Agony in the garden

BDS works! also, they're still letting the IDF use their other cloud services, but they're starting to move on this, keep pushing.

An anonymous adult game developer contacted Steam for further clarification on Steam Early Access launch for NSFW content creators + DLC review for post-content NSFW additions. Here's what Steam said:

huge news but the fight isn't over as they're still maintaining a relationship with the IDF outside of this service being pulled, but this is legitimate living proof that the BDS boycotts get results

When calling your reps denanding they block/repeal age/ID laws, mentioning how many of these laws on fact BLOCK CSA victins from support is something you should do! We can "think of the children" right back at them

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

I don’t wanna hijack LRP, but it reminded me that the thing I wish all artists could have is enough stability to have interests outside of their art.

now that the dust has settled on the kirk shooting and with the benefit of hindsight and the kimmel thing playing out i sure hope bluesky's leadership is asking itself why their mod team so instinctively behaved exactly the way this fascist administration wanted them to before even having been asked

Finally read this and the incompetence of ai companies is so stunning that you’d think they wanted to distribute CSAM and I’m not so sure they don’t.

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

I love regular fursuit dance comps, but I *really* wish cons would host more night market/AD performance events with fursuit pole dancing, striptease, burlesque shows, etc. They were more common in the 90s/early 2000s but have largely disappeared.

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

bluesky's rating on the app store in my region has fallen all the way down to ---1.7--- out of 5. insane.

If you havent joined in the effort yet, if you havent called any reps, or sent letters to paypros etc etc You can still hop on and help. Now is the time to try! Because we will only get out of this by trying! stop-paypros.neocities.org

There are still people at conventions telling me, "They won't ban porn!" but these ID verification laws already have. Because there is no federal, safe and secure way to make those verifications happen; we will simply see site shut down or ban porn all together. You have to be realistic.

i think a lot of the whole gen z hates sex scenes thing can largely be boiled down to "generation that lives with parents doesn't want their parents to walk in at the wrong time"

love my bunny boy body (HE/HIM)

be pretty cool if they did though

nintendo gets 30% of one infringer's salary for the rest of his life, now own the entire gameplay mechanic of "summoning things to fight for you", but draw the line at using the legal system to stop fascists from appropriating their work fuck your "this is just business", it's moral cowardice

Clothing gift exchange 👕 (my half of an art collab with the talented Ishizubbi_ 💖)

It is now official, anyone who says "LGB without the T" is a confirmed fed and should be treated accordingly.

this is flying under the radar because, well, *gestures broadly at everything else* but I think it may end up being a real liability if there's one thing seared into the brains of those of us who lived through 2008 it's that people fucking HATE bailouts - and this isn't even bailing out Americans

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

You NEED to call your reps and tell them this shit fucking sucks! They literally want to big-brother style waych you at all times, zero privacy, to "protect children"

goodra

🙃💦

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

rent is nearing and i still havent gotten a new job since this has happened so i still need any financial support folks can spare and thanks a ton already for the help and shares and kind words so far it means a lot 'w`

George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics. And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK. He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

Girls who say “Hiiiiiii :3” and girls who say “Sup loser” are not enemies. In fact they are lovers, and they fuck each other nasty

From D. L. Mayfield:

KEEP THOSE CALLS COMING IN!

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

i hear its the year women have sex with robots ?

somepuppy's frustrated....

more sketching. enrichment for arias ♥

@hellabigpaws.bsky.social has been getting a LOT of attention on their day out 💙💗

all according to plan...

Disregarding decades of scientific study by the best minds on the plant and instead proclaiming vitamin supplements (that you also just happen to sell) as a "cure" for a complex spectrum of conditions is the LEAST surprising news from a government composed of social media gym bro wellness grifters.

I don't see much chance of this passing as written but important to to know what they're trying to do to take away your rights and control your life. And the people who push bills like this don't go away. They come back again and again with more "reasonable" bills to chip away at your Liberty,

As a trans woman who is proudly anti-fascist, I'm just wondering if Trump designating me a terrorist TWICE cancels out? Am I back to upstanding citizen? Or am I a SUPER DUPER terrorist?
