Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

@anyaustin.bsky.social I know you're probably not a player of Sky: Children of the Light, but if you ever feel inclined to give it a try, it has some of the most picturesque out of bounds areas I've ever encountered in a game. There's a whole subculture around finding them.

Oh, one more Bluesky specific: I don't know how perfectly the automod is catching the video/stills, but go to Settings, Moderation, scroll down to Content Filters, and set "Graphic Media" to warn or hide if you had it on "show". (It's gotten quite a few for me.)

All of these tips are derived from the psychological protections developed for content moderators, and if you want more detail and citations, crowd.cs.vt.edu/wp-content/u... is the paper that has the best collection of citations that I've found .

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free. freedomtobuy.games

I appreciate the idea, but I can see the writing on the wall. My books have LGBTQIA+ people in them. Depicted in a positive, accepted way. The bigots pressuring the payment processors will not accept that, and any site that caves to them won't host my work. I've removed them from itch.

you missed your chance. snowromancy is banned on itchio now

I think this is happening in no small part because "an education" is treated entirely as a commodity. It's not a thing you want for its own sake, it's the thing you need to have to even begin to be able to apply to entry-level positions and secure ANY kind of income or chance of upward mobility.
