The United States military creates more pollution than Peru and Portugal combined

Who the fuck would pull this? What group EXACTLY was getting offended by having someone killing Klan members? NOW more than ever is the time for folks to be playing these sorts of themes in games

New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

I see this a lot in online discourse about adult material or material dealing with dark topics. "But you wouldn't want a kid to read that, would you?" "What if a teenager sees the porn you drew?" "You want to help keep kids safe online, right?" I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding in 1/??

If you need an artist, a voice, or a body ref/custom content: I am available and need major help making ends meet. Inquire only if you have the means to do so. Boosts are always helpful everyday, all day. TYSM in advance #mutualaid #artistforhire #artist #commission #comms

A few more days to this sale!

Exactly this. Being silent is not a protest to these people, they already want us to be gone. What we need now is to act up, speak up and not give them a break. We have to show the shareholders and investors just how big of a fuck up all this is Because there won't be change until then

OK, Critical Role campaign 4 is now available in the CR transcript search archives (www.kryogenix.org/crsearch/). Well done CR team for creating a playlist for it so I can make this work. Also well done past me for making it so I can add a new campaign easily. There are more names now!

So am I allowed to reference the critically acclaimed film classic Alien(1979) on Bluesky or have the goon police decided a franchise built on a metaphor for violent rape and forced impregnation by a creature with a dick for a head is suddenly too much for their modern sensibilities? #bskycensorship

one slot was taken, but there are plenty left! sharing is still appreciated!

This is absolutely BRILLIANT They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that! Don't know what to write? Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point! #SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

Made sure to go and leave my own review, you should as well. The company will ignore folks making statements but actually putting things out there publicly will help You'd think they'd have learned from Tumblr, but know they'd rather bend the knee to fascists and bigots.

I realised the other day that not everybody knows this. Scroll down through any game listing in the Steam store, and if they've disclosed the use of AI within their game, it'll be above the System Requirements section. Now you can avoid supporting the use of AI in game development!

• advertising sw services when tagged appropriately should be allowed • same for NSFW artwork/writing • the guidelines should explicitly not have the kind of vagueness that would allow them to be weaponized against LGBT+ ppl

Good. But this must only be the first step. It doesn't end Labour's complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. UK-made weapons are used, UK forces train Israel's army, and Israel's president is welcomed to Downing Street. We urgently need an end to the genocide.

while submiting your concerns about bluesky's recent change in TOS regarding sexual contents, you can also complain about bluesky deleting palestinians' accounts, staying silent about the ongoing genocide.

No particular reason

Ironic coming from me, I know, but more people gotta realize the power of shutting up. You're uncomfortable with a type of fiction? Perfectly fine! Everyone has limits. Oh, wait, you're calling people pedophiles or insinuating they're a danger over fiction? Now you're putting people at risk.

all sex workers are braver than the troops and are especially braver than the trump administration

Get your shit together @bsky.app. The world is garbage enough without you adding to the trash pile. We're all disappointed in how pathetically spineless you are. Do. Better. Do better or get ready to watch your website crash and burn as you set fire to the community who built it.

The only consent that matters in art is the artist's consent for it to be seen, and the viewer's consent to see it.

every site recreating the tumblr porn ban like are they stupid???? aren't you a money hungry ceo??? don't you know how much money porn moves do you love seeing your platform shrinking and dying what's your problem

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

Also: -disallowed content will still be posted, only now people will tag it even less frequently, thus making it more likely we will see content we don’t want to see, not less. -you gave us a block and mute function for a reason, how about letting us decide what we do and do not want to see?

20 years ago, there were so few places to put adult art online; it was pretty much email lists or your own site. Y!gal was the first place I could post nsfw art, and was still limited. I remember when I first found tumblr and learned people could post all kinds of nsfw there. We had come so far!

I’m so tired of seeing people reply to stories about these tos censorships with “guess I’ll start pirating again.” Good luck pirating content that doesn’t exist because the artists and creators had to quit and find other work.

THIS. Parents shouldn’t be allowed to say what their kids should read. That belongs to the kids. Children deserve freedom too.

I created a custom character sheet for @queenmeach.bsky.social and I had so much fun with this commission 💙 #art #daggerheart #ttrpg

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: 🧵

If you saw a trans person's deadname, no you fucking didn't

Long haul yall, it is making a difference. We don't know how we're affecting things behind the scenes until we know.

@kjcharleswriter.com I have finished Copper Script and now I'm here, sitting on my bed and staring at the ceiling because I need more of them. I need more Joel in my life. What do you do to me with every book of yours that I read?

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

sorry im gonna be annoying by constantly bumping this for the next 1-2 days bc emergency 😣 (will partially lose access to receiving moneys for about a month so need to save for bills and other expenses, especially medical ones)

We all need to take this seriously. Payment processors are serving as extrajudicial arbiters of speech. This cannot be allowed to continue.

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

I understand the intentions of saying "no politics" in a fandom space, but it'll always be a huge red flag because it almost ALWAYS means racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry will never be called out.

this is very nice and useful but please also remember that alt text is for screen readers. if the only thing you use alt text for is hashtags and not descriptive text, it will in fact give me the ick and i know many people feel similarly.

UK folks! Youve got your own petition now! You know what to do!!!
