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.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberThe end may come before we were ready to get there.
But always remember: life isn't about getting to the end.
It's always heartbreaking to see people you love pass away.

MemberI've been on here for years, with comments disabled. But today I searched for an old comic I loved before I knew what it would mean to me...
I learned in recent years that I have what's probably a neurodegerative disease or something, or will progress into one. And it's already taking things away from me. I'm most certainly not going to be able to live to average life expectancy, and I'm worried about becoming too far gone to end things before I become a brainless burden that doesn't know who he is anymore. The countermeasures I've thought of would involve having other people assess me and tell me the trigger phrase which I'll mentally tie to a strong and concise memory of doing what I should...but how can I place that burden on others?
I'm not afraid of most things anymore, even death, but I'm terrified of losing who I am, and even moreso of doing so alone.
I don't want anyone to go through this horrid thing next to me...but I don't want to be alone anymore...
I'm so scared to ask for help...
And ironically what keeps me going is just forgetting about all of this.
Willingly forgetting my heart's desire, so that I can live long enough to forget about everything unwillingly. What a cruel joke.
