Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material." So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?" I think it clicked for him then.

yep

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

DO NOT RESIST THE URGE BUY THE CUTE AND SILLY THING

Imagine continuing to treat a beloved game with this much disdain for its fans.

Good morning Bluesky !

lol, sorry guy, but that’s like saying we need more pacifist soldiers or leftist nazis.

So I've been staying with someone every weekend the past few weeks and their cat has abandoned them entirely for me any time I'm around. She also starts trying to find me when she hears my voice on discord.

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word. action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

People desperately need to understand the difference between AI and GenAI

We are casting! We're looking for BIPOC, queer, and disabled VAs, the audition form is linked below. It's a lot of roles to fill, so get your voices in! We look forward to hearing from you! ✨🫧 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Added in to the end of the second paragraph: This will disproportionately affect POC, queer folks, disabled people, and the unhoused.

I don't even know what to say. I'm going to... idk. Today is just gonna not for right now. I'm not surprised, but I am angry and disappointed.

ICE's size is about to explode. If you're white, be ready to interfere at every opportunity.

This was the logical next step, if you’ve been paying attention.

Had a clinician stop by my home today to check in on me and double check everything, and it turns out that I am in like, really good health. Which I kinda knew but didn't really believe I think even though my primary care told me the same thing x.x

He’s holding a trans flag, which is also a thing that absolutely fucking terrifies the Dem establishment, which has been tripping over themselves to throw trans folks under the bus.

I just blocked someone for the take "copyright should expire upon rhe creator's death" because I was going to feel compelled to explain why that's bad, he would then call me an idea landlord if history is anything to go by, and it would ruin both our evenings. So I'll explain it to you, instead.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

WIP This month my patrons voted for Gay Demons

I had a cursed 4 AM thought last night. Circles are both one and two dimensional

Make sure you turn up to the Mass Lobby tomorrow - 1-4pm.

as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

'yeah, iran should come to the negotiating table after getting a surprise bombing. how fucking dare they get bombed by zionists they should do better'

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I know I haven't been SUPER active recently (I blame being overwhelmed with moving and getting my life to settle), but tomorrow, on Juneteenth, for 24 hours, I will say nothing on social media. I spend that day ONLY listening. I suggest other white people consider shutting the fuck up sometimes.

i think it’s not talked about enough that so many christian rightwingers support israel because they want to trigger the end times rapture and they believe supporting israel will ensure this

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

and once again I ask - if not Gestapo, why Gestapo shaped?

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

'since the mammogram x-ray machines were invented, everyone started getting breast cancer" literally blows my mind at how LITTLE THEY UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THEY ARE SAYING

"I didn't do any research and said a lot of incorrect shit that would have taken no effort to discover" is certainly a way to showcase your transphobia

Israel is a criminal, fascist settler colonial state engaging in a genocide & bombing civilians in at least 5 nations right now. Any escalation into full blown war is both its aim & its fault & our continual sale of arms,- & frankly anything else, to them endangers the lives of everyone on Earth.

So this is us trusting our communitea to hold us. Anyone who is able to contribute through the link below will get the name of their choice engraved on a plaque of SOS (Save Our Shop) Angels to be permanently installed in the tea house and a photo pinned on the discord. square.link/u/La2AFWmg

I have been encouraged by communitea members to ask for help in paying down the debt that has made building up an operations buffer impossible, thus causing small setbacks to become critical. We've never been so popular, yet never more precarious. Here's the ugly side of a bootstrapped indie: 🧵

Set in the Expanse universe, 3 cousins from across the system accept a job that only those with their genetic makeup can complete. Pax, Sway, and Ariadne twist a tale of intrigue that intertwines their lives with the UN, Protogen, and their understanding of the strength of their ancestral bond. 🔗👇🏾

Our mission to uplift the voices of #BIPoC in the #ttrpg AP space continues! We're so proud to proud to expand the #expanse universe with this thoughtful story and doing it with an BIPoC cast?

It's my BIRTHDAY today! What I want most is for you to donate to Trans Lifeline, as part of the @unpreparedcasters.bsky.social campaign - specifically donate to Atelut so that our corporate girly can survive this thing!! Let's save the train and save the world! tiltify.com/@unpreparedc...

Friday continues to prove why she and her business are an honest to goodness source to get ethical goods as much as anyone can in capitalism, and her undying support for marginalized communities is a shining light in this darkness

reminder if you're going to a protest this weekend: don't post pictures of yourself at the event, change your phone settings to code only (no finger print or face unlock), and bring water for yourself. wearing a mask is great to protect your health and your identity, while also protecting others.

Damn 😶

Hey, just in case it wasnt abundantly clear? Fuck ICE Fuck anyone who supports ICE Fuck mass deportations Fuck all of it Im first generation born in America to Portuguese immigrants. If you got problems with immigrants, you got problems with me, so go with God and stay fucked forever, assholes.

do you want to try Daggerheart but you’re not sure how to get into it???? WELLLLLL you can sign up over on StartPlaying for my new Daggerheart 101 sessions, where we will spend the first building a level 3 character and the second fucking around and finding out! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Even when it's a white journalist- Even when there's footage of it happening- Even when someone in that footage says what just happened- News outlets *still* can't bring themselves to say that "a cop shot someone".

'was hit by rubber bullet' is certainly a very passive way of saying 'was shot by cops' WHO HIT HER WHO DID IT MEDIA STOP USING PASSIVE VOICE FOR ACTS OF STATE VIOLENCE
