Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots. Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great. So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Cat's out the bag! Ladies of the Knight, coming to you in July 2026 in actual bookbook form with Oni Press!! Complete with shiny new cover!

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

I want to make it very clear when I advocate for asexual rep I am in no way calling for censorship, homophobia, transphobia, queer erasure, purity culture, or hatred of sex. I believe in sex education, marriage equality, bodily autonomy, and other human rights—and asexuality is part of that.

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

I asked all my very fake super fictional and overall not real characters and they said they super duper consent to all the weird shit that happens to them.

Bust Commissions are now OPEN while I'm currently in college, please see the price list and rules below along with some examples! Please keep in mind that because I am in college and its a fast-tracked program that it might take me some time to get things done but will provide updates ASAP. <3

This is what he said

Lessons from being online since 1995 1. Brandolini's law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it." 2. Chill before serving. (Mine) 3. It's irony when the actor or observer is "confidently unaware." 4. On the Media's rules.

worth passing on, this is the stuff that allowed mastercard to just apply it's moral principles to numerous webstores. some of the responses given by payment processors in the wake of the itch and steam takedowns have been very concerning in regards to their overreach

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

Bluesky can still be accessed via Graysky for Mississippi users. Pass it on.

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT
