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

KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA We need to turn out in numbers against this!

Store: Bibipins.com

I've been struggling financially since September due to the tariffs. My business Bibipins is in trouble. Not only am I making less sales and with smaller amounts. But people have been refusing their orders (which I don't get back) due to the tariff costs & wanting full refunds.

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

please remember your sick and disabled comrades in your calls for community. we’re here and belong to this world too.

I still think it's really cute when the whole Alliance wait for a single sprout to watch the last boss cutscene n some of them start cheering to the rhythm. Did this yesterday at Thaleia hahaha #FFXIV

Please keep giving Bsky shit via feedback and in the reviews in the app store. It is not OK that they want to fuck over the users of the site in favor of getting investors. Because that is what this ridiculous censorship is about.

I wonder if a lot of these rock bands sit back and realize how often they go platinum in Black households. Linkin Park Evanescence/Amy Lee Paramore Fuel Metallica Korn Papa Roach Pearl Jam Alien Ant Farm And a shit ton of others…STILL on heavy rotation in 2025.

Soooo i'm officially getting back into WuWa. 🫣 And yes Qiuyuan is the main reason.

"No gods but us." #art

Mom gifted me a jug of kombucha for my birthday and it's taking all my willpower not to drink the whole thing. Forget store-bought kombucha...home-made is where it's at.

If you're in the US and following me, there is a 100% chance you are a person who cares about comics or movies or video games or books or whatever--as a creator, as a reader, as a fan. These bills are seeking to limit free speech and expression. To censor both the country and the world.

Please god learn the difference between "This isn't good" and "This isn't for me, or something I enjoy"

This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!

genuinely, genuinely from the bottom of my heart my advice as someone who’s played this game for a decade if you’re not having fun with xiv anymore please unsub and play something else. and i mean that. do not trap yourself, you will either come back to it or you won’t. and either is fine.

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

tl;dr

yoshi p has been nice about mods, repeating the same exact sentiment for years. the playerbase genuinely doesn't deserve his kindness or patience at this point

I'm preaching to the choir here, but family should have to earn your respect and place in your life just the same as anybody else. They don't get a free pass or more grace just because you happen to be born into the same group of people.

You gotta keep talking about the issue! Paypros havent reversed their policies on Itch or Steam yet! Keep talking about it, keep contacting influencers, news outlets and legislators about the issue! Keep it in the public consciousness!

Age verification bills are bad for a lot of reasons. Check up on what your governments are doing, especially if it involves facial recognition, because that's a privacy nightmare.

I was told directly by an aide on a call today that when a bill comes before a congressman, they specifically take their data from these calls and say "this is how many/who called in to vote yay/nay for this bill" they actually do factor in how many people call on issues like these. do your calls!

Reposts = 😭💗!! Hiiii friends! I'm having an emergency atm and am struggling to go to the hospital to get myself medication. All my illustrations are $10 off for the time being!! Please consider commissioning me!! 🔗: vgen.co/EmmieEtude

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

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

“Anyone who believed that government censorship of internet speech would stop with adult content was profoundly naïve. Had the mainstream tech industry taken the threat against us seriously rather than argue that our speech was less worthy of protection, we might not be in this situation.”

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content. bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... points that need addressing are: [cont]

I’m so grateful for all the support this year 💖 To celebrate 1000 followers, I’m giving away an commission slot! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ To join: 🔸Be a follower! 🔸like and repost this post! Ends Sept 13th! I'm grateful for this amazing and talented community! 🥹 #bg3 #baldursgate3 #bg3fanart #artraffle #dnd

Shit is still fucked, and we’re still here for you. 🔔 We have some updates on regional hotlines: the Virginia hotline is no longer operational but don’t worry if you see ICE or know someone who is detained, you can call the MSMA or @casaforall.bsky.social’s hotlines instead. No one fights alone! 💪🏽

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

#SaveSpeech Updated list of major US bills ya'll need to yell at your congressmen about, w/ talking points. Tell em to say NO to: SCREEN ACT KOSA IODA www.congress.gov/members/find... CALL EM. MAIL EM. EMAIL EM. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

It really is now or never. Both paypros and government are making the big push to effectively kill the internet. We might be talking about porn now but porn is step one in a process that moves blindingly fast

Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.

An update from us here at PBS 💙

if you follow each other because you like each other's ffxiv characters does that make you mutuwols?

Having OCs is like playing house with an infinite amount of people to play as.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

Hope everyone else's day is going well. I spent the last 8 hours trying to remove a wasp from the house. (Was gonna squish it until I was told that, upon death, they release pheromones to snitch on whoever took them out.) the ACV sugar trap actually worked.
