Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

As age verification laws proliferate around the world, people have predictably turned to VPNs to protect their privacy. Instead of taking this as a sign that surveillance isn't popular, lawmakers have decided they might as well ban VPNs altogether. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

If you need some quick and simple ways to help make an impact, click the link below and fill out a petition or few! And contact your reps! Theres some urgent need for action in Massachusetts in particular, check the link!

Maybe at some point we’ll talk about how the same politicians that ruined sex workers’ lives with SESTA-FOSTA and conflated consensual work with trafficking, had brazen dealings with a goddamn pedophile ring for decades. Or not

Unfinished piece I did a little bit ago! I've been pretty busy as of late, so I haven't been able to really draw much! But it's good to know I still gots it!

I'll give you a US example:. The main age-verification lobbyist — a man who largely believes porn should be outlawed — admitted the state-level bills he pushed for won't work and were really a predicate for federal action. He wants the DOJ to seize domains.

Politically it's easier to pass the less onerous restrictions, the ones that just seem like common sense — "like flashing your ID at a liquor store!" The government builds a moral panic, then promises its easily solvable. That panic, once taken hold, now provides cover for bolder restrictions.

frankly no matter how your senator voted, you should call them up and express how fucking angry you are about how they handled the shutdown vote last night

now that the govt shutdown is over, y'all will need to really yell and scream about these bills because many of them are going to be pushed again. tell your representatives to OPPOSE these shitty policies! www.congress.gov/members/find...

I called my US senators and yelled at them, and advocated for deposing Chuck Schumer and i strongly suggest y'all do too

If i can manage to get an amount i can repair it today n get it to running 8)! 🙏🏻🧡

I hate this ugly old world But I won't let it kill me

Time to hop on bsky.app/profile/dies...

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

"Nostalgia is the only reason people like old games." Your brain is trapped in a worldview that the capitalism-fueled art machine & culture around it (perhaps society even) is always on an upward trend and you need to break free.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

Make sure you contact your reps and demand they not cave! www.congress.gov/members/find...

I also feel like people never acknowledge enough how LITTLE money is being made in comics. I don't know a single person making a liveable wage from comics. Not one.

zohran was polling in single digits just earlier this year, and now has gotten the most votes for a nyc mayor candidate since 1969. let this show you that we can win. it will take work but we can win. this doesn't have to be the only good day of the rest of our lives. things can be better, and will

What I really want everyone, not just folks in New York, but EVERYONE to come away with from this, is that ANY of these motherfuckers can be challenged. Their stance in the status quo is THAT flimsy, and their grip is fucking FRAGILE. We CAN change this shit, dude

PLEASE VOTE [for mamdani] IF YOU ARE ABLE TO do not assume its in the bag!

I'm happy I can still mostly sustain myself on commissions but I wanna create things too, bro Everyone who got into their respective industries wanted to create something Hardly anyone ever endeavored to be a xerox machine

The privacy issue with KOSA "resonating with a large swath of people"-- that's you, that was you calling your reps. Don't let anyone tell you it's pointless Let's do it again for the censorship bills in this new package

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

i ❤️ cute gay guys

#SaveSpeech We need folks to hammer paypros, as the holiday season is a prime opportunity to clog up their call centers and have our impact be felt the hardest. Need contacts, talking points, etc? use the site linked! It has a ton of info that is still relevant and useful!

YOU, the one drawing that girl! Draw her girthier, NOW

Maryland folks, don’t become complacent with KOSA: one of our senators has newly signed on to this dangerous legislation. Use the link below to give him a piece of your mind

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social PLEASE do not support this bill! I know you probably think that this is a good thing, but given the current administration's all-out attack on trans people, this bill can and will be weaponized against LGBTQIA+people, and will still leave kids vulnerable.

Confessionals for the Constellites get a little silly (and steamy) #OCs | #TheDevoted #Constellites #SisterColumba

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

Things are quiet for now but I got feeling it won't be long before we start seeing another wave a mass censorship and restrictions, not only on nsfw content but art and media overall. Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep awareness up! Let's do what we can to protect our right to create freely!

As always, do what you can. Bitching goes a long way. WAAAAAY further than what your legislators would like you to think. The worst thing you can do to them is make a stink, take up their time and make them waste their money. The rest comes naturally

This is relevant again. Good pets, roll out! www.stopkosa.com

Please contact your representatives about KOSA! Phone calls, emails, letters, whatever option works best for you! But choose what works best and send a LOT of them until this legislation is put down!

If youre in Ohio, this is a good thing to contact your state reps about! Explain how awful age verification is as a policy!

Rent control is really fucking important and this moron keeos fucking mulching it! Please act on this if you live in Ontario!

#savespeech hey reminder that this canadian petition targetting paypro discrimination is closing for signature TOMORROW if youre canadian, now is your last chance to get your signature in! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

#savespeech #fightchatcontrol #KOSA gonna need all hamds on deck for this. That said, no matter what happens, do not panic. Shit is rough rn but we have to stick together and fight back, whether to stop the signature or demand stronger human rights protections. Call your reps now.

They really deserve all the credit for getting this one right. Remember folks: Censorship on one genre is censorship on ALL genres.

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Support your local, human, erotica creators. You need chatgpt to suck your e-dick for you? You absolutely fucking LOSER
