(TW: Mentions of CSA (child sexual abuse)

All of these bad "protect minors" internet bills (KOSA or as I like to call it "Kill Online Speech Act", Bill S-210, Bill SB976, the EU bill for Chat Control, etc) frustrate me like crazy, but the reason why KOSA annoys me the most, beside the fact it requires government ID upload worldwide to use the web, not just in North America, (something these American pro KOSA politicians like to forget) when people outside of the USA did not consent to it, but also because it is very hypocritical to push Kill Online Speech Act to law this year to "protect kids" when the USA has child marriages still legal in so many states!

Excuse me Marsha Blackburn, Richard Blumenthal, Chuck Schumer, and Rob Wittman, do you (especially Schumer and Blumenthal since these 2 has been pushing for KOSA the most) not realize how weird it looks to push for KOSA in America to "protect kids" when these "marriages" are still around? Getting a 16 year married to someone 4+ years older than them is way worse than most things on the internet. At least they can they can close or turn off their smartphone/computer. Getting out of a "marriage" like that would be super difficult.

—

Since an Committee mark up (not an actual vote yet) for KOSA is happening this Wednesday (September 18th) please, if you're an American, email or call them calmly (unlike me in this post doing a vent) to vote NO on KOSA and patiently explain why this bill should not happen. Tell them how bad it would look for America if KOSA becomes a thing to "protect kids" when the end of legal child marriages didn't happen and wasn't a priority before any internet bill. Please tell that other danger to kids offline that should be focused before KOSA or any other internet bill. (How can you protect anyone under 18 from the "dangerous internet" and then have them spend less time online when things outside the internet isn't safe either?)

Also if you are American parent, please, please call and tell them you are against KOSA, don't let the title of "Kids Online Safety Act" fool you. It won't do anything to help your kids.

If you aren't an American parent, but you know any, please tell them why KOSA is bad for kids and everyone else so they can also call against it.

Everything you need is below:

Thank you very much.

You ever do anthropomorphized fanart of feldspar minerals?

YEAH ME NEITHER HA HA

(originally from 2015, I believe)

I'm going through some old hard drives! Time for Museum Posting! But slowly…

This image is from a series where I drew …most?? Of the Feldspars for a gallery show. No idea where the original paintings ended up, but happy to have found the scans!

IAMTHEDOG -Sir Chloe i love this fucken album so much. the goddamn imagery dude. the sexual overtones. prey versus predator. shame versus desire. an uncontrollable appetite and a longing for the familiar even if it hurts. Resentment. Self-loathing. Power.

For anyone who's curious, yes, I saw The Video. Not only do I keep up with the analog horror space and am thus familiar with Wendigoon, I also happen to be a big IPOS fan, ever since his videos on Beksinski & Kenneth Anger.

Ironically, I'd unfollowed Wendigoon a month or two ago anyway, partially because of a lot of what IPOS addressed. Despite some flaws in his presentation, his critiques were valid as ever. I don't want to get too deep into politics here, but I genuinely believe Wendigoon is a very easy entry point to the alt right pipeline, and I'd honestly been trying to ignore it. His videos are incredibly basic and don't have much more to offer inquistive minds than Google, but when he's not recitimg cryptids' Wiki pages at you, some of them can be foundational for getting into the scene. I'd heard of it before, but his video is what got me into TMM (though I think his 2nd TMM vid is one of the worst I've ever seen.) But it reaches a point where it's just a never ending cycle of guns, god, & Magic Spoon, and you can't ignore that shit anymore.

He (and the people he promotes, you can whine about guilt by association all you want but let's be honest, public figures endorsing other public figures isn't meaningless) are gonna radicalize people. And right wing, Christian, police state shit is a death sentence to anyone who isn't white, straight, upper class, and "normal." And, as IPOS discussed earlier in that same video, horror is an inherently punk/counterculture genre that we can't let be co-opted by right wing chuds.

felt like reposting this one

thinking about that clip of pedro saying “I love whores”

………. that’s all

The lack of awareness

I like how this online journalist of this article acts like that the only criticism people who aren't Rand Paul have on KOSA is the censorship of LGBT content and left wing opinions online (and even dismissing that by saying "KOSA is about design features not censorship") and not all the others problems with this bad internet bill like the invasion of online privacy for everyone, not just kids and teenagers in American and how it make America look bad and hypocritical.

It's like she fails to realize that if KOSA pass, it will negatively affect her job as online journalist (especially if Democrats win the election, since this particular web journalist seems to be right wing) and she will have show strangers (American politicians) her ID just so she can do her job. Not to mention the real issue with hackers.

Journalists like her should be biggest opposers against KOSA.

I agree that minors (and some adults too) should spend less time online, but KOSA isn't fix that problem, and when minors need to use the internet for things like school projects, they will have to risk their personal information getting data breached thanks to KOSA.

Please don't stop calling to show opposition against KOSA.

The ironic nature of Trump playing some song with the lyrics “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free” before his speech when he wants to restrict abortion rights. America is a parody of itself
