Text from the email I got:
Hey [censored],
URGENT: Senators who want to censor the Internet are trying to ram through the dangerous Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) on a voice vote THIS WEEK.
Theyāre trying to use a Senate procedure called āunanimous consentā to sneak the bill through even though it faces strong opposition from human rights and civil liberties groups.
If we can get just one Senator to object, the attempt will fail and weāll have some more time to build opposition to bad censorship bills like KOSA and the EARN IT Act.
Weāre pulling out all the stops and launching a rapid-response campaign to pressure the handful of Senators that might be willing to stand up and object.Ā Will you chip in $25 today to help?
Hereās what we plan to do:
Draft a memo about the serious remaining issues with KOSA and circulate it to all relevant Senate offices
Update the call tool on BadInternetBills.com so we can drive lots of phone calls to key Senate offices urging them to object to KOSA
Mobilize the broad coalition of human rights, civil liberties, LGBTQ, racial justice and free speech organizations weāve built to help amplify the call tool and send notes directly to Senate leadership
Alert media outlets and ensure there is press attention on what they are attempting to do with KOSA. We need more articles like this piece in Jezebel that explains why KOSA would threaten access to online information about abortion1
All of that takes staff time and costs money. Weāre a very small nonprofit that relies on individual donors because we refuse to take money from Big Tech or from the government.
So if you care about actually making the Internet safer for kids while fighting back against dangerous censorship and surveillance, please chip in whatever you can to support our rapid-response effort to stop KOSA in the Senate.

Together,
Evan and the team at Fight ā¤ļø

Senate Bill 686 of the 118th Congress (The Restrict Act)
Iām honestly a bit disappointed here at Tumblr for not talking about this bill more, so Iām going to share what Iāve learned about it with you all
The link above goes to a pdf file going over the entire bill that has only been introduced atm as shown in the image just above from congress.gov.
Now, people only see this as a means to ban Tiktok, but thatās just the mask this truly cruel bill is hiding behind.
To boil it all down, this bill lets the Secretary of Commerce to have the power to banā¦basically ANYTHING on the internet.
This includes hardware like video game consoles or Wifi networks as well as software and applications such as VPNs.
It also gives the government the power to monitor, basically everything you do online, private messages, posts on social media, streams, you name it, they can monitor it.
And the punishment for using, say, a VPN to access Tiktok, will result in 20 years in prison with a 1/4 million fine, a full million if you did it on purpose.
Now, I please ask you all to go to your representatives and tell them about how you donāt want this bill to be passed whatsoever. Heck, if you have to, (passively) threaten them with supporting their opponent in the next primary in any way they can. Just remember to be respectful and civil.
If you donāt want to do that, I respect that decision, and I understand that you wouldnāt want to deal with politics. But, I at least ask you to signal boost this post by reblogging it to your own followers and give any other thoughts about this that you might have in the tags or just normally.
I donāt want this lovable hellsite we all call home and made such good friends and memories on to be under the eyes of those pedophilic heathens who canāt seem to even know how to unlock a smartphone.
I thank you all for reading this, and I hope you all have a good day/night.

*everyone is standing in the kitchen together*
Erica: So. Who broke the coffee machine? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.
El: ā¦I did. I broke it.
Erica: No. No you didn't, El. Lucas?
Lucas: Don't look at me! Look at Mike.
Mike: What?! I didn't break it.
Lucas: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Mike: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Lucas: Suspicious.
Mike: No, it's not!
Dustin: If it matters, probably not, but Max was the last one to use it.
Max: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!
Dustin: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by it earlier?
Max: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Dustin!
El: Okay, let's not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, Erica
Erica: No! Who broke it?!
Lucas: Ericaā¦ Will's been awfully quiet.
Will: rEALLY?!
*everyone starts arguing*
Erica, being interviewed: I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now, they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig's head on a stick.
Erica:
Erica: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Hi! I really hope you don't mind me sending this ask, but do you have a link to the icon and header page for your Stranger Things headers and icons? If so, I'd really like to use one! (I searched for one on your blog but it didn't work, sadly)
Hi @dracunettes !
Here's the links to the icon & headers pages:
They don't work if you're using the app though, I think they're only accessible via a browser or on desktop!
And here's a direct link to the google drive with the ST headers:
