Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

Here's my unedited video of the Artemis II launch! I didn't get the best angle because honestly, I wanted to live in the moment and watch humans travel to the Moon without having to worry about my camera, but it still came out pretty neat. I'm gonna probably edit it into something that looks (and sounds) better later, but right now, please enjoy!

OH MAN

LET ME LEARN YOU A THING

AND YET

WE ARE NOW GROWN-ASS ADULTS IN OUR THIRTIES

AND IT STILL GETS QUOTED FROM TIME TO TIME

I HAVE THE WHOLE THING MEMORISED

TO THIS DAY, MY MOTHER REGULARLY SAYS “BUT I AM LE TIRED” BECAUSE OF A VIDEO I SHOWED HER IN FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL

Hi everybody, I've launched a side project I'm super proud of: two new stuffed animals from the Pleistocene. They are Glyptodon, the giant armadillo, and Megatherium, the giant ground sloth. If you liked my previous work on the Paleozoic Pals, please check these new guys out on Kickstarter!

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

Authors have until March 30th, 2026 (That is just 9 days as of this reblog, which I am posting on March 21st, 2026) to file their claim against Anthropic to be reimbursed up to $3,000 per work found in the list.

Once you separate those two concepts, a LOT more possibilities come into view, because in actuality, sex is just one of many possible ways of satisfying a hunger for intimacy. Some people feed that hunger by snuggling, or hair-washing, or other forms of non-sexual physical contact. Some people fill it with shared activities and hobbies, like playing video games or board games or doing a puzzle or going hiking or taking a class together or chilling at the library. Some people fill it by talking for hours or sharing secrets they’d never tell anyone else, either in person or online. Some people fill it with small acts of service, like cooking for someone or bringing them flowers. Some people fill it with just sitting together in companionable, comfortable silence. All of these can be intimacy.

This is how sexual and asexual people can have happy, fulfilling relationships with each other – it just requires more conversations about what the two of you specifically need to mutually feel like you’re thriving in the relationship. That answer is going to be different for every single person – and that is a wonderful and joyful opportunity to explore your options and get to know yourself better! There’s no rulebook! If you feel happy and satiated afterwards (or “peaceful” or “energized” or whatever label you’d put on the Good feeling after getting this need met), then you’re doing it right.

About Zayn’s story — we all know how smart the boys are, and how there’s always a reason behind everything they do.

First of all, the leopard itself has a whole story.( I will talk about that )

But right now I’m stuck on the watch. The moment I saw it, it started messing with my head because it felt… familiar. And yeah.
