If youre in the UK and havent signed this petition, please do despite their response here. At 100k sigs they have to discuss it again

Petitions arent a silver bullet on their own, but they help communicate how many people do/dont support something. Its low commitment and worth doing!

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.

Looks like you caught me with my socks off on #footfetishfriday and tied me up as punishment for teasing >.< What will you do now that my soles are at your disposal? #feetsky #footfetish #bondage #boyfeet #toetie

Photo of my bare soles, camera's situated around my butt looking towards my legs and feet. I'm in a hogtie and my big toes are tied together as well.

Similar to last pic, but now it's a close up shot of my tied soles.

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

It seems that no matter what happens, you'll always end up at these feet of mine again 🤭 Go on then, indulge yourself. Give into your desires 😏 #footfetishfriday #feetsky #footfetish #boyfeet #malefeet

Photograph of my bare soles, I am lying on the sofa face down, I am wearing blue jeans. Both feet are lying parallel to eachother, with lots of wrinkles visible.

Same as before, but instead of holding my feet parallel, I am now slightly crossing my right foot over my left foot.

you need to stop giving into to doomer impulses.

these are fights we can win. We've won some of them BEFORE, with LESS public outcry (tho do not let that engender passivity!)

quite a few of these dogshit bills have failed before! we can change the future!

Suzanne ✨🌑 @tendermiasma.com · 9d

"My reps are all conservative and do what they want anyway so I can't call about KOSA"

This bill has died multiple times before and it's because people told their reps they don't like it, especially the red ones

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
 Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.
 If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany.

If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

The vote on Chat Control is in October, I believe, and there's only 7 countries opposed. But there's a whole lot more that are undecided since this all started.

I know it's felt a lot like 1 step forwards, 2 steps back. But keep calling and mailing, please!

Nothing too fancy today, just my favorite pose #feet #feetsky #footfetish #boyfeet

Photograph, shot over the shoulder while I'm lying bellyside down on the sofa, my lower legs lifted up into the air. I'm barefoot and my soles are visible, I am wearing a dark grey shirt and blue long jeans.

Same as before, but with my soles scrunched.

Same pose as before, but this time it's a closeup of my bare soles, which are slightly scrunched with some wrinkles showing.

Same as before, but now my feet aren't scrunched, making them appear smoother, and the right foot is half-hidden behind the left foot.
