CALL-IN AGAINST AGE VERIFICATION!

In internet censorship news, the US House of Representatives is doing a markup on a package of bills relating to mandatory age verification online this week (As of 3/1/2026), these bills including the infamous KOSA and the App Store Accountability Act.

To make a very long story short, these bills would force everyone to use their IDs on huge swathes of the net and basically be the end of online privacy and, due to potential prohibitive costs of age verification, likely the end of the indieweb too; even after it's trying to pull itself up from the hole it's been stuck in.

It's not going for a full vote until after markup, but if we can stop it there, we should.

Here is a list of the members of the committee marking this bill up, each of their pages has contact info on it, it's worth calling them all if you can, but especially if they're in your district (Or you can convincingly lie that they are) because this affects us all.

Here's a call script provided by the Stop Internet Censorship Discord, if you need it, but either way light up those phones over the week, because holy fuck, do we need to kill these bills if we want to save the open web.

Because. what they were planning on doing to Discord, they want to do to everywhere, where we cannot escape it.

We cannot let that happen...

thinking about a lake i hiked to last year that was so small and cute. i jumped in to cool off and swam out to the middle, then looked down and saw trunks of entire dead trees dozens of feet below me and this is how i learned this particular lake is 100ft deep despite looking like a pond

[woodsdyke]

my immediate first thoughts were 1) damn im glad im a strong swimmer because this is a lake that eats people who can't swim and 2) i thought i had gotten past my fear of open water until right now

it looks so nice and deceptively shallow. but she'll get you

Me, trying to impress my date with a display of my boundless humility: I would like to order one single, solitary crumb.

Waitress taking my order: Such arrogance! Not only do you presume to boast under the guise of being humble, but your order employs the most decadent of linguistic excesses - the tautology!

My date, who until recently thought "tautology" referred to the study of tensile strengths and upon learning her mistake compensated by reading through its Wikipedia article: That would be more correctly identified as a "pleonasm".

The editor I hired to curate my posts who styles himself as a sort of scheming court advisor: My liege, this one is getting away from us. The punchline loses much of its impact when the rest of the joke is derailed by this increasingly self-indulgent meta humour. Were it up to me, your Grace, which of course it is not, I would cut the others and leave myself as the only supporting character. You need noone else, Your Majesty...

I remember when I was younger, anytime I watched a movie where the characters have to kill a scary monster/alien, I always thought the act of killing it was intended to be part of the horror. Like there’s this amazing creature that we’ve never seen before, and maybe under different circumstances we could’ve coexisted with it, but it’s trying to attack you and you have to defend yourself, but by destroying it you also destroy the ability to ever understand it and that’s sad and is supposed to make you feel conflicted.

It was not until well into my adulthood that I realized most people do not have complicated feelings about movies where people have to kill a scary alien monster, nor is that necessarily meant to be part of the narrative (unless it very obviously is). They just want the scary thing to die because it’s scary. I don’t have a real conclusion to this I just started thinking about it for some reason.

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

its glaringly obvious a lot of you people on here give zero shits about autistic people. youll reblog positivity posts and all that easy stuff but then demonize or make fun of autistic traits. autistic teens who have an anime or something “cringey” as a special interest are constantly bullied. allistics will aestheticize stims like slime and glitter and treat fidget cubes like cool toys but if someone dares stim in public by flapping their arms or making unusual noises or using fidget spinners after the fad is over is fair game to make fun of. i see characters who clearly read as autistic get called annoying or stupid or even abusive so fucking much. the rest of the time theyre coddled and treated as “innocent uwu” when they clearly arent and im done with this shit. you say you care but you bully that “stupid retard” in your english class and think youre hilarious. its just so fucking transparent that allistics on here think autistic people are jokes or monsters.

allistic people can and should reblog this.
