On Hiatus

This year has been tough with my health and the passing of family members and now someone who I thought was my friend has served me a 30 day eviction notice.

At 10.30pm today [April 15th 2026], without conversation or reason my housemate served me a 30 day eviction notice. This person knows I have no friends I can move in with. I can't work because I am disabled and I have no savings due to cost of living and debt from a family emergency years ago that has still affected me to this day.

The last member of my family died a week ago and her house belongs to the bank. I have nowhere to go and no one to help. I have emotional support animals that I can't be parted with and many rental places that are low enough to take me wont allow pets.

The local council has been contacted but the wait times in my town are very high due to how poor the people here are. Not many places will rent to me because I am in debt and disabled and do not work.

I'm Franky and I'm a disabled transgender man who is on his last legs and probably won't survive this. I need help and I am begging for anyone's love and support so I can at least find a place that can take my pets and me and having some money for food when forced to move.

The housemate has said they will take legal action if we have not moved in 30 days.

Marvel characters x Male reader

Headcanons

I shall be using my faves, hope you enjoy ;) These are shorter, but there’s more characters than I normally do. I was imagining the reader and the characters are already in a relationship in this :).

Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.

Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.

Expecting a TODDLER to sit by themselves and regulate themselves and think about what they’ve done is just not in their cognitive capacity to do. They’re interpreting it as a punishment and a rejection because it is a punishment and a rejection. A toddler can’t regulate by themselves, their nervous systems do not have the necessary tools for it, they need a regulated adult to do it with them. This is just a nicer version of sending kids to their room alone until they “calm down” (until they get so dysregulated alone that it overwhelms their nervous system and crashes them into a freeze response). If you force a toddler to sit alone screaming, you’re just forcing them to sit with overwhelming activation without doing anything with them to help them tolerate and manage it. A child’s number one evolutionary priority is making sure that their caretaker can and will keep them alive, so any interruption to or confusion about that feels like life or death danger, because it is life or death danger. A child can’t survive without an adult taking care of them. So in a child’s developing nervous system, forcing them to be alone like that is like telling them that they’re going to die.

And the hat thing is even more strange. What’s the purpose of that? No, other people don’t know the hat is a punishment but the kid does—every time he wears it, all he knows is that he’s a bad kid and his parents are mad at him. When he wears that hat, he knows that every time his parents look at him they’re thinking about how he’s a bad kid and they’re mad at him. It’s also just fucking bizarre? What’s the purpose of it? What regulation skill is being learned? What lesson is being learned other than if I make a mistake, my caretaker will be angry and punish me in this really confusing and embarrassing way? It’s confusing to me, an adult who has training on neurodevelopment, so it’s going to be extremely confusing for a toddler. Why is my caretaker acting like this? Why is the person whose job it is to keep me alive punishing me by wearing a hat? What does that mean? Are they going to keep taking care of me? Am I safe? But they’re a toddler and they don’t have those words, so it’s just alarm bell fear.

A toddler doesn’t know that hitting a dog with a stick is bad, toddlers are learning how to interact with their environment for the first time and it’s developmentally appropriate for them to be hitting stuff. You interrupt the behavior, you say “ouch! The dog doesn’t like that” You redirect to something else— “here, let’s hit this tree with the stick. Hitting the tree is good, but you can’t hit the dog” and if they ask why, you explain why again and again until they start to form that connection. Or if you can’t deescalate them that way, you take the stick away from them and sit down on their level and do some sort of sensory regulation tool with them (do you see that green leaf? Can you hear that bird? Here touch my sweater, it’s so soft) I’m here, I love you, I’ll sit with you, but you can’t hit the dog.

Why would a kid ask their parent for help when they make a mistake if they’ve learned that they’ll get punished? Why would a kid talk about their emotions with their parent if they’ve learned big emotion equals getting sent to sit alone in a corner? Why would a kid ask their parents why it’s bad to do x thing if they’re going to be forced to wear the bad kid hat, no matter what they do? Why would an adult feel safe apologizing for making a mistake if they learned as a child that mistakes equal punishment? Why would an adult feel confident in communication in their relationships if they learned that communication comes in the form of being forced to wear the bad kid hat?

WHO IS USING THIS

AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

So I know that it's a little unlikely that anyone will really see this or read it, but I'm gonna take a small break from this blog. It might only be a week or 2, and interaction is limited anyway so no one would even really notice, especially because I'll still have my queue going. But just because I've felt so detached from this blog lately, attempts at box openings/events have gone no where, as well as just not having a lot of my mutuals or friends makes it hard—all this while also having so much real life stuff going on.

I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this

What is the EARN IT Act?

The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.

This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.

Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)

This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.

NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.

The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.

EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.

As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.

This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.

This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.

Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.

It will make CSAM much much worse.

One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.

(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)

The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.

I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.

HOW TO FIGHT BACK

EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.

3. SPREAD THE WORD ONLINE

If you have any social media, spread this online. One of the best ways we fought back against this last year was MASSIVE spread online. Tiktok, reddit, twitter, discord, whatever means you have at least mention it. We could see most social media die out by this fall if we don't fight back.
