Interesting to call this “confiscating” when it’s just making the rich pay their fair share, especially considering all the stolen wealth from the bottom 99% and historic tax evasion.

suzanne collins is such a genius… the cultural phenomena of her series leading to the hanging tree house remixes, mockingjay being milked for two (bad) movies, the capitol-inspired makeup palettes, the halloween costumes, the explosion of the market for dystopia, the butchering of her characters and removal of disabilities, disfiguration, and racial tension + representation to sell more tickets, the extra gale scenes to fuel discourse, and the audience showing up to cinemas to watch what was pretty honestly marketed to them (the jacob vs edwardification of the symbolic love story and also to watch children fight to the death) it’s just so ridiculously ironic i would say you can’t write this shit, but she did write about it… in The Hunger Games published 2008

URGENT: Congress about to pass a mass censorship and surveillance bill under the guise of “protecting children”

May 13 2023

The Senate has been in a “do something!” mode regarding children’s online safety. They’re using this as an excuse to push for widespread internet censorship and surveillance. I already spoke about the EARN IT Act, which has a slimmer chance of passing with widespread opposition and a few senators saying they won’t vote for it. The real threat is actually KOSA (s.1409), the Kid’s Online Safety Act. It does two primary things:

First, KOSA pressures platforms to install filters that would wipe the net of anything deemed “inappropriate” for minors. This means instructing platforms to censor. We saw how these filters impacted websites firsthand with tumblr in 2018, with not only blocking all adult content but also sfw queer content such as suicide hotlines, art archives, wiping out entire blogs because they had queer fandom related posts, etc. Places that already use content filters have restricted important information about suicide prevention and LGBTQ+ support groups. KOSA would spread this kind of censorship to every corner of the internet. And who gets to decide what is and isn’t harmful for minors? Oh don’t worry, just every single state attorney general and the FTC, which is appointed by the president. You know, the same attorney generals that just banned gender-affirming healthcare under the guise that it “ruins mental health” of minors. This is why the Heritage Foundation was one of the first to sponsor the bill because they can use it to censor trans content, and Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee is it’s co-author.

Second, KOSA would ramp up the online surveillance of all internet users by forcing websites to use age verification and parental monitoring tools. Yup, that’s right. Now every single person who wants to access the internet has to upload their govt ID online to third party apps that get hacked all the time. You queer in a red state? You undocumented? You an activist? Have fun getting all your online activity and metadata attached to your govt ID.  

Over 90+ human and LGBT rights groups agree that KOSA is dangerous and updates to the 2023 version won’t and can’t address the big problems with the bill. This bill has MASSIVE bipartisan support, and the authors Blumenthal and Blackburn (yes, that Blumenthal that’s pushing the EARN IT Act, and who also sponsored the RESTRICT Act and SOPA/PIPA if you remember) are using the tragedy of mothers who lost their kids to online harassment and young adults who’ve been traumatized online to lobby for it, and got Dove the company to use a bunch of influencers to push for this under the guise it prevents eating disorders…I wish I was lying. There are already 30 co-sponsors.

HOW TO FIGHT KOSA

  1. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES & THE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

This is a link to the Senate Commerce Committee phone numbers and a call script to read off of. (202) 224-3121 connects you to the congressional hotline

Opposition is getting drowned, and these upcoming weeks will be heavy for lobbying and they’re using young people to do it. We NEED to show these senators that young people are actually opposed to this and don’t want it.

2. Sign these petitions

  1. Open Letter Against KOSA
  2. Petition 1
  3. Petition 2
  4. Petition 3
  5. Petition 4
  6. Resistbot: Text PHJDYH to 50409

3. Spread the word.

The opposition is getting absolutely drowned online. Dove has nearly 100k signatures to push for KOSA. Influencers on tiktok are pushing for this without ever having read the bill. Fucking Lizzo is sponsoring it. If you have twitter, reddit, tiktok, are in any community, SPREAD THE WORD, PLEASE.

Here is a linktree with all the above petitions for easy shargin: Link to linktree

I initially thought this could be a positive thing without seeing the stipulations attached…yikes. Protecting minors shouldn’t involve surveillance of literally everyone.

Thats how the senators managed to convince everyone, that its a good thing and not a mass censorship scheme crafted by literal satan incarnate Marsha Blackburn and surveillance-gets-my-dick-hard Blumenthal. The guy’s sponsored every anti-internet bill since SOPA/PIPA

@lisxdumbr excuse me as I borrow your tag for a moment, cause we’re onto something.

Rent-lowering gunshots aside, I think this highlights a pretty fundamental quality to tumblr memes, which is they’re meant to be fun, not funny.

Most Goncharov content aren’t funny. They don’t make you laugh as an audience. In fact, there’s some serious and awe inspiring quality fanarts, music, fanfics, and analysis on a non-existing flim. It’s not about making the funniest joke, it’s about having fun making the joke.

Tumblr memes aren’t meant to entertain a passive audience. The entertainment value is in the participation. And this quality is present in a lot of long-form tumblr memes. Colour theory, urban gothic (short lived but glorious), hawkeye initiative (short lived but glorious), making shitpost arguments into shakespeare, @theshitpostcalligrapher (excuse the tag) and other shitpost calligraphy. A lot of these memes are about taking silly things seriously. And even passively reblogging these memes are about participation. “I can take this seriously too.” Or, in Goncharov’s case, “yeah I’ll help collectively gaslight the internet”.

Another big part about sharing it isn’t about how funny the joke is, but how impress you are with the effort. As an audience you can feel the love artists/musicians/writers put into their Goncharov fanwork, and can’t help but have respect.

This same logic goes for how coffeeshop fics are fun to write, but they aren’t funny. The charm for the reader is that someone loved these characters as much as you did.

In contrast, when you look at viral tweets, they’re often one-shots. They’re very funny and witty but you don’t tend to get the same degree of repetition and variations. Because twitter is built for consumption and snappier participation, and the increasingly algorithm-driven navigation makes content more competitive, which means quality lies in individual tweets, and not in the whole phenomenon.

tldr; Tumblr memes/jokes are about how fun they are to make/share. Twitter jokes are about how fun they are to consume.

youtube comment: "My trans daughter named herself Millie, and i call her Mildred when she's in trouble or being annoying. It's excellent."ALT
reply: "make her real confused by calling her millipede one day." original commenter replies: "ha! Brb doing it now."ALT
original commenter replies again: "she said it didn't go well with her middle name (danger is her middle name. It was a toss-up between danger and velociraptor, and danger won)"ALT

i can’t decide if this is the single coolest girl in the world for making danger her middle name or the silliest for not seeing the raw power of “millipede danger” which is the greatest name i have ever heard

Over 400 votes and I still haven’t voted so I still don’t know how it is skewing

Don’t tell me

Just reblog for, idk, maximizing the oncoming shenanigans of my reaction when I find out

radio-charlie asked: so what do u think about plays

bilbao-moon:

sharp-tender-shock:

gebrauchsmusik:

i like how in a theatre time and space are necessarily metaphorical. i don’t like how plays always have to begin with someone walking onstage and talking. too many directors try to work around this by having someone walk onstage and brood in silence for a moment before talking. this is worse. 

If you were directing a play, how would it begin?

bagpipes at the back of the auditorium so everyone turns their heads and when they’ve turned back around the play has already begun
