AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES

An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.

They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.

Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing

This image is so so fucking important to me

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

But in Japanese it scans as:

"Psycho" to mean "someone with psychokinesis" has been an anime thing since the 70s so I knew that one but the meaning of "Mob" really never crossed my mind. I thought it was just his name for no reason at all.

Japanese read: ESP NPC

English read: MAXIMUM MURDER

Brazil House passes "Taylor Swift act" against ticket scalping

Brazil’s House on Wednesday approved a bill that criminalizes ticket scalping for concerts, plays, and other events. Nicknamed the “Taylor Swift act,” the bill now goes to the Senate.

Three lawmakers separately introduced similar drafts on the issue of ticket scalping back in June 2023, after touts left thousands of Taylor Swift fans out of pocket and unable to attend her concerts in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. After waiting in line for days, hundreds of Swifties reported violent encounters with scalpers, and tickets sold out within 40 minutes. 

Scalpers then offered tickets to the concerts at roughly BRL 12,000 (USD 2,322) — 12 times face value and nine times Brazil’s minimum wage in 2023.

In December, consumer protection watchdog Procon-SP fined Time For Fun, the company responsible for organizing Taylor Swift’s most recent concerts in Brazil.
