Finished Downton Abbey, so I'm feeling a bit sad.

But then again, maybe the characters have a chance at happiness now.. 😂 I'm not sure what I think about the way the series was written - mostly great, but the drama curve was just.. Bit too predictable for my taste.

Still, enjoyed this a lot! 😍

While I've been stressing about my dog... I decided to play my childhood games. Found PCEM and fucking hell - it honestly feels like I'm booting up my Windows 98 again.

LOVE IT.

And I love SimPark. I've soon played enough of it, though. Any good old game suggestions?

She's been getting better every hour. Doesn't use her leg yet, but she'll get there in a few days.

My little gremlin. I feel sorry for her - this'll take a few months aaaand this is only round 1. We'll have to do all this again in 3 months... 🫠

My dog had her first knee surgery yesterday. The surgery went great! All went as expected.

The night was .. difficult. She was high and scared - at one point she screamed her lungs out (luckily only for a few seconds only).

In the morning she finally had a great appetite and peed outside! 👍

I've spent most of the day working outside, and now I see that #bskycensorship is trending?
Okay, I'll join in.🍆🍆

...And now I'll go & get a cuppa and work on my newest nsfw pic. ✏️💪

Bluesky, quit it with these benighted policy changes.

Here's the message I sent in

You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point

Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"!

3/🧵

Screenshot of a feedback form with the text:

I'm writing about the upcoming change to the Bluesky TOS. Bluesky put out a feedback request and despite many people voicing concerns about the changes, very concerning updates have been maintained.

Bluesky has MANY moderation tools that users can utilize themselves to restrict content that they don't want to see without needing to prevent the content from being published on the site as a whole. Aside from content labels, there are user-run moderation lists and feeds so that anyone can curate their content easily.

Despite this, you have chosen to move forward with some incredibly harmful policies that restrict free speech. I implore you to remove the following policies:

1) The restriction of FICTIONAL kink content. Non-con, dub-con, and “dangerous” kink content that is FICTIONAL does not harm anyone.

2) The restriction of content depicting or discussing self harm, suicide, and substance abuse. Requiring content about these subjects to only be “educational” is extremely harmful to those dealing with these issues. Stigma only serves to further endanger people in crisis.

If these policy changes are not removed then I, among many others, will have to look for a different platform to use.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

I just thought I might as well post some old porn art while it's still possible.
This is from 2022 and there's also a fanfic I wrote that this illustration belongs to. I wrote some really "weird" niche stuff that I still like a lot. No regrets.

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent

Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead!

Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship

Demand bsky listen to its users

Not sure if I wanna continue the series.. And I very rarely stop series of this quality. I'm just getting bored of the tragedy.
