Guys, it got so much freaking worse. KOSA is bad, but SCREEN is even worse, somehow.
"Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries and apply it nationally to the internet.
Any site that has any amount of material "harmful to minors" would be forced to employ surveillance tech (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) to prevent minors from accessing "pornography."
You will not be surprised to learn that this is backed by the Heritage Foundation.
Unlike some of the state age-verification laws, many of which are being challenged in court, SC will be enforced by the FTC, which has the ability to levy fines, raid business and freeze bank accounts. Yes, meaning that even non-for-profits like Ao3 will suffer.
This is something for all US users to keep on their radar. Call your reps, call your senators, and spread the word to protect our archive!"
- When talking with Republicans play up the fact that this would force Elon to implement age verification systems on X (yes do call it X during the call). Elon's been threatening to primary Republicans who stand in his way so there's fear of him. Also play up concerns about "Liberals" doxxing people or Chinese hackers.
- When talking with Democrats, play up the connections to Project 2025 and suggest voters will not be happy to see Democrats siding with it.

sometimes you just see a popular post that makes you realize that you and the bulk of tumblr's userbase have very different life experiences

humans love to categorize and then assign personality traits based on those categories, ranging from the mundane to the incredibly concerning. its orange cat behavior. everyone is either an introvert extrovert of ambivert. whats your mbti? enneagram? your classpect? hogwarts house? i'm just a typical taurus. what's your IQ? don't blame me im just a girl. boys will be boys. take this online personality test to determine which of the 9 types of human you are. everyone fits into these boxes. you know what their kind are like.

The narrative lead of the mobile remake of DE is the marketing guy who pushed the "forbidden fruity kisses" marketing for collage mode
The mobile remake is streamlined into four preset linear game days, with no ingame clock. No free exploration
get a load of this guy:

Don't buy this thing. Don't help the algorithm by trying the free chapters en masse as it releases. Ignore this thing. Let this thing tank.
