It’s probably WELL beyond too late for fanart of Skinamarink, isn’t it?

A cross stitch illustration of a pile of children's interlocking construction block toys in the shape of a crescent moon wreath. In the top left is an empty doll house resting diagonally. At the top is an upside down child’s tape recorder toy and microphone. To the bottom left is a rolling rotary phone toy with a face. Its eyes are mismatched blobs and it appears at close glance to be covered in stickers. All the toys are tinted with a lights-out blue shade. Text in the center of the wreath shape reads “in this HOUSE”, all elements referencing the trailer for the film “Skinamarink” (2022).

I’m not keen on jumping ship just yet but if this place goes belly up I’m not going back to the mechahitler app. I’ll just go live behind the walls of the internet and play a pipe organ all day like the phantom of the opera.

In spooky seasons of yesteryear I had a little show that some of you enjoyed. This isn't a new season, but sometimes I can still manage a little something. Here's an entirely too in-depth review of the 1985 spooky TV-movie DEADLY MESSAGES. Please watch as many times as possible. youtu.be/LHDPgSO7FtI

A cartoon illustration of an armadillo on a beige background with a pink and purple border. The armadillo has a toasted tortilla shell, and its body is of melty yellow cheese. Its eye is made of a black bean, and its body is speckled with red pepper, jalapenos, and green onion. Text underneath reads “QUESADILLO”.

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

Michelle Keep @jmkeep.bsky.social · Sep 3

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

RedBubble has again decided that satire and parody have no discussion in the matter. I'm not allowed to have a defence because this big company acted first.

This design also stays down, but you can still look at it in all the usual places.

Knadire @knadire.bsky.social · Aug 20

Yet another one of my pieces has gotten taken down from RedBubble due to "copyright complaints". Going to contest this again but my hopes are pretty low after how the last one panned out.

RedBubble's official stance is that Strawberry Shortcake's IP holder's opinion is more important than mine and there's nothing more I'm allowed to do about it.

Pretty disappointed since I'm proud of that design but it is how it is. It can't be sold but you can still view it in the usual places.

Knadire @knadire.bsky.social · Aug 19

Quick update: Strawberry IP Holdings LLC has decided that this design infringes their copyright and took the listing down.

I'm going to argue that this falls under parody and is a legally distinct design, but no promises it'll come back.

Potential for those of you who do business via Stripe even without LGBTQ stuff.

Call saying that you have overheard from a LGBTQ client that they are boycotting your business due to hearing about Stripe's discrimination and are losing customers, and you will switch processors to keep your clients.

Malachite Tigerbunny @malachitetiger.bsky.social · Aug 12

Stripe crossed a line now.

Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone.

Also libraries and bookstores.

Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

Mostlycogent @mostlycogent.bsky.social · Aug 12

Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

Call Mastercard and ask if you have permission to see the latest horror or thriller flick in theatres without getting your card denied. You heard someone got shot or injured in it ""nonconsensually"".

Keep up the pressure.

This has been brought to my attention so I'd like to curb the spread of misinformation. My follow-up statement still stands however; these regulations will block invaluable resources for victims and needs to be actively fought until reverted.

Mouthwashing is a masterpiece telling an important message, and having it de-indexed is entirely unacceptable.
By censoring the topics they've chosen to, they are eliminating criticism and critique of said topics.

We HAVE to fight back.
