Okay folks let’s talk-

So so tired of Non-Americans trying to erase the identities of Americans. In particular European-Americans (Americans with European heritage).

We are still here. Our cultures are still here. It is not a monolith. You can’t ignore YOUR history by invalidating ours. Your countries played a part in the colonization process of these lands. You are not blameless.

I linked below the entire post from @Therootcircle on Insta I think EVERYONE should be reading it. And read the comments too.

I'm so fucking pissed rn at usamericans, I need y'all to shut the fuck up forever. The queer artist Barbara Butch has received at ton of murder and rape threats because of the opening ceremony. The USAmericans on her social media, in response to a statement from her lawyer, are drowning her comments with "you deserve it for insulting christianity and the Gay Testament thing you pulled".

This is terrorist behavior. Someone did something about your religion you didn't like so you wish harm upon them, that's terrorism. When the terrorist attacks happened in France, my father, a christian, said to us that he feared the christian extremists more than anything. French people were killed for mocking muslim extremists, and my father told us to fear the christian extremists, who don't like not being the ones in the spotlight. And I knew he was not wrong. France is a country with a christian culture after all (a country being secular doesn't mean it erased centuries of influence), we know well how violent christianity can be.

You see, France is "the first daughter of the Church", because of its particular history with christianity. No other country has the same connection to christianity as France has. This is because catholicism and the Vatican were only capable to expand their power because of a deal made with Pepin Le Bref, the emperor Charlemagne's father. Long story short, the French monarchy was essential to the Church, the Church was essential to the French monarchy. And the French monarchy are oppressors, so the Church also is. So much blood was spilled in the name of the Church (the massacre of the Saint-Barthélemy). Missions, when the Church would send priests with knights to kill people who weren't christians "correctly" (missions aren't a modern thing, they existed before America. And that's why we hate them in France). If you criticize the Church, you would go to jail. We fought for the right to criticize and mock the Church, you cannot take that away from us.

Leonardo Da Vinci who painted La Cena was a gay man who used his queer lover as a model for religious figures.

Molière, famous french playwriter, mocked and criticized christianity.

French people beheaded statues of Christian figures during the Révolution of 1789.

Parisians executed Christian priests during the Commune of Paris. After killing civilians in masses, the French President build le Sacré-Coeur, a basilica to ask the christian god for forgiveness for the blood he spilled. Not the people, for who he had no mercy, but God. He was the last French President to speak about God in his speeches, because of how disgusted French people were.

The people are the right to criticize and mock religion, it's called the right to blaspheme. Especially the people who have suffered from it. But also, the people have the right to make reference to other artistic works. It's not "insulting" to do so.

It's our fucking country, our fucking culture, our fucking history, get the fuck out of it.

Especially when it was actually a reference to another painting, about the Greek gods.

URGENT! Stop KOSA!

Hey all, this is BáiYù and Sauce here with something that isn't necessarily SnaccPop related, but it's important nonetheless. For those of you who follow US politics, The Kids Online Safety Act passed the Senate yesterday and is moving forward.

This is bad news for everyone on the internet, even outside of the USA.

What is KOSA?

While it's officially known as "The Kids Online Safety Act," KOSA is an internet censorship masquerading as another "protect the children" bill, much in the same way SESTA/FOSTA claimed that it would stop illegal sex trafficking but instead hurt sex workers and their safety. KOSA was originally introduced by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass. and Bill Cassidy, R-La. as a way to update the 1998 Children’s Online Privacy Act, raising the age of consent for data collection to 16 among other things. You can read the original press release of KOSA here, while you can read the full updated text of the bill on the official USA Congress website.

You can read the following articles about KOSA here:

EFF: The Kids Online Safety Act is Still A Huge Danger to Our Rights Online

CyberScoop: Children’s online safety bills clear Senate hurdle despite strong civil liberties pushback

TeenVogue: The Kids Online Safety Act Would Harm LGBTQ+ Youth, Restrict Access to Information and Community

The quick TL;DR:

KOSA authorizes an individual state attorneys general to decide what might harm minors

Websites will likely preemptively remove and ban content to avoid upsetting state attorneys generals (this will likely be topics such as abortion, queerness, feminism, sexual content, and others)

In order for a platform to know which users are minors, they'll require a more invasive age and personal data verification method

Parents will be granted more surveillance tools to see what their children are doing on the web

KOSA is supported by Christofascists and those seeking to harm the LGBTQ+ community

If a website holding personally identifying information and government documents is hacked, that's a major cybersecurity breach waiting to happen

What Does This Mean?

