ATTENTION MINORS
I know you guys have been seeing the posts going around about Earn-It and KOSA and things of the like, and talking about how bad those things are. And you're right, they're really, really bad. But, you're not old enough to help participate in helping out, right, since you're a minor?
WRONG.
Minors out there who are concerned about these issues: YOU CAN HELP US. KOSA and CSAM specifically are acts to create widespread censorship and invasion of privacy to "protect kids," so if anything, your younger voices are stronger than ours!
I've compiled some resources for you guys to help out. Note that if you sound old enough, you do not have to disclose your age if you don't want to. The point is that there is a public outcry, not that you're under 18.
If you don't know what the bills are or what they do, here's a Doc that explains all that with links to different reading material where you can learn all about it there (note: as of posting this, the Restrict Act is not currently updated. Check back in the future for updates to the doc).
The two we really need to worry about right now are KOSA and CSAM.
KOSA is a bill being passed that would effectively let the government censor anything they want online, which can and will include minority voices, LGBTQ content, and anything they deem "unsafe" for kids (such as the suicide hotline).
CSAM is another law that preaches about protecting kids, but would actually be used to spy on everyone. It's a trojan horse.
There are a couple more, which are all covered more in-depth here on this site (scroll down):
Here's a few more resources for you guys, and then I'll get into how you guys can help!
KOSA
CSAM
EARN-It
(Light flash warning for this one, just in case)

RESTRICT Act
Alright, with all the reading out of the way, let's get into what to do.
How YOU can help!
Minors: you are not helpless. You are not powerless. The point is that there is a public outcry, and the fact that you are so young could be an advantage to stopping bills like KOSA and CSAM.
If your voice can pass as an adult's, YOU CAN CALL. If you don't think your voice can pass, YOU CAN EMAIL, TEXT, SIGN PETITIONS, and honestly, you MAY STILL be able to call.
Here's how calling works. It's gonna be scary the first time around, I know, but you've got this.
First: find out who your representatives are. This website right here makes that very easy. Go to the dropdown for your state and find it, and your two reps should automatically pop up.
Next, see if they're a Republican or a Democrat. This should be in parenthesis next to their names. Here's Michigan's and Mississippi's reps as examples of what that looks like:
How you phrase your words will differ depending on the party they're in, this is important.
Next, you'll see under their names an address, phone number, and some bibliography. (I kept using the Michigan ones cuz I was already on their page, so if you're from Michigan, here's the numbers right here.)
Let's get ready to call now.
Now, when I say "call," I don't mean exclusively by phone. You can also fax them or email them.
Here's a website you can use to fax them.
To find their email address, google it. [Name] email, and if they've got one, it should pop up there.
Now, the hard part: actually calling.
Before we go any further, reminder that these people are just that: people. They're not idols, they're not gods, they're not worth any more than you are. Dehumanize them as much as you need to in your head. They're not scary, they're human.
Now, for each bill, you can either make it all separate or keep all your words in one email, as it were. How you want to do this is up to you. But, if you're feeling lost for words, there are also scripts you can use as a base.
Here's an email to a Democrat about KOSA, for example:
And this one has emails for both sides:
The long and short of it goes like this:
Your name and something about you (I'm a retail worker) (I'm a minor) (I go to [name] school)
Explain why you're calling (I urge you to stop [bill])
Explain why the issue matters to YOU. (I am a minor, and pushing this law would do irreparable damage, not help us. Here's a bit of why.)
Ask the representative you're calling to help
Thank them for listening.
Keep it courteous- they'll be more likely to listen to you if you're calm and collected. I know emotions are high right now, and it's okay to let desperation in, but don't yell or scream at them, you'll only drive them away from trying to stop anything.
More than likely, you won't be speaking to that rep directly, but the message should still be clear and reach them.
If you're faxing or emailing, there's more room to go off about issues in more depth, since there isn't someone on the other end of the line. You can say as much as you'd like, but still try to keep it polite.
You guys are powerful, and your young voices can add to this fight. You do not have to be an adult to call something unjust. Stand with us. Together, your voices will make us stronger.

