LEGALLY YOU SHOULD BE SENDING INVOICES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. IF YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS ON PAYPAL DO NOT USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU ARE NOT SAFE, YOUR CLIENT IS NOT SAFE. THIS IS A FORM OF TAX EVASION. YOU SHOULD BE USING INVOICES.

Hey, as a heads up for NSFW peeps in the US, US President administration just made a shitton of BlueSky accounts. I would highhhhly recommend subbing to this blocklist so they don't show up on any algorithm feeds (and so they can't see your shit) bsky.app/profile/eva....

Do the same. They ask why you're unsubscribing when you cancel - tell them it's the ICE ads. It's insane to run recruitment spots for the gestapo.

haven't seen anyone post about calling your payment processors to complain to them in a bit so here's your reminder

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

Paypros are still throwing their weight around. Now's a good time to pick up yelling at them again!

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

This petition has been struggling to get as many signatures as the anti-paypros one, and its hovering around 3.9k atm If you signed the anti-paypros petition as a canadian, i implore you, please sign this one too! C-2 is bad news!

Germany has joined the opposing nations! Thats 8 total now! The preliminary vote is being done TOMORROW sept 12th. The main vote is on october 18th, but everyone in the EU should especially yell at their representatives TODAY to see if we can secure any last minute opposition before prelim!

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

this petition is almost to 5.5K, let's see if we can hit at least 6k by the end of the day! if you are a canadian citizen/legal resident, you need to sign this and verify your signature via email!

“After all, the initiative outright says that the danger of pornography is that it acts as a vector for the ‘transgender ideology.’” If anyone needed evidence that their end goal is the erasure of queer visibility, and possibly even our existence itself, here it is. This is an existential threat.

GO COMMENT www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2...

WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT AND PAYMENT PROCESSORS STILL AREN'T BACKING DOWN. WE HAVE NOT WON YET.

HEY WHAT THE FUCK WHAT DO YOU MEAN PAYPAL'S SHUTTING DOWN ACCOUNTS CONNECTED TO 18+ PATREONS????

YO WE GOTTA START CALLING PAYMENT PROCESSORS AGAIN, HOLY FUCK!

I know you're tired of hearing it I am tired of saying it But please, if you care AT ALL about queer or adult content, make the calls. Keep the pressure up

The feedback due date is tomorrow, so if you haven't filled this out yet, give it a look.

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.

I had a feeling this kind of thing was going to happen 😕 And the OSA terms are so ill defined and broad as to what is legal too 😑 Reminder the petition against the OSA is at nearly 530K signatures - please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

No one will yell at you or tell you no. Some poor staffing intern will take your call and tell you they’re going to forward your message to the senator/representative. Calling your representatives is so easy, you will not receive any pushback. Be polite but assertive! We are the will of the people!

I have called my Reps so many times and the only question they've ever asked is "Do you happen to know the bill's number?" Like that's it, and even then I only got asked it once. Trust me, calling your reps is one of the least stressful things you can do in these times.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS. They have spent billions and billions and years and years convincing us that what we have to say as common folk is worthless because of not paying for their degrees or programs. Our existence is enough. Our comfort is enough.

i'm tried of talking about this, i'm not built to yap online i really just want to post art and run away 🏃‍♂️💨 but here we are. it's week 5 and it's gotten a lot quieter, please keep calling! 🧡

#SaveSpeech #CPBC As we near closer to 4 weeks of sustained pressure, I made this infographic to help focus our targets and to suggest a daily goal that is feasible for most people more info and phone numbers here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money find reps www.congress.gov/members/find...

I hate to be alarmist. But you should be alarmed.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a social platform say that these child safety (aka anti-porn laws) are bad for everyone. Governments around the world are “think of children”ing their way into tracking you online and forcing a monopoly of the internet. It’s getting really scary.

anyone wanna help me make some calls before I can't see this website anymore?

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!

This is why you keep at these motherfuckers with your calls. Do. Not. Stop.

📢 Hey EU friends, fightchatcontrol.eu 🫱 There's literally premade emails. You can do that stuff in four clicks. Check it out.

Want to spread awareness of this also. EU citizens, consider checking this out and taking action against the AI powered snooping bill, false positives will ruin people's lives. People in the government will be exempt for 'national security', naturally. fightchatcontrol.eu

I gotta say this is the most action I've ever seen from this community! The phonecalls, the petitions, the news coverage - Youtubers ranting about it. It just feels good to see everyone care and work together! We live in frustrating times, but we continue to help each other push forward!

Im not gonna panic cause this is fairly standard vague wording HOWEVER, vague wording can very easily become a problem as we have seen time and again So read the new TOS and maybe fill this out so it doesnt -w -

Explain to me why this bill, which is the exact same thing as the UK bill, ISN'T an attempt to control public discourse? bsky.app/profile/tupp...

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

Fight for the Future has a petition set up that to urge Visa and Mastercard to stop censoring games, as well as urge lawmakers to step in against their overreach Petitions cannot materially do much, but theyre great for communicating raw numbers. Its worth the 60 seconds itll take to sign it.

Bluesky has enough moderation tools to curate our feed in case we don't want to see nsfw stuff and the new rules are too vague about adult content. Please speak up! A lot of us depend on social media to make a living and they're making a hell to promote fictional adult works 😩

Do this! And try to be as specific as possible, and hit a few different points. Here's some I brought up: 1. Vague wording in TOS 2. Not criminalizing sex workers or kink content 3. Inconsistent labels on images (suggestive vs. Explicit) I'll comment some more when i think of it.

WE NEED YOUR HELP WHO ARE THOSE MYSTERIOUS BANKING PARTNERS TELLING PAYPAL WHAT GAMES THEY CAN AND CAN'T PROCESS PAYMENTS FOR? LET'S FIND THEM AND CALL THEM! stop-paypros.neocities.org#paypal-partn...

HEY Do you want to save PORN from being kicked off this platform?? Go tell them your grievances then! Bluesky is built off the backs of queers, furries, POC, and sex workers alike WE were the first to join the site back when it was invite only, and WE should have a say in whether we belong!

“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.”

It's happening. Please call your reps and yell about SCREEN, KOSA, and IODA

hey maybe fill this out rn bc this is leaving the doors open to more censorship in here it takes one look from a puritan to see a furry or tentacle porn and think it's bestiality AND a look at manhandling/rough sex with a tsundere to turn into dubcon/noncon lol
