Digital painting of my OC Cody, a Halo Spartan clad in green armor, laying face down on top of Kiesling, a normal soldier with his helmet off. Blood is pooling underneath them. Kiesling is saying "Hey... Cody, wake up! Please" with a scared expression

Its almost like anti-porn laws are never actually about porn. 🤔

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Bluesky deletes the accounts of the very real Gaza civilians here. But their plight isn't over and they rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her family. And find and help others. We’re their only voice and means of survival. ❤️ 🙏

I really think it's my most art deco art, and as minimal as possible. Harmony!

Shipping times will be delayed, so keep that in mind - but between tarries last month and now this its been a rough one.

If you've been wanting anything, it's a great time to grab it!

Daily bunny no.3105 needs to ask nicely

Two bunnies stand at the foot of an old brick wall, in a forest somewhere. There is a small door in the wall, the only way through. At the top of the wall are four blackbirds, one of which has the key in its beak. The bunnies implore the bird for the key

Tapling: Queer Zines 🏳️‍🌈 @taplingzines.bsky.social · 3h

We're tired of LGBTQ+ content being censored.

Tired of people pretending that being queer or trans is a new "fad", and not something that’s existed, perfectly naturally, for as long as people have been around.

Check out our mission, and join us in fighting censorship. 🏳️‍🌈
⬇️

Rainbow stripes with a white text box over it, and an image below of a person holding the intersectional pride flag over their back. The text box reads: "As a team of two trans (Sapling is nonbinary and Felix is two-spirit!) husbands, we’ve felt exhausted online lately, with censorship closing in on us all. Queer content is being banned, restricted, under fire, and we’re sick of it. So we’re creating something offline, a physical art book, a collaborative community project. Something to give us all hope. Something to connect us through our many cultures, all across the world. With our first zine, “We’ve Always Been Here,” we aim to show just this: that we’ve always been a part of history, and we’ll always be a part of the future too."

Rainbow stripes with a white text box, and an image below of two Black men getting close, with one kissing the other on the cheek. The text box reads: "'We’ve Always Been Here' focuses on the 'unseen' queer history of the world. There’s plenty of names we all know of real people who have made their mark: Marsha P. Johnson, Alan Turing, Audre Lorde, Oscar Wilde, Frida Kahlo, and many, many more. But what about those that didn’t ‘go down in history’? What about the woman down the street from your great grandmother, who lived with her ‘best friend’ for decades until she passed? What about the medieval king who kept his lover secret his whole life? What about the cowboys who used the wide, open ranges with no one else around to keep their relationships a secret?"

Rainbow stripes with a white textbox, and below are three circular images of two Korean women walking together, two African men laughing as they talk, and two Indian women chatting and laughing. The text box reads: "Our zine focuses on this, on the everyday people that no one knew about, that no one wrote about. The people that modern society wants to pretend never existed. LGBTQ+ people just living their lives, throughout all of history and all of the world. We want to show one simple thing to the world with this collaborative zine: We’ve always been here. And we always will be."
