Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Good to know from a (former) Nintendo lawyer that fan-art is reason to mobilze the troops at a moment's notice, but a fascist regeime using directly stolen Pokemon assets to recruit for the nu-Gestapo is something the company would (likely) let slide.

My decision to not buy Nintendo, validated.

The Pokémon Company's former chief legal officer has said he would not take action over an official Department of Homeland Security video that features footage of people being handcuffed and arrested set to the Pokémon theme tune — despite calls from fans for the corporation to sue.

Cool, my art will get even less visibility than usual, I won't make any money from commissions, and my bank account will shrink. All while giving bsky exactly what it wants: No resistance. Great idea. Anyway, please support me so I can survive.

the thing about this coverage is that, while it's bad that charlie kirk was murdered, it is good that he's dead. and the number of people who agree with me on that (or disagree, but only with the first half) scares the living shit out of the rest of them

You are an adult. You can handle seeing boobs on the Internet and if you can’t then unfollow the people who post them.

Yeah, holy shit.

I just checked, mine and @shaxbert.bsky.social 's comments calling them out- which have 2.6k and 1.6k likes respectively, are just fucking GONE. Can't even find them by scrolling down anymore, they straight up 'hid' them.

Fucking cowards.

A blackout will be seen as stepping down. Taking this as they give it.

Do. Not. Be. Silent.

Even before I started doing the work I do, I was always a supporter and advocate for NSFW content and its creators.

Do not take this lying down, do not do a blackout as it will be seen as rolling over.
I may be a SFW creator, simply because I just want to have a family friendly space for all ages to enjoy--and I prefer to keep that side of me separate from work.

But I do stand with NSFW artist and creators. Blackouts don't do shit.

The last thing people should do is be silent.

Bluesky's TOS says that only they can define when a fictional drawing shows consent.

This assumption is clearly wrong and misguided and needs to be repealed immediately.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

super interesting that bsky has suspended the accounts of two prominent trans women this week, both of whom were critical of known transphobes and used fairly tame language.

it's probably nothing.

I think describing to Woolie how you have to eat all your sides on your plate before you get to your steak because it's the good part only to end up not finishing it because it's kind of cold really summed up the situation. Actually now that I think of it I wonder if this attitude started with food

honestly given some of the stuff you’ve talked about wrt the beelining thing this isn’t surprising or contradictory imo. you burn yourself out on them BECAUSE you like them and want to take in everything they have to offer.

This was always the goal of bathroom bans, to fully push trans people from any semblance of public life, and it won't end there either, the "gender critical" project is currently trying to exert pressure over businesses that hire trans people in the UK, so that trans people are unemployable...
This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!
