Willow: “It just made me feel like I was right back in high school.”
Xander: “Dumb jock! If it wasn’t for you, HE still would be.”
Willow: “I mean, I know the Percy thing isn’t really important, it’s the dead guy on the bed.”
Xander: “Yeah, that’s bad, too.”

XANDER: We're getting married.
DAWN: Oh my god.
TARA: Congratulations!
WILLOW: That ... that's ... wow.
XANDER: It's a big wow.
ANYA: I ... I thought you were waiting for the right moment.
XANDER: I did.
BUFFY: (quietly to Giles) Did you know about this?
GILES: No. Unless I blocked it from my memory, much as I will Xander's vigorous use of his tongue.
(Giles removes his glasses and begins to clean them. Buffy watches this with an expression of outrage.)
BUFFY: Is that why you're always cleaning your glasses? So you don't have to see what we're doing?
GILES: Tell no one.

ANGEL: Are you gonna tell me that I'm jealous?
WILLOW: Well, you do sometimes get that way.
ANGEL: You know, I never used to. (sits on her bed) Things used to be pretty simple. (Willow types) A hundred years, just hanging out, feeling guilty... I really honed my brooding skills.

GILES: You're alive. You're here. And you're still ... remarkably strong.
BUFFY: Huh? Oh. Sorry.
GILES: Willow told me, but I didn't really let myself believe ...
BUFFY: I take a little getting used to. I'm still getting used to me.
GILES: It's, uh ... you're ...
BUFFY: A miracle?

BUFFY: What happened to Xander?
GILES: He kept poking me with his hook. (Buffy picks up an item from the counter) I sent him over to charmed objects. With any luck he'll poke the wrong one and end up in an alternative dimension inhabited by a 50-foot Giles that squishes annoying teeny pirates.

Code deploy happening shortly

Per the [site community profile] dw_news post regarding the MS/TN blocks, we are doing a small code push shortly in order to get the code live. As per usual, please let us know if you see anything wonky.

There is some code cleanup we've been doing that is going out with this push but I don't think there is any new/reworked functionality, so it should be pretty invisible if all goes well.

Mississippi site block, plus a small restriction on Tennessee new accounts

A reminder to everyone that starting tomorrow, we are being forced to block access to any IP address that geolocates to the state of Mississippi for legal reasons while we and Netchoice continue fighting the law in court. People whose IP addresses geolocate to Mississippi will only be able to access a page that explains the issue and lets them know that we'll be back to offer them service as soon as the legal risk to us is less existential.

The block page will include the apology but I'll repeat it here: we don't do geolocation ourselves, so we're limited to the geolocation ability of our network provider. Our anti-spam geolocation blocks have shown us that their geolocation database has a number of mistakes in it. If one of your friends who doesn't live in Mississippi gets the block message, there is nothing we can do on our end to adjust the block, because we don't control it. The only way to fix a mistaken block is to change your IP address to one that doesn't register as being in Mississippi, either by disconnecting your internet connection and reconnecting it (if you don't have a static IP address) or using a VPN.

In related news, the judge in our challenge to Tennessee's social media age verification, parental consent, and parental surveillance law (which we are also part of the fight against!) ruled last month that we had not met the threshold for a temporary injunction preventing the state from enforcing the law while the court case proceeds.

The Tennesee law is less onerous than the Mississippi law and the fines for violating it are slightly less ruinous (slightly), but it's still a risk to us. While the fight goes on, we've decided to prevent any new account signups from anyone under 18 in Tennessee to protect ourselves against risk. We do not need to block access from the whole state: this only applies to new account creation.

Because we don't do any geolocation on our users and our network provider's geolocation services only apply to blocking access to the site entirely, the way we're implementing this is a new mandatory question on the account creation form asking if you live in Tennessee. If you do, you'll be unable to register an account if you're under 18, not just the under 13 restriction mandated by COPPA. Like the restrictions on the state of Mississippi, we absolutely hate having to do this, we're sorry, and we hope we'll be able to undo it as soon as possible.

Finally, I'd like to thank every one of you who's commented with a message of support for this fight or who's bought paid time to help keep us running. The fact we're entirely user-supported and you all genuinely understand why this fight is so important for everyone is a huge part of why we can continue to do this work. I've also sent a lot of your comments to the lawyers who are fighting the actual battles in court, and they find your wholehearted support just as encouraging and motivating as I do. Thank you all once again for being the best users any social media site could ever hope for. You make me proud and even more determined to yell at state attorneys general on your behalf.

Congratulations to our new chief editor burnhername! (and changes to contact info)

It's been an honor helming [community profile] su_herald these past few years, but—alas—my attention is increasingly on offline pursuits, including a new full-time job that will prevent me from being as available as the Herald deserves. So our Wednesday editor [personal profile] burnhername has kindly agreed to step up as the next chief editor. burnhername has already been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to improve sundry things and support her fellow editors, so between her and our wonderful editor team, I'm certain the Herald will be in good hands.

I will still make newsletter posts for now, but the chief editor handles most of the Herald's communication and admin, and that'll be burnhername's wheelhouse now. So when you need to contact the person in charge around here, please use one of these contact options:
Links for including in the newsletter can still be submitted via our tumblr submission box (this should work even if you're not logged in to tumblr, and you don't have to provide a real email address if you don't want to) or by email—just remember that the Herald's email address is now sunnydaleherald@gmail.com.

WILLOW: Do you think you're ready to fight Angel?
BUFFY: I wish people would stop asking me that. Yes, I'm ready. I'm also willing and able. Just the one test I might actually pass.
WILLOW: Don't say that! You're gonna pass everything. I will get you through this semester if I have to sweat blood.
XANDER: Do you think you're likely to? 'Cause I'd like to be elsewhere.
WILLOW: It was only metaphor blood.
OZ: I think you'd sweat cute blood.