Hey! Please sign this petition against KOSA or Kids Online Safety Act. This bill will endanger children and teens instead of protecting them. It will grant state attorney generals too much power over the internet, and it will do more harm to the youth and the internet as a whole The Hertiage Foundation has also openly stated they will use it to censor all queer and trans content

to me censored is like if you fed a lot of images of carmen into a neural network and put a horror filter over the final result
#i was urged into posting her online#ok#i loooove censored shes so freak to me#i like the idea of it being able to adapt to whatever fucked up thoughts you could have in a moment#but since a is staring through the cameras all the time its sort of forced to look like carmen somewhat#and it looses that “elasticity”#i miss herrrrrrrr come back to meeeee censored mirror dungeon please#idgaf about limbus but i wanna see her again#pm#project moon#mi sitelen#50#100

obviously kosa is going to really dangerous for minorities and such but shouldn't it be enraging republicans as well? if you guys distrust the government so much why are you trusting them with and ACTUAL CENSORSHIP BILL. maybe someone should tell them that's what's happening. that's it's trying to take away their constitutional rights of free speech.
#obvious conservatives only want a small government until it comes to oppressing minorities、in which case they want a large government、#but whose to say the bill won't be used to censor them too? they don't know that. they should be outraged#someone PLEASE explain to them that this isn't a “save the kids” situation but a “violating your rights” situation. please.#since they haven't seemed to figure it out thmeselves.#they worship the constitution like it's some holy grail so surely this will work#kosa#kosa bill#fuck kosa#stop kosa#kids online safety act#politics#us politics#unityrain.txt

lil psa, because some people need to hear this.
self harm scars, no matter how bad- If they’re fully healed? They do not need to be fucking covered or require a trigger warning for your comfort, end of discussion. I don’t give a shit if they are wide, or long, or fucking red- scars can heal differently and change colors in different temperatures. I have scars, and I’m not going to cover up because you can’t handle seeing HEALED scars wider than a hair strand.
#I’m fucking angry right now#Saw a post#Sharing my opinion as someone who has very not romanticized scars#My scars don’t require a censor just because your chronically online ass can’t handle seeing it#Self harm scars#Self harm recovery#Tw self harm#Onyx rants⭐️

the d*nm*shi fandom climate is genuinely so fucking putrid and infighting-heavy it actively kind of reminds me of what d*eam smp was like before it died miserably
#vent#note: dmeshi is in no way responsible for this. that anime goes hard as fuck but the levels of toxicity and infighting have fully killed#it for me in the fandom. and that's such a shame :( no one can act normal#note these are censored because unlike everyone else in that fucking fandom i'm not going to put neg in main tags#negative#i've been trying to stay away from the fandom and just enjoy it on my own terms but because it's so big it's literally impossible to escape#cannot go 5 minutes of watching it casually without some fucking goon online going IF YOU ENJOY THIS YOU NEED TO KEEP#YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE FOR INTERNET CRIMES. like hello

i remember i used to think that people who said that the american flag is racist were kinda overkill until i actually fucking thought about it for like, 2 seconds
the american flag is pretty much a bragging symbol of “hey look at how much g3n0cide we comitted! Look at how many people we erased from history! look at how much land we stole!”
fucking disgusting

I've seen a lot of posts and polls lately asking stuff like "would you be interested in XYZ", and like...while I understand wanting that external validation and wanting people to be interested in and passionate about your projects and all ofnthose things, it is your blog. You know that, right?
I don't mean that to sound condescending, but I genuinely think that sometimes folks, myself included, can forget that these are our blogs. Where we curate what we love on them.
Tumblr is a refuge of anonymity where you can post about whatever it is that makes you happy for no reason at all and no one can say anything about it. Because you can block people and anons, you can turn off anon and messaging and submissions.
You can create a refuge for youself here and if people don't like it then they can move on and curate their own experiences and learn to regulate and take responsibility for themselves. (Which they need to be doing anyway. Don't let anyone bully you into taking responsibility for their online experiences.)
You don't have to ask permission to share your passion projects here.
Asking permission from followers, trying to appease followers and gain their approval is going to kill your creativity.
I know first hand how badly it feels when things don't take off the way you want them too. But don't let that discourage you from being passionate and creative.
If you love what you're doing then that's enough.
#screaming into the void#ive seen this in so many fandom spaces#and ill admit im guilty of not sharing things im passionate about because im afraid of how it will or wont be recieved#but if there is any place online where we can truly say fuck it we ball it should be tumblr#tumblr and ao3 are the places where creativity should be running ramped and wild#not stiffled or censored for likes and approval#who do you think we are here? tiktok and instagram????#this is tumblr the whole point of it is to go balls to the wall with the most absurd nonsense that captures your fancy ans whim#2024 is the year we release our creativity and let it go feral#and given all the creative aspirations that fall under apollo's domain im sure he'd approve that idea

