CONNOR: Cordy! Cordy!
CORDELIA: What?
CONNOR: Are you okay?
CORDELIA: Sure. Except for the morning sickness that can’t tell time.
CONNOR: Good. I mean, that you’re okay.
CORDELIA: Why wouldn’t I be?
CONNOR: Angelus. He was here again.
CORDELIA: Excuse me? (off his look; innocent) He was?
CONNOR: Downstairs. He caught Fred alone, used a fake charm. Fooled her long enough to take everything we had on whoever the Beast was working for.
CORDELIA: That son of a bitch…

JOYCE: (faces Buffy again) We got a very exciting shipment in at the Gallery. (glances around the room) I, um, thought I'd hang a few pieces in here.
JOYCE: It cheers up the room.
BUFFY: (looking at the mask) It's angry at the room, Mom. It wants the room to suffer.

We have changed our tag for the Hulu Sequel that was not picked up, which was named New Sunnydale. Previously the tag was "Hulu Sequel" but now we are tagging it "Hulu Pilot". (If it had been picked up and named New Sunnydale, that would have become the new fandom tag.) Our other fandom tags include: btvs, ats, buffy comics, slayers: a buffyverse story - to name some but not all. See the full list on our tags page.

Reblogs of "hulu sequel" have been changed to "hulu pilot" for the Digest. We will be updating our tags page soon.

There have been a lot of posts about the Pilot not getting picked up. A double Herald covering Sunday and Monday is delayed, but will be released sometime Tuesday (US time). It will include a lot of posts about the pilot. These will be labeled so you can read or avoid them as you like.

We anticipate this surge of activity about the pilot to die down at some point. Perhaps it will lead to more new viewers watching the original show (or movie). Perhaps it will lead to more fan art, fan videos, and fan fiction as people channel their pilot hopes and dreams into creative fanworks. We will see, and continue to document it in the Herald Newsletter.

As always, if you are interested in joining the crew that puts out one of the longest running (since 2004) fandom newsletters, reach out. We can always use a backup editor or more tumblr rebloggers.

Our contact info is available in the tumblr sidebar and LiveJournal/Dreamwidth profile as always. You can also comment on this post. Cheers!

BUFFY: Kathy's evil. I'm an evil fighter. It's simple... I'm gonna have to kill her.
WILLOW: You have to kill her? Don't you think you could just switch rooms, or something?
BUFFY: Well I would, but it's not just me in danger from Kathy. Look.
WILLOW: Toenails?
BUFFY: Evil toenails. I took them off the floor last night when she was in the bathroom. She thought I was asleep.
WILLOW: Good thinking, 'cause in the middle of the night those toenails could have attacked you and left little half-moon marks all over your body.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

XANDER: What?! (swallows) People?

ANGEL: Jesus, they garnished you? (unties Nina's gag)

NINA: No, get away! Just let them choke on me.

ANGEL: (unshackles Nina by hitting the cuffs with a metal urn) Listen to me. Tomorrow you're gonna be home.

NINA: This is what I am. I can't go back there, ever. This is better.

ANGEL: Nothing better about ending up in a doggy bag.

Case: Netchoice v Wilson, 3:26-cv-00543, (D.S.C.)

Netchoice's litigation page: Netchoice v Wilson

Netchoice filed the motion for preliminary injunction on March 9. It isn't available on the docket in RECAP yet (and I'm over my threshold for PACER fees that will get refunded for the quarter, or else I'd put it there!) but it is available on Netchoice's litigation page: Motion for Preliminary Injunction. They haven't included the declarations, but here's Dreamwidth's declaration as filed, authored by yours truly. Because of the wild incoherence of so many of the provisions of this law, many of which were new because a lot of states have switched to using different model legislation, I had to write almost all of our declaration for this one from scratch (while recovering from a lumbar puncture, lying flat on my back in bed: never let it be said I am not completely extra about the lengths to which I will go to fight against this bullshit), so much less of it will look familiar than usual, but boy was I mad.

