Making another important post about KOSA.

Please do not wait around. I will continue to advocate that these bills are struck down since they will harm our youth and LGBTQ minors. It will also strip privacy away from adults.

I do not want kids to loose access to LGBTQ+ spaces. I also don’t want adults to have to enter their private information to access it.

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr

What is KOSA?

Kids Online Safety Act

What would it do?

KOSA uses two methods to “protect” kids, and both of them are awful.

First, KOSA would pressure platforms to install filters that would wipe the net of anything deemed “inappropriate” for minors. This = instructing platforms to censor, plain and simple. Places that already use content filters have restricted important information about suicide prevention and LGBTQ+ support groups, and KOSA would spread this kind of censorship to every corner of the internet. It’s no surprise that anti-rights zealots are excited about KOSA: it would let them shut down websites that cover topics like race, gender, and sexuality.

Second, KOSA would ramp up the online surveillance of all internet users by expanding the use of age verification and parental monitoring tools. Not only are these tools needlessly invasive, they’re a massive safety risk for young people who could be trying to escape domestic violence and abuse.

90+ rights groups agree that KOSA is dangerous.

Like above these If you don't know what to do and have a phone no matter what age (yes including kids and teenagers) you are you can call and email your senators.

Men will take psychedelics and have realizations I had while I was a mosquito sucking blood out of an antelope in a previous life

the reason men are getting more conservative is very simply that as a class, as a socioeconomic group, their power is being threatened by womens civil rights. its the same reason for the broad surge in right wing politics. its called a backlash and its also why most civil war monuments are from the era of the black civil rights movement and not actually from the civil war.

I really wish arknights didn't have a character who's named for an ethnic slur of my people

http://www.rsdb.org/slur/lapp

If you wouldn't use esk*mo, g*psy, or r*dskin, you shouldn't use l*pp.

honeylemony

Like. Why is this okay. Why do people support this.

honeylemony

It's also fucked up that this character is snow/cold themed and animal themed. Two things that Sámi people, and other arctic circle native groups, are typically racially stereotyped with. Sámi people are not animals and we are not "snow eaters".

honeylemony

Hey arknights fans can you not be in my replies telling me, a sámi person, how to feel about an ETHNIC SLUR being used as a fun character name? I know gacha games rot your brain but can you attempt one critical thought on this?

honeylemony

Actually I'm going to need non-indigenous people to reblog this. The only reason shit like this gets excused is because people don't know anything about sámi people. Begging people to listen to us and understand how painful it is to see hate speech treated like a fun character feature.

honeylemony

I really appreciate everyone interacting with this is in good faith ❤️ it's been really nice to see such an outpouring of love and understanding.

To the Arknights fans still in the notes saying "it's just a place name!!" Where do you think the placename came from? L*pp land is just a way that surrounding Sweden, Nord, and Finn culture referred to "the place where the fucking L*pps lived". It is STILL a slur when referring to the Place.

There have been some good questions on how Sámi territory should be referred to going forward. I would ask that you use our chosen name, Sàpmi. The nation/place is Sápmi, the people are Sámi. If anyone has any other questions please feel free to ask, I really appreciate people caring about our culture.

If anyone is interested in learning about other Sámi issues, please keep eyes on the illegal windfarm construction that we recently successfully fought against.

The old world is dying. The new world had that thing happen where the umbilical cord gets caught around the neck as it's coming out, yuuuurk, no new world either. So it's basically just gonna be monsters forever

artbyblastweave

And for the last time, you can't fuck the monsters. They aren't the kind of monsters you can fuck

toastedicarus

Had it with all this bullshit grimdark worldbuilding just for the sake of edginess with nothing to actually say. I'm going to fuck the monsters.

artbyblastweave

Listen, buddy, I get it when it's monstrosity-as-a-marker-of-marginalization or it's a, a commentary on arbitrary constructions of beauty standards or whatever. That's one type of monster, that's fine. Very fuckable type of monster. But we're talking about, like, the metaphysical worldly manifestations of imperialist warmongering and rapacious depletion of the environment and systemic racism and shit like that. And I mean it's obviously not conceptually impossible to eroticize all that, you see people doing it, but it's fraught, right? It's fraught. Thin Ice. And if you're gonna go there you can't be flippant about what you're doing, man. This shit affects people's lives in real, non-metaphorical ways. When I was at CVS I just saw three or four anthromorphic personifications of the concept of medical debt pulling a little old lady apart like a wishbone
