I see this a lot in online discourse about adult material or material dealing with dark topics. "But you wouldn't want a kid to read that, would you?" "What if a teenager sees the porn you drew?" "You want to help keep kids safe online, right?"

I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding in 1/??

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people.

If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives.

Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

I’d appreciate if you all used this form to ask for the things we asked for in the open letter regarding Palestinians on here

We believe Bluesky owes Gazans, and the entire community who benefits from their voices, a greater duty of care especially in the context of the horrors they are enduring. We ask Bluesky to implement the following changes:
• Provide information on all Bluesky-affiliated websites in Arabic that explains the rules and expectations of the site in clear language.
• Investigate the accounts that are mass-reporting Palestinians on Bluesky. The mass reporting of Palestinians on Bluesky is a group effort to render the platform a hostile place for a community based on their ethnicity. As such, it is racism, and should be understood as such. Reports against Palestinians who have broken no community guidelines must be understood as racism, and the accounts that submit those reports should be disregarded in the future.
• Many Bluesky users encourage Gazans to tag or reply to them, and this is not always understood as unwelcome behavior. If an account is reported as Spam for tagging or replying to others, treat only reports from the tagged/mentioned account as legitimate, seeing as they were the only ones who received a notification.
• Send emails regarding disciplinary action every time it is taken. Gazans do not always get an email explaining what they did wrong, and those that do are required to parse a language they do not speak in order to understand their violation. Have these emails contain an easily visible link to information about their violations in Arabic.
• Respond to appeals in a timely fashion, many Gazans simply never hear back from Bluesky after they appeal a decision.
• In addition to removing Gazans for alleged spam behavior, Bluesky has also sometimes indicated that they are deleting an account for being a scam or acting in a fraudulent manner. If Bluesky is removing someone for an alleged fraud or scam violation, evidence of how they have done this needs to be provided to the user. Many Gazans have been suspended on these grounds with absolutely no justifica…

• End IP bans on any account from Gaza and allow them to make new accounts where they can comply with Bluesky rules and continue to be valued members of the community.

Fight for the Future has a petition set up that to urge Visa and Mastercard to stop censoring games, as well as urge lawmakers to step in against their overreach

Petitions cannot materially do much, but theyre great for communicating raw numbers. Its worth the 60 seconds itll take to sign it.

Don’t Let MasterCard and Visa Censor Games

Ok EU folks? You gotta do your own version of contacting your reps, or whatever equivalent, and yelling at them about this

Ash McAllan @acegiak.bsky.social · Aug 12

So now that Denmark holds the EU presidency, theyre pushing Chat Control back onto the European Parliament again. That means breaking encryption & automatically scanning & flagging all private communications online.

EU fam, contact your reps:
fightchatcontrol.eu

The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025

Chat Control is back on the lawmakers' table

They did go on a speech about how AI should be embraced and used to help projects with more tedious tasks.

But I think having an entire "porfolio" and showing it with pride of generated art kinda goes against that statement.

I do agree.
I have a teacher that litteraly showed us their entire porfolio of AI art saying how good of an artist they were
