Bringing back this thread. These so-called "crime free ordinances" are getting worse. They're the most racist laws you've never heard of, and they're most prevalent in BLUE states. And they're spreading.

Apparently we might have to go to court over this. Please, if you can’t donate, at least share the post. I really don’t want to have to deal with the remaining financial issues from the residence itself *and* legal costs at the same time.

Hi. I'm alive. Been trying to take what time I can to try and recover enough from autistic burnout to not be a person I dislike. 🫠 We made it through about a week with my paycheck, but I'm down to my last 50 and don't get paid this week. Please help me keep calm. I am medically falling apart.

An extremely underreported point is the interplay between the disappearing middle class in the United States, the stark increase in wealth and income inequality, and the collapse of resources necessary to organize things like a general strike.

Did a new one

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith which is a dangerous assumption tbh

It’s been 11 days since I last got a donation to this. I’ve gotten enough where it isn’t a complete emergency anymore and have been able to get more hours at work, but I’d really appreciate knowing that I won’t be scrambling to pay next month’s rent bc I could barely cover this month’s expenses.

The problem with people learning incorrect things from porn is a problem with media literacy rather than a problem with pornography <3

Not having a degree doesn't make you uneducated. My wife is far smarter than I will ever be. She was the first person in her family to go to college but she couldn't finish through no fault of hers. So she doesn't have a college degree,

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them. Because I'll tell you right now, that shitheel? Not gonna have to worry about them accepting payment. *Artists will.*

Artist! Quote with your night art! ✨️ An older piece 🖤

Its the work week! If you havent called yet, now is an extremely important time to contact your reps and demand they OPPOSE KOSA! if your rep is a cosponsor, demand they drop their sponsorship!

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either. Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Let me reiterate: that shit ain't real. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

DIBS ON WRITING ABOUT ZENITH BEATS IN HEART

URGENT! NEED TO CLEAR OVERDRAFT ASAP. 🫠 Our cats need wet food again too, but I can't buy anything until I'm out of the red. #MutualAid #TransCrowdFund

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I don't know who needs to hear this but: PLEASE REMEMBER CLIP STUDIO HAS A HAND SCANNER THAT WILL REPLICATE A HAND 3D MODEL TO YOUR HAND'S POSITION. DON'T SUFFER IN SILENCE TRYING TO DRAW THAT HAND POSE

Really like these older pieces where I was exploring Abis personality #honeyvonart

Just so we all know. I have until the 13th to vacate my current home and nowhere to go lined up. So, if you have good energy to spare I need it because I really don’t know what I’m going to do.

If you are in Edgewater/rogers park Senn High school (10 min walk from thorndale stop) needs folks to monitor 🧊 and protect students and commuters NOW! if you are in the area and safe doing so please show up! ❤️

My pretty boy FINALLY got an updated design! He is a royal Vatori (bug alien) courtesan, using dance and pheromones to perform stories and poems for visiting dignitaries. He is an entertainer, therapist, and cultural historian.

If you are a Canadian NSFW artist, please keep an eye on your account after Oct 15 and contact me if any of your media/account is censored with the new ToS. I may have a follow-up meeting with the federal government in the coming months to address this. Save my info: linktr.ee/rjainxiv

If you know me in person, you’ve likely heard me talk about my house having a lot of hazards and that I finally moved out of it. Unfortunately, I just found out that my roommate caused a bunch of damage to the property that my other roommates and I are now having to cover for. gofund.me/dcdf50f31

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

So. October! Still coming back from Covid and adjusting to a strenuous part time position. Our 10th wedding anniversary is on the 10th. We never had a honeymoon and we had a tiny flash wedding. If we could make Progress towards the full goal in this first week of Oct, it would mean the WORLD.

Reminder that Bluesky and many other platforms use AI to label their content, not real people. Bluesky uses thehive.ai specifically. If you're an artist or creator, do not post non-watermarked (out the ass) media here or any other platform that also uses AI (meta).

There's this horror Zine taking applications and the rules are so fucking funny I wonder if the person running it found out about horror exclusively through the twilight zone and also yesterday

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Excellent tips for keeping ICE out of your phone now featuring alt text

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

does anyone have a line of communication with Kate? I'm really worried about her. She's in North Carolina if anyone is able to help her

Phoenix doesn’t have Bluesky but i wanted to circulate this here too!

If you throw "ref is cheating" or "tracing is cheating" people will automatically assume you don't know shit and can't draw. Like Paprika said, the only limit is stealing but you can use and even trace free to use bases and pictures, Sims screenshots, your own arts and pictures etc etc...

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

#SaveSpeech Ireland has its own Online Safety Code currently under deliberation, however, as with all the other online ID verification bills going around right now, this one is vague and full of dangerous assumptions. read about it below and contact your representatives about it!

The deadline for the australian petition is coming up [oct 3rd]! So aussies, get on that! Additionally, canadians, the deadline for your petition is ovtober 25th so you only have a few more weeks to push this!

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

PSA for anyone writing Arcane fics: the language spoken in Noxus is not called Noxian. It’s either Ur-Nox (the dialect most commonly spoken in present-day Noxus) or Va-Nox (the older dialect.)

KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA We need to turn out in numbers against this!

Trying to make a distinction from "this is art the artist makes to deal with trauma" and "this is the artist's very clear fetish" puts the privacy of real life victims at risk. I shouldn't have to give you a laundry list of all my triggers and traumas for you to decide my art has the right to exist

I like this one because I also know that some of the best quality plamo tools —nippers etc — come from Japanese companies that originally produced nail tools
