You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

It's almost like nobody wants AI except capitalist ghouls!

genuinely WHY does this ALWAYS happen to fandoms?

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Glad I got Ticket Taker done as my last project of 2025. There are some bits I would have done differently but I had a flare up in my wrist but overall I am quite satisfied. Now to give my wrist a good long rest. Ticket Taker, Harlequin, and Pierrot are from @nekoblackcat.bsky.social 's game. 👍

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

anti ai, pro hag

God, I hope this is true

Prettiest picture I've ever taken

(PLEASE REPOST!) Reviewers, journalists, content creators, YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers, and TTRPG people of all kinds : WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! This month we're sending out the press preview version of GALLOWS CORNER - A PEASANTS' REVOLT RPG, and we want to add you to our media distro list!

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself. Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

Spent my Sunday playing with yarn I had around the house and made this lil Mothbaby. He politely asks to inspect your lamps. Happy Spooky month folks! #amigurumi #mothman

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

No. Be loud. They want us to be silent. Also maybe listen to the nsfw artists begging you not to do a blackout & instead fight this loud & as vocal as you can be, especially if you say you wanba do this for those artists.

Got this pattern from mincrochets.com. Super cute and perfect for Halloween. I didn't have the right sized wooden bast so I had to come up with some creative bordering to cover the edges. And yes! The Ghostie is floating!

The kitties glam shots are done for Shuuya's "coronation" tomorrow. Shuuya is in full kingly regalia, the little crown prince Teucer having his little crown placed on his head. #cats

Couldn't wait to whip up one of these lil nug sploots! Filled the belly with beads so its got a little weight on it so my kitten doesn't take off with it too easily. Still deciding if I want to add spots but if I can do it later if I get the itch. Pattern by @blackwallmancer.bsky.social

Juicy article, but also thegamer has been consistently covering game censorship. They're putting so many other outlets to shame which is crazy when it's literally THE thing that is happening in art and games rn

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

I'm expecting Stripe to ban everyone who isn't doing mindless drivel on the platform because it suits their puritanical ways. Hey, you still calling Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal to get them to cut the crap?

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Affirmations for every artist here!!!

This took way longer than it should have but there he is. My crotchet take on @nekoblackcat.bsky.social 's Harlequin. Now Pierrot has someone to squabble with.

If you’re sick of it, do you wanna know who’s even more sick of it? Payment Processors. 😉 Let their frustration power you through yours. 😤

ALL THE PROCESSORS YOU CAN CALL:

Oops, I forgot the link. It’ll also be pinned in the weekly update that’s coming out in a few hours! www.gimmeswag.com/products/pie...

The Pierrot plush campaign is live! How it works: You only pay $2 now to reserve the plush. This amount will be deducted from the final price! If the campaign reaches 100 reservations, the plush goes into production. That’s when supporters pay the remaining amount to receive the product. ...

Daily Check in 08/20/2025 So I actually got a call FROM Visa today. Not about anything I've been calling about but to tell me that I'm delinquent on a card I canceled months ago due to late fees. I do not have the money to pay it and it's only going to rack up if I can't.

Hate to do this but I have my wisdom teeth extraction surgery this Tuesday and my paychecks have been lighter these past two pay periods. If me doing some of this legwork helped you determine a backup platform or two to set up shop at, I won't say no to a coffee in my direction ko-fi.com/baiyu_dev/

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment. If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business. Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

New #CoralIsland update on the 14th!!! Mark, I'll start yet another new playthrough just for you *insert yippee jumping kitten gif* www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFi6...

If you're in the US and following me, there is a 100% chance you are a person who cares about comics or movies or video games or books or whatever--as a creator, as a reader, as a fan. These bills are seeking to limit free speech and expression. To censor both the country and the world.

you have been visited by the Skylight Napping Fox and will have good fortune for the rest of the week 🤗

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

hey. have you been sitting out on calling payment processors? i get it. phone calls are annoying and difficult for a lot of people. maybe you’ve been putting it off until now. well, i have good news: now is actually a PERFECT time for you to START calling. you are Wave 2!

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea. Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

This is a great idea--citing headlines from mainstream outlets (Guardian, CBC radio) will put the fear of god in payment processors. Links Guardian: www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j... CBC: www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/s...

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail. Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

Stripe, Visa and Mastercard have all made some kind of public statement within the last 24 hours about the #SaveSpeech backlash. While theyre continuing to dig in their heels, a response is MEANINGFUL PROGRESS. it means we are having an effect. yall are doing great. keep up the energy! Call! Mail!

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal". They won't because there was never an investigation

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship! Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors. KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling. Don’t stop calling.
