Happy birthday @nemosharker.bsky.social !

Happy birthday to @nemosharker.bsky.social , the writer of By Your Hands and one of the writers of Minotaur Hotel!

I’ve shared this before, but it feels important to reshare today:

Everyone ignored the canaries in the coal mine when censorship went after the "gross" art, cuz they didn't understand that to these people, fluffy wholesome queers are just as "gross" as the most morally repugnant art someone can make. Everyone's equal under the boot of fascism.

Wanted to paint this dog

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Misery is easy. Happiness is hard. Being happy is resistance. Being happy is punk.

I could yap a LOT about why you should, but it boils down to, if you're anti-kink/pro-censorship, you will only ever be punching sideways or punching down. You will only ever be hurting people like you, or acting as an oppressor.

As someone who very much used to be in the anti- sphere? Yeah. I'm glad I broke out of that when I did, because holy shit, it's made everything else eye opening. I hope everyone realizes how important it is to step out of that mindset, especially now.

I have a lot, but think about this one often

exhibit 183193 in "nobody running big corporations has a single fucking clue about selling things" betty crocker shrank their cake boxes instead of raising prices and now a huge % of recipes that use them no longer work. meaning there's no point in buying a mix at all.

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts. www.michiganvotes.org/legislators www.congress.gov/members/find...

we're on the precipice of a universal antiviral medication, mRNA technology is out here curing cancers every other month, HIV is cureable AND preventable, renewables generate more energy now than fossil fuels worldwide and and more cost-effective, coral reefs are growing back all over the world rn

Musky armpits are so cool

hate to be the bearer of bad news to the pretentious but pornography is not a lower form of art just because you feel weird after you jerk off sometimes. this isn't about "the noose tightening," this isn't just suppression of expression and art, this is un-elected, international suppression of art.

crop gonna kill this one

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

I found this big boy saved in the wip's archives and decided to finish it, I hope you like it. (reference painting: L'Eté, Anne-Louis Girodet De Roussy-Trioson) visual novel: Minotaur Hotel character by: @minohotel.bsky.social

The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

“Bread and Circuses” I can’t afford the bread and the circus cannot ship to my country

I'm gonna use this blatant example of someone purchasing adult goods being banned to springboard and say: Now, more importantly than ever, if you are an NSFW creator using any payment provider for invoicing, you must be CAUTIOUS to NOT INCLUDE ANY TERMS that would single you out as an NSFW artist.

boundaries = “this isnt for me and ill take active steps to not see this type of stuff censorship = “this isnt for me and i want everyone who likes and/or makes this type of stuff thrown in jail”

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech Link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Can't find a single thing wrong with this...

Build 0.8, containing the first act of Chapter 20, will be released on September 13th on Patreon, and on September 27th for the general public. www.patreon.com/posts/137979...

Big Minotaur Hotel news later today. Prepare yourselves.

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it. Don't stop calling.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.

1. This is a very good sign that speaking out against KOSA is working! Dont assume it's dead though, continue calling your reps until further notice. 2. "Sammy's Law" is still in the draft stage but is worth keeping an eye on as imo i think trying to pass ANY kind of surveillance bill is bad

We're announcing our new permanent art team and the roadmap for the Visual Update! www.patreon.com/posts/visual...

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

We're releasing a (non-canonical) erotic story on Patreon today, for our patrons of the VIP Guest and Good Master tier. Themba and Argos let out some tension and settle their differences, sort of, maybe! Who knows. www.patreon.com/posts/137329...
