Might still use it out of spite after thinking on it, but I'm just exhausted yknow? Site after site crumbling, I've been wanting to do more transgressive stuff, just art is hard since the death of my dad, but my mind is antsy with ideas, which I can't wait to show

Not sure I'll keep using this site anymore due to censorship here, at least to post. Shit is insane. Anyhow! What will you use instead?

I'll be using Furaffinity and Pillowfort, I recommend them heavily! ZJfreak for both

Bluesky's review aggregate on the play store in my region is down to 1.1.

Absolutely bonkers.

Definitely continue sending feedback and yelling about the TOS!

I doubt I rocked anyone's world with my art, but here's my permission you can archive everything (on/offline)

I've brought stuff I always wanted to get with spare money and putting it on USB & printing it out, archiving is more important than ever now. Stand up & protect yourself! #anticensorship

to my beasties who use itchio;

remember to change your contribution to 0% for the site and begin moving your work elsewhere

queer content is being shadow banned even if it’s not nsfw; this site is a sinking ship 😎👍

No, don't apologise. You're exactly right.

In fact, I encourage *EVERYONE* who's experienced abuse at the hands of fandom fascists to QP/reply and tell your stories of the violence you've experienced at their hands over *fiction* and *pixels*.

And call them what they are: anti-queer fascists.

Apologies for kind of just tossing this vent on your post but GOD, I'm relating hard. I wish I could get justice. I wish we ALL could get justice. This wasn't just "shipping drama" or whatever people want to label it, it was fascist-lite violence.

NSFW artists have done more for your online spaces than businessmen have or ever will. Support them, rally to them, but most importantly, remember to offer ongoing support where possible.

Pay someone to draw weird art for you today. Don’t wait. Grab a friend and get some weird art together.

keeping tarantulas has taught me a lot about the natural world! for example, i now know that an enormous amount of spiders will start a project and then abandon it halfway through. they are just like me fr

I work in a call center of an unrelated field to payment processors, but everything mentioned in this thread is 100% - it is theoretically very easy to make disrupting waves large enough to get these companies' higher up attention.

Please read thread, and go forth empowered.

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵

'being positive' should include standing up for your rights too! It's scary times out there, not sure what will happen. I wish you the best 💙

Good... I can still see NSFW marked posts here, Twitter I had to change regions (I only lurk there), you can do that under settings > account information > region. Change to a nonEU country

This is happening terrifyingly fast and I'm worried... This doesn't feel safe at all

If the UK age verification rolls out for residents outside of UK, I'm not eager to stay around here. I love my ID not being in digital data bases thank you very much

I already barely trust my government to handle that shit properly, let alone social media. Data breaches would be even worse then!

listen if you see the news wrt Steam's updated content policy and want to start SOMEWHERE to make a difference and put some pressure on Visa/Mastercard, there are worse places to start than here.

sign the petition, spread it around, get other folks to sign

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.
action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

genuinely don’t like to be open about being an “artist” with people who don’t know me because they usually ask what i create, or try to talk to me about fine art and famous painters whom i know nothing about etc.

i can’t simply explain that i just.. draw erotica of cartoon characters.