You don't have to look far to see or hear about the violence being done to the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities worldwide, who are oftentimes one and the same. Social media sites censoring discussion of these topics would stand to do even further harm to folks who lack access to local resources to understand themselves and the hardships they face; in addition, the fact that websites would likely store personally identifying information and government documents means the death of any notion of privacy.

Sex workers and those living in certain countries already are at risk of losing their ways of life, living in a reality where their online activities are closely surveilled; if KOSA officially becomes law, this will become a reality for many more people and endanger those at the fringes of society even worse than it already is.

Why This Matters Outside of The USA

I previously mentioned SESTA/FOSTA, which passed and became US law in 2018. This bill enabled many of the anti-adult content attitudes that many popular websites are taking these days as well as the tightening of restrictions laid down by payment processors. Companies and sites hosted in the USA have to follow US laws even if they're accessible worldwide, meaning that folks overseas suffer as well.

What Can You Do?

If you're a US citizen, contact your Senators and tell them that you oppose KOSA. This can be as an email, letter, or phone call that you make to your state Senator.

For resources on how to do so, view the following links:

https://www.badinternetbills.com/#kosa

https://www.stopkosa.com/

https://linktr.ee/stopkosa

If you live outside of the US or cannot vote, the best thing you can do is sign the petition at the Stop KOSA website, alert your US friends about what's happening, and raise some noise.

Above all else, don’t panic. By staying informed by what’s going on, you can prepare for the legal battles ahead.

[the-cimmerians]

Queer and trans folk around the world often take an interest in the athletes from our community, and Outsports even collects a database of all the the out LGBTQ competitors. While JK Rowling and 99 percent of conservative media were harassing two cis women boxers, 195 QT athletes represented 26 nations and none, but we’ll get to that. That makes this the queerest Olympics ever, beating out the total of 186 out athletes in Tokyo and, if Queer Nation granted citizenships, would be the 14th largest national contingent at the games. That hypothetical Queer Nation would also have placed sixth in the medal count, tying the Netherlands with 15 golds but falling neatly between the Dutch and host country France on the strength of silvers and bronzes.

One happy bit of news is that in both golds and overall medal count, Queer Nation beat out every single country in the world that criminalizes same-sex boinking. The only bad news seems to be that people competing in the men’s events seem a little underqueered compared to the women. Can’t we at least get a few interested in the Greco-Roman wrestling? Yr Wonkette is just asking.

...

Sure, justice in silver and gold for badass bisexual Black woman Sha’Carri Richardson, excluded from Tokyo on the basis of smoking legal weed in Eugene, Oregon, was as sweet as sativa; it was fun to see Diana Taurasi go out on the queer top with her sixth Olympic gold in a row (team USA’s eighth consecutive women’s basketball gold); and seeing the shoulders on those women rugby players was a dream come true. But we want to speak about someone who didn’t represent any country at all: Cindy Ngamba.

Ngamba is a middleweight (75kg) boxer originally from Cameroon. At 11 years old some family members fled to the United Kingdom as refugees, and brought Ngamba along. The family maintains it had the proper approval for Cindy, but that when her uncle returned to Cameroon it was lost. The UK Home Office has been threatening to deport her since the age of 16, when she was accepted to university and realized she couldn’t produce her visa for her college paperwork.

Despite the threats, Ngamba fought and won many times in the UK’s amateur boxing competitions, having started as a hobbyist in the local Bolton Lads and Girls Club program. She also went on to get an undergraduate degree with honors, all while threats of deportation hung over her head. After winning a UK national championship, she met then-PM Theresa May celebrating her win and the efforts of the Lads & Girls Club where she trained. One might think that the UK might eventually forgive an 11-year-old girl for not keeping track of her paperwork herself, but the Home Office has remained resolute denying Ngamba regularized status.

