bwahhh the Hattieeeee
long story short (for anyone who hadn't heard of this before) the kids online safety act, aka kosa, is a bill that will censor online content and resources for lgbtq+ matters, reproductive healthcare, activism (INCLUDING PALESTINE AND LIKELY OTHER CRISES GOING ON LIKE IN CONGO OR SUDAN), mental health, etc. everywhere--its effects likely won't be contained to just america.
today, july 30th, 2024, the senate passed it 91-3. it has officially moved to the house of representatives.
is this a pretty massive setback? yes. do you have every right to be scared, sad, angry, or whatever else about this happening? absolutely. but should you give up hope completely? NO!
even though kosa passed the senate, the house is on break/august recess at the moment. we have around an entire month to get emails, calls, and faxes in to house reps, maybe more depending on when they decide to vote on it.
should it pass the house and get signed into law, we still have a whole 18 months before it actually goes into effect. this is plenty of time for digital rights orgs (e.g. fight for the future, the electronic frontier foundation) and other groups that oppose it to file a lawsuit against it. even if, worst-case scenario, it flies through the house immediately after the recess ends, we can still fight this up to march 2026.
so, yes, remember what's at stake here, but also remember that it's not over yet. we lost a battle, not the war.
below are some resources to learn more about kosa and how to contact your reps (first link) + a page that lets you directly contact progressive house reps, sign an open letter opposing the bill, and view others' testimonies against it (second link):
FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

Hey, so, uh. Finally remaking/updating my pinned. Because everything sucks, and things have gotten worse. Anyone who knows me would know by now that my living situation… isn’t great. My mother’s abusive, and neglectful.
Unfortunately, it turns out this living arrangement is permanent, [and not temporary, despite me being told, 5 months ago, that it would be,] until I’m able to move out myself… which I’m not legally able to do for another year and a half.
So, here I am again, asking for the kindness of people on the internet. Please, if you are able to do so, consider commissioning me, or leaving a little something on Ko-fi.
For the next… well, however long I’m stuck here for, a year or so at least, I’ll need money for;
Art is my only form of income, as, due to disability and schooling, I am unable to work without posing the risk of significant harm to myself. Due to my age, I am also unable to receive any benefits.
If you can’t commission me, please consider sharing this post.
