Oddartist's oddities (they/them) @oddartist.bsky.social · 11h

Yesterday was the first anniversary for me starting HRT.
Now, as the pressure eases, I am sitting here, wondering about the calmness. The discordant note has become silent, my body and mind have found a way to coexist. Is this how it should have been the whole time? Man, I have been missing out.

Beware if you find yourself exploring an abandoned asylum during spooky season. I was captured, tightly bound and left hanging in an old cell, while I am nonstop ruthlessly tormented by the very kinky Rubber Wraith. Commission is from the incredible @stripedcrocodile.bsky.social

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

An image of an anthro dog boy in a crop top and panties. The crop top reads "KEEP CALLING" and the panties read "WE CAN WIN." Text around him reads: Barking news: Hot furries go to yellat.money & yap for queer creators and sex workers! Be polite, be chill, be persistent! Be the annoying queer you've always longed 2 be! He looks a little devious and is yap yap yapping into his phone. It is a silly doodle about an important thing.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.
