The listing for these “stealth mode” dots does not mince words about what they're designed to do: “Block or dim that bright white recording light with these precision-cut vinyl dots.”

I think a lot sometimes about the fact that I transitioned into a lesbian sisterhood that still remembered fighting cops and nazis irl with leather daddies and dykes and a lot of the discourse just in 2017-2020 was from suburbanites who saw those gays as the enemy

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

if you don't do this then capitalism will entirely take control of the direction and intensity of your desire for you. watch out. the algorithms already are within us all

people love to talk about sexuality like it's alien to their being. "those outsiders made me gay" "i'm homosexual strictly because of my genes and i wouldn't want it otherwise" babes abandon the british imperial hangover that abdicates responsibility from self & embrace desire as a positive force
"I feel pressured to transition by a shadowy force" babe that's you. let her out
"feminine cis men dont have to be trans and yet they are being pushed to be by a Shadowy Force" is just the latest 2020s iteration of the psychoanalytical castration anxiety that drives all crises of masculinity in modernity (now in response to transness gaining public presence)

Keep up the pressure on MasterCard and Visa! Do NOT give up the fight until they stop thinking they can be our moral authority! Keep calling! Push buttons until you speak to a live person. Be polite. Do not discuss politics. Follow this script!

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

attention!

did you make an itch.io game that was caught up in the deletion/delisting spree despite not having adult content? simply for the crime of being queer or furry?

i wanna hear from you and see the game in question. planning something for august aqualounge

It’s time for our own collective shout. Who are you calling?

Remember: Stress you’re a repeat caller on this issue and that you heard about this controversy on the news. With Visa, ask for a supervisor once you hit a dead end. Calls should always last longer than 30 seconds

The point of calling credit card companies isn't to make John Visa have moment of introspection and go "aw shucks I was wrong!" it's to grind business to a halt for such an extended period of time that all the higher ups who are real people with names and addresses decide that this isn't worth it

i need people to understand that not all disabled people can drive, afford cars, or have a person to drive them around.

"robot wanting to be a human" trope is still pretty safe to me mostly because all of these large language models being called "AI" is a marketing trick for hype moments and aura oriented towards more useless tech capital accumulation

The experience of being queer in indie games is you can build a little space, you can spend years building it, you can make an entire thriving community there, and it can be wiped away into nothing because one person somewhere shrugged one day and was like "eh… no more queers"
so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

the recent crackdown by credit card companies re: processing on sites is so genuinely puritanical and fascist, and deeply indicative of the era we're entering into. sex positivity is dying, trad loins are the new and expected norm. they'll treat us fags accordingly.
The rise of anti-NSFW is concerning and I wish more vanilla people gave any amount of a shit at all. I don't speak on it much but I am very, very worried.

The people doing this also know this never does a damn thing to make things "safer" for kids. It hurts everyone & helps no one. Ghoulish fucks.

CC companies are choking queer art out, simple as
Something I didn’t speak to at the time, but should now — it’s not like itchio or Steam have a choice

If they don’t comply with payment processor requests, they lose access to the payment processor. Without the payment processor, the platform falls apart. It ceases to exist. They’re being bullied
