and as i tell everyone all the time, fanfic + archive of our own would wither away without fair use
Fair use is what enables quote-dunking. It's what lets you make fun of elected officials by quoting their own words back at them. It's what allows gifs to exist in the first place. It's what makes software interoperable. It underpins literally everything online.

The spread of fascism has been met with protests, grassroots action, and lifesaving community-based mutual aid networks.

These groups are rely on a variety of tools to communicate, raise money, organize protests, and share information- the more privacy-preserving, the better!

NEW: Rep. Salman Bhojani said lawmakers were denied entry to Prairieland Detention Center, where Leqaa Kordia has been running “a high fever for several days” due to what he called inhumane conditions.

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.
was ‘heated rivalry’ failed by its publisher?
everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

Democrats can’t meaningfully claim to oppose Donald Trump while simultaneously pushing bad internet bills like KOSA, EARN IT, Section 230 limitations, and online ID laws, that *empower* the Trump administration to further censor, surveil, and prosecute marginalized people.

Really great coverage from @wired.com about our week of action against online ID verification and how these bills are setting a dangerous precedent by making the internet more exploitative rather than safer.

Great @wired.com reporting on the growing movement against online "age verification" legislation

(aka government mandated ID checks and face scans to access apps, websites and information online)

Congrats to my colleague @sarahephilips.bsky.social leading work on this.
