Continue calling your representatives about these federal bills. All of these are some flavor of bad-for-the-internet.
additionally, try to emphasize how much you want to see legislation passed to stop paypros from censoring/debanking legal work!

I genuinely hope we all come out of this absolute fuckass of a stretch of time feeling much less apathetic about everything. Even if all you can do is complain to management, it feels better than just doing nothing.

Hey companies, I would MUCH prefer you just raise the price of something than keep making shit smaller #shrinkflation
Of course, if I’m choosing, I’d rather you just suck it up and be cool with making “mind-blowing” profit instead of your usual “nutshit bonkers pants-creaming” profit

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA).
remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"
remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"
This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene.
Period. Full stop. No more porn legally. If you post porn whether free pics or paid vids. this affects you!

Artists have been making their blood, sweat, and tears available for free as a statement against payment processor censorship. Please seek out ways to pay them if you can!
❤️Itchio reindexing free nsfw content reminded me that what I really love is to know that people can see my work.
So I'm making Libby & Holly Ch:1 free now⤵️

KOSA is back, speak of the devil. Let's kill it again!
Current call to actions include:
- EFF: act.eff.org/action/congr...
- www.stopkosa.com
- actionnetwork.org/petitions/ce...
The goal of this is to signal to lawmakers this bill is not popular and shouldn't be brought before Congress (should die in committee or elsewhere).

Stop KOSA
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 free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!
