GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

Reblog this post in every LEGAL way you can under the Tumblr guidelines with the appropriate tags. TELL AND TAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW, then add the tags to see below... and more if you can think of any complying.

Visit badinternetbills.com if you want to find a way to defeat KOSA. It WILL NOT take much of your time. Reblog with any other information or sources, too-- but make sure to reblog if you can.

Reblog if you support lgbtq+ content.

Reblog if you support questioning queer youth and/or abused youth getting the information they need.

Reblog if you support Ao3 and/or other sites that wholeheartedly preserve talentedly made media.

Reblog if you're going to repost this on other sites than Tumblr and spread the word across Twitter, Tik Tok, Pinterest, or elsewhere, alongside the link to badinternetbills.com.

Reblog if you think KOSA is unfair and shouldn't be anyone's problem -- including the adults ALL OVER THE DAMN EARTH forced to face the mass censorship it causes because "think of the American Children!".

Reblog if you support internet activism and Palestine.

Reblog if you hate fascism or censorship, and don't want actually serious and helpful conversations censored on the internet.

Reblog if you value the internet in any way at all whatsoever.

CHECK THIS PETITION, TOO! https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-kosa?recruiter=1331807538&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=sms&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf&recruited_by_id=57368c40-d0fd-11ee-98f7-2175430f819f&share_bandit_exp=initial-36809664-en-US

(Also, please reblog with at least "stop kosa" as a tag and not "kosa". I made the mistake of not adding just "kosa" as a tag...)

We won't let this stand any longer. Let's start a riot and get this trending.

hey all, my name is casper and i’m a black 21yo bigender person. every day i take the bus to and from work, and sometimes i fall asleep on the commute back– i have a very strenuous job and a long ride home. i’ve never had any problems with this until last night when i woke up to find that my belongings had been rummaged through. many things were missing from my bag, including my wallet and my $300 hearing aid. i rely on my hearing aid every day as i’m completely deaf in my left ear. today has been extremely stressful trying to figure out how i’m going to get a replacement hearing aid and state ID, i’ve had to cancel all my cards, and i just don’t know what else to do. i don’t like doing this but i have nowhere else to go. if anyone could spare a few bucks to help me get back on my feet, it would be mean everything to me.

tl;dr: help a black kid replace their stolen hearing aid.

If you exclusively focus on the hammercar explosion meme, you are missing the point, and you are making it easier for others to engage with this only from afar, where its funny and silly and comfortable

If you exclusively focus on the harassment devoid of its blatant transmisogyny, you are actively erasing our oppression from this conversation and how it disproportionately affects transwomen

Stop sharing memes and jokes about this as if they were separate from transmisogyny, as if this was just about a CEO taking looney tunes violence as a serious threat. It's about him, staff and other users in here seeing a trans girl as a threat

I've already seen people move on, forget about this, and return to normalcy. It's a mistake we've made before. Black people have talked about mass reporting and wrongful terminations being weaponized against them at great lengths and have done so for a really long time. They were targeted, harassed and wrongfully banned. They warned us. We didn't listen and we didn't do enough.

We have to continue to be as vocal as we can about this continued campaign of harassment and unfair treatment towards transwomen. It needs to stop. We need concrete changes in the reporting and moderating systems, as well as holding tumblr's staff accountable for its actions, their silence and their lies

Please, take action now. For the sake of transwomen, for those who were unjustly terminated before us, and for those who could be harassed next

Choose care, kindness and love for your trans sisters. If you want to show your support, show it now. Don't turn us into a joke

Propaganda under the cut (feel free to add more in the comments)

Taranza/Sectonia

Taranza/Sectonia

At first, the two were inseparable. Taranza gave Sectonia a mirror, so she could see how lovely she looked. But the mirror was cursed, slowly consuming her mind and corrupting her into a vain and cold tyrant, enslaving the flower people and setting her sights beyond the dreamstalk. Taranza tried to help. He ran interference so he could stop dreamland’s hero from thwarting her plans…but he made a mistake, and she cast him aside. Sectonia would have felt bad…but it seems she was no longer there. The curse of the mirror had claimed her completely. Taranza helped Kirby and Dedede defeat her…but he was left without his friend. It’s a loss that still sticks with him. He can summon Sectonia’s spirit to help him in battle, but just as quickly as she appears, she’s gone again, a reminder of the tragedy that has befallen these two.

Propaganda from @edgy-rozes

“Propaganda for Godzilla and Mothra: It's two radioactive creatures, one is a warning of nuclear warfare and the other is a deity of light and reincarnation, what more could you ask for in a monster x monster ship?”

[actually-insane-blorbo-bracket]

WORST ORGAN BRACKET FINALS - UTERUS vs APPENDIX

This is the final poll! If you want to see the propaganda for the other entrants, please check the #pollpropaganda tag. As this is the final, I'll be putting all available propaganda into the poll. And now, without further ado, the finalists:

The UTERUS is a reproductive organ located in the lower abdomen, around the pelvis. Its main purpose is to hold a developing fetus during pregnancy; it also secretes some hormones.

