The only bad thing about playing Undertale and Deltarune is that a ton of YouTubers use UT/DR songs for background music, and you will never be able to stop recognizing them.
I love using random pencils I find on the ground 💪💯💯

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
I don't often make serious original posts, but I am legitimately worried about the KOSA situation and everyone should be too. I think most people are not understanding what's going on with this. I don't see much people talking about it, and they SHOULD. You all should care. Here are some of my biggest worries.
KOSA wants to give parents access to their kids' text messages. From what I saw, it would have an extra cost and they'd need the kids' "consent". But come on, if the parents are controlling or even abusing they could definitely force the kid to "agree" against their will. Also, if they don't properly explain the situation to the kids, they might give blind consent. Think about all the very private texts you send to your close friends, and the texts your friends send to you. Think how humiliating or even dangerous it could be if your parents read them.
This is supposed to prevent bullying and stuff like that, but what if the kid is in the closet and has homophobic/transphobic parents. What if the parents are racist and don't want the kid talking to their poc friends. What if the parents are very religious and the kid is an atheist/agnostic. What if the parents are pro Israel and the kid is pro Palestine. This would be an excessive and unacceptable invasion of privacy.
Kids and teens who are/are questioning if they are queer would not have access to any resources and queer-positive spaces. Lots of queer people can only be openly queer online. Even if they come from accepting families, they may just not be ready to be out yet. Every queer person should have the right to explore their identity in their own terms.
This includes intersex kids with bigoted parents who wouldn't have access to help, sources, information, intersex-positive spaces, support groups, etc.
KOSA would also restrict access to sources about mental health.
This would take away the right and opportunity for kids and teens to protest, manifest and boycott.
Teenagers wouldn't have access to information about anything sex related. I'm not only talking about porn and smutty fanfiction (tho I do believe teens deserve access to this as well.) I mean teens from extremely conservative families wouldn't have access to information about safe sex, consent, planned parenthood, what to do in case of STDs, etc.
Many 15 and 16 year olds have sex, or want to have sex, and they should have access to these sources. Restricting the access to sexual education will not stop teens from having sex, but it will probably lead them to do it unsafely and take uneducated decisions about it.
Pregnant teenagers wouldn't have access to information about safe abortion. KOSA would probably take the decision away from them.
If a kid is going through a complicated or even dangerous situation at home they wouldn't be able to rant about it/seek help online.
Kids and teens couldn't have any online friends.
Kids and teens' social media presence and activity would be totally monitored and controlled.
Same as their google history.
KOSA would either take down or restrict access to websites like tumblr, ao3, wattpad, discord, etc.
This affects all of us btw. Ao3 is based in the us, if they take the whole site down we are all screwed. Hopefully they would either become age-restricted or relocate in a different country.
But even if they do that, lots of ao3 writers are usamerican minors. Lots of ao3 readers are usamerican minors.
Lots of fanartist are usamerican minors.
Some of my dear mutuals and online friends are usamerican minors.
This is bad. Please sign the petitions.
Me at every family event:
KOSA is coming back and it has gotten more support than ever. The bill has recently gained support from companies such as Twitter, Snapchat, and Microsoft. If this bill continues to gain more and more bipartisan support, the chances of it passing are going to increase. If this bill passes, everyone’s private information is going to be at a high risk and, depending on which state you’re in, very important topics are going to be wiped off of the face of the internet and free speech won’t be an option.
Please, call your senators, send your senators an email, or send a physical letter to your senators. We need to continue fighting and put an end to this dogshit bill.
I draw lol I'm also never online 😭---Pinterest account is SomeRandomWeirdo56 :> I am a minor-don't be creepy pls 🙏