We'll let you know when the judge makes a ruling on the PI! And three cheers as always for the Netchoice team and for the outside litigation counsel team, who is Lehotsky Keller Cohn for this one and who put in massively heroic effort to get this filed as fast as possible thanks to the law taking immediate effect.

Angel: "Sorry they're not closer. Getting five seats together..."
Wes: "Don't be silly. Best place. We get the whole panorama from here."
Cordy: "Besides, back here we stand less chance of setting off the 'under seventy' alarm."
Angel: "Back in the day I'd always get box seats. Or I'd just eat the people who had 'em.'
Cordy: "Don't lets reminisce. We're here. Enjoy."

Buffy turns to see Giles holding the crowbar over Ethan, who is still on the floor.
BUFFY: Uh, see if you guys can find something to tie him up with.
JOYCE: Um...
Joyce reaches behind her and pulls out a set of handcuffs, dangling them from her thumb and giving her daughter a sheepish but mischievous look.
Buffy looks at the handcuffs, her eyes widening in horror. She does not look at Joyce's face.
BUFFY: NEVER tell me.

The List of Shame

[staff profile] denise posting in [site community profile] dw_advocacy
People frequently ask us about whether their specific US state is trying to enact a social media age verification law so they can call their state representatives and yell at them about it! I have had "build a system that will let me easily update this without having to do so manually, categorizing these bills by status, what problems they have, and what we'd do about them if they pass" on my want-to-do list for a really long time, but until I can, here's the current list of bills I know about.

This (very long, sigh) list is accurate to the best of my knowledge as of 8 March 2026, but it may not include every bill that's been introduced in every state. (I've used a few different lists plus my own "searching until I got too depressed to continue" to assemble it, excluding laws I think have absolutely no chance of passing but including laws where I think there's still even a slight chance.) If you know of one that isn't on the list, please let me know in the comments!

These are state laws only. I'm concentrating on those because you can find lists of bad federal bills more easily, but all the lists of state bills I know of are industry-gated or limited-distribution. If you don't have a preferred source for finding out about bad federal legislation about the internet, Bad Internet Bills (from Fight for the Future) and the EFF Action Center are a great place to start!

This list is only counting social media bills; I am not including bills that don't apply to us because they're modeled on the app store/OS age signal model legislation or bills that deal with age verification for other services like chatbots or "AI companions", because I'd go completely off the rails and resort to just screaming incoherently when the list passed a hundred items. I will try to update this at least quarterly, or whenever the Magic 8 Ball says there's a rapidly moving bill that you need to yell at people about.

Prof. Walsh: Next class we'll be moving on to personality types and disorders. For those of you who have done the reading you already know (sees Buffy's hand up) yes?
Buffy: She read the reading.
Prof. Walsh: well, she'll have some time on her hands. As I was saying. We won't be able to cover it all in the class but that doesn't mean it isn't work knowing and it doesn't mean it won't be on the mid-term. Now, if I've been unclear in any way. Speak now.

WILLOW: Buffy wouldn't just take off, th-that's just not in her nature. Except for that one time she disappeared for several months and changed he name, but there were circumstances then. There's no circumstances.
KATHY: Does Buffy have a history of emotional problems? 'Cause on my request form I was pretty specific about a stable non-smoker.
OZ: I don't think this is her handwriting.
WILLOW: I bet there were circumstances! We've probably been so wrapped up in our own petty lives that... that we totally missed the circumstances. We're bad friends!
OZ: Let's think this through.
WILLOW: How can you be so calm?
OZ: Long, arduous hours of practice.

BUFFY: Well, I'm patrolling!
WILLOW: Buffy, you're sick.
BUFFY: No, I feel fine. I mean, I'm... the world's spinning a little bit, but I like it, it's kinda like a ride.
CORDELIA: Half the school's out with this flu. It's a serious deal, Buffy. We're all concerned about how gross you look.
BUFFY: I'm touched. Really. But I have work to do.
WILLOW: Buffy, come on, one night of rest is not gonna kill you.
BUFFY: No, but it might kill somebody else.
