Comment time! Tell the Fed that banks and paypro's shouldn't be in the business of making moralistic decisions on what legal products and services can or can't be sold in financial transactions.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

EXCLUSIVE | Transgender Chili’s manager fired because ‘personal values and lifestyle did not align’ with chain’s, lawsuit says

Individual websites will not save us. Running from platform A to platform B will not work as payment processors and legislation will simply follow our trail You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this. Call your reps

I'm so tired of having to defend porn made by consenting adults for consenting adults when our government is run by literal child predators that are hurting people everyday

just made a comment and you should too! It's quick, easy, and you can remain anonymous!

The U.S. is currently spreading propaganda about Brazil to paint it in a bad light, and its possible the U.S. is planning to potentially strike there. Do not believe any U.S. propaganda about Brazil. All my Brazilian mutuals, stay safe ❤️

When calling your reps and paypros: " Whats the point? Its hopeless" False. The point of your call is being part of many other calls. Your call is one more call they have to talley. You're not going to convince them alone. But they are going to have to face the multitudes of people who

The state of the internet is a bunch of people who are on record as having raped children telling you that artistic expression is immoral.

just a psa to everyone NEVER paste anything into the run window unless you absolutely fucking know what you're pasting in you can use win + v (or paste into notepad) to check whatevers been put into your clipboard

The Substar TOS looks extremely similar to Patreon's now. Call your reps or we will lose everything Tell them to stop the payment processor power grab, tell them to vote no on child online safety bills/ID verification. We need everyone

Re: SubscribeStar banning sexual content with characters that don't have "human-like knee orientation" fsjdkldbh Tried to shitpost and got carried away lol subscribestar.adult/prohibited_c...

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I want every word of this in massive letters of fire in the sky. Thank you, @moryan.bsky.social.

HEY! You want some hope? You gotta actively spread it and make people aware. Payment Processors are using the excuse of their reputation being at risk for denying us our work being financially viable. I need you to comment on this and spread the word about this.

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

The Federal Reserve System (Board) is inviting public comment on new guidelines in regard to debanking of persons & orgs regarding lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk. Comments due by April 27, 2026. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

have signed this important open letter and you should too! www.instagram.com/p/DVbe1zZjstG/

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

It's really hard and really important to take this stance. When visible actors in visible roles take the lead on this and shame companies for these practices they protect smaller and less-seen workers from being taken advantage of ❤️

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

ICYMI: Last week @aoc.bsky.social ripped age verification mandates to shreds at the kids online safety bills markup- accurately summed up what we and other human rights, LGBTQ+ and youth advocacy orgs have been saying for years!

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

The Internet as we know it right now, is very much in danger. The things you are doing here now, in this space, may be locked off from you for no reason. And these big tech companies? They can't WAIT to restrict you. We can't sit by and let out of touch politicians and big companies take this space

Even if incest kinks aren’t your thing and even if you find it disgusting or weird, this is dangerous. They’ve come after strangulation and seem to be coming for more. This isn’t about “safety” it’s about controlling online anonymity and further shaming sexuality. Wishing my friends in the UK luck ❤️

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore. If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Translations because Jack is terminally stupid: " We invested too much money in AI, we're in trouble, and we can't afford to pay the people who can actually do the job" ( Because AI sure as hell isn't doing it)

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world. We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

It's 2026. Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician. Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist. Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

Nostalgia is a weapon. You don’t miss the early 2000s, you miss being a stupid child. You want to be stupid again. You want your parents to take care of you. You are 12.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

The bills passed committee. Spam your reps to reject the full bills. Bills like KOSA are a massive assault on our freedom of speech and privacy. They violate the Constitution.

You wanted healthcare You wanted free lunches for children Affordable housing Livable wages No! You get NOTHING

I saw a video of ex Trump supporters throwing away their maga merch simply because of the gas prices 💀 *gasp*!! So you're saying he didnt do what you woefully sacrificed the lives of millions of minorities for???

My mother asked me to spread this around online, but if you are against the israeli/american aggression that they are subjecting towards Lebanon, here is a gofundme set-up by the Lebanese Popular Aid Association in order to help re-coup and aid medically! Plz share! www.gofundme.com/f/Amis-de-se...

This shit ends the internet as we know it. Literally start stuffing this in everyone's face until it sticks.

USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.

Yesterday, the KIDS Act has Passed the E&C, and soon will be pushing into the house! This is a combination of KOSA, SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and other bills into one package. Contact your Reps, and tell them to OPPOSE these bills! Stay strong, and fight for your rights and privacy!

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say: If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

KOSA is the newest bill set to hurt the online landscape. But what does it mean for you?

If you're wondering how transparent a bill like "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" could be - This isn't about combating child exploitation, this is censoring LGBT expression under the guise of combating child exploitation. Please call and tell your senators/representatives to stop this.
