to non Brazilians: this is what I try to articulate when I say you shouldn't just compare the prices of stuff on a vacuum, you also need to consider how much people are earning it is really hard being a Nintendo fan in Brazil for a reason

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

Never sign up for a protest and don't bring your phone

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

What do you mean I have to use social media in order for me to have a presence on it

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Last year, 37 Democrats allowed the NDAA to go through with an anti-transgender provision. They blocked a vote in the senate to remove that provision. www.erininthemorning.com/p/37-democra...

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

And when they declare trans people mentally ill the next step will be to broaden it to queer people at large b/c since when have differences between ppl in any marginalized community ever existed for evil people. Again: cis queers of all colors have to repudiate this. None of us are exceptions.

removing the headphone jack is the worst shit to ever happen to people who take public transit because now everybody watches shit on their phone with the volume up in public

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

No seriously have you signed yet? It's already sponsored by a member of the house. If it gets enough you will be able to see this issue debated on tv. This is the easiest way to make the biggest change yet.

Oh HELL yes

Oh, I have good news.

Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.

Dragonair + Dratini (crop of a bigger illustration over on my patreon)

If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

Wow this is amazing. They're putting $5 million into canceling medical debt for families. And for every million the movie makes at the box office, another million in medical debt will get paid off!

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES INCLUDING TRANS USERS MADE YOUR APP A SUCCESS YOU ARE SILENCING VOICES THAT HELPED YOUR APP GROW

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

This is such an important thing to hold onto. As the media and politicians try to go OH THESE TRANS PEOPLE ARE A PLAGUE AND/OR THERE ARE SO FEW OF THEM THEY DON'T MATTER There are nearly 3 million of us in the US alone. 3 *million*. That's almost the population of the entire state of Nevada.

SPEAK UP!!! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FRICKIN SOCIAL TO NUKE NSFW CONTENT ONCE THEY GOT ENOUGH USERS! CENSORSHIP ALWAYS LEAD TO BANNING QUEER, BPOC, DISABLED PPL IMPORTANT CONTENT NEXT!

Remember when I said JK Rowling spends twenty cents of each dollar you give her harming trans people? Based on the size of the anti-trans legal fund she started, its more like $0.95 per dollar

This bill is so vague about what is obscene that even making sex in your house with your partner could be considered a crime . And I thought that my politicians were dumb. If you are american, please put IODA on the list together with SCREEN and KOSA and contact your reps to say no to this bs.
