On break, more active on discord, specifically on one server. if you find me there you get a 'mystery link' that is DEFINITELY not related to my favorite animal. this is also a personal blog, i should've kept that here. you can send me asks or dm me if you want to chat ||  "Potato"/nickname from elsewhere. Full of regrets, hanging around the HTTYD books fandom, currently having trouble reading books or writing fanfic even though I have too many ideas. I have too many followers.

Dragonites, spread this far and wide! (The EARN IT act needs to be stopped)

Remember this quote from How To Speak Dragonese?

“However small we are, we should always fight for what we believe to be right. And I don’t mean fight with the power of our fists or the power of our swords…I mean the power of our brains and our thoughts and our dreams. And as small and quiet and unimportant as our fighting may look, perhaps we might all work together…and break out of the prisons of our own making. Perhaps we might be able to keep this fierce and beautiful world of ours as free for all of us as it seemed to be on that blue afternoon of my childhood.”    ―      Cressida Cowell, How to Speak Dragonese     

Well, now’s the time to put it into action!

The EARN IT act is in the U.S. senate and EVERYONE, even those outside the US or those who can’t vote needs to understand how bad it is and spread the word!

This can end encryption in the U.S.

Y’know, the very thing that keeps the government and random people from seeing your messages?

This will hurt children, not protect them.

It will make Child Sexual Assault investigations HARDER.This will allow people to sue sites for having

ANY LGBTQA+ stuff, not just NSFW.

Please, meme this bill, sign petitions, and spread the word! More info here and on the #earnitact tag:

a quick reminder

hey guys i know everyone is talking about all the amazing things they’re going to do and learn in isolation. i just want to remind you all that if the only thing you can do some days is get out of bed that’s ok. you don’t have to accomplish something spectacular, just existing and being alive is enough.

you’re doing amazing and i’m so proud of you.

Anonymous asked:

about the earn it act

is there anything we can do if we don't live in the us?

fullhalalalchemist answered:

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is SO MUCH you can do. The most essential thing right now is to get the word out. Post about this on every social media you can, talk to your US based friends. Spread the word. Learn about what this bill does and counteract the "anti child abuse" orgs that are peddling this law as if it will help anyone when they all know it will only hurt everyone. And more importantly pay attention to internet/tech laws in your own country because these are coming for everyone.

Anonymous asked:

About the EARN IT Act lgbt-related part, is it only going to censor nsfw lgbt things or like, everything?

fullhalalalchemist answered:

The group behind this, NCOSE, is highly homophobic and since the 60s when they were known as Morality in Media, they have been pushing to dismantle the gay community. If this bill passes it will establish a 19-person committee headed by the DOJ and NCOSE, bc they've grown that powerful and that influential to the govt, and they will then establish "best practices" for how websites should go about their content. We already know that these "best practices" will be very broad regulation that will sweep up any LGBT content. Sfw, nsfw, doesn't matter, it's all wrong to this group. This has always been on of their goals, they're just better at hiding it now.

The gay community cannot exist without its nsfw counterpart. Sex is a natural part of life, to hide it or make it shameful in anyway is a horrible horrible thing and regresses our society. Our elders fought and risked their lives to exist sexually and be sexually free, and it has led for the greater society to be open themselves. We should protect that.

I know things are hectic right now, its really physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing to do much of anything right now. But I came up with a letter you can send through Resistbot (text 50409) to your state legislature about COVID-19, police brutality, and the Earn It Act that the government is trying to pass to limit our freedoms with the protests.

I'll put the content of the letter at the bottom of this. But if you do decide to send it you can just copy paste it, edit it how you like.

And hey, be safe.

My name is _______. I live in _________ and for the most part I have been fortunate enough to be unaffected by many of the current events happening such as the protests and the Coronavirus. But as your constituent I am worried that not enough is being done to keep it that way.
The Coronavirus has shown that unfortunately our country is not prepared for a pandemic. At all levels of government I cannot abide by the inflated budgets of our military and police when healthcare and community services like libraries are being given such paltry amounts. Healthcare and community service budgets should be increased, preferably at the expense of military and police budgets.
Speaking of our police, I cannot abide by the police brutality that has been shown and continues to be shown, specifically during the protests against police brutality. The American police system is corrupt and encourages police officers to see normal citizens, especially black people and other minorities, as criminals first, obstacles second, and potential victims as a very distant third. The police system has too much funding, too much military training, and too much time on their hands. The police need to be defunded and have those funds put to actual use to protect and serve this country. As the Supreme Court ruled that the Police did NOT have a duty to protect and serve the American people; neither I nor the American people should suffer having our tax dollars used on a service that is not even required to do anything for us.
As the police have been assaulting and murdering protestors and people of color, the government is trying to use this as an opportunity to push forward the Earn It Act. Allowing this bill to pass would be a gross attack on the American peoples freedoms, limiting our Bill of Rights, amendments 1 through 4, freedoms.
The American people should not be subjected to a government that has limited our privacy to such a point that we cannot even talk about necessary change without being censored or deemed unlawful. Limiting our freedoms such can only lead to tyranny and fascism. And despite the prevalence of Nazis in right factions, no true American should suffer a Nazis words or actions. The American people should not be subjected to a government that has limited our privacy to such a point that we cannot even talk about necessary change without being censored or deemed unlawful. Limiting our freedoms such can only lead to tyranny and fascism. And despite the prevalence of Nazis in right factions, no true American should suffer a Nazis words or actions.
Do your American duty to prevent fascism, tyranny, and Nazis. Do your elected duty and campaign for your constituents' rights and beliefs.

The script for opposing the Earn It Act from 5calls(dot)org:

"Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [STATE].

I'm calling today to urge [SENATOR NAME] to vote against S. 3398, the EARN IT Act. The bill would do nothing to protect children from exploitation, and would have terrible consequences for Internet privacy, freedom, and safety.

Thank you for your time and attention."

The PACT Act would force platforms to disclose shadowbans and demonetizations
It takes a light-touch approach to Section 230 reform
www.theverge.com|Makena Kelly

…So, you know the scary-ass EARN IT Act? The bill that’s basically one giant surveilance bill that could royally fuck over the internet, that fucking passed the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously to go to a full Senate vote?!

Well, the PACT Act is an alternative to that, that actually meaningfully addresses holes in moderation/transparency on the part of megacorps without; yanno; giving the government a fucking spying license.

So, I want you, during the weekday, call your senators right now, and demand not just that they vote against the EARN IT Act, but that they push FOR the far better PACT Act.

Because, god, I want some bills for once that actually push against Big Tech but without pushing for shit to feed; say; Big Surveilance/Big Studio/Big Music Label/Big Publisher/Big Burn-Down-All-Archival-Efforts/ectcetera…

if you are in the U.S. or view lewd content by us U.S. creators, I am pleading with you to contact your local representatives to vote “no” on the EARN IT ACT, and instead use different legislation to protect child s*x abuse victims. This bill will not even protect children. It will end end-to-end encryption on our messages, which is a violation of our right to privacy. It recently advanced in congress. You can even copy and paste this post and email your reps. Just please help us, even though electoral politics and emails/ calling can only go so far…
