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.

SCRIPT

Hi, my name is [], and I am one of Senator []’s constituents. I live in [city, zip code - leave your full address if leaving a voicemail].

I am calling in regards to a bill that was recently introduced in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transport: the SCREEN act.

I am asking Senator [] to either take no action or vote against this bill because of its implications for freedom of speech. [insert one of the other concerns listed above]. Thank you for your time and for listening to my concerns.

i'm depressed. indefinite hiatus.

i have no passion for anything in my life anymore and i'm so very sorry for being a disappointment to you all. i'm sorry i'm not on point like a lot of other authors. i thought i could be good, but the longer i'm rejected from potential jobs, i fail at every single hobby i have... i don't know. thank you for letting me feel special for a few years. i don't think i would have made it this far without the people who engaged with my works. i'm sorry i'm not good enough to be the author you deserve.

thank you

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)

The Destiny Barista - Master List

Paring: Barista!Reader and Sylus, Caleb, Rafayel, Zayne, Xavier (all separate instances)

Rating: G

Story Content Warning: This is pure, entertaining headcanon fluff.

Story Summary: You have been working as a Barista at the Destiny Cafe for years, and it's always been a job you love. But no job is without its challenges; your regulars always seem to keep you on your toes.

A/N: This creation came from a silly conversation between @humanitys-strongest-brat , @amywritesthings , and @ackerbootytobbi about what it must be like to be working in this cafe and seeing the same five men over and over and over just...wait.

This story is more one shots in an overall AU. There's no real plot - just fun thoughts. There's no real timeline as these ideas I'm sure will come and go.

If you have an idea though, I'd love to hear it! Let's make fun, fluffy headcanons together!

The Beginning - An Introduction (Coming Soon!)

What's In A Name? - (Sylus Focus - Coming soon!)

It Wasn't Yours ( Rafayel Focus - Coming Soon!)

Come Work for Me (Rafayel & Sylus Focus - Coming Soon!)

Latte Art ( Rafayel Focus - Coming Soon!)

More to come....

[amywritesthings]

you only writing smut to push an agenda is so funny to me

thank god for the existence of that stigma in particular i guess, else we might not have SU or hotline levi

Ha! Long time readers know that I've been vocal about how technical I take my sex scenes and how much they tend to frustrate me, so I procrastinate. And re-write. And procrastinate. Then read the sex scenes out loud to myself. Then lay down on my bed to double check the limb position isn't confusing. Then re-write. Then procra--

You get the idea.

The idea that sex in fictional settings is becoming more and more taboo, and sexuality (especially in my stories, since I like to think I make my female protagonists as horny as the canons they're in relations with!) is 'bad' or 'immoral' helps motivate me to be less harsh on myself so I can focus instead on joining authors who reject the idea that smut = bad, gross or gratuitous. 🥰

[amywritesthings]

i actually hate writing smut but i have to combat the 'sex is bad and should not be talked/celebrated' wave so i persist with some kinky ass shit for both SU and DOAP 😅

bisexual people are very much real, valid, and do not have to reach some arbitrary body count quota to 'prove' their sexuality
