I Know Many People Might Know About This, But The Shit Bill That Is Kosa Has A Chance Of Being Put Into

i know many people might know about this, but the shit bill that is kosa has a chance of being put into effect in the next week if that does happen, social media is gonna be almost completely removed. that's not just tumblr or twitter, but things like ao3, deviantART, or tiktok. there's a link on this post to a petition to stop it. it only asks for your email and name, so if you're fine with that, please take the time to sign it.

if it does get passed, i just want to say from the bottom of my heart that this website has given me the best time of my life these past few years. i don't care if you're just randomly finding this post while scrolling, or if you're a long time mutual. i'm gonna miss all of you.

pray that we can still be here by next month.

Kosa is the most horrifying thing to think about. Sometimes I want to forget about it but I know that won’t stop it from flying through congress and into law.

Teens will not have ways to learn about what’s happening in the world. Marginalized groups will not have the internet spaces that they do. Mental and sexual health will be censored. Activism will be censored. Everything important that you care about is going to be censored. They do this on purpose, especially to the youth, to keep us uninformed and unrepresented.

I don’t have the words to express how much this scares me. This will impact us all regardless of age, but for now I’m still a minor and it’s even scarier. I have friends younger than me who will have to endure it for longer than I do. I’m completely terrified because we are about to be trapped.

CALL YOUR SENATORS!!!!!!!!!

NOW!!!!!!!

tell them KOSA is shit and you think that supporting it is shit

also, with elections coming up, find out which senators are supporting it and vote against them!

and when I say call your senators, I do mean CALL. People don't call senators that much so calling them puts more pressure on them than other means of contacting them!

A screenshot of a discord message reading:

it has not passed in the senate

Congress is in recess until the 26th, but as of now there are 62 cosponsors which represents a filibuster proof majority so it's looking pretty likely it will pass in the senate

the House is more of a roadblock because A. the house is generally dysfunctional as shit right now, they can't really get anything done and 2. there is MUCH less support for this in the house as compared to the senate

I know I’ve been reblogging and commenting on a lot of KOSA stuff as of late, and for those who don’t want to see it I apologize.

But this is so fucking important. And being an American myself means that if the bill is passed, this blog might not even exist anymore!

One of the main things in America is the fucking freedom of speech—and now you’re getting rid of that by mass-censoring the internet? A place where we should be free to express our rights—good or bad?

This bill is fucking insane and, frankly, outrageous. “But the kids!” maybe you should just put more effort into fucking helping them?? This ISN’T?? If Nex were still with us, this wouldn’t have fucking helped them!

Children will get groomed. And when this happens, the appropriate legal action needs to take place. Not whatever the fuck this is.

Sorry for the slight rant. I’m pissed, and frankly, worried.
