lol. lmao, even.

The top 20 accounts blocked in the last 24 hours. They're almost entirely US government accounts. And they're catching block numbers that would easily put them in the all-time top blocked list, just in the first day.

After I year, I have finally finished this painting of Minthara in the Purple Dress.

(I will need a long hot bath now).

#Minthara #portrait #drow #noble #dndPortrait

A fantasy portrait of Minthara, a drow elf, inspired by the painting Pauline in the Yellow Dress. She sits poised in an ornate chair, her expression sharp and contemplative. Her lavender-gray skin contrasts with her platinum hair, styled in a loose bun. She wears a deep violet gown with gold trim and structured shoulders, richly draped around her. A small black cat with glowing yellow eyes rests against her arm. Behind her is a dark indigo floral screen. On the chair’s arm lies a bright yellow dress, included as an homage to Pauline in the Yellow Dress, its color standing out against the otherwise cool, moody palette.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

while I’m redoing my bodice pattern, a trick my partner and I learned from a book of Dolly Parton’s stage costumes: if you’re busty enough that princess seams are hell, you can make it a bit less hell via dart in the princess seams! It’s good enough for Dolly so it’s good enough for any other G+ cup

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION]
I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
Do the right thing.

As far as I'm concerned, the series hit its visual peak with B/W's animated sprites.

OH AND I SHOULD ALSO CLARIFY:

"No Quote Dunking" ALSO includes NO SCREENCAPPING THE FUCKING POSTS TO POST & DUNK.

DO. NOT. GIVE. THEM. VISIBILITY.

PERIOD.

The WH is actively setting up official BSky accounts for the purposes of attacking the userbase here & using the hostility they bait to fuel their current propaganda narrative of The Left(tm) being terrorists, "illegals," groomers & violent criminals.

Do not engage. DO NOT FUCKING ENGAGE.
