reblog this if you're a writeblr or booklr and im not following you- i want to fix that š
Hey! Iām gonna assume you guys like using Tumblr correct? What about AO3? TikTok? Or any other platform that fandom spaces thrive? Then you need to give a fuck about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
KOSA is a act currently being talked about in congress that is labeled as a act that prevents minors from seeing 18+ content. It being labeled as that seems okay and good, yes, but thatās not what this bill is about.
KOSA, if put in place, will make so the attorney general of each state gets to pick which platforms will be banned in their state. And this doesnāt been censorship of minors, this means censorship of everyone of ALL AGES.
āMy attorney general wouldnāt ban this sites.ā Yes, they might not. But donāt think about yourself right now. MILLIONS of people will be without spaces to escape too. Millions of people will be without access to websites that allows them to talk to people. Millions of queer people wouldnāt be allowed on to places they were originally welcomed.
āOkay? But theyāre only trying to ban nsfw content?ā And what do all republications see as nsfw? Queer people. Especially trans people.
KOSA is just another bill that will allow nation wide bans on topics such as sex, gender, sexuality, and more. This act does nothing more except erase queer people from online spaces, and further pushes the anti-trans beliefs (and genocide) circling our country right now.
Yāall need to give a shit about this bill like you should still be giving a shit about the RESTRICT ACT (which still hasnāt been turned down yet btw).
This act opens the door from any site such of tumblr and quotev to be banned, to YouTube if your AG doesnāt like it for ANY reason. And donāt forget, VPNās can only do so much, and the government already wants to ban those.
What can you do? CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS REPS. EMAIL THEM. I donāt give a shit, all I care about is this bill that doesnāt speak for the people getting blocked and not being put in place. Bills like this further push our nations descent into facism. And if thereās a way to prevent that, we better fucking do it.

Hey. You there. Aspiring author. Keep writing. The world needs your words. Every single author - big and small, indie and trad, young and old - once stood where you stand, wondering if they were kidding themselves. Keep going. You got this.

This is a short story introducing characters for a YA seriesā
The sun shining through a crack in the blinds, woke Logan out of a sound sleep. The soft whir of the air conditioner, was the only thing that broke the silence. It was summer and heād done his best to be able to sleep in. He had even stapled the curtains shut but, every morning the sun found a way through. He suspected that his mom hadā¦

I spent a long time looking for the right prompt. in the end IĀ just wasnāt feeling any of them. So thatās what I wrote about. Hopefully, my muse and I will back at it next week⦠I stared and stared at the blank page, the cursor blinking impatiently at me. Iād been sitting at my computer for hours. If this had been just a few years earlier, there would be an overflowing wastebasket at my side. Asā¦

Writing in my favorite spot in my favorite coffeehouse today.
I canāt imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting. I actually tend to suspect that in real life, there have always been very strong female characters, but at certain stages of society, theyāve been asked to cool it.
