You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

and he didn’t even burst into flames. it’s that easy

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

Really good to know that @bsky.app 's response to their entire userbase complaining about censorship is... more censorship @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app this is shameful and disgraceful. Do better. Be better. #bskycensorship

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

If you're struggling with internalized ableism because of the increase of eugenics, I promise there is good in this world even when it seems impossible. Autistic people will always exist and even if others try to convince you otherwise, it is merely an attempt to cover truth: you are worthy of life.

Remember that Trump was the one who suggested to drink bleach in order to kill the Coronavirus. Like... the joke tells itself.

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

I sure just love THIS tv ;) #deltarune #tenna #mranttenna

Just some Tenna mouth drawing practice Nothing to look at) #deltarune #tenna #mranttenna

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

I refuse to accept that our future will be to live in puritan hell states. Keep calling!

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that

Wake up honey~ A new Deltarune AU has dropped. Giant (ANT)enna AU Love Tenna so much that I have beef with the knight for doing him dirty that I had to make an AU. I have a mini comic brainstormed for it kinda. Would you guys be interested in it? #deltarune #tenna #tvtime #susie #ralsei #kris

Giant (ANT)enna AU A bit of character studies of my Tenna AU, just to have a better grasp on his design/getting efficient with it. Timelapse: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6y7VcLx/ #tenna #deltaruneau #deltarune #mrtenna #digitalart #tvtime #tennaau

I’m Layla, a dental student still trapped in Gaza. This thread 🧵 shares my tough situation — pls take a moment to read & share. Even 5£ can help us a lot. (Pls repost every part of the thread 🥺)

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"

trust us bro #myart #nudity #censorship

You have to defend the right for art and media to be "sexually gratifying" You have to defend "gratification" You have to defend the right for people to get off nasty style You need to be more disgusted with people who want to say what people can do with their own time and money than x or y kink

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵 how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org info and resources on pay discrimination: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...

Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Stripe. Don’t forget to complete your dailies!! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Hi everyone my flat flooded this morning. We got 4 inches of dirty water and it has ruined all of our carpets and everything on the floor, including my clothes and all my art supplies. if you're able to spare a couple quid to help w/ clean up/replacement I'd be so grateful!! ko-fi.com/artymetropia

Zoom is already saying they're pushing for them to stop selling Duke and GTA. This is the line. I will keep saying it over and over because it really it do or die time.

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA). remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

To EU peeps: You like to point and laugh at the UK constantly, but time and time again your own countries then do the same shit. Denmark, Greece, Spain, France, Italy and Ireland. Contact representatives at both country and MEP level www.techradar.com/computing/cy... www.yoti.com/blog/ireland...

if throwing trans people under the bus isn't a dealbreaker for you then I don't really give a shit what you think beyond that. saves time, prevents a devious little weathervane ratfucker like buttigieg from worming his way into a candidacy to lose something important. try growing some integrity, man

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save. Save the png and repost as widely as you can

i do not share the author's barely disguised fetish but i will defend to the death their right to publish it

It’s time for our own collective shout. Who are you calling? Remember: Stress you’re a repeat caller on this issue and that you heard about this controversy on the news. With Visa, ask for a supervisor once you hit a dead end. Calls should always last longer than 30 seconds yellat.money

Literally none of the time you spent calling Visa/MasterCard this week will matter if this shit passes Yes it's exhausting to have more calls to make But this *is* life or death Censorship is the first stage of removing marginalized people from public life, and then from life itself

how I feel since 2016 or so

Uk gov - stop using VPNs to get around the online safety act, they use 3rd party systems and ur data is not safe! UK population- so what systems are you using? Uk gov - 3rd party systems....

"artists should charge more!" then pay them. Do comission them. tip them what u think they're worth. Artists wont believe they are worth money until u give it to them. They know what it's like to not have much, & hope everyone can afford their art. SHOW them they CAN ask more. Don't just Tell them.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

have you pressured stripe yet. you should pressure stripe.

USE THIS to turn off Google Searches horrible Ai summaries and links when searching!!! IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying! Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups. stop-paypros.neocities.org

Don't let payment processors start a purge of adult, queer and LGBTQI+ works with the excuse of morality. Guys, write emails, make calls, express your rage!

This isn't just affecting games hosted on itchio... Comics, books, zones, etc with these tags are also no longer searchable. This is going to impact indie scenes across the board if not challenged!

The dumbest most boring and hateful losers stomping their feet and getting whatever they want is getting really really old
