If this moved you in any way, please call your reps and demand they reject the KOSA and SCREEN Acts plus the other bills bundled into the Online Safety package! It's going to make it exponentially harder for sex workers and nsfw artists like myself to earn a living.

Now it's 072 Project facing payment processor issues

"Our international credit card payment gateway on the 072 Project Official Website is currently temporarily unavailable. Due to the complex nature of this issue, the resolution time is expected to be longer than usual."

if nothing changes by next summer, this is the last chance for our community to push back. The big ask is not spending $2000 to go to Vegas to play video games once. I'm not expecting much but it at least feels possible because the requirement for protest is simply not doing jack shit

nah payment processors having the ability to just destroy whatever website, project, org, etc for whatever reason is absolutely bullshit and shows they have too much fucking power.

Process the fucking payment, payment processor and fuck off.

There’s a larger thread to discuss regarding the ways international borders are breaking down a bit on internet content. An American financial institution bullying Japanese companies, a UK law forcing age verification measures globally, a German law dictating how a U.S. site operates, etc.
So this is fucked.. Cloudflare is going after Gelbooru using German laws to enforce content restrictions on a server in the United States. I don't know about you, but this is fucked.

Decriminalization of sex work does not equal Decriminalization of sex trafficking.

That's like arguing that legalization of Marijuana also makes it legal to coerce someone into smuggling drugs.

Trafficking is trafficking

Sex work is sex work.

Everyone in Chicago needs to read this AND TAKE ACTION. Everyone else should read this and ask what's happening where you are with your public library systems.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

PSA: there's a known scammer in the dm's asking you to sign up with "MyTipMe" - they have rebranded from "GoWishMe" & ran by the same guy who did "FanSupport". They will not support sex workers, they have previous on disappearing with creators money & doxxing.

It seems the Commissioner is seemingly supporting Parliament now? Which hopefully means we'll have a bigger chance of Chat Control being struck down altogether?

Read the update in full here: www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-chat-c...

Still, keep yelling at your reps: fightchatcontrol.eu

They blocked me on my original post calling out their deceptive practices, so I wanted to create a proper one for you!

Even if you don't create or consume NSFW content, it's still important to tell your reps and paypros to stop attacking it. Eventually they will come after things you do create or consume.
please keep calling your representatives and demanding they oppose censorship/surveillance/Age-verification legislation.

please continue to call Paypros and demand they stop discriminating against adult content, its creators, and sex workers

please

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic
I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube

Trilogue Chat Control negotiations start tomorrow until about April 2026

I have gotten an answer from my reps that they'll do what they can to convince the Parliament not to go along with Chat Control.

Might be empty words, but it's something. Keep calling/mailing: fightchatcontrol.eu

One of the problem with the sentiments of going underground is like, yeah some people might but most people wont. Most of the people you follow online who create the NSFW content you enjoy, be it drawing or writing or photography, are barely getting by as it is if they do it full time.
"porn's going back underground"
"we're going back to cash"
"we're going to crypto"
"we're gonna mail print only"

how about instead of saying funny shit online you call your reps and speak up for us so we don't have to do this

so much of people's "solutions" to the crackdowns on porn online is for artists and sex workers to do exponentially more work so that their viewers can keep accessing their art with minimal disruption, even as it becomes more and more difficult to sustain oneself.

The least you can do is yell. It is the least you can do. Remember everyone who came before you and is alive right now who is forced to do more. It is a privilege to get to call and mail. Take every chance to do it.
