Hey, PSA for younger/newer transmascs:
Tumblr has been showing targeted ads for "FTM binders" off Amazon. They look like this:
Do not buy these.
A binder is a piece of medical equipment. If you use one incorrectly, or use a poorly made one, you can really fuck up your ribs. This article from the Cleveland Clinic talks about how to bind safely.
A $14 binder is guaranteed not to be safe. There's a reason reputable companies charge more- sometimes a lot more. They have to carefully design binders so they don't crush your ribs or make you sick.
You know how everyone says Don't Bind With Duct Tape? Don't bind with Amazon binders.

The reason why causes like the fight against KOSA don't go anywhere is because you fuckers give up too quickly.
You see one advancement from that damned bill and drop your sword and say that it's over.
Wake the fuck up.
If we don't keep fighting, even if it's gone silent for a while, that shit's gonna go through without us even knowing. Fight tooth and nail. Show them that we can and will beat their asses if they don't straighten up. And don't just say we will. Actually do something if it does pass. They think we'll take this sitting down and will just lay there. We need to prove them wrong.
But if we don't get on their asses and lay down like cowards, they'll think they have power. You bitches who say "it was a good run" or "I can't do anything so we're fucked" are part of the problem.
KOSA and KOSA adjacent bills blatantly violate several amendments in the US constitution. People need to realize that.
And if you don't think you have a voice or can't stop it in any way, yes you can. Do research on your rights, don't just get your info from Tumblr or wherever else. Go on and search on your own. Especially if it's something you've seen and you're unsure if it's true.
Misinformation can murder a cause.
You can do things, you just need to find a group.
And don't just keep KOSA online. Tell people you know. Make them care. If they think it's a good idea, change their minds. Don't "agree to disagree."
And don't just not care because you've lost faith. You can still try. And if peace doesn't work, get physical. Get dirty. We've done it for causes like Palestine, we can do it for this.* (read the tags for my elaboration on that- i don't want people getting the wrong idea.)
Organize. Attack. Scream. Make them hear you. Because if we don't, they're gonna take full control.

Hello all.
I would like to correct a statement I made regarding the FAA and KOSA.
KOSA HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY ADDED TO THE MUST PASS BILL. THERE IS ONLY A STRONG PUSH FOR IT.
I want to apologize for spreading this false information and thank the people who have corrected me. I preach against misinformation but spread it myself by accident, and for that I want to apologize. My head has been scrambled the past few days and I haven't been thinking right.
EDIT: I'm reading into it, I guess there was a hearing today I wasn't aware of... I will update when I know for sure.

WARNING!!!!
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

KOSA update:
For anyone who hasn't seen (me included lol), the verge has put out an article about KOSA and how its not as clear if congress will pass it now as multiple other bills are competing against it and legislators are struggling to decide which to back.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/29/24086559/kids-online-safety-act-schatz-tech-groups
One of the proposed bills is this one
In short, instead of making a bunch of tech bros surrogate parents on the internet, instead it would invest a ton of money into actually going after and investigating actual child predators, modernize the cyber tipline, and do research on prevention/ detection programs, among a few other things.
So please, if you're American, you still have time to call up your reps and tell them you're against Kosa, which is good, but giving them suggestions like this bill is better

Hey, so, uh…
KOSA literally violates the First Amendment freedoms. If this is passed, then that means the Constitution and Bill of Rights are basically void, because Congress are ignoring them. THATS A PROBLEM
As a teen myself, it pisses me off. I wish for anarchy, with everything the US government has been doing, from supporting Israhell to this bullshit.
Please, do what you can to prevent this from getting passed. It violates everyone’s rights in the US, and if it gets passed, then we’re back to where we started; a monarchy. Just with far too many people.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
There's no WAY they're just gonna try and make the whole internet babysit kids rather than actually TARGET THE PEOPLE HARMING THEM or holding parents accountable
If this bill passes I may not be able to post here or on Youtube anymore
I may not be able to talk to my friends on Discord
I'll lose some of the most important people in my life
I'll lose some of the things that make me the happiest
This bill absolutely CANNOT pass, I'm literally begging that this doesn't pass
everybody go to the KOSA Masterpost and FIND A WAY TO HELP. Call your Senators/House reps, email them, reblog posts, spread the word, ANYTHING.
WE CANNOT LET THIS BILL PASS.

