"Lady Xi. I've been sent to work under you for the week. Might I ask what you may need me to do?"

- @agent-nakuweeds (you're now my first official interaction w/ naku!!)

Ah, yes, keep the lab running smoothly in my absence. I’ll be going on a day trip to Liyue.

Additionally, look after @puppetofverdure if she ever comes back from being with that petty little man. Be kind to her, she’s very useful to us Fatui.

I expect only the best work from you :)

okay. important question.

if there is a google doc with the access setting to "anyone with the link," will people be able to find out the creator of the doc?

i tried it out myself and i wasn't able to see who the creator was, and i was also looking around on here for an answer, but i'm still not entirely sure...

Jen what do you think about the Louis ban on UK and US radio stations?

I think it demonstrates a singularly spectacular lack of reading comprehension and/or curiosity about current music played on UK and US radio stations

Watching this historical epic/biopic movie that is currently focusing on the relationship between these two guys and early in the movie, one guy taught the other guy to wrestle, in a series of scenes that involved both men stripping shirtless and grappling each other. Naturally I looked at that and went “Huh, kinda gay 😏”

Of course 1) that’s kind of amatonormative! And 2) this is a Chinese movie, so there’s some cultural differences. But 20 minutes and a timeskip later, the two guys meet up again, one having been caught napping half naked in the local temple, and this guy immediately decides to convince his friend to strip topless (again) and wrestle.

His Ass Is Not Beating the Gay Allegations lmao

i hate talking about anarchy online bc its such a muddled word at this point but it does frustrate me when people, esp leftists, do to "anarchists" what has already been done to "communists" aka saying that an existing problem that happens bc of capitalism is bc of anarchy/will be a thousand times worse under anarchy

it is interesting to me that the about pages of today are now just pinned tumblr posts. i kind of miss visiting peoples blogs and seeing their unique themes and finding a decked out about page for each individual. i suppose most people are probably blogging on their phones now though

the kids online safety act passed the u.s. senate.

long story short (for anyone who hadn't heard of this before) the kids online safety act, aka kosa, is a bill that will censor online content and resources for lgbtq+ matters, reproductive healthcare, activism (INCLUDING PALESTINE AND LIKELY OTHER CRISES GOING ON LIKE IN CONGO OR SUDAN), mental health, etc. everywhere--its effects likely won't be contained to just america.

today, july 30th, 2024, the senate passed it 91-3. it has officially moved to the house of representatives.

is this a pretty massive setback? yes. do you have every right to be scared, sad, angry, or whatever else about this happening? absolutely. but should you give up hope completely? NO!

even though kosa passed the senate, the house is on break/august recess at the moment. we have around an entire month to get emails, calls, and faxes in to house reps, maybe more depending on when they decide to vote on it.

should it pass the house and get signed into law, we still have a whole 18 months before it actually goes into effect. this is plenty of time for digital rights orgs (e.g. fight for the future, the electronic frontier foundation) and other groups that oppose it to file a lawsuit against it. even if, worst-case scenario, it flies through the house immediately after the recess ends, we can still fight this up to march 2026.

so, yes, remember what's at stake here, but also remember that it's not over yet. we lost a battle, not the war.

below are some resources to learn more about kosa and how to contact your reps (first link) + a page that lets you directly contact progressive house reps, sign an open letter opposing the bill, and view others' testimonies against it (second link):

FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.
