Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

Hold the fuck on no way WW3 jokes are trending on Twitter when this is an extremely serious situation that’s threatening to destabilize an entire region. No way everyone’s gleefully looking at this as if it’s the grand show finale they’ve been waiting all along. There is no fucking way
I am not one to usually post about these kinds of things, but I am aware that most of us are scared and reasonably so. You've likely heard that your parents will see everything on your screen, AO3 will be closed, and you'll need to use a government issued ID in order to get access to anything on the internet, amongst many other terrible things that the bill will introduce.
But...as crazy as I may seem when i say this, it may not be that bad.
I highly recommend watching this Tiktok user ariella.elm in order to see my perspective on things. She does an incredible job at covering the bill along with what conditions come with it.
Just know that I am not telling you to stop calling your representatives. If you choose not to believe me, that is completely fine too. I am only trying to ease any anxiety. Feel free to continue to do whatever you think is necessary in order to stop the bill from passing through. Just please do not panic. Panic does nothing for us, and it only fuels a sense of hopelessness when we could be thinking about the positive outcomes.
Hey..I have a question for you : if they pass the Kosa bill then,they will not be enforced until 18 months after it is instated..This is true?
Also..
I saw on "hearing and meetings" that the hearing will be until April 17..
Yes, it sounds stupid and maybe it’s not true, but I’m very afraid and not ready to lose the Internet.I really don't know which information is true (because some of it is a lie).In addition, everyone is in a panic and everyone claims that after this date we will lose the Internet forever..Everyone says that we can stop the Kosa bill or something like that, but I doubt it…I'm against Kosa, but I'm still afraid
It is completely okay to be fearful. However, those who say that it is all over if KOSA gets passed are wrong. We can keep fighting back by protesting and making them hear us.
However going to the information bit...
As of right now, KOSA has not left the senate.
On April 17th, an entirely different thing will be discussed. The only thing that I saw that could potentially be KOSA is on the 10th.
If KOSA is voted on that day, majority needs to support it. And even if it passes senate, then it needs to go through the other steps to become a law on a national scale. We have time.
And yes, it says in the bill it will be put into effect 18 months after it becomes law.
Warning: I am getting into rant territory, if you do not want to read it, scroll on. There are resources at the very bottom.
I encourage you all to do your own research. Read laws, spread awareness, and make your own posts sharing what you know to be true. Fight misinformation. Misinformation is what kills a cause.
People saying that the fight is over if KOSA gets past is making people want to stop fighting. They think that they all be powerless after the proverbial event, but that's not true. We can keep fighting even after the law is potentially put in place.
Keep calling your reps, keep protesting, keep fighting.
