they keep letting people go on record and say "don't worry everyone, we only replaced our concept artists with ai" as if the concept artists aren't the entire skeleton of the thing. you took the bones out, man. look at it flippin and floppin around. fuck off

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

money doesnt buy happiness but like 85% of my stresses would disappear if I got $20k right now

“The technology is simply too dangerous for law enforcement to be using at all,” EFF’s @adamdschwartz.bsky.social told @actionnewsjax.com. “More than a dozen innocent people have been arrested by police because of errors with face recognition.” www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/...

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

dude you gotta love people. thats the whole point. if youre not loving people what are you even doing

Sex workers have been banging the drum that moral panics around porn are a fascist project for years and years and people on this website still go "but it's ickyyyyy it's probably baaad for socieeetyyy"

Fitting that the actual narrative from this supposed "national security threat" (commercial sex) is just a 50s Lavender Scare cut-and-paste: "we can't employ homosexuals because they could be blackmailed!" Fascists have one playbook — DARVO the victim. The marginalized are somehow the threat

This has been the censors' brand for over sixty years. They erupted over Mapplethorpe, campaigned to defund the NEA, blamed AIDS on porn. Christian Nationalism always lurked under the surface, but just shocking when it's publicly stated in such racialized, nationalist terms, Don't forget it.

There was a time, not too long ago, when porn was regarded as light entertainment, largely unserious and sort of funny. Major publications would report on the Pornhub trends and the general wackiness of human sexuality. NCOSE and others worked to rebrand it as depraved, dark and shameful.

The push to control information, the panic around sexuality, concerns about threats to female purity and male nobility are literally textbook fascist narratives. In the past ten or so years, these have become conventional wisdom in almost all public intellectual and legislative debate.

Lots has been written about the other trappings of authoritarianism: the gilding of surfaces, racist anti-immigration rhetoric, the demonization of queers and trans people, the brutality. But mass sexual repression hasn't gotten nearly enough attention, and too often it's echoed by the left.

The fascist call to familial and national strength is the same stuff documented by Wilhelm Reich in the 30s. "Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." So wild to see them lay it out so directly.

A new op-ed in the Washington Times finally says the quiet part out loud: Fascism demands sexual repression. "Pornography corrodes the exact social foundation that supports national strength... A society marked by loneliness, weakened families and diminished social trust becomes brittle."

presenting trafficked women and onlyfans creators as inseparable parts of the same machine creates associations. just saying

Highly related I've seen a lot of talk abt Euphoria getting to film porn that indie creators would get banhammered for. Pay closer attention to how it's presented: it's made to be evil and corrupting, the devil whispering in womens' ear with financial freedom and power, until they're punished for it

There's really no reason to fall for the emotional plea to sacrifice other people for surveillance and violence Twice

Remember when I said this stuff led to fascism

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

This International Whores’ Day, we’re launching FSC Speak Out, a new campaign from FSC and @EPAUnited centering the voices of adult creators. In our first video, performers share how the industry has provided independence, agency, and opportunity. #FSCSpeakOut #IWD

2022年のイラストの再掲：ガルガとアトワート #HappyPrideMonth 🌈

The actions inside and outside the facility are working.

this pride i would love for people to remember how the intersection of identities affects one's relationship with systems of oppression and that the allyship of lgbt identities are not a competition of who has it worse but about what we can do when we work together :)

EFF advisor @reitman.bsky.social joined @taylorlorenz.bsky.social to explore the terrifying reality of financial censorship as explained in her new book, “Transaction Denied” from @beaconpress.bsky.social. youtu.be/tyqEYDisiZA

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

I have seen AI described as a "technology founded on a lack of consent" and it has been echoing in my head since then

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Labeling entire accounts “adult” and hiding them, no matter what they are posting, will inevitably suppress vast amounts non-explicit political speech around sex work and censorship. The accounts most likely to speak out about over moderation are the ones first to experience it — the whistleblowers

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

It's just censoring regular ass text posts. bsky staff is just straight up shadowbanning nsfw accounts

the internet has the magical radicalizing potential to reveal to people that Sex Stuff is actually Normal Stuff and that it isn't actually weird for it to share a space with Other Stuff. rich freaks have been scrambling to retube this toothpaste for decades and must not be allowed to succeed

Meta has been blocking human rights accounts from reaching audiences in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. EFF joined ALQST and 10 other organizations in calling on Meta to restore access to accounts and provide more transparency about their practices www.alqst.org/en/post/met...

Listen I'm very loudly anti-AI but I think part of being anti-AI is also that you have to be AGGRESSIVELY pro-artist. Please support your artists, especially ones with marginalized identities.

i was such an avid reader of stuff i did not even get CLOSE to understanding as a kid and all it did was make me read more, and ask more questions about the world. there's a concerted effort from almost every consolidated power on this planet to make people less curious!!!!

Learn steps you can take to help fight ICE in our toolkit:

“The immigration camp, it really depends on a lot of local infrastructure. It is up to us, neighbors, community members, and we have the actual power to shut them down.“ @jwashing.bsky.social talks to @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

The infamous Fifth Circuit has stayed an injunction, meaning the Texas App Store Accountability Act now goes into effect. App stores — essentially, Apple, Google and Microsoft — will now be required to age verify all users, through facial scans and other means.

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Porn includes shit like Paleolithic art and is "bad for (this) society" because a bunch of dogmatic fascist assholes use it as a thin edge of the wedge on oppression of all marginalized groups and so. many. leftists. fall for it because they have too much internalized shame send fucking tweet

Also I get the feeling that not an insignificant number of people make the distinction in their head that cartoon porn is fine and filmed porn is bad because it's "real" porn. Not how it works

Remember we have their ear right now. They're already requesting public comments on debankment practices. Go file.

I am once again BEGGING artists to not use friends and family for comms on PayPal It will fuck you. They will take your money. You can claim the service fees on your taxes. Please.
