I was one of those people that judged others for making taboo content and didnt defend their right to free expression. It was shithead behavior on my part and i repeated a lot of talking points around that time that i now know dont hold water and only end up empowering fascist censorship.

I have the strong desire to meet new people but get so uncomfortable when strangers are nice to me

I have to wonder: how would that 20% fare if, say, world leaders and billionaires weren't calling for their eradication daily. Like perhaps that might give people fear enough to hide themselves again. maybe 1 in five people

Anyway, these policies and guidelines are following pay processors demands 'cause we know BlueSky will need to implement sources of income sooner than later, and they're bending the knee to Visa and Mastercard to comply. So keep pressuring paypros! stop-paypros.neocities.org

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

Karen it up my dudes

Long haul yall, it is making a difference. We don't know how we're affecting things behind the scenes until we know.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Calling paypros and bugging your reps about paypros is still worth doing. Continue making your calls!

Yes yes yes yes www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

If you’re calling for civility in a time when fascism is overtaking the country then you are on the side of the fascists

Reactions like this to brians story show why it's valuable to keep talking about. As artists we are living the situation and assume others are aware, but the truth is most people do not know

I see the Dying Light zombies still have that same 10ft tractor beam grab, wonderful

is it weird or telling that supporters of the king pedophile all behave like children

the most important thing for everyone in this country right now is to practice self preservation. they are entirely rolling back the first amendment and the ability to protest, be careful

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Several people told me that going back to physical goods is the solution to getting art around paypros. It's well-meaning, but again, we can't loophole our way out of this. They're coming for everything. We have to stop running and stand and fight. Call your reps and demand protection. Call paypros.

His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing

Hey man, what

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

We cannot run. There are not alternatives or tricks we can use to avoid what is coming We HAVE to fight. You need to call your reps and yell at them. Get your family to call. Get your friends to call. The only way out of this is by fighting

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

rightwingers driving around pissing themselves off that businesses don’t have their flags at half mast is maybe one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen

Hummelgaard just said he doesn't believe EU citizens have a right to privacy. If this is your man, make him remember he works for YOU. His chat control law has just been dealt a blow from Germany opposing it, so capitalize on that and scream at him

what world governments are attempting is on par with the burning of the library of Alexandria. Decades, if not centuries, of art history across cultures will be wiped clean before the altar of "protecting the children" there is no running from this. there is no place to hide from it we must act

i dont know how else to drill it into people's heads but you are going to see this happen to more and more creators until there's no one left, or at least until the infrastructure that allowed us all to share our work as a community and create careers out of it is completely gone you have to act
