Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

It's gonna get worse.

Speaking of, have you ever been so woke noticing your own muscle memory? You accomplish the same task over and over and then stop and realize,

“Oh shit, is this how I’ve been doing it all this time?!” 😶

And then you try to alter a different technique thinking if it’s better than what you’ve been doing all these years, yet you still revert back to your own muscle memory…?

I'm not sure if "woke" is the right word for this, but yes, I've had moments where I've suddenly snapped out of muscle memory, only to realize, "oh fuck the way I'm doing this is actually really dangerous"
