Sinnamon still needs our support. Please help if you can 🩷

Banks shutting accounts. Card networks cutting ties. Payment processors changing rules overnight. The adult industry has been living in compliance chaos for years. A new piece from #XBIZ explores how crypto could finally offer stability. 🧵

Square just rolled out fee-free Bitcoin payments through the Lightning Network. No processing fees until 2027, instant settlement, and merchants can choose to keep BTC or auto-convert to USD. That’s a big step toward more open, creator-friendly payments. ⚡️

We can't blame y'all for this one! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 #cornfactfriday

🚨 Today, @bitcoincom-news.bsky.social announced a partnership with blockchain @concordium.com to enable age-verified stablecoin payments for 75 million wallets. It’s the first large-scale attempt to make age verification work without surveillance. #ageverification 🧵

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent. It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.

Things are starting to get a little bit spooky around here 👻 @gwenadora.bsky.social

🚨President Donald Trump has issued a full and unconditional pardon to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ. Zhao had pleaded guilty in 2023 to failing to maintain an effective anti-money-laundering program at Binance and served a four-month prison term in 2024.

$287 billion?!🤯 #cornfactfriday

So many of us know @sinnamonlove.blacksky.app for her advocacy, mentorship, and heart. She’s helped countless creators find resources and safety. Today, she needs that same care from all of us. Please donate or share if you can. 💜

🚨 Pennsylvania lawmakers just proposed a 10% tax on adult content purchases, on top of sales tax. That means a $20 subscription could cost $23–$24 depending on the county. (Philadelphia’s rate is 8%, Allegheny 7%, most other counties 6%.)

🧵 Emiru’s assault at TwitchCon isn’t just a Twitch problem. During her meet & greet, a man broke through security, grabbed her, and tried to kiss her w/o consent. Her team stopped him. Twitch’s response? A PR statement claiming they “responded immediately.” ❌That was a lie.

*facepalm*

🧵 Another platform for adult creators is gone. Here’s what happened to Tributify, and why even the new “Fair Banking” order doesn’t protect adult workers from losing payment platforms.

Get tested regularly! Your future self and partners will be very grateful!🩸

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy has passed away at 78. A mother, mentor, and revolutionary whose life reshaped what survival, love, and liberation could look like. 💔

🚨Five updates every adult creator should know this week:

Everything’s on the cloud now, whether you asked for it or not. 🧵 Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, just changed how Word works. New docs on desktop will now auto-save to OneDrive by default, not your computer. You pay for Word, but your files? Straight to the cloud. ☁️

For those of you who think “I’ll just use a VPN.” Think again. Organizations like @fsc.bsky.social are constantly fighting against unconstitutional bills like these, and donations are always needed! 🩷

🚨 Discord AV Breach Update: • Guardian reporting confirms ~70,000 government ID photos tied to Discord age-appeals may have been exposed after a third-party vendor was hacked. • Names, emails, IPs and some support messages may also have been accessed; the attacker attempted to extort the vendor.

Update: The GENIUS Act is now law, giving stablecoins their first clear federal framework. ✅ The broader crypto market, though, is still in limbo. The CLARITY Act could fix that… if it survives the Senate. ⚖️

🚨 One of the worst-case scenarios for mandatory ID verification is already happening. A Discord data breach just exposed user info connected to age checks, the same kind of data governments and platforms want everyone to hand over.

October SpankMate announced!📢 The lovely @gwenadora.bsky.social 🤍

🚨 Roblox just pulled a Pornhub-style purge! On Sept 30th, Roblox began removing all unrated games from its platform. If your game doesn’t have an official age rating, it’s gone until further notice.

Censorship in gaming is on the rise, and “protecting players” from sexualized content is one of the big justifications. But a meta-analysis looked at all the research… and the data doesn’t support the panic. 🎮📊

Use it or lose it, as they say. 🗽 Quote source: www.spankchain.com/newsroom/why...

🚨 Big news on debanking: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) just announced new steps to stop banks from cutting off lawful businesses because of “reputational risk.” What does that mean, and why should you care? 👇

Say NO to VPN bans! 🚫

🚨 PSA: Coinbase One users, your account protection may not be what you think. Coverage levels depend on what you hold and where you are. Here’s the breakdown 👇

Know your options, & do what is best for your health. To learn more about contraceptives, speak with your healthcare provider. For more information, visit: www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-...

Birth control ≠ abortion Medical orgs define pregnancy as beginning at implantation, and mainstream methods (pill, patch, ring, implant, IUDs) primarily prevent ovulation and/or block sperm, not end pregnancies. Claims that standard contraception is an “abortifacient” are political, not medical.

A great myth-busting thread about s*x work and community decline from @swopbehindbars.bsky.social 🧵

Arizona and Ohio peeps! These laws are quickly going into effect ⤵️
