make these issues HUMAN to the people in your life. explain the ways this censorship has harmed you, has harmed people you know, how it will harm THEM eventually ive said it once ill say it again. most people are amenable to our cause, they just need to be connected to as humans.

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

the powers that be want us ashamed about sex, ashamed about porn and other niche expression because that means we cannot advocate for ourselves, we cannot talk to those around us and find solidarity we have to push back against that! we cannot give in to that shame!

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

Man, the worst thing is I'm working on some very cool stuff with some very cool people and despite that I just feel like shit. Gonna have to unplug for a bit. Be kind to your neighbors and rude to bigots.

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

I LOVE PORN AND SEX WORKERS AMD FAT WOMEN AND TRANS PEOPLE AND IMMIGRANTS AND POC AND FREE HEALTHCARE RAHHHHHH I WILL KEEP HOPING FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Spindlehorse union has been voluntarily recognized!! #spindlestrong

posting extremely banned highly illegal depictions of non-consent on bluesky dot app

See 'cause THIS is the better solution. This right here: the ability to label, tag and filter content so people can decide what they do or do not want to see.

we all need the help sometimes !!

Fuck censorship Quote your NSFW art 😤✊💀✨ #nsfw #nsfwcomm

whats the point of being on this site if they don't care about the feedback received from artists idk. i may not draw that stuff but i have friends and mutuals who do and will be affected so honestly this clown ass site doesn't deserve its artists

The way the framing leads the eye, the colors, the characters!! They are so charming!! ❤️

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: 🧵

I need you to call your reps and tell them to oppose the HHS appropriations bill. They are trying to sneak a nationwide total trans healthcare ban in it regardless of age.

#SaveSpeech so you see that there's a bunch of stuff that you need to call your representatives about lately re: free speech and censorship, but not sure what to do or where to start? here's a handy guide with all the info you need! www.congress.gov/members/find... www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

gog.com is perfectly fine and you can buy Silksong there no problem just fyi www.gog.com/en/game/holl...

Reminder that boycotting Xbox means also boycotting Gamepass, as well as Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard, GamePass and the many other studios Microsoft owns. It means not buying their games on Steam sale, too.

This fight is winnable. The extreme backlash from companies like Paypal is wild, but it's also them overplaying their hand, and it's proof that they are genuinely mad at us. They know how we're protesting, and they hate it. That makes it a good protest. So if they ramp up the pressure, we do to.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

Its another day! We really need as many signatures on this petition as possible! Share it around and sign it if you havent already done so!

As recent waves of layoffs impact our fellow workers and union members, we see again and again how little the word of your boss means when it is not backed up by a union contract or challenged with collective action.

tl;dr EU proposes surveillance and breach of privacy again. The website has an easy tool to mass-mail your country's REPs! Barely takes 1 minute!

It really needs to be understood that there's medical and scientific consensus on this, as well as trans people's own knowledge and experience on the subject, which is just as if not more important, as we are the sole stakeholders in our own healthcare. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

I extremely extremely feel this. Though remember to take time to calm down and recharge everyone

EU is trying to breach privacy rights again. I'm late to this but share if you can and talk to your reps! fightchatcontrol.eu

#SaveSpeech Ive gotten various comments and DMs that some people are too afraid to contact their reps about ID bills etc because they anticipate some kind of retaliation I need you to understand, it is your RIGHT to call your representative and share your feelings as a constituent on a bill

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

must be tough being a snake woman and having this tutorial above everyone's head at all times

I'll say it again: if you are terminally-online & have a vast reservoir of pent-up angry energy from feeling powerless as the world around you gets worse and worse it is 1000% more productive to direct that energy towards Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and Paypal than any other target #SaveSpeech
