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoneyuk/s/DLrpVkmDOo
Reddit - Please wait for verification
You can usually only max this out once a year, and then have to take a break (most banks have a cooldown period.) of course, if you have a partner or other family members, you can do theirs. You can pass the £1200 back and forth between you for this, and make double the amount.
If you only do £1000 a year, it’s about the limit of the admin most people want to do, and is tax-free.
You can mess it up - but rather than losing money, you’re more likely to accidentally fail to meet the criteria, or get into an admin snarl where you get querulous emails from bizarre institutions like the Ulster Bank of Lobsterworkers and Divinely Inspired Miners, telling you that they can’t close your bank account until you remove £0.37 from it. However, allowing reputable UK banks to hold your £1200 is a low-risk activity.
You must follow the instructions (and guides) attentively to receive the payouts.
Bank switching is a good, honourable and reliable way to raise a few hundred pounds to pay off large unexpected expenses. A big credit card bill, an air conditioner, an unexpected flight - I find it useful to know that a little bit of extra admin-headache can write off the whole expense.
Hope that helps someone out today.
Oh, forgot to say - from the Reddit guide I linked above (which has a quick start guide and everything.)
If you and a partner switch to Nationwide with this June 2026 offer (obviously, it’s on you to read the instructions carefully) you will get a total of £525. That’s very helpful pocket money that could make all the difference for your household this month.
This is genuinely it. You can get £525, cash, free and clear, honest and honourable, handed to you and your partner, for the effort of reading some paperwork and temporarily changing your bank account. I can promise you that. And you won’t do it.
most of the people reading this are not going to be able to do it.
And the thing is, I fully get that. My partner is the person who does the bank switching in our house. My brain slips a gear when I try.
it is frustrating. It is frustrating that people in the UK who are able to earn/beg/borrow a one-off £1200 could farm it to pick up reliable cash in big, generous, free chunks. But the admin gap exists, and bank switching requires activation energy and a bit of attentiveness. And that admin gap is enough for banks to exploit. It sounds completely absurd, but it’s true. Free money? Nope, can’t brain, executives can’t function.
Banks can do this in the first place because they’ve carefully calculated the cash incentive against people’s abilities . They know that - despite being a very easy task, about as hard as completing an online shopping trip without using autofill - it somehow takes tremendous effort to change your bank. For most people that price is, genuinely, £200. £200 cash in your bank account is just about enough to make an effort for. Banks are banking (ha!) on the fact that it would take another £200 and MORE effort for you to leave them.
Thus, bank switching remains anyone’s game. Banks know full well that bank-switching guides and subreddits exist, talking people through the process of maxing out the offers. Banks know that a small fraction of people are even motivated enough to make a game of it and cheekily farm cash with a burner account. And they know perfectly well that your attention span taps out at a £200 reward. That’s why banks do it. They know you’re not actually going to.
This is calibrated to neurotypical executive function, btw. That’s the price of the average UK person’s spare executive function to spend on an irritating task. £200.
It’s pretty odd to think about. Yeah, you’re tumblr broke - but not make-a-burner-account-and-get-£200-for-it broke.
I hope the irritation created by my writing about it in this deliberate way is enough to provoke you, the reader, into activation energy. I hope the spite and annoyance proves me wrong to the tune of £200 cash for you.
