I am a strong advocate for Universal Basic Income. I think that money is best spent as an investment in people, up-front, to afford them the freedom to explore their potential and live with dignity. Presently, we treat money as a reward, as Chuck-E-Cheese tickets we get for being Good at Work.

Coming along on my “what if The Amazing Digital Circus were a DnD party?” series. Is the vision for Druid Zooble coming through? I’m having a little trouble with the colours feeling both like Zooble and also Druidy

We absolutely cannot give up on calling these fucking companies and telling them their policies are fucking stupid.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

Sylvie's back home after three years for her grandpa's funeral. She's never gotten along with her sister Etna, but is surprised to find out how nice her wife is, and she's a fantastic cook. Snippet from Part 1, Chapter 4 of ✨FABLES OF THE FIDDLEFEN CLAN✨ #WritingPrompt #transwriters #queerwriters

Art Train!!! 🚂✨✨ Show your OC's Current design vs their first design OG design is by dakurty. Along her story we decided Sylvie's scarf was given to her by a dear friend during her transition, so I wanted to make it a bigger part of her design. It's giving ninja but also baby blanket 😎👍 #art #oc

Autism isn’t a disease to be cured or even eradicated. It’s a neurotype that results in many of the most beautiful and creative brains to have existed. Autists need systemic support to thrive in a world built for allistics, not the blame and shame that make our lives harder than they need to be.

The starterpack is now full! Didn’t get to reply to everyone’s comments but I loved seeing everyone’s OCs 🩷 Please if you see this or if you are in it, it would be greatly appreciated if you can repost to spread the word 🥰 Thanks again everyone who joined 🌸 go.bsky.app/9Dj6m2B

✨MY BABIES✨ I wanted to just shove all my D&D PCs into one picture, so here they are! These are all the characters I've either played the longest, or developed the most story for. I love them all so much. They each hold a little piece of me. 🥰 They're all also mostly trans girls so 😎 #art #oc #trans

Don’t like something? YOU block or mute the tag/words Someone posts without tagging? YOU block or mute the account See @bsky.app , we CAN moderate ourselves! You gave us the tools! We don’t need/want YOUR vague interpretation of nsfw! #blueskycensorship

About censorship on Bluesky: From the moment you decide to create a multi-themed platform based on the content generated by other people, you need to understand that those people are your clients. Without them, you wouldn’t be in the position you are now.

why are people talking about a blackout lmao why would you give them what they want by not posting. be an annoying cockroach and post your nastiest nsfw on that day instead imho.

Incidentally after voicing my displeasure, I was added to a “drama” moderation list by someone the CEO is following, just feels kiiinda’ weird. 😅

Boston Globe: "Israel kills 34 people in Gaza ahead of UN meeting, where countries will recognize Palestinian state." While leaders talk, the Gazans are under relentless attack. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem, so she can feed her children and escape, and to others. ❤️ 🙏 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

Made a new version of this Art Meme! You can us this as much as you like, no credit needed! #nsfw #freespeech #iconsent #pornisnotacrime

Be loud. Complain. Silence or blackout isn't an answer to censorship. Stay quiet when they want to mute you ? That's called compliance. Support NSFW artists, share their voices, add yours to theirs. Draw, share, be more active than ever. I know time's hard but that's when we need to shout the most.

You are ACTIVELY suppressing replies critical of your new ToS updates, so I cannot trust ANY of these promises anymore. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, ca- uh, can’t get fooled again.

Survivors are stronger than you think. We’ve experienced something extremely traumatic that often fundamentally changes a person forever, and we lived to tell the tale. I frankly find it insulting and condescending that they view me as so frail that I don’t know how to mute words or block people.

I don't draw or consume NSFW content, but I don't think I need to clarify how harmful this kind of censorship can be. It's a slippery slope. I'm also curious how they will decide what is noncon and what isn't 😅 In any case, keep fighting everyone!

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!

Instead of being silent we should be loud by making more NSFW art.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

11 months ago Bsky gave creators independence and users a choice in their experience. Now they have decided to take away our choices and decide for us by capitulating to the Christian conservative whims of advertisers, fascist gov, payment processors...by attacking fictional content. Grow up LMFAO.

I could be wrong since I took my sleeping meds and Im a lil loopy but this sounds like you're saying "thanks to all the artists and SWers who helped build us up to where we are now, so now that we don't think we need you anymore, go fuck yourself." That sound about right?

I can draw anything. I can make characters as abstract or grounded as I please. I can put them in peril or paradise at the flick of a wrist and the wisp of a whim. I can tear them to shreds and they'll be fine because I decide they're fine. Because it's all fake. You are trying to chain daydreams

Trans identity is the literal OPPOSITE of Nihilism, its the EXISTENTIALIST expression that YOU can decide who you are, and what has meaning in the world. Nihilism is the complete ANTITHESIS of that, it is surrender to perceived inevitability. To choose for yourself who you are is to DEFY Nihilism.

i support the right to tell stories with complex and traumatic themes, but corporations cannot be trusted to look at a piece of media & discern its intent because they do not exist to act in good faith. secure the rights to free speech first. it's your right to reject that content, not Mastercard's

Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see. Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

I already said it, but I will say it again - we need better MODERATION tools, not censorship guidelines. Automod is still incorrectly flagging art as explicit content when too much skin is showing or it represents LGBTQ+ community. We should be given more labels to what we post, not this.

putting this on your timeline again

Sorry but I ain't leaving bsky even tho they suck. I'm sick of running away just for another site to pull a post-porn tumblr It's time to chase censorship and paypro prudes outta town

Get your shit together @bsky.app. The world is garbage enough without you adding to the trash pile. We're all disappointed in how pathetically spineless you are. Do. Better. Do better or get ready to watch your website crash and burn as you set fire to the community who built it.

Don’t let a bunch of words stop you from creating what you want to create ✨ I’m not putting all of my eggs in one basket for this, but I really hope bsky listens to the negative feedback surrounding the ToS this time ://

Your ability to piss away goodwill needs to be studied, most of us are here because you WEREN’T twitter, we weren’t looking for Diet Twitter.

I know times with censorship are worrying, but please don't give up by leaving or deleting creations so soon. Keep pushing back and posting your creations, supporting those around you. It'll be hard to implement as is so make it even harder and stand your ground. Support physical work.

womp womp.

I am mad. Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here. You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored. Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here. All of it. SFW. NSFW.

What is the point of having a feature allowing people to flag their posts as sensitive media, if that sensitive media in question is a bannable offense? There's stuff I don't like seeing but those doing their part and properly flagging their posts so I don't see it by accident shouldn't be punished.
