BOOST BOOST BOOST OUR GAY ASSES GETTING BANNED IF THIS IS PASSED

EARN IT ACT IS BACK AND IT WANTS TO FUCKING KILL US AGAIN

If you don’t know what this is:

The earn it act basically wants to ban a bunch of topics from the internet. If it’s passed there will be NO PRIVACY AT ALL.

THIS BILL WILL ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO SCAN ALL OF YOUR MESSAGES AND SEIZE OR DELETE IT WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANY PLATFORM.

This. NOW THIS. IS A VOILATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT. A BIG ONE TOO.

The person who originally created the bill is trying to push it as quickly as possible to prevent media attention. DONT GIVE IT TO THEM. BOOST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, IT DOESNT MATTER. DO WHAT YOU CAN BECAUSE I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MESSAGES PRIVATE.

According to the nextgov article (Pasted from Nextgov.com) (Please note last paragraph is most important therefore it is in bigger letters:

The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies, or EARN IT Act, was reintroduced into the U.S. Senate on Monday, reopening the potential for Congress to impose stricter penalties related to online content featuring child sex abuse material.

A key pillar of the proposed legislation is augmenting the provisions outlined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects online platforms from being liable for third party content hosted on their domains.

Should the EARN IT Act pass, it would limit the blanket protections established in Section 230 given to web hosts such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, leaving them vulnerable to potential prosecution.

“There are tens of millions of photos and videos circulating throughout the internet, showing the most heinous acts of sexual abuse and torture of children,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, one of the bill’s sponsors. “The EARN IT Act removes Section 230 blanket liability protection from service providers in the area of child sexual abuse material on their sites. The days of children being exploited on the internet and their families being unable to do anything about it are coming to an end.”

In addition to reducing liability protections against host sites, the EARN IT Act would also establish the National Commission on Online Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention, which would advise online service providers on how to prevent online child abuse and exploitation.

Initially introduced in the 2019-2020 Congress by both Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn, the bill brings a slew of bipartisan cosponsors, including Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Maggie Hassan, D-NH; Rob Portman, R-Ohio; and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Many of these lawmakers view the EARN IT Act as an important restriction on the power and immunity of Big Tech companies.

“There’s no reason Big Tech should be given special immunity from laws against child pornography,” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. “This commonsense bill was approved unanimously in committee last Congress. Big Tech needs to be held responsible for their role in distributing child pornography.”

The bill is not without controversy, however. Critics have said that as part of its crackdown on child abuse content, it may incentivize web hosts to relax their end-to-end encryption standards to better access users’ private messages.

“The EARN IT Act also takes aim at end-to-end encryption, which is one of the most important technologies keeping people safe from violence and abuse,” digital rights group Fight for the Future said in a statement on Tuesday. “Strong encrypted messaging also protects our hospitals, schools, airports and water treatment facilities. Disincentivizing popular services from offering strong encryption to users will put lives in danger for absolutely no benefit.”

Back in 2020, when the bill was first introduced, over 20 other nonprofits and advocacy groups cosigned a letter addressed to Graham and Feinstein warning of threats posed to vulnerable demographics should encrypted messages be weakened.

“In addition to censorship concerns, the EARN IT Act also threatens to disincentivize platforms from providing strong encryption, which is an essential service to the LGBTQ community, who rely on encryption to access a support network; seek resources to combat discrimination and abuse; and find doctors and treatment to assist with transition and other health concerns,” the letter reads.

Ok look, I fully understand wanting to ban child porn, it’s bad and it should be stopped, but this bill is threaten queer communites, and knowing the fanbase of tumblr (Very gay) this is really bad for us. If it passes, we could be in serious trouble.

PLEASE BOOST THIS!! REBLOG! REPOST! WHATEVER YOU CAN! LOOK FOR PETITIONS ONLINE, TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, ANYTHING HELPS.

And if you still need more proof, just look up “Earn it Act” online and you should see several news articles regarding it.

Digitalized and colored version of my version of Skræl! I started him a while back and finally finished coloring this idiot.

I still haven’t watched the Dragon Prince, but I’ve been seeing a lot about this Aaravos character. Got spoiled and learned his backstory + Leola’s backstory and I gotta say, I’m going to use that “ocean of tears” plot point for Skræl after he’s released from his eternal crystal imprisonment.

KNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE SSIGGSS POSTED

slides this under ur door

It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing

Something random I've noticed during my rewatch of Wizards:

There's quite a few cutaways that feature little scenes with Skræl.

At the battle of Killahead when Morgana appears, the scene cuts to Skræl for a split second before returning to the fight.

When the Arcane Order attacks Camelot in the first episode, during the little "introduction" to Bellroc and Skræl, the camera focuses on Skræl before returning to the attack.

In the final episode, when the Arcane Order discards Arthur's helmet, the camera focuses on Skræl before cutting away again.

There's probably more but these are the three I remember clearly.

If only Wizards had the same run-time as 3below 😭 We could have had so much more content and character development with another season

Mikaela should have been the main character of the Bayverse transformers series.

She had a better backstory. Granted, Sam's comebacks are hilarious, but Mikaela is still the apple of my eye.

I will never not be salty about these damn movies.

Because the way Sam treats Bumblebee to me feels very... Forced proximity, for some reason. I don't understand why I don't like it. I loved it as a wee babe, but now it just makes me feel bad for Bee. And yes there's a few soft and even sad moments between the two characters, but still.

Mikaela was arguably nicer to Bee than Sam was through the whole series.

Also what the hell did Michael Bay do to Starscream?? Why was he so weird in Dark of the Moon???

He was competent in the first movie, damnit!

This is no hate towards Sam btw, he's arguably my favorite human protagonist of the movies.
