If this wasn't accurate years ago...

It sure is now

I don’t love the Gravity Falls Transcendence AU. I mean, it’s not like I lay awake at night thinking about it.

Can't wait for the uniqueness of the holocaust to be a topic of importance in a political campaign in america in 2024. That's how it should be. That's normal

the kids online safety act passed the u.s. senate.

long story short (for anyone who hadn't heard of this before) the kids online safety act, aka kosa, is a bill that will censor online content and resources for lgbtq+ matters, reproductive healthcare, activism (INCLUDING PALESTINE AND LIKELY OTHER CRISES GOING ON LIKE IN CONGO OR SUDAN), mental health, etc. everywhere--its effects likely won't be contained to just america.

today, july 30th, 2024, the senate passed it 91-3. it has officially moved to the house of representatives.

is this a pretty massive setback? yes. do you have every right to be scared, sad, angry, or whatever else about this happening? absolutely. but should you give up hope completely? NO!

even though kosa passed the senate, the house is on break/august recess at the moment. we have around an entire month to get emails, calls, and faxes in to house reps, maybe more depending on when they decide to vote on it.

should it pass the house and get signed into law, we still have a whole 18 months before it actually goes into effect. this is plenty of time for digital rights orgs (e.g. fight for the future, the electronic frontier foundation) and other groups that oppose it to file a lawsuit against it. even if, worst-case scenario, it flies through the house immediately after the recess ends, we can still fight this up to march 2026.

so, yes, remember what's at stake here, but also remember that it's not over yet. we lost a battle, not the war.

below are some resources to learn more about kosa and how to contact your reps (first link) + a page that lets you directly contact progressive house reps, sign an open letter opposing the bill, and view others' testimonies against it (second link):

the amount of down-right defamatory things I’ve heard being said about shadowvanilla shippers (especially on TikTok) is absolutely insane.

- NO! not ALL of them “hate” purelily, seamoon, or other ships other than theirs.

(I find this statement extremely ironic considering that most of the time it’s THEIR shippers harassing shadowvanilla shippers (AGAIN!!! NOT ALL OF THEIR SHIPPERS DO THIS!!!) but most of the time it IS them)

- NO! not ALL of them get mad as hell when you tell them their ship is toxic

(THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT “TOXIC YAOI”?)

- NO! not ALL of them support “abuser x victim ships” or proships OR ANYTHING ELSE PROBLEMATIC!

I want to add more but these are ones I see most commonly and it’s driving me insane.

look if you don’t like shadowvanilla, that’s completely fine! you don’t like it, you just don’t like it, fine!

what you SHOULDN’t be doing is harassing, insulting, or downright spreading misinformation about the shippers or the ship itself because you don’t like the ship!

It isn’t quirky, it’s not cute, you’re not “a queen” for doing that NO! YOU’RE JUST AN ASSHOLE!

and now I ask:

LEAVE. SHADOWVANILLA. SHIPPERS. ALONE.

YOU RESPECTING THEM OR THE SHIP ISN’T KILLING ANYONE

just leave them alone, stop bothering them. please.

thank you ❤️ and let’s learn to respect eachother guys.

one last thing: yes! I am aware that toxic shadowvanilla shippers DO exist and if you have personally been harassed by one I am so sorry that you had to deal with that, I can assure you, we DO NOT claim them.

Let their voices be heard! Do not be silent in the wake of genocide.

Remember to do your daily click and if you can, donate to help women and children in Gaza to get sanitary napkins