Prominent diseases of the uterus include endometriosis, cancer, adenomyosis, and prolapse.

Propaganda:

“…for storing babies and hurting … ouchy ouchy ouchy :(”

“ow yeouch owie!!! … Come on. It’s CLEARLY the worst”

“only 2 other species menstrate. Everyone else just reabsorbs the blood. Instead we now loose nutrients and attract predators”

“bleeds, cramps, hurts, and generally is the cause of discomfort for many of those who are in possession of one, particularly if they would rather not be reminded of its existence.”

“It causes pain monthly, can have cysts, growths in places growths should lot be, and all round makes life miserable. but also makes babies, which may or may not be a plus.”

“ENDOMETRIOSIS”

“This organ hurts me for a week every month. And gives me dysphoria so therefore it is transphobic and homophobic.”

“It’s the only human organ that regularly hurts without any sickness or injury going on. … The current workings of the uterus prove God is either non-existent, stupid, weak or malevolent.”

“It’s the one that bleeds for no reason. … Ancient people explained the way uterus functions as God hating women. I’d like to add that he’s also transphobic.”

“THE FUCKER THAT BLEEDS EVERY GODDAMN MONTH … IT FUCKING BLEEDS. EVERY DAMN MONTH. AND ON TOP OF THAT IT(OR MAYBE WHATEVERS CONNECTED TO IT) SENDS OUT WEIRD ASS HORMONES ALONG WITH THE BLEEDING. IT’S PAINFUL AS HELL AND MAKES ME FUCKING SAD WITH THOSE DAMN HORMONES. 'IM HERE TO MAKE BABIES'FUCK OFF. i do not want babies inside of me. have you even considered that. sure some people do want babies in there. not me. did you even ask me for consent before existing in MY BODY HUH? … only around half the population has this organ. the other fuckers should consider themselves luCKY to not have it. anyway i apologise for my excessive swearing i just hate periods”

The APPENDIX is a protruding section of the gut, appended to the small intestine and located in the lower right part of the abdomen. It is generally accepted to play an immunological role and house beneficial gut bacteria.

The most prominent disease of the appendix is appendicitis, which is described below.

Propaganda:

“It can suddenly get infected or straight up explode, which is fatal if not treated”

“it can randomly get infected and explode and kill you”

“Appendicitis”

“man it doesn’t do shit except explode. it might have used to help us process fruits and nuts though … it just doesn’t do shit except explode sometimes”

“…it doesn’t do jack shit … useless motherfucker. also it looks like a dick.”

“does nothing … useless bastard that fucks you up, no one asked for you you little bitch”

POLL RUNNER’S NOTE: Most information on the function of the appendix dates to the 21st century, and thus has changed recently and may change again.

Do you think your favorite Morally Grey Blorbo is mistreated by the fandom? Do people not understand them? Are they constantly compared to the likes of Satan?

Or, on the flip side, are people saying they did nothing wrong? Constantly overlooking key characteristics, making it seem like they like the character in their head more than the character you got? Making them into a morally pure saint when they really aren't?

TL;DR: Does the fandom not seem to know the Definition of Morally Grey?

Well, I have good news!

WELCOME TO MISREPRESENTED MORALLY GREY!

RULES:

-No Harry Potter Characters

-No Real People

-2 Submissions or More guarantee entry

-DO NOT USE FAN ART!

-Morally Grey is Subjective. If I get an Ask saying that *insert Character Here* does not deserve to be here, I will make a poll for you to decide

-Cutoff date is February 29th, 2024

-There will be 4 Brackets, 'They Did Nothing Wrong' (A-Side), 'They Did Everything Wrong'(B-Side), Both (C-Side) and Mixed (D-Side)

Please help this Sudanese family get to safety!! Reblogs are much appreciated!!

[actually-insane-blorbo-bracket]

you can give seven days of internet connection to someone in gaza for just 6 USD

gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. you can get a $3 discount by using someone's referral code from the notes of this post. it also will give the referrer credit to buy more esims! (you can only use a referral code on your first purchase) BACKPACKNOMAD is another code to get $3 off your first purchase, it's been working for some people but not others so try out a referral code instead if you can't get it to work. also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away. (logging back into your nomad account seems to have helped some people get their emails to send!) (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)

edit as of 1/1/24: they are running out of all esims types right now! please donate esims from any of the platforms: nomad, airalo, holafly, simly, and mogo. here is a purchase guide i made that covers all of them. the crew is asking for people to reply to emails they sent that contain esims that are still unactivated. you can see gothhabiba’s guide for how to tell if your esims have been activated.

my friend harmony is a disabled trans lesbian who was recently kicked out ( twice ) by transphobic relatives and friends . she’s been applying to jobs , most of which have not responded , and the ones that have responded rejected her . she currently has no source of income and nowhere to sleep except for her car . the temperature is below negative where she lives and she desperately needs to stay in hotels until she can find a stable place to call home .

this is an ongoing situation – harmony needs money for food , gas for her car , and hotel rooms to sleep in . even a few dollars would help her tremendously . if you can’t afford to help monetarily , please boost this post !! thank you for reading
