For The Sake Of Bespoke To Broken I Made A Brother Character For The Bard, His Name Is The Laureate And

I'm getting increasingly frustrated at the fact that I have not seen anybody on here. talk about the state of transgender rights in the state of Iowa. Our governor, Kim Reynolds, has signed a law that removes transgender and non-binary people's civil rights that protect them from being discriminated against when it comes to housing, education, and employment.

Iowa has become the first state to approve this legislation that prevents transgender and non-binary people from being protected under the state's civil rights code. This law, effective July 1st, is all under the guise of protecting people assigned female at birth; keeping transgender people out of bathrooms and locker rooms.

It's aim? To create explicit legal definitions of what it means to be male and female solely based on reproductive organs, which in turn denies that an individual can transition to another gender.

Where is everybody's outrage? Where is the support for trans and non-binary people's lives and rights in a Red state? Where is your fucking compassion for us? I've had it with people living comfortably and cozy in their own worlds, not seeing outside their fucking bubbles and not supporting the rest of their community as our rights crumble right before our eyes.

not that great at painting water yet, but i’m learning!!!

second pass on Lum and their story! the new protagonist is Jacob (left), an alchemist who is trying to undo his greatest mistake: helping create the Philosopher's Stone…

In Gaza, we don't live — we survive, We starve… we drink contaminated water, We’re displaced again and again, We sleep to the sound of bombing and wake up to new fear, Our homes are rubble, and our dignity is buried beneath it, And still, the world stays silent — as if our pain doesn’t reach, If there’s still a conscience out there, then hide it from us… because we’re tired of screaming into the void💔.

I need HELP

I feel unsafe in my own home, not sure if or when it's all going to be taken away from me after threats made by my father. who's decided to pull the rug out from under my whole family, we're fighting how we can, but i want to get out of all this. We're trying to hopefully handle this with legal means, stops his threats in it's tracks, but my living situation feels deeply unsafe and it feels like I'll need to back up everything and run any day now, my sleeps been a mess, and I've been a mess of anxiety while this all goes on. the support has been helping me get some piece of mind, but i'm REALLY looking to ge the hell out of all of this drama that's been my life and ge tas far away from that man as possible. he's hurt me throughout my life and I'm so tired of it, I just want to move away, do something else. start my own life without this looming shadow over it. you've all supported a ton, and I'm beyond greatful. you've spread the word, and it's been wonderful for keeping me safe in the moment, but any further support will be actively put towards me getting the fuck out. if everyone who saw this donated a single dollar, i'd be practically half way to my goal,

Hey there. I'm Synth, or Harper, I'm an Oregon based Voice Actor who… Synth Charm needs your support for Help Harper aka Synth Escape a t

I have no idea how to begin this post. I’m shocked no one else on Tumblr has made it before me, since this news came out February.

But…

Starting “later this year” (no explicit date), Google will begin using AI to detect “minors lying about their age” (accounts that claim to be 18+ but aren’t.)

CNBC

Google to test using AI to determine users’ ages

It comes as the company leans more heavily into AI and as it faces pressure from lawmakers.

This is based on what you search, and the videos you watch on YouTube.

If you are an adult who watches things aimed at teenagers on YouTube- your account will be incorrectly flagged as “lying” and you will be, immediately and automatically, locked down. Restricted Mode on YouTube with no way to deactivate it, SafeSearch always on full force, privileges suspended.

It gets worse. If Google thinks you are under 13- the minimum age to have an account- it will, after a brief delay, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.

If you are a fan of a children’s show- say Thomas the Tank Engine, Super Wings, or Handy Manny- or even one aimed at “older” kids like Big City Greens- YOU ARE IN DANGER.

So… what can you do?

As far as anyone knows, the tracking is account-based, so if you browse or watch children’s content while signed out you should be safe.

WRITE TO GOOGLE. Tell them how displeased you are. Do not use “nice” words- they do not deserve them.

Search for alternatives to Google Chrome, Google Search, and every function an account can provide. Type these queries into the search engine a few more times than usual, to give them a little heart attack. They deserve it.

SPREAD THIS NEWS. Not just on Tumblr- spread it on every platform you have. And real life is a platform, too.

If you speak more languages than just English, translate this warning- this is coming to the US first, but that doesn’t mean it won’t eventually spread to the rest of the world.

And finally, WARN YOUR FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE VULNERABLE TO THIS. To that extent, I’ll be tagging:
