April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberEspecially when you're up on the line, working, and the you feel the line start to shake and so you look left and see nothing coming. Then you look right just in time to see a squirrel leap at your face, teeth and claws bared, (that's what you are thinking, anyway) only to bounce off your hard hat and continue running on the line the other way. It's especially nerve wracking when they jump from a tree branch and you have no warning! Not like it's happened to me before or anything.

BlockedYikes.
My parents had a problem with squirrels in the attic. Animal control wouldn't do anything--squirrels were classed as vermin--and the squirrels refused to go. They tried non-lethal traps, they tried fox urine, they tried poison, they tried BB guns, they even borrowed the neighbor's cat--nothing worked. The squirrels eventually made their way downstairs--my parents built a ramp to an open window, but the little fuckers wouldn't leave.
My dad's shovel now has two little "x"s on it.
