Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

What can you do to #savespeech?

- Call your MEPs. Every time they introduce any UKOSA law or Digital ID/ID AV law, tell them "NO" loudly and often: www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
- Continue #fightchatcontrol and follow them for updates: fightchatcontrol.eu

- Suggest other, more positive legislation, such as curbing paypro censorship: stop-paypros.neocities.org
- Protest physically if they continue to push these bad bills.

This is a Marathon. It may seem daunting or taxing, but together? We can #savespeech and stop the Puritain Regime in its tracks.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can

If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

Notice to anyone using Linktree (especially if you're paying for it), you should probably stop.

The paid features just went from $10 to $16 a month. That's more than some phone plans and streaming services. For a page. With some links on it.

Why? So they could add more AI features we didn't want.

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

I’m also a night owl and tend to draw at night and it turns out my cat is also one too and she sleeps during the day until evening

Unless if I have to change my schedule and become a full fledged day time artist 😅which is something I’m not used to lol…

Miji 🔞· ʀᴇɴᴍᴇɪ ʙʀᴀɪɴʀᴏᴛ ᴇʀᴀ @mijikaaitan.bsky.social · 1d

I’m still curious wanting to know how artists that are cat owners are still able to keep a good balance while pumping out so many art

Like I be knowing some artists that will post cat pics and they also drop banger fanart left and right like how do yall do it…

If anyone here reads this at all and is a cat owner, how do yall deal with the nastiest smell on earth after they do their business. I used air freshener when she’s not active and asleep but I know it’s toxic for her

Which cat toys should I go for so she won’t possibly get the zoomies

Any answer

I don’t hate cats btw lol

I know what I was getting into when I had to take care of a live living creature

There may be cons but I’m not giving up on her so easily

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.

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.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

I wonder how artists with cats can still manage a balanced lifestyle and can still draw while managing them
