Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

We should all make more porn Real wacky shit too

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

Fuck a bluesky blackout, we need a whiteout. Cum everywhere, a week of moderators being unable to escape The Cum.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

dont do this. be proud loud and obnoxious. a company can easily deal with the people they want to dissapear, dissapearing. you need to be CONSTANT express your FEELINGS AND BE LOUD ABOUT IT.

It is scary times, but remember to look around you and remember that there are more joining you in this protest against the fascist. The numbers of people resisting is growing Every small win we make inches us closer and soon we will have big wins as well. Don't give up

It is certainly a frightening time to be an artist. Please stand up for all artists who are sticking their necks out while censorship continues to spread across the net. Every complaint, repost, credit, follow, and commission matters. Especially for artists who aren't white, cis, and able.

Art isn’t about making the prettiest picture you can make. It’s about conveying a feeling or an idea.

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

my friends and i constantly quoting this post to each other whenever we feel bad about productivity

This is an open letter to whomever it may concern: if you move to twitter. Do not expect support from me, or even for me!

Systems never question themselves.

until we see concrete evidence that bsky’s tiny ass moderation team has the manpower to enforce those new content guidelines, posting CAN and SHOULD continue completely unchanged until proven otherwise, it’s empty words. call their bluff

All this to say hey guys, things could be significantly worse and far more terrible!! I'm sure you don't need to approach the bluebird's carcass to smell it from here but we didn't come here because we were willing to settle for being mistreated in the first place, did we?

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

I joined a bookclub, this week we are articulating our worries into writing

I still love this and will keep reblooping it until everyone has seen it~ A drawing like this from 8bitbeetle is only like $30(!) right now and every single dollar goes towards Oddy the chihuahua's vet bill! You won't get a better deal than that! They do full body renders too! ko-fi.com/8bitbeetle

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

all these big billion dollar companies act as if the economy isn’t held together with wet play dough at all times

Some needed sobering words honestly, tho we should yell at bluesky's team anyway about the remaining alarming things in the guidelines. But hey, they've at least implemented our feedback in parts which is a biiig step up from many other platforms!

I have a GoFundMe up right now for things I really, really need help with. I don’t know who else to reach out to other than to the online space. Any share is appreciated, but please don’t donate if you can’t afford it. Link/More Info: gofund.me/b263f8a7

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

Holy crap! There's an ACTUAL NUMBER for PayPal in this! PayPal is NOTORIOUS for never giving out numbers!!! This is pure gold!

This is so true

Stop complying in advance.

btw telling an artist you like their OC/want to see more has a lot more impact than numbers of likes and shares... obv those are appreciated too, but you don't really know what ppl sharing your art think of it unless they tell you. and it feels really nice to know! a kind comment goes a long way :)

It’s so important to not let yourself become bitter or disheartened or cynical. To not let the news of the world break your spirit. Because I’m already doing that. It’s my thing. Find your own, stop copying me.
