Hey! The KOSA (kids online safety act) is being reintroduced to congress this month, and this could put sites like ao3 and tumblr at risk of being deleted. ao3 is a well known source of mental respite for many readers, and a necessary creative outlet for many writers— especially for LGBTQ+ creators. There’s a petition you can sign if you value these websites, and want to ensure their longevity! 

(This petition isn’t my own, and it goes into further, necessary detail, but I wanted to share the link wherever I can!)

Fight for the Future

Stop KOSA

Arthur: *looking at Merlin* or yours?

Merlin: *scanning arthur Back* or mine

Later

Arthur, in his mind: yes, I am doing all of this for Camelot. I am learning all their ways and become part of the tribe. I am doing my best performances in every daily task! I will become the perfect bride to their leader....

Uther, upon meeting Arthur: and what have you learned about their plans against camelot?

Arthur, flower crown in hair: their what

information for the non-US fans of 911 or the rookie:

THE post that saved all the international 911 watchers is gone now so I’m doing my civil service by making a shitty version of one to prepare us for s7🫶🤩

And because I’ve been using this information to watch the rookie live I’m letting the girlies from the rookie fandom know too just in case cos now they’re both on abc anyways 🫡

Places you can watch 911 or the rookie live if you’re not in the US:

Daddyhd (promise it’s not 🌽) - this one is the one that’s most reliable for me personally but it takes some ad dodging till it loads

Tv24/7US

Places you can watch 911 or the rookie pretty early on after it airs (couple of hours in my experience with the rookie):

Hurawatch - this one loads up perfectly and quite quick and there are usually multiple servers so it’s great, I think you need a VPN tho

FreeTvProject- I tried this one once or twice and it was good too🫡

A good VPN:

X-VPN -link on this is to the AppStore version so if this link doesn’t work that’s why

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
