YouTube Blackout Update

KEEP THE BLACKOUT GOING FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS! People unaware of this update are discovering what's going on. There's a reason why YouTube decided to do this on a Hump Day because viewers are either at school, work, or on vacation. Keep spreading the word!

I think i have a migraine today because the two people I despise the most on this planet are together in one spot being fucking evil

Had a conversation with a non-Ukrainian friend today that really stuck with me. They were talking about visiting and casually mentioned maybe finding a cheap flight. And I just... Freezed for a moment before saying, "The airspace is closed."

They genuinely asked, "Why?"

It caught me off guard. I forget sometimes how easy it is for people outside of Ukraine to not know what's going on here. But the reality is, we're still in constant danger. Air raid sirens, missile attacks, sleepless nights—it hasn’t stopped.

I don’t want to be aggressive about it, but I do want to remind people: Ukraine is still fighting, still struggling, still suffering. Please don’t forget about us.

Hiiii how do Leshys minibosses behave around him? Are they friends or... ?

Also do you have any take on Valefar 👀

mmm I honestly don't know. Never gotten around sketching the designs of the other two before, might figure out what to do with them later. Barbatos does get along with Leshy i think.

Heyyy guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my rent again and really need help to avoid our situation going to court and being subsequently evicted.

We've had a verbal agreement (stupid, I know) with our property management since February that we would pay half of our rent at the beginning of the month and the second half at the end of the month, since that's how our money comes in. This agreement worked out fine until July, when we went to make the first payment for the month and our property manager reached out to let us know that they would no longer be allowing us to make partial payments, and if we wanted to pay rent we had to have the full amount and we'd have to pay through cashier's checks (something we can't do because we use an online bank) or use their WIPs (which is hard when you don't have a car and you have to secure extra money for transportation).

We're in contact with several places to hopefully secure rental assistance, but it doesn't sound like they'll be able to help us in time, and our money for the second half of this month doesn't come in for another two weeks and we have until the 19th to pay or be taken to court. We're so close to having our financial situation fixed, and I just really need help one more time.

Hey guys something fucking bad happened

KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.

Okay so bad news for everyone on YouTube right now

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day, no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

I am begging people who still say “Manifest Destiny” for any reason to understand that it means, very literally and without exaggeration, “White Power”
