Every night there's a supermoon, especially if I know well ahead of time, I like to put it on! Also picked up saying "La Luna" every full moon

I have been developing a growing obsession with liminal spaces and I wanted to make what a bedroom in the poolrooms might feel like. Pretty, calming, but an underlying sense of danger. Your chances of survival are maybe 85% here.

And that's why they hate education

Panel 1: a Teacher wearing a tie and glasses stands in front of his class room. Behind him is a white board that says "Wordl History". He says to the class "Alright class take your seats"
Panel 2: He points to the board and says "Today we're gonna go over sine very basic world history"
Panel 3: a caption above reads "Later" and we see a child from the class enter his home and say to his father who is wearing a red hat (signafying trump support) "Did you know fascism is bad?"
Panel 4: The father throws up his fists and yells "THEY'RE INDOCTRINATING THE YOUTHS!!!"

What do you mean that the World's Greatest Trickshot scene happens in episode -8- of Combattler, it would take any other series until at least episode 30 to do something this ridiculous.

I don't know what it is about art, in particular, that has so many people feel like they are being gatekept from it.

I mean, it is one of the most accessible things in the world! You just grab any scrap of paper, something that can make marks on it, and --boom-- you can do art.

Anti Censorship Cheat Sheet

Why?
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 platforms 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 Onlyfans to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended period, over a month at the absolute least, will almost guarantee that these companies will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. This list is not exhaustive, but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

Visa

US/Canada: +1-800-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

Mastercard

US: +1-800-307-7309
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111

Stripe

Headquarters: +1-888-963-8955
France: +33-805-11-19-67
Email: complaints@stripe.com

Paypal

US: +1-888-221-1161
Outside US: 1-402-935-2050
Customer Service: +1-877-569-1116

Try to hit all 4 targets per day. This is only going to have an effect if as many people as possible call every day as long as possible. This is a marathon, not a race. If you can, it is also a good idea to try to spread the word to organizations and groups that can either actively combat these huge companies legally, or can spread news, in a manner supportive of this movement, more effectively than your average person.

Panel 1: A man holding a stick figure drawing says to a robot man "Can AI do thhhiisss?"
Panel 2: The robot holding a drawing of a stick figure man that reads "I have no soul" states "Of course!"
Panel 3: The man retorts "Without using massive data centers that do irreparable damage to the enviornment?"
Panel 4: the robot looking nervous, sweating oil and pulling his own collar as if to breath says "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
