Beach day!!

Rosie and Rune on the beach, in sexy swimsuits. Rosie's speech bubble says "Hey boys!!" And Rune's speech bubble says "Sorry we're late!"
In the corner is a small drawing of Shin and Kuro (their boyfriends) in the water, Shin is holding a volleyball, with a flustered face. Kuro, also with a flustered face, is holding up a thumbs up.

Sending military troops to police civilians undermines public trust, puts soldiers in legal and ethical jeopardy, and puts all of us at risk.

If you’ve ever served in the military, join us and @commondefense.bsky.social to send a message to the Defense Department: No troops in our communities.

JapanPost is suspending all shipments to the US now, which means the 3 Toga figures I had that were expected to ship soon, as well as one already in shipment, probably won'tcome at all

So almost all my favorite hobbies have now been killed thanks to some fucked up nazi mummy in DC

Great.

Adult games have *never* received so much mainstream press before, and it's reaching many players for the first time. We can come out of this healthier than ever, but we gotta work for it. Do your dailies!

And, stay strong and vigilant about this. We can still do this!

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment.

If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business.

Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Aug 12

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

Agreed! 🚨🧵🚨

This is not only mass censorship of LGBTQIA+ community.

But it's also to eradicate LGBTQIA+ people but public life.

We ALL must fight against this. NEVER stop calling!

For a repeat of 1933 Germany must NEVER happen again!

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*

KOSA has been reintroduced.

This is almost assuredly intentional, as anyone involved with the NSFW space is likely already focused on the Payment Processor situation.
If you have the time, and can do more than spread this message, go here to fill this out:
www.stopkosa.com

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Cheat Sheet v.2

nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i

more comprehensive info can be found here:
stop-paypros.neocities.org
yellat.money

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:

2. MASTERCARD:

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.
