well would you look at that… it’s thursday

Continuing from yesterday, the PWYW stream! piczel.tv/watch/Squeal...

Let's make sure that we're remembering to do this too. It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

First half of comm stream done, now opening up second half for PWYW comms. Come get one! piczel.tv/watch/Squeal...

making a neocities website sounds really cool right about now

I've never been told this in my life, not once. Not passively hearing from others directed at other folks, or directed at me. I only got diagnosed at the age of 32. But.. this still made me tear up. Normalize this. Normalize telling your friends they're awesome, not in *spite* of, but because of.

#SaveSpeech Ive updated this infographic with additional bill info, issues, etc Find your federal and state reps below and make your voices heard! www.congress.gov/members/find... www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Hilarious. My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you. What you do with this information is between you and God.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through. Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours. Linking resources below

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

if y'all yankees wanna see my stuff, call your reps, make a stink there's no more room for politeness

#SaveSpeech so you see that there's a bunch of stuff that you need to call your representatives about lately re: free speech and censorship, but not sure what to do or where to start? here's a handy guide with all the info you need! www.congress.gov/members/find... www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Never sign up for a protest and don't bring your phone

#SaveSpeech Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided. folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal! find your MEP below and yell at them! www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home

The petition is nearly at 10k - just a little bit more of a push is needed!

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...

This petition has been struggling to get as many signatures as the anti-paypros one, and its hovering around 3.9k atm If you signed the anti-paypros petition as a canadian, i implore you, please sign this one too! C-2 is bad news!

PWYW SKETCH COMM STREAM IS LIVE piczel.tv/watch/Squeal...

Windows' own Focus Session Timer is one of the most dogshit Pomodoro timers I've ever had the displeasure of using. How do you make a timer that FORGETS HOW MANY SESSIONS IT HAS DONE AFTER PAUSING IT?!?

RING RACERS 2.4 RC1 IS FUCKING CRACKED DOG HOLY FUCK THERES SO MUCH GOOD SHIT IN HERE

That Virtual Boy shell they're selling for the Switch 1/2 to play Virtual Boy games is going to be a very expensive paperweight if in the inevitable time that Nintendo makes a new console, the entire catalogue of old system games goes away, since it's online and not local...

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.

What an expertly called shot

✨ French CanCan 10 years anniversary! ✨

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

#SaveSpeech Don't forget to do your dailies!!!

Ah, yes... it's #JungleSunday once again

Theres.... a new artist meme going around where you describe your style in detail with 3 samples and babes if that doesn't sound like training data i dont know what is

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

If I were Canadian, I would be making a lot of calls to my reps and yelling my gat damn head off about this.

It's my boy's 30th Birthday so I wanted to celebrate. #rayman #rayman30

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!

🚨Look at this! A new YutaONEfont™︎ has been created. We will launch when the number of reposts reaches 2000. Please spread the word!

These paypros still need to be pressured over this shit! If you havent made any calls yet, now is a great time to start doing so because theyre only continuing to ramp up their shitty censorous behavior!

be as vague as possible on your invoices. i usually just have like an extremely basic description of the commission (i.e. half body w/ color, full body w/ shading, etc.) with no hints of the actual content.

I'M GLAD!! If I draw a big belly and someone is like "mm vore", even if I didn't draw it with that idea in mind, I really don't care bc "mmm BIGBELLY" It's really just this:
