I wish someone cared about me.

@Jazzy_Butts GLc has stopped registrations, most members have left or don't post any more, most of those who remain are poastards et alii anyways so there's next to no original content, there are hypocritical puritanical mods/admins who shadowban people and make a mockery of "free speech" etc... etc...
From my perspective, looking at it from the outside now, it's just a personal fiefdom for Beard and a pet-project for Matrix. Nothing more.
Commission for @GJeeN: Aunt Petunia finally swallows her pride and treats Harry with much better care. 💞
UPDATE MEGAPOST:
They're trying to push the same prohibitive law in the United States again. https://www.stopkosa.com/
Call your representatives!
And now the EU is pushing it as well. I'll provide more information on this soon.
Also if you're from the UK, keep signing this petition. The response may be braindead, but there's still plenty of time for debate.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
Also, contact your MP, as that speaks louder than signing a petition;
https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/#jumplink1
And contact Ofcom (it'll probably be a braindead response so I'm not sure on this one).
This is vital - not just for explict content but also privacy, freedom of speech/information and the legacy of the fediverse.
Xitter has been affected. You can't even change location or use a VPN to get around the sensitive content blocking anymore. To top this off, it affects the EU as well since they use the same server. Only way to get verified is a paywall as of current. I hope their traffic tanks.
Lots of websites have shut down or blocked off UK users in response to the law (though you can get around the latter, fortunately).

One of my friends from school met his then girlfriend when he was babysitting her (she might have been like 10 or maybe even younger, I think?). They were together for something like 7 or 8 years. When he was in university she was still in school. They didn't have children, but it was a sweet relationship, there was no abuse, both parents gave their permission, and he refused to do penetrative sex until she was 16 (even though she was the one demanding sex from him, and not vice-versa).
Another one of my friends from school met his future wife and mother of 3 daughters when they were like 12 or 13. They were fucking in school (in our study, of all places) like rabbits. One time when we went down to the local town on a break he stopped off at the pharmacy to pick up a pregnancy test!
Speaking of the Baltics, did you know Estonia only changed their AoC from 14 to 16 in 2022?! I could have gone to Estonia when I was in university and banged a "barely legal" teenager, haha!
Americans genuinely can't fathom a "minor" having a relationship with an "adult". Their brain short-circuits. Smoke comes out of their ears and their eyes roll back into their head.
