Hey if anyone wants the domain "werewolf.pet" please reach out to me. Consolidating the domains I own because micromanaging finances is cool.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

me: while writing this contemporary i had a crisis about the characterization of the titular book 3 MC bc their development in book 1 isn't lining up with what they were supposed to be for the title so i started working on a MMF scifi standalone instead

friend: I mean, that's one way of handling it

query my boss who is a huge nerd about her inbox

Keir Alekseii @keiralekseii.bsky.social · Jul 26

So I hear more than one group chat is taking bets on how long until I hit 100 queries and while I don't gamble nor do I seek to encourage gambling... if you're gonna do it, you should always be armed with as much information as possible...

the fact thay payment processors are singlehandedly neutering the internet GLOBALLY because of some purity police bullshit is making me fucking exhausted in my joints

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

A win! A federal judge has just blocked part of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that aimed to restrict Medicaid funding. Judge Indira Talwani, ruling from the District of Massachusetts, ordered the Trump administration to continue Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood health centers.

Judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from cutting off Planned Parenthood funding

Planned Parenthood sued the administration Monday, alleging that a provision of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is unconstitutional and will cause irreparable harm.

y’all i accidentally made the alt text rhyme (curls up on the floor) 😭🫶🏻

i can’t imagine just leaving a profile pic blank. i’m way too dramatic to not have something like a meme, shitpost, or my favorite selfie of the day.

jem z @jemzero.bsky.social · Jul 21

admittedly i am mildly sick of allies saying "you can't change your sex" when what they're trying to refer to is chromosomes.

like i 100% promise you can change your sex. i wouldn't have spent the last week laid up in bed with my crotch on a pillow if you couldn't. 😬😅

jem z @jemzero.bsky.social · Jul 21

that's so wild because the surgeon who just turned my labia into a scrotum would argue otherwise

which is to say you can absolutely change your sex. i can't change my DNA or chromosomes but i don't give a fuck about those anyway. i haven't been karyotyped and i am more or less hormonally intersex.

Contrary to popular belief, the cure to bunr out is not to do more work. Especially if you are autistic. Because when autistic folks burn out, we never go back. We will drop a job or a hobby and never pick it up again.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
