Still stalled at $130/$400 and now smaller bills are pilling up. Only $270 needed to clear, something that definitely be met today with intentional care and funds.

P-pal @/shockofthequeen, pls send $ or share/boost if you cannot!

This season of @woebegonepod.bsky.social is so painfully frank and absolutely devastating. It's such an uncompromising chronicling of grief and feels like the truest thing I've ever listened to. Goddamn.

The aim of this project is to ensure Filipino artists, who are historically overworked and underpaid (like, $50 a week underpaid) can get paid for their art, which makes up half of this Kickstarter's goal!

The other half is to cover printing and delivery~

Help us hit 20% before the weekend!

And yes: this means people who aren't American too. You should be asking your politicians why American companies have so much power and sway over what you can do with your money and what you can view online!

Also, a lot of countries outside of the USA are trying to do ID laws and other Spyware.

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · 4d

No more people telling me they aren't sure if their voice matters in this fight.

Every politician should be working for you and be willing to listen to your thoughts, no matter how silly they may seem.

Stop worry about your image and start acting now.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

Up On Goblin Hill @upongoblinhill.bsky.social · 4d

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

There's an app! It's just not on the app stores so the site can keep supporting NSFW creators:

Staff: Reminder: Pillowfort has a mobile app now!

It’s been no secret our community has been asking us to make Pillowfort more accessible for mobile device users for years. In fact, the lack of a mobile app is what is one of the top reasons potential...

If you are Italian, consider contacting your national parliament members via fightchatcontrol.eu !

Crypto was the future of money.
NFTs were the future of art.
AI is currently being called the future of everything.
They've yet to get any of this shit right.
It's all marketing. Sunk cost horse apples.
They spent decades collecting our data and now they can't get their money back.

Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation
