He/Him, 37, Furry, Artist, Leftist, Gamer. Some likes/reposts are NSFW. My main posts are all politics, art, and D&D stuff. Also 3D printing cause I do that a lot too.

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI.
we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.
No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"
We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive

You all are doing amazing work. This is really good news. We need to keep calling make it clear we want KOSA good and dead-- take the full course of antibiotics.
Call about Sammy's Law too! It is narrower but still has major privacy concerns for kids.
Word on the Hill is that House GOP leaders are moving on from the sweeping and controversial Kids Online Safety Act, or at least no longer prioritizing it.
That has opened the gates for narrower safety bills, such as "Sammy's Law," which I wrote about today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Analysis | ‘Sammy’s Law’ would help parents monitor kids online. It’s gaining steam.
The parents of a teen fentanyl poisoning victim are finding allies in Congress for a bill intended to save others from the same fate.

Just to revisit this point and echo the sentiment:
While I’m not ABDL - I would rather be and feel safer in a fandom/kink space open and friendly toward ABDL folks.
While a kink space that excludes them shoots up all the red flags.
ABDL is part of kink, furry, and is welcome.
"ABDL furries are weird and gross!!" You are a coward. You are weak. This fandom is full of bizarre & strange interests and language like this is sawing the support beams of your own home.
Use filters. Be an adult. We aren't kicking people out of the restaurant for ordering from a different menu.

Please please please, do not tell a freelance person “you’re self-employed, just take the day off”.
It’s really not that simple. If I don’t work today, I don’t have X no. of other people who will do it instead. I also don’t magically have more hours in the week to do it.
Freelance ≠ part time

So it looks like Discord isn't rolling out the age verification thing in the US. So we can all calm down and breathe. Still we need to fight against all this censorship nonsense nonetheless. You know the deal call your representatives and payment processors and let your voice heard.
IMPORTANT
Discord is joining the ID bullshit
Do as the images say and disable updates, and start looking for alternatives. If you value your privacy you need to abandon ship and tell them to fuck off. I'm gonna look at some options for my community. This is a dark era and it will only get worse

Also one of the whole points of ID bills is to enable, forever, further retaliation with track-and-trace tech, the best total harm reduction is to stop it before it starts.
#SaveSpeech
Ive gotten various comments and DMs that some people are too afraid to contact their reps about ID bills etc because they anticipate some kind of retaliation
I need you to understand, it is your RIGHT to call your representative and share your feelings as a constituent on a bill
-
Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway.
Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.
#SaveSpeech
Updated list of major US bills ya'll need to yell at your congressmen about, w/ talking points.
Tell em to say NO to:
SCREEN ACT KOSA IODA
www.congress.gov/members/find...
CALL EM. MAIL EM. EMAIL EM. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
-
Be weird and be kinky
Not everyone with vibe with it but fuck them
Kill the cop in your head even if they cant kill theirs
Support each other even if their tastes aren’t the same as yours
We are all better off being more accepting

Pro-tip, by the way: When calling Visa about this and leaving a complaint to the company, they will tell you to go to their AskVisa email instead.
Tell them you've done so multiple times and never got a response. They CAN log down the complaint; they're just told to try and filter you out.
If you’re new to the fight, please don’t be afraid to get involved! A lot of the ppl fighting since Day 1 need reinforcements or backup
