Nobody has pointed it out or anything, but my sketches are messy, I move stuff around, and fragments of lines are leftover and probably seem random. A more patient artist would go back and clean all these up, but since I don’t, I’m sure it looks “suspicious” sometimes 🫠

If you're a member of a creator's Patreon or a creator yourself, let's email Patreon and ask them if they'll explore processor options beyond PayPal and Stripe. We want to restore our creative freedom.
Paypal and Stripe hit Patreon with strict nsfw regulations a few years ago. It's the same thing that's happening with Steam and itch and if itch can seek new processors that are more nsfw-friendly, I think Patreon should too to support its creators

This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene.

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA).
remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

made my calls today including an obvious one I hadn’t tried yet:
the Customer Inquiries number on the back of my TD Canada Visa card
They were very kind & polite. Apparently this was the first the supervisor had heard about it.
Have a card with the number on the back? Call it too!!

Ok, story time:
We had a credit card processor called TSYS for years, like from when I took over the pharmacy and beyond when the previous owner had the pharmacy. No issues, we’d have a ton of credit/debit sales and it’s a pharmacy. Legit business much like video games, doctors’ offices, or Walmart🧵

Demand every processor tell you when they launched an investigation into steam, itch, patreon, and what illegal content they found. When they say it's because theyre "high risk", ask them why they're discriminating against protected groups. Repeat. They're blaming each other because they're scared.
Visa too is doing the "increased risk of illegal activity" thing, so this also works for them! WHAT illegal activity did they fear, and exactly how does banning all adult content do anything to "safeguard" against this illegal activity?

Can confirm this works, the rep was kept insisting "there was adult content," I kept repeating "but the statement form mastercard says 'illegal,' adult content is not illegal," and I got him to agree that yes, he has seen no evidence any illegal transactions happened.
So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal".
They won't because there was never an investigation
They won't because there was never an investigation
This is a pathetic statement and I’m begging every journalist to rip it to shreds
