Donate to Aid Our Journey to a Secure Life, organized by Hannah McDonald

Hi, I’m Hannah and I am heavily considering leaving the United States alongside my fr… Hannah McDonald needs your support for Aid Our Journe

In light of recent events, I am heavily considering immigrating but the cost alone is enough to make me a little pessimistic about being able to. The current goal is for something called a settlement fund. If you are able to donate a little bit that would be a bit help.

FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE - KOSA Moving, Now with Meta's Support

Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again.1

If you’ve been around for our years-long fight against the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA)2 and its similarly disastrous friends like the SCREEN Act,3 you know what time it is. Let’s get phones in Congress ringing off the hook with one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors, and surveils the Internet.

STOP BAD INTERNET BILLS

Like always, we expect proponents of these bills to tell you that they want to hold Big Tech accountable. But it’s beyond time we see past their BS. The reality is, more Big Tech companies support bills like KOSA than oppose them.4 Most recently, Meta dropped its opposition to KOSA, salivating at the promise of federal preemption of state AI regulations that lawmakers are trying to package with it.5 That’s the same Meta that has allegedly poured millions of dollars into groups lobbying for the App Store Accountability Act.6

Companies like Meta may be evil, but they’re not stupid: they’re doing what best protects their business model and bottom line. They know that bills like KOSA provide good cover from heat about kids safety, while skirting real change that would better protect everyone’s safety and privacy online, like comprehensive privacy legislation, algorithmic justice, and antitrust action. Don’t let lawmakers distort reality. These “kids safety” bills will harm more than they help. Call now and demand lawmakers pass real protections for everyone, not censorship bills. Solidarity, Sarah Philips at Fight for the Future

Unfortunately I don’t have the link to the original post, but it’s in the proposal itself, so it can be read there.

[nerdyrosie]

My brain is starting to think about the changes to make that could have made TADC better, with the medium itself, all the fandom stuff and controversies, I can’t quite fix.

Would a couple more episodes focused of the rest of the ensemble have made the show better? Not necessarily a full on 20 episodes but maybe a 12 or 13 episode season.

Same number of episodes in season 1 of Ben 10 classic.

I might have a new writing project in the future.

[nerdyrosie]

I’ve seen like only a few people make the Thunderbolts comparison to TADC and I’m tempted to do an actual comparison/analysis post even though I don’t tend to do that.

But then again would anyone actually be interested in that?

[nerdyrosie]

I think Thunderbolts did its ending better than TADC. And if you know the meanings and what the stories are about in both this is not an out of pocket comparison.

Both deal heavily in the topic of mental health and the importance of community.

One of the better Marvel movies in recent years.

[nerdyrosie]

Filler Episodes are underrated as a character developer.

I don’t think Jax’s abstraction should’ve been on screen.

There’s something about the idea of watching someone essentially fully commit suicide or go into a rough mental place that doesn’t sit right with me.

Plus we already got a good glimpse of it in episode 7, you kind of already know what goes on in the mind of someone about to enter that state.

There are somethings in the finale that do need to be a little polished but I don’t see how they handled Jax’s abstraction being one of them.

[nerdyrosie]

Think it’s a possibility that Ragatha doesn’t know about Twilight?

[nerdyrosie]

Fun fact a long standing critic of mine has been that I make too many characters.

It was true in the fourth grade and it’s still true in my almost mid twenties.

My solution? Fuck it. Still make that story.

[nerdyrosie]

Why do I always get sucked into things with bad fandoms?

[nerdyrosie]

Went to watch the Sheep Detective movie for some mild happy hormones to combat stress why the fuck am I tearing up a little?!

THE FUCK YOU MEAN ITS A LORD AND MILLER FILM!! WHY DO THESE GUYS COOK?!

[nerdyrosie]

So…Azmuth is a backpack in Fortnite. Honestly he looks more comfy than other times he’s been held.

Look at him. Look at him relaxy.

[nerdyrosie]

So we all agree that the 3/4 of the main cast of The Drama are shitty people, correct?

(The characters not the actors; for the most part I think)

[nerdyrosie]

New Digital Circus just dropped:

Zooble said it best

“Holy shit”

[nerdyrosie]

Idk if this year has just been so fucking hard already for me or I’m just fucking depressed.

Either way, thank you TADC and Marvel Rivals for keeping me from the void.

[nerdyrosie]

Think Pomni made her own version of “We didn’t start the fire” when explaining to everyone what they missed in the real world while they were trapped?
