Yhdysvalloissa tarvitaan nyt kirjastosotureita. "Meidän on tehtävä selväksi miten käy, jos päätetään hyväksyä valheita, joilla hiljennetään ihmisten ääniä ja rajoitetaan pääsyä tietoon", sanoo Yhdysvaltojen kirjastojärjestö ALA:a aiemmin johtanut Cindy Hohl. #kirjasto #kirjat #tieto

Kirjastosensuuri kiihtyy Yhdysvalloissa - "Kaikkien on ymmärrettävä mitä tapahtuu parhaillaan"

Kirjastoilla ei ole helppoa Yhdysvalloissa. Niihin kohdistuva häiriköinti ja painostus ovat yltyneet sen jälkeen, kun Donald Trumpista tuli uudestaan Yhdysvaltain presidentti. Asian vahvistaa Yhdysval...

this is good! this is exactly what you'd want to see out of this. the full post has more details, but this snippet covers the policy change.

[a quote from the linked post, with custom styling to make the text brighter, and to make bold and italicized text stand out; emphasis is not included in the following alt text]

Hate speech does not belong on RetroAchievements.
Even when disguised as a joke, it normalises real-world hate and harms our community. There is a difference between juvenile humor and outright hate speech. What Pokémon Clover calls humor is hate speech. RetroAchievements will not legitimize bigotry by hosting an achievement set for it.

Content Policy for Achievement Sets
RetroAchievements will no longer approve achievement sets for games that contain:
* Illegal content. Content that is illegal to own or distribute in major jurisdictions.
* Glorified hate speech. Content that intentionally targets individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.
* Sexual exploitation. Glorification of sexual assault, non-consensual acts, or child sexual abuse material.
* Extreme or abhorrent content. Content that violates community standards in a way that undermines RetroAchievements’ values.

Games that have been rated by official ratings boards (ESRB, PEGI, or similar organizations) are considered acceptable, as these games have undergone professional content review. The only exception is if a game contains content that is illegal to own or distribute, regardless of its rating status.

Hacks, homebrew, and unlicensed games do not undergo ratings board review and will receive additional scrutiny to ensure compliance with this new policy.

This policy provides guidance, but is not exhaustive. The RA team reserves the right to evaluate games on a case-by-case basis and make determinations in the best interest of maintaining a safe, legal, welcoming, and inclusive community.

Good time to share this again. You can make these yourself BUT I also just make them too. It's a label sheet with 72 little tiny 100% human made labels on it. They're $2 a sheet and I'll make you as many sheets as you want: shop.aimeecozza.com/product/100-...

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

HAPPY WORLD CEPHALOPOD DAY! 🐙
I love love love cephalopods, especially octopuses, and they're some of my favorite animals to draw!

Email me to commission your own octopus art, or check out the octopus prints I have up on sale here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/pepp...

#art #octopus

A traditional mixed media illustration of two cute happy yellow flapjack octopuses with a stack of flapjacks (or pancakes) on a plate floating between them. Pink syrup is being poured on the flapjacks from a floating small saucer, and there's strawberries and bilberries floating around, as well as a starfish and a seashell as decoration.

A digitally colored ink and marker illustration of a happy gardener octopus, drawn in dark blue and yellow on aqua blue. He's wearing a straw hat, smiling with his eyes, and holds a pot with a yellow flower in it, as well as a watering can and spade in some of his tentacles. There's some kelp, yellow flowers and tiny yellow fish as decoration.

A traditional mixed media illustration of a happy small grey East Asian common octopus, holding a grey ceramic traditional matcha tea cup in its tentacles while using a bamboo whisk to whisk green matcha tea with two of its tentacles. There's some green tea leaves and a bit of matcha powder as decoration, and there's a light pink watercolor pattern for the background.

A collection of 15 small circular colored pencil illustrations, each of a different animal in a different color. From left to right, top to bottom: a red macaw, an orange fox, a yellow tang, a green frog, a blue whale, an indigo snake, a violet octopus, a magenta katydid, a pink pig, a teal peacock, a brown buck deer, a black panther, a grey elephant, a white polar bear, a rainbow chameleon.
