So, the 116th Congress has ended, and SISEA has died with it. At least this iteration of it, as they could eventually reintroduce it into the 117th Congress if they wanted, only time will tell.

It did not get further than being introduced to the 116th, according to the congress.gov page on it.

Unfortunately it was not actually voted on yet as far as I know, and as such was not actually shot down yet, meaning... I think, I'm no expert on this stuff and I could be being stupid here, but I think if they were to explicitly reject SISEA then it would be dead for good? But they didn't explicitly reject it so it's not permadead.

Since they simply ran out of time for it and did not vote either way, they can eventually reintroduce it if they wished. I haven't heard anything yet on whether they have any intention of reintroducing it anytime soon, however we're only a day, not even, into the 116th Congress ending, so...

If you're not sure what the deal with SISEA was, I explained in detail in the description of my most recent Joni drawing.

Sex workers, NSFW artists, and minors alike (I still feel sick over that loophole SISEA had) in America can breathe a sigh of relief for now. However, still continue to be on the lookout in case they do ever decide to reintroduce it.

Even if SISEA is simply delayed and not permanently dead, this still buys more time to raise hell, let your reps know the problems SISEA had, and possibly vote in better people (I don't get a lot of comments typically, but just in case, please no arguments or rudeness about anything; I've only gotten political here to inform, not to cause arguments or attract assholes).

So, anyway, I said in the drawing that if it does not pass I'd draw Joni taking the shirt off, and since it currently did not pass, I'll draw it. I've got some other stuff to do tonight so it'll have to wait. I'll do it soon, though.

I'm kinda pumped (hence the Crab Rave joke in the title, I've had the meme stuck in my head ever since I saw that 116th Congress didn't pass it). I've had a lot of ideas in my head and I'm thinking once I find the time I might actually have the energy to draw more NSFW.

I've apparently only uploaded two things in 2020- only one of them I even actually drew in 2020 (the first was sketches from late 2019 that I only got around to posting in early 2020), which is... uh.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel like this year I may be able to get more content out!
