I've answered a nice handful of q's over the last couple years on how to draw good porn and think of good concepts and for some reason I've always accidentally left out an important bit and it's that you have to be bluntly and unapologetically in touch with what you find hot w/o laughing it off

But if u stick it out, if ur brave & honest w ur art, someone somewhere will appreciate it... Even if they don't leave a comment We always go back to this zine , it's focused on writers but it's applicable to any type of art I think Domino club puts out bangers dominoclub.itch.io/good-writers...

The current climate with all it's censorship and puritanism makes it scary to go ten toes down on what u like & what u love On the internet there will be folks who hate everything about ur art and those who will light up at every scrap of work and the former will be loud...

This is especially important if you take commissions. if you're not extremely in touch with your likes and dislikes and aren't prepared to tell people to go elsewhere with their requests you're going to be either really bored or really annoyed and end up making a lot of bad work.

Okay. Time to sleep. Usually I would delete those posts before sleeping but I think I'll do it tomorrow because I want people to know that my work is still very much at risk even though the last month was quiet. Please call and mail to push back against paypros. stop-paypros.neocities.org

We need regulations that strip payment processors of their power to dictate what we can or cannot buy, it's not their business, their business is just processing the payment and shutting up.

It's becoming clearer to me how many people share posts like the one below but don't read the information provided. No, none of the mainstream payment processors allow even drawn porn, that's why pivoting to something like Backerkit isn't a reliable option. We need changes from the top.

The only acceptable alternative would be a nationalized payment processor to be a public option to undercut the ability for payment processors to control the market. Lacking that? Pressure the pay-pros. Pressure your electeds. Demand change.

Hey everyone should call their representatives and stress that this shit is dumb as fuck and Chuck is trying to grasp losing from the jaws of victory here www.congress.gov/members/find...

a *lot* of anti trans shit coming from the house toward the FY26 bill & i can’t tell you how much it matters for a lot of people to tell dem senators—amidst the week’s jenga tower of moral panics—not to compromise & that trans people are worth fighting for. info & script in the QT ⬇️⬇️ please call!

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic. Keep creating. 💜

Ya know what they say: Fool me once, shame on you! Not gonna fall for scams a second time!

*taps the sign* It's time to up the pressure on these puritanical busybodies. What a consenting adult does with their own money is NO ONE'S GOD DAMN BUSINESS BUT THEIR OWN.

Isn’t it interesting that the “stop censoring our games” bros are -silent- on all of this? Like — almost as if they are certain it will only target minority creators and leave game misogyny and giant boobs intact?

Watched this earlier today and it's such a genuinely important watch. Sexual content forms are still art in a very literal sense and an intrinsic aspect of the human experience. There is nothing shameful about ethical hedonism. We're here to make the world a more enjoyable place for one another.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

You know what would be a great way to celebrate Mamdani’s historic win? Donate to a food bank. Give to community fridges. Call and check on your disabled or elderly neighbour and see if they need groceries. SNAP still hasn’t been funded and people need help now.

“Facial recognition is unlike any other form of surveillance. It enables automated and ubiquitous monitoring of an entire population, and it is nearly impossible to avoid. If we don’t stop it, it will be used not to keep us safe, but to control and oppress us.”

Nov. 4th is proof that you (yes, 🫵YOU) can make good things happen, and there's plenty left to make happen! Paypros are still censoring the internet, but their conservative overlords are on the backfoot now, so let's strike while the iron's hot! #SaveSpeech yellat.money stop-paypros.neocities.org

I'm glad to see more normies and normie adjacent figures fucking finally talking about the subject, specially by bringing actual sex workers to talk about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjWU...

urgently Bluesky really needs to find a way to get artists and content creators on here. It’s such a serious existential threat to this platform but no one takes it seriously

Roughly twice a year a 47 year old straight white guy (take your pick: podcaster, pundit, popsci) author decides that we should repeal Section 230 and end all online anonymity. They are always convinced they are the first genius to come up with this. And they are always wrong 😑

See, you can protect kids without actively harming the entire fucking internet.

And since we are seeing it finally happen I urge people to watch, like and just do the thing to make it blow up in the algo, the more people that have these in their feeds instead of the twisted versions right wing grifters put out the better.

If we want more figures in leftist and progressive circles to talking about this we must encourage and show that we will support it. We must also specially push against those puritan comments that talk about "Porn addiction" and how evil is porn.

The more countries that stand up to paypros the better. We here in the States need to also call our reps to pass the Fair Access to Banking Act so that paypros can't censor creators ever again.

These bad internet bills will not protect kids, but ruin the internet. We need to put pressure on these lawmakers. Call and email your reps, and tell them to protect Section 230, our free speech and privacy, and OPPOSE all these censorship bills. #SaveSpeech www.congress.gov/members/find...

Pressure works! Please keep calling, emailing and mailing your representatives and demanding they oppose these bills and any other associated policies!

He'll make mistakes and be imperfect but when it's sabotage, name it loudly. Don't let people forget who is really screwing them. The robber barons can't abide hope. So hope. Remember what tonight feels like and keep it alight. Keep showing up when they screw with buses and zoning. Hold the line. 3/

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

Keep calling your Senators and House Reps, and tell them to oppose KOSA and all the other kids “safety” bills in this package. We won’t stop until these bills are dead, gone and forgotten!

So what can you do? 🤔 1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are. 2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat. 🗣️ 👉https://www.badinternetbills.com/#online-id-checks

This could be a great opportunity for the Canadian government to put more pressure on payment processors and tell them to back off. …I’m pretty sure Interac could use a little nudge. It’s no MasterCard, but ya never know.

You can expect more of this from countries, even close US allies and trade partners going forward. Not many countries out there willing to let a growth sector of their economy be crippled by US payment processors deciding to fuck with international trade.

Reason why paypros could run Rough shot on international payments was the USA's soft power,but after destroying trade,strong arming a app sale, bullying smaller nations for the lols going on a embarrass world leaders streak No one is tip toing anymore.if the USA would practice decorum why should we

It's starting to feel like the US's soft power is kinda played out, which could be good, or, umm, really bad