Oh dear, that Sunday Times article must be devastating for you.
Benedict Cumberbatch talks extensively and fondly about his children and parents. No mention of his mother abusing him, in fact quite the opposite, he talks about what wonderful, supportive, loving parents he has.
And other people from the film also talk a lot about his family, wife and children. Almost as if the actual people who spend time with him have no hesitation in acknowledging the reality of his three lovely boys.
HERE'S MY ANSWER. YOU STUPID FUCKERS WANT TO KEEP POKING THE BEAR, THEN THAT BEAR IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT A BUS LOAD OF CREEPS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS PROJECT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

if you make a post on a site that has filtering features and acknowledge that something in your post might be commonly filtered so you intentionally try to bypass those filtering features, then you are an asshole. i dont care what the cause is, people make use of content filters for a reason.
#srs09:m:haix#this is a post that has been brewing for a few days#i already have to fight with the fact that im unable to filter specific triggering content that sets off hallucinations and other shit#i cant filter those on tumblr at least bc of the janky way filters get matched#please dont make my life more stressful.#like maybe just fucking maybe someone wants go spend 20mins online and not be triggered when they specifically made use of filtering#even if its serious news or a petition or a donation drive or whatever#like i know the reason for those specifically you ask ppl not to tag them is so they get more reach#and like obviously i KNOW why you want these posts to get reach but if you intentionally bypass filters all its going to do//#//is piss people off (at best) or severely impact them (at worst)#if youre posting something medical & censor every medical word then you are a dick#if you post something about some tragedy (fiction or fact) and you ask people to not add tw tags on. you are a douche

I feel sick
#kosa. this.#my entire life has been art#why does everything hate me#I can't do anything else. i don't know anything else#sell my hard work off without paying me to something I didn't concent to#spit in my face#they might start censoring us. Taking away our freedom to express ourselves online#tbh I don't want to live in a world like this anymore#what's the fucking point if they're going to keep taking everything from me#I can't just start over. I can't go back to being nothing#I like it here. But I can't stay here- with my art anyways#how the fuck am I supposed to join a community#on other sites#and if kosa passes..#will they tare me apart from my friends? Will they sensor everything?#why do they hate us so much. Why does every rich person hate us so much#what did we do to deserve this.#vent

probably going back to E///D inpatient, potentially as early as before Xmas. So that's fucking fun. Last time I was there they wouldn't let me outside for over a month because of my ""noncompliance"". I might be in SEED protocol this time (even though I don't meet the definition? I'm almost 30 but I've only had it 4 yrs. IDK why they said that so 🤞) so hopefully they'll be willing to give the barest accommodations to my other disabilities. Last time I had to advocate for myself to be able to... cross my legs at meals. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful I have access to one of the less bad programs in the country and probably the only one with mandatory masks 🎉 and hope to use this time to work on certain projects with fewer electronic distractions, and but... yea
#survivingpsych#antipsychiatry#psychiatric abuse#sorry i had to censor that it sometimes attracts the p///ro blogs just to say it#hence part of the reason i rarely talk about it on tumblr#I also just fear TMI or oversharing#I dont want to make anyone uncomfortable#so I just hide my whole life online#bc mental health shit#trauma shit#and psychiatry shit#is basically my whole life and has been since I was a kid#I'm tired of it so I'm just gonna be fucking honest going forward#I mentioned it on 2 different discord servers I'm in
