Another company (this time one focusing on releasing official translations of BL) having to shut down digital distributions because of paypro nonsense.

We really need another wave of angry calls to these paypros because they continue to keep getting bolder with their censorship.

Trigun Stampede fanart by koitonobori. Livio offers a sugar cookie to Nicholas. They're both blushing, and seated on the ground, all snuggled up close. Two toma chicks are nearby: one napping next to Nicholas' knee, and the other pecking at the ground next to Livio for any stray cookie crumbs.

THANK YOU it was an absolute must!!!!! its fully poseable and very fun (held together by two wires, horsehair braid, and a dream)

im excited to share the casual shoot photos we had to show off more of the hachimaki because im really proud of it 🥹🥹

photo of kazuma and ryunosuke cosplayers in the artist alley, where the kazuma is on his knees pretending to propose to ryunosuke with a gacha ring that says “objection!” on ryunosuke’s pointer finger. kazuma’s hachimaki is in a heart shape and the ryunosuke’s hand is over his mouth in mock surprise

photo of prototype hachimaki for kazuma, where the hachimaki is posed vertically, bent and twisted to show off its zero gravity poseability

mirror selfie of cent trying on the hachimaki with the wig, the hachimaki is posed in a heart shape and is held up in order to display the hachimaki’s poseability. cent is making a finger heart and a silly kissy face for the photo

SWOP Behind Bars @swopbehindbars.bsky.social · Aug 26

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art.

It's never just about pornographic films.

SWOP Behind Bars @swopbehindbars.bsky.social · Aug 14

Glad to see the pushback on payment processors regarding games. But remember, the fight is far from over. There is still an effort to criminalize porn, and hopefully we all know by now that porn can mean anything from OF to books to games to magazine covers.

Republican bill would ban all porn in the US

Republicans have reintroduced a bill which aims to ban porn in its entirety across the US, causing immense concern among adult creators.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

💯No exaggeration this is HANDS DOWN, the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST talk/video/coverage of the censorship issue I HAVE EVER SEEN. 5 minutes in I knew it was going to be amazing, and EVERY point she made had me going 'YES, THIS EXACTLY!' Please watch this, share it everywhere, & send it to everyone you know

yea so... i like wayama yama's work (has been thinking about karafami for a month straight)

Two men in a loose half-hug. A younger boy with glasses (Satomi) is being cradled in a taller man's (Kyouji) right arm. Satomi is biting into Kyouji's arm while holding onto it with both hands. There is a tattoo where he is biting, and he looks upset and angry. Kyouji's back is to the viewer so his expression isn't visible, but he has gently put his hand on Satomi's head.

The same two men (Satomi and Kyouji). Kyouji has Satomi pinned to the floor, bowed over him. His face isn't visible. Satomi looks surprised but unafraid. Their hands are in a loose hold, but Kyouji's stance as well as his hands imply some tension.

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

and so the true enemy (GOSRN) is revealed

(THREAD: x.com/eternowllie/...)

“I really wish people would acknowledge the existence of and talk about the Global Online Safety Regulators Network (GOSRN) before it's too late. They thrive in the dark, but their existence impacts everyone. They're Collective Shout on steroids.”
-Owllie (@eternowllie) (1/2)

(tl;dr - the reason why censorship groups like Collective Shout have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by the GOSRN)

“Five seconds of research:

Collective Shout has connections to Australia's eSafety Commissioner.

eSafety Commissioner is a member of GOSRN.

I beg you all to pay attention to this.”

This bill is a true nightmare - ICE given endless resources to kidnap and imprison, guts Medicaid, thousands of deaths, destroys green energy - call your senator right now and tell them you do not want this bill, ESPECIALLY if they’re a Republican.

Trump's Tax Scam is a disaster.

btw, if you’re wondering if you should call your congressperson & tell them bombing iran is a *bad* idea & impeachment is a *good* idea, the answer’s already yes, but the 75 dems who hate brown people/muslims enough to have voted for HR488 probably really need to hear it.
