KOSA is having trouble passing. Fucking good.
The only reason it didn't pass the first two times is because we spoke out about it!
DON'T PANIC, TAKE ACTION.
I can feel the trolls brain rot calling out to me, pulling me back under like a siren calls to a sailor. I really, really want to roleplay trolls man, the hyperfixation demands it lmao. If anyone on this beautiful website would be interested, please reach out? I’m fine with ocxcanon, considering the brainrot has gotten to me so much that I’ve actually made an oc for John Dory. I’ve got a story thought out and everything for them, and would love to it if someone was willing to play JD for my OC! And I’m down for canon x canon too. Would loveeeee some Floydx riff, or something but I’m down to talk ships. I mostly only play mxm tho. I’m down with nsfw eventually but would love to establish plots and stuff. As a result tho please be 21+. As long as I get responses that are at minimum, three short paragraphs, I’m happy. If anyone’s interested feel free to send a message or leave a like!
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

Topics to Avoid 🤫 (W/ @dahlialiketheflower & @domgoldofficial)
KOSA literally violates the First Amendment freedoms. If this is passed, then that means the Constitution and Bill of Rights are basically void, because Congress are ignoring them. THATS A PROBLEM
As a teen myself, it pisses me off. I wish for anarchy, with everything the US government has been doing, from supporting Israhell to this bullshit.
Please, do what you can to prevent this from getting passed. It violates everyone’s rights in the US, and if it gets passed, then we’re back to where we started; a monarchy. Just with far too many people.
In the unlikely event my posts reach anyone, this is for those of you who struggle with long posts:
KOSA (The Kids Online Safety Act) is NOT a good thing.
Anything KOSA hasn't approved will be removed, including posts about mental health, LGBTQ+, etc
You will no longer be anonymous.
You can be traced.
Your parents will have full control.
KOSA will have full control.
KOSA is the internet's Big Brother and it CANNOT be allowed to happen.
