Thanks to the FEC and OpenSecrets we're able to find who's lobbying and funding the age verification laws. Interestingly enough it turns out the same entities are the largest funders of the UK Online Safety Act, California's Age-Appropriate Design Code, Digital Age Assurance Act and New York's SAFE for Kids Act. so here it is: Oak Foundation funds: - 5Rights Foundation (they run the Kids Code Coalition and are UK based) - Fairplay - Common Sense Media Oak Foundation is funded solely by Alan M. Parker the British billionaire who co-founded Duty Free Shoppers. Common Sense Media (one of Oak's funded orgs) is also independently funded by: - Bezos Family Foundation - Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) - Gates Foundation - Dell Foundation - Craig Newmark Philanthropies - Hewlett Foundation - Tom Steyer / Kat Taylor Combined, the funding flowing into this advocacy ecosystem exceeds $100M/year.

Who Are You? Part Two Do you remember the scene in that classic film What about Bob? in which Bob arranges to have himself tied to the mast of a sailboat? He wants to be included in his friends’ activities despite his fears, and as the boat goes forward he yells with pride, “I’m sailing! I’m a sailor! I sail!” We chuckle, but what exactly makes this scene so funny? I think it’s the absurd juxtaposition of an identity claim with evidence that it’s not true. I love this scene because those statements represent three overlapping but not identical realities. To get grammar-nerdy about it: The present participle “I’m sailing” implies that this occurrence is happening right now, but might not happen regularly. I’m not swimming or walking. I’m sailing. https://writerunboxed.com/2026/02/26/who-are-you-part-two/ #CRAFT #REALWORLD #character #identity

Why I'll always speak my mother language of Bangla, while embracing a new life in Canada "Every time I hear my mother tongue, Bangla, it feels like home, even when home is far away," writes Steinbach's Itrat Anwar. "That's why everyone should celebrate their own mother language, no matter where in the world they live." #language #culture #identity #Canada https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/first-person-itrat-anwar-mother-language-9.7081340?cmp=rss

Who am I? He wasn’t confused. He wasn’t cognitively impaired. He wasn’t even primarily depressed. He was undone. Something deeper than mood or stress had fractured. The story he had lived inside no longer made sense. #Identity #anxiety #pain #psychology Source: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/who-am-i.html #Faith #ChristianNews #Bible
