if you want young queers to want to associate with elder queers then maybe the culture shouldn't be so ridiculous and over the top. I get second hand embarrassment from drag queens and leather daddies and kinksters in puphoods acting like they represent all gays

I would much rather be represented by drag queens, leather daddies and pups than by petulant cowards afraid of their own reflection. You are talking about people who never had the option of being seen as "normal people who just happen to be gay" and channeled their pain into self expression, community and art. And who are you? You define yourself not in terms of who you are and what you create but in terms of who you are not and what you lack. These people you hate only seem larger than life because your life is too small and insignificant to fit them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org

info and resources on pay discrimination: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

So many people suddenly deathly concerned about the censorship that the sex industry has been dealing with for years.

This is what "canary in the coal mine" means.

This is why you defend speech even if you don't like it.

This is why you listen to people on the margins.

X says Britain's newly-enacted Online Safety Act "seriously" is on the cusp of violating free speech masked as the fight to protect kids from explicit online content.

late night plans ^^
#pangolinyuri

A grey scale 4-panel comic

Panel 1: Naomi the tiger is sitting at her desk looking frustrated at the papers on it. Li the pangolin is standing behind her in a bathrobe and a mug of tea looking worried.

Panel 2: Li leans over to kiss Naomi saying "g'night hun". Because she's holding a glass she hugs Naomi with her tail and Naomi does the same back.

Panel 3: Naomi is waving to Li who is now out of frame. The camera pans to the right to show she is also reaching for a scrapbook from the shelf by her desk.

Panel 4: A POV shot of Naomi looking at her scrapbook of wedding ideas. On the left page are cutouts of four different rings and the note "which would she like more??". On the right are cutouts of two different styles of wedding dress.
There's also a small bubble with Naomis face smiling with big sparkly eyes looking at the book.

If someone brings up drama about someone you know, remember you're not in highschool anymore. Reach out to the person and get clarity instead of believing it outright.

People will lie or share misinformation without even realizing.

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

Cartoon monster lady, Sue, in a "Don't Stop Calling T-shirt, pointing at a personification of "puritan activist groups" looming over a personification of "payment processor"

Sue's Dialogue: YOOHOO! These motherfuckers think they can pick and choose what you do with your own money. You wouldn't let them do that, would you?

This is the most needlessly self-indulgent nonsense I've ever drawn, lol. I've decided my AU silly Astra is trans now in her ultimate endgame.
