the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

If the state of things has you down, I recommend eating a pile of garlic noodles and then going to a bunny cafe to paint bunnies for two hours.

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

if youre canadian, you should absolutely sign this petition about C2 as well!

ELECTRIC BONES page 156 update It’s almost like they are holding hands! electricbonescomic.com/index.php/co...

Yesterday this has 57 signatures. It's now in the top 10 for most signatures. There's other petitions on the site people should sign as well. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... re Bill C2 www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... re Palestine www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... re Disability

Please spread this around, Canadians! Send it to all your voting-age friends who play video games!

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

Here is a convenient form letter you can use to contact Parliament members about bill s-209! justpaste.it/icow9 And here's all the contact information for Canada's Senators and members of Parliament! sencanada.ca/en/senators/ www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/s...

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

Unsurprisingly, Gender Queer is on this list. I'm so frustrated that Canadian teachers, students, and librarians are having to deal with this same shit we're dealing with here in the US. Canadian authors you can join @authorsabb.bsky.social !

electric bones page 155 update! oh no electricbonescomic.com/index.php/co...

Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*

Just a reminder to everyone that we are Canadian! 🇨🇦 Our books are printed in Canada and shipped from Canada. American orders on our website will be impacted by tariffs.

If there are any Americans who were thinking about buying anything from our shop, I advise ordering by Wednesday august 27th (or sooner)! Everything will have a percentage increase for Americans due to tariffs sent for ALL goods sent into the US from Canada. hazelbell.shop

CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org

Canada has our own internet privacy bills to be concerned about. Make sure to take some time today make your voice heard about Bill C-2!

Made a call to Visa today in which the rep read the statement from the first screenshot below to me word for word and then hung up on me. Visit this website for numbers and call scripts to reach Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and Stripe stop-paypros.neocities.org

"Your new character looks like Ezra!" "He reminds me of Adrian!"

always raining here is coming to a bookstore near you SOON (this november)

we are working on a game :3

❗A new character in the Hazel + Bell extended universe has appeared!❗ This doesn't look like a comic! 🎮 Happy 8/01 everyone!

Happy Yaoi Day! Hazel and I have been creating comics and novels about boys kissing since 2011 🥰

happy yaoi day!! (8/01!) please read my fucky robot yaoi comic

they're learning to tolerate each other through the power of shenanigans

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!!

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves. CALL THEM

The language and behaviour of fandom antis is rooted in conservative fundamentalism. These people do not belong in creative communities.

❗Dug through Collective Shout and found an Anti-trans Gender Critical Radfem core, along with LITERALLY every single censorship argument being used in anti-fan spaces VERBATIM🍵 (Color border indicates from the same article) (View image at full size, right click > open in new tab > click to zoom) 🧵

we are going to need to keep up this 'yelling at payment processors' energy for more than just today Ideally, we will need to keep up this pressure over a span of a few weeks As many people as possible, each making 2-4 calls a day, for a few weeks, is going to make the biggest impact

If you're a Canadian dev directly affected by these changes on Itch or Steam, I want to talk to you.

do you like the film the terminator 2

Maybe we could find out. Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372 Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

ACTIONABLE: If you're a resident of Canada you can (and really, really should) sign this. The email is pre-written, all you need to do is add your name to tell our government to stop simply *threatening* sanctions against Israel. It's long past time to implement them. nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

I’m behind on this, but Y’ALL— The Replay Boys is such a good game. I had tried to get into another game that just didn’t hit. I started Replay Boys was immediately absorbed. I’ll also take any game that lets me skip the main plot to make waffles with my cat.