The goal for the KOSA international strike, is to stop using sites World Wide for two days straight, on March 31st (Easter Sunday) and April 1st (April Fools) that specifically would profit off of the extra user data and privacy concerns that KOSA brings up. Were doing these two days world wide, because holidays usually mean big web traffic, and a complete halt in web traffic on two holidays that happen to be back to back will be Disturbing for Profits. Additionally despite KOSA being a US bill, it will have detrimental effects on the whole world, considering how many websites are actively hosted in the US, but that also means the whole world has the ability to influence web profits and protest. We're aiming for big sites and browsers that make money by:
-using third party ads via algorithm
-selling user data, or otherwise disclosing data to third parties for profit
-sites that rely on online advertising to sell their products and services
As well as sites that censor marginalized groups and protests regularly.
That being said, so far the list of sites that are going on the strike list includes:
-Twitter/X (third party ads, censorship, and data collection)
-Google, the browser, as well as all of its subsidiaries (YouTube, GMail, Drive, Etc.) (third party ads and data collection)
-Bing, the browser as well as Microsoft online services like OneDrive (third party ads and data collection)
-Tumblr (third party ads, censorship, and data collection)
-TikTok (third party ads, censorship, data collection, and relies on advertising to sell its services)
-Snapchat (if people still use that??) (third party ads and data collection)
-Instagram (third party ads and data collection)
-Facebook (data collection, censorship)
-Twitch (third party ads) (those of you who watch streamers or YouTubers, should inform your favs en masse about the strike, as KOSA will have serious effects on their livelihood.)
-Amazon (relies on advertising)
-Etsy (relies on advertising)
-eBay (relies on advertising)
Additionally we wanna hit online subscription services hard too, especially storefronts that already use advertising to sell their products. This means cancelling and boycotting some streaming services you might not already be boycotting. Includes
-Cancelling Amazon Prime (See above)
-Cancelling Spotify Premium and Boycotting Spotify (third party advertising and data collection)
-Cancelling Netflix (Data collection)
-Cancelling Hulu (a subsidiary of Disney, already on the list of Boycotts for Palestine but also! Data collection, censorship, and third party ads)
-Cancelling Disney+ (See Hulu.)
-Cancelling Crunchyroll (Data collection and third party ads)
Then, US citizens, we want to use those two days to call, mail, or text (remember, were avoiding email services through Google or Microsoft, who are both big on data collection) house representatives im the US, demanding they not let KOSA pass. Threaten another, more extended boycott, as well as their soon to be up for reelection seats. I'll have a list of state house representatives put together soon, with contact information included.
We also want to support, both financially and with our presence, a handful of sites that don't profit off of users in any of the above ways, or censor users, that will also need legal funds to fight KOSA since they'll be targeted by it. The examples I have so far, are:
-Archive Of Our Own (completely user funded, no third party ads, no data collection, actively against censorship. AO3 has an account wait-list you can join if you haven't (unlikely given I'm posting this to Tumblr first lmao,) and is free to sign up for in this way.)
-Pillowfort (completely user funded, no third party ads, no data collection, actively against censorship. Pillowfort also has a free wait-list to sign up, and from my experience, will usually get you an account within a couple days max, so signing up now means you will have an account by the strike.)
Lastly, because this bill comes in wake of mass protests for the sake of Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, and other colonized peoples facing genocide, and is a threat to the privacy and safety of protestors, we're pairing the web shutdown with an economic shutdown, something I encourage anyone in any country that's actively being complacent or complicit in these genocides to participate in as well. Same rules as usual, do not spend money, and do not go to work if you can afford to on the 31st or 1st (for those on the other side of the planet, that's the 1st and 2nd for you, but you can always extend your own strikes to range between the 31st-2nd for maximum impact.)
If you have anything to add, please do, so that I can get this all sorted into graphics by March 14th in three days, which will give us two weeks time to spread the word as fast as we can, as efficiently as possible, and let people prepare accordingly. You can start talking about it now, and it would be helpful if others made graphics, reblog this post, and make their own posts about this too!
Happy #Easter-BlackOut babes ✌️
