Hey the US government is proposing to get rid of the Endangered Species Act. Please go comment.
(yes this entirely for corporate profit)
Cut and paste the docket number to put in your response if you remember. You can comment anonymously if you want.
The Oregon Zoo has some sample arguments you can make.
We have until December 22nd!
Well folks, it’s happening. We need to fight for our sisters in New Hampshire so they may use the bathroom as they please. This is ridiculous!
I am pleading with any NH residents, please mail your local legislatures, get your, protest, something! This is an obvious overreach of government power and it will become more common if we do not shoot it down now!
If you're near New Hampshire do everything you can to help fight this, if you're not, PLEASE spread the word! The trans women there deserve your support and solidarity, not just thoughts and prayers! I know how scary it can be to call and mail your government officials and I know how disheartening the empty platitudes they often respond with if they respond at all can be, but your voice can and does make a difference, especially when it isn't alone, so I am begging you not to be a bystander here!
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
Y'all know what to do Tumblr.
Tumblr people. If you care about the internet and I know you do, scream at your elected officials about internet censorship laws (aka ID verification laws) NOW. Today, tomorrow, and keep going.
Write an email and stick it in your notes app and send it every day, edit it when you have new ideas to send them. It takes less than a few minutes of your day.
Make a phone call if you can. Send a physical letter if you can.
It will make a difference. If we fail it will feel good to go down screaming.
Tell them the privacy concerns are too great. Tell them even if this is in the name of child safety, it will not protect minors at all— because it won’t. Tell them it will hurt the arts, it will hurt the spread of information. It will hurt the press it will hurt humanity’s ability to communicate.
It will hurt this incredible tool we’ve invented that yes, has problems. These ID verification laws are a solution to none of those problems.
HEY HEY, TO THE FEW PEOPLE WHO I KNOW FOLLOW ME AND WILL SEE THIS. I NEED YOUR HELP EVEN IF YOU AREN'T IN THE STATES.
THIS UPCOMING WEEK, TO MY KNOWLEDGE DEC. 1 - DEC. 10 THEY WILL BE DEBATING ON THE ONLINE CHILD SAFETY PACKAGE THAT HAS BILLS LIKE KOSA AND COPPA 2.0 IN IT!
I NEED YOU TO SPREAD THE WORD AS FAR AS YOU CAN, GET PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE STATES TO CONTACT THEIR REPRESENATIVES/SENATORS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO VOTE NO ON THIS.
DISCORDS, PERSONAL GROUP CHATS, EVEN OTHER TUMBLR USERS. WE NEED TO GET WORD OUT.
WE'VE BEAT THEM BEFORE; WE CAN BEAT THEM AGAIN. EVEN IF IT SEEMS BLEAK, WE HAVE TO FIGHT.