What makes all this both horrifyingly inhumane and also relevant to this article is that Ngamba is an out lesbian. She has been consistently denied a path to citizenship or even legal residency, only escaping deportation because of her ability to document horror after horror inflicted on queer residents of Cameroon. International law prohibits sending a refugee back to their nation of citizenship or previous residence if they would face persecution and risk of great harm, a crime called “refoulement.”

“If I was sent back, I can be in danger,” Ngamba said. “So, I was given the refugee status to be safe and protected."

Unable to represent the UK and unable to compete in qualifying competitions in Cameroon, Ngamba got an opportunity that no other stateless athlete had ever shared before 2016: she was named to the IOC Refugee Olympic Team. So far that team has only been allowed to compete in the summer games, and only in Rio, Tokyo, and this year in Paris. (They will be allowed to compete in the Winter Games for the first time in 2026.) Given the incredible barriers most refugees face, it is perhaps not surprising that no Refugee Team member has ever won a medal. But while Ngamba has faced incredible legal problems and a ruthlessly anti-immigrant government her entire time in the UK, she at least had better training facilities in her local Lads & Girls than most refugees can dream.

And the dreams paid off. Team Refugee got its first medal ever when Ngamba took home middleweight bronze. "I just want to tell every refugee out there, whether they are an athlete or not, to never give up,” she said after being asked to carry the Olympic flag at the opening of the games. When she won, the whole refugee team took to the internet to celebrate:

“The Refugee Olympic Team is incredibly proud of Cindy Ngamba, the first EOR athlete and the first-ever refugee medallist at the Olympics,” the team posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Today, we are speechless. Cindy did it. Refugees did it!”

Yes, yes you did.

[psychopomp-recital]

In light of recent developments in the United States executive branch I want to say this,

Use this time to cultivate community. Cultivate mutual aid and support. We live in a divided times, even as queer people/women/practitioners we are divided and that is what gives them power.

If you don’t keep up with politics have a convicted felon, with pending cases, 2 impeachments, and multiple bankruptcies as our president.

Use today to grieve. But don’t give up hope. I love America, I love my culture and I love the land I grew up on. I will not stand idly by and see the promise of America destroyed. This will be a long four years. But remember VOTE, vote in your local elections, even the smallest ones they add up. Use your voice educate yourself and others IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

Our fight is not over yet ❤️

[necro-hamster]

with pennsylvania securing a trump victory and likely solidifying the presidency for the republicans, barring some miracle or uncovered voter fraud in the next few days, i guess all i really can say is that we, as a country, will make it through this. we got through 4 years of this man's idiocy before, and we can do 4 more. the usa has been through reagan and bush and trump, worse if we look even further back. even biden was awful. we're a country with a history of struggles due to its leadership.

to all the people of color, poor folks, queer folks, and everyone else who's going to be hit the hardest by trump's second term, especially those in red states, please stay strong and stay alive. i know i don't usually make posts like this, but this really is something that's got me in tears and has me dreading the future, and i guess now more than ever we need to stick together and support each other. i dunno. this is a difficult spot to be in for sure, but we will persevere through it regardless.

this is going to be a hard time, especially for groups targeted by the republican party, but keep in mind that the man can only do so much, and we can always rally against wrongs and stand beside each other. start connecting with people in your area who're going to need help the most. extend kindness to people you don't know, and people you don't like. keep folks in red states in your heart and mind, and offer help whenever you can. keep an eye on what's happening around you, and stay safe.

we've dealt with covid, with roe v wade being overturned, with the missouri bans on freedom, with the black lives matter backlash — and that's just in recent history. and we'll deal with more in the coming years. but we're still here despite all of that, and we'll continue to be here afterwards.

i think what i’m most disappointed in re: usa election is learning how callously cruel and uncaring so much of our population is. like…every single person who cast a ballot for that man looked at the women, people of color, & queer folks in their life and said in their mind, “i don’t care what happens to you. i want you to suffer.”

and the election results won’t have the same effect on those people as it will to most of us. they’ll keep going on their daily lives, either oblivious or satisfied that their choice is causing millions to fear for their lives.

i know the radical thing to do here is persist and thrive despite everything but…it still hurts.
