ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?

And this is exactly the kind of thing US lawmakers will decide for US citizens, and it will effect everyone who uses the internet globally. Already any kind of age verification amounts to "hand over your government identification to a private US corporation".

I wanted to post about this because I know many of my mutuals are avid crafters and I don't know how much attention this endeavour is getting outside of end-of-life spaces-

My favourite recent finishing project that they posted about wasn't precisely something that the crafter left unfinished. The knitter in question had had dementia, and thought she was knitting scarves. So a finisher was found to piece all the little bits of knitting together into a blanket.

There’s a really good book all about this.

This was while William Still, one of the leaders of the Underground Railroad who helped former slaves adjust to free life, kept such detailed notes of all he helped, in an effort to possibly aid families in reuniting later on (he of course kept the notes very well hidden while slavery was still legal). He started doing this when one of his brothers, Peter, who unlike him was born enslaved, came to the Philadelphia Antislavery Society for aid after buying his freedom and initially they had no idea they were even related. William’s parents hadn’t been able to bring their two oldest sons with them when the successfully escaped with their younger children, and William was born after. None of his parents’ attempts to free his brothers had worked, and they’d lost track of them when they were sold out of Maryland.
