Last reposts: I'm not a US citizen. If I was, I'd be calling. Please call your reps in my stead. I'm counting on you people to keep the internet unfucked for me and the rest of us. What happens to your internet affects everyone.

Sunny with Finn & Nick I made this comic halfway through On the Road, but wanted to release it now, as it follows them later on their vacation

[Cliche reporter voice] BREAKING NEWS: local girlfailure gets too invested in popular webseries tumblr yuri fanfic and now desperately yerns for the found family trope to happen to them MORE AT 6!

Re: 'H.R. 8250' "Parents Decide Act". This bill wants to force age verification on the operating system level. If you see one of your reps listed below, CALL THEM so we can kill this in committee www.congress.gov/members/find...

If youre a UK resident you have a prime opportunity to push back against the Online Safety Act and online surveillance. PLEASE take a moment to fill this out and share it around

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this. This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

Thanks @bsky.app for resending me every notification I've ever received, try 30 more hours of vibe coding, im sure that'll fix it :3

Thanks @bsky.app for the dog shit vibe coding, its not going to solve your problem of furrys and gay people :3

the bill is 'H.R.8250' while usually i'd take a "wait and see" approach to a bill that has only been introduced, the us govt is moving FAST wrt age verification, so please, contact your representatives (particularly the house) and advocate against AV on device laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

From the description of this bill, this includes people calling their partners Daddy/Mommy and enough subtext that it opens to other kinks the parliament doesn't agree with. If you're on the UK, you really need to look into how serious this is.

They'll keep shrinking the definition of "acceptable art" until you can't talk about any of your lived experiences in a fictional setting

They need to make a way to send smells over the internet cause i can't tell if my pits smell rly good or if I'm huffing borderline poison

The FDIC accepted this change yesterday. Its examiners can no longer advise a bank drop someone based on "reputational risk". It doesn't mean the bank can't do it, but banks and paypros have a very public history of blaming entities higher up the chain for their decisions. It's a positive move

Remember, discord is -still- planning to do this in around a month or two. Cancel your nitro, but ALSO call your reps and tell them that online Id/ age verification policy is an unsafe invasion of privacy www.congress.gov/members/find...

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

Hey some good news!! Please keep supporting groups like FSC, and please keep advocating for data privacy rights!

Not being porn won't protect you, so it's time to protect porn

Hey cis people: instead of spending today going "ohhh woooow you people are soooooo braaave" while forgetting to cancel your HBO Max subscription or whatever, why not participate in today's most delicious of festivities?

Annoyed it took this long for sites to do stuff like this or just not cover it at all--I was there for the Hogwarts Legacy media blitz--but hey credit where it is due, they ARE doing it now

NYT was on here yesterday saying "You're lying that we misrepresented our source" in response to comments by *the source* on an article about transgender kids' healthcare, so you are indescribably better off without them.

I wanna go back to this bc some people were saying it's silly to comment on this because it was between the fed reserve and banks-- you saw last summer how paypros and banks had a propensity to blame each other when confronted about their censorship? Cutting off every blame route is important

Hey if youre in the EU you should act on this ASAP, theyre really trying to ram this through

hey all, i recommend contacting @ko-fi.com and letting them know what you think about genAI on their platform: help.ko-fi.com/hc/en-us/req...

If youre in the EU, you should contact your MEPs about this

The fact that AOC mentions the data breaches of biometric data that happened with discord shows that boosting that information worked, we need to make sure people understand what is at stake, they wanted to shove that under the rug and now it's being actively mentioned in government.

also, my understanding is that the US senate will be voting on the SAVE ACT/ SAVE AMERICA ACT -TOMORROW- (saturday the 20th) so PLEASE call and yell at your reps about that one specifically literally right now

You should be bringing this up every time you call your reps. THIS is allowed, but individual adults selling individual products are not. Also: CALL. FUCKING CALL. THAT HASN'T STOPPED BEING A THING. FUCKING CALL.

But like all of these "online safety" laws, this law has bipartisan support. Democrats are championing it too. It just passed the house with a super majority and has support from the Governor. If you live in Arizona, call your state senator and make your voice heard & fight back nationally!

If you want to push back against platform censorship like what now happened with subscribestar, you need to call your reps and demand opposition to these bills/policies Get family and friends involved. Explain the stakes in clear terms.

Yet again, I had people asking me, "What if I say the wrong thing?" Conservatives never worry about this. Why should you? They proudly wear their bigotry so you should feel no shame in pushing back against that. It is enough to say you simply do not want bad things to happen.

Is there a bad bill coming up? Tell your rep you hate that bill. Want better Healthcare access? Ask them to give you more access. It really, truly is that simple. But some of you are so unused to asking for anything that you've prematurely stopped yourself from doing anything, which is bad.

YOU MUST MAKE YOURSELF HEARD NOW. You must not let your reps walk all over you. They have gone without hearing from you for too long. Get comfortable with talking and being "annoying" and wanting things. Your life will improve. You can make any kind of difference.

hey, so, this is wildly irresponsible "reporting" that seems to be for the express purpose of garnering fear clicks from trans women, and idk why nobody's calling this out. This Is Not Happening, Nor Will It Ever Happen. thread.

(1/2) hello! we are in direct communication with the Free Speech Coalition, a sex worker trade association combating overreach of debanking & porn laws. tl;dr - YES it's a good idea to comment on this as ero creatives. the FSC is also submitting a comment.

RELEVANT AGAIN

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.

With what's going on with Subscribestar, it's a good moment to remind you all of something: Free speech also includes speech you don't agree with, and freedom of artistic expression also includes art you find horrible or disgusting. And if you go: "Yeah I agree! However-" Then you don't agree!

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

keep your work archived on a personal drive and just reupload it every time they try to fuck you over. take up as much space as you are owed. fuck you make me

What makes me so fucking mad is I never hurt anyone. The vast, overwhelming majority of nsfw creators and sex workers dont. We get cut off from the ability to use-the-dollar but all the sick fucks that hurt people, both directly and indirectly, every single day, never get even a slap on the wrist
