Rotober 7: Ghost Train. They manifest in different ways, but this train is a physical one inhabited by the souls that were bound to it.

Shield Hero vs Release That Witch

she looms!

Immediately signed

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Keep in mind this is a marathon AND a relay. Not a sprint. There are days you can ALLOW YOURSELF a break. Having this be on your mind 24/7 is UNHEALTHY. Section a certain amount of time you put towards this. Even if it's just 15 minutes or less. You are human. Don't burn yourself out/get sick.

The cat is sending me off to bed

SUSHI BEN IS OUT NOW! 🎉🎉🎉 I've been working on this since 2016 yay! My team has been working on this since 2021 yay! Plz try it out, its cheaper than toro nigiri tysm im so sleepy going to bed now.

I on the other hand without reading the post itself assumed the image was from a Tokusatsu, just because it was a live action still with subtitles.

NSFW game creators should not have to be treated like dirt. Never stop shutting up about this issue toward these payment processors or state rep.

Support the artists you like now because tomorrow you might not be able to find them.

Thank u Doré potato 💛

Germany has joined the opposing nations! Thats 8 total now! The preliminary vote is being done TOMORROW sept 12th. The main vote is on october 18th, but everyone in the EU should especially yell at their representatives TODAY to see if we can secure any last minute opposition before prelim!

Oh shit its almost 10.5k! Yall are doing amazing! We have to keep pumping these numbers!

As the tumblr yapper on YouTube, it is mandatory I share mine

Sometimes you gotta squish something

Seras Victoria Comm, thanks for the support!

IT'S TRIGGER TIME! #ZZZERO #ANIME #HAYSEYDRAWS

I see this reducing in reposts - this situation never went away. You may have seen a lot of people posting about it and some inroads made and thought " yeah things will turn out alright" Unfortunately no. we actually do have to keep holding their feet to the fire until they deliver.

If you want a place to start fighting back vs Visa and Mastercard and you live in these regions? Heres a great thing you can do to get your activism start Live elsewhere? Look into whether your govt has any similar petitions, or what you can do to start one yourself

This fight is winnable. The extreme backlash from companies like Paypal is wild, but it's also them overplaying their hand, and it's proof that they are genuinely mad at us. They know how we're protesting, and they hate it. That makes it a good protest. So if they ramp up the pressure, we do to.

don't look at these events as being hopeless or just sigh at them. the people forcing these waves of censorship on us want you to give up and roll over. don't. make noise about it. make phone calls. be the annoying Karen you've always wanted to be

Don't give in to hopelessness. Remember they banned alcohol in the states because a bunch of busy body religious types threw a fit too. Don't let them win.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Time to mobilize on this one.

Again, STRIPE has always been this way! They did it to me in 2022 when i wasn't even drawing NSFW stuff, they are coming for everyone. DO NOT STOP CALLING! SCREAM AT THEM! THIS IS NOT OK!

Since MB doesn't seem active on here and it's worth seeing a crosspost

TLDR; it's in our best interest to keep up the pressure on these companies and be as VOCALLY and VISUALLY annoying as possible. The goal for average joes like you and me at this juncture is BRAND DAMAGE. Stay loud, stay annoying, connect their effect on free expression with their brand

Alfred Ashford did nothing wrong

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!

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

Stripe says it’s accepting payments for LGBTQ content JVA site starts working with Visa again Mastercard reportedly panicking and making Riot moderate messages The tide is turning We are going to win this Keep calling Keep writing Keep fighting You can do this

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW. Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded And KEEP CALLING

I'm just putting this out here. Don't be afraid to ask any kink/NSFW artists if they can do SFW commissions. You'd be surprised to find some who don't mind drawing SFW stuff, especially when they have a really cute art style you like.

“This bill won’t pass” “This won’t affect me outside the U.S.” This is ignorant. These things trickle down. Go educate yourself on censorship. SESTA/FOSTA. KOSA. Age verification in US/UK/Australia. Tumblr bans. Backpage. Visa/Mastercard. ITCHIO. Patreon. This isn’t the first canary…

Hey btw about my commission posts!!! I currently have zero slots, I am fully open, and I do need work I am open for any kind of work, NSFW and fetish included, the funds go to things like feeding me and buying myself soap and shit LMFAO ✌️

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement. The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

Alright, I heard yall LOUD and clear on the merch feedback form, and super excited to be bringing yall some BRAND NEW Mari items. 1 new print and several new other items coming to a convention near you~

my bluesky experience in a nutshell. didn’t expect the switch to amount to much, honestly, but now it’s my main app of choice; with genuine, kind people i’m happy to call friends.

INVOICES!! USE, INVOICES!!

Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet. Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions. The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.

If you dont know where to start, here's a place to start bsky.app/profile/dies...

*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?" Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech
