Designers are waiting weeks, and in some cases months, for payouts from itch as sympathy for the indie game platform's mounting problems wears thin.

hi, cis folks! do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we! please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

oh look it’s a helpful list of all the Nexstar and Sinclair ABC stations that I guess one could call if they wanted to complain about them not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

Confirmation that Trump will be signing an executive order designating "antifa"—i.e., opposition to fascism—as "a domestic terrorist organization." What this will mean concretely has yet to be seen. For now, read this guide to preparing communities to endure repression: crimethinc.com/Safeguarding

Palestinian Voices in Games announced - a network of more than 50 industry professionals supporting Palestinian video game creators, with 4 games currently receiving help. (Read more: Palestinian Voices in Games)

THIS is the message to give your reps. It is an exact script.

Nexstar Media Group 545 East John Carpenter Freeway Suite 700 Irving, TX 75062

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

Over the next months (or, however long it takes) i'm looking to raise £1000 towards the Red Cross' Gaza Crisis Appeal. I want to get them across the £3000 goal mark. Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023. More are severely injured. Too many displaced. tilt.fyi/P3FsHn49Wb

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

I'll say it again: if you are terminally-online & have a vast reservoir of pent-up angry energy from feeling powerless as the world around you gets worse and worse it is 1000% more productive to direct that energy towards Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and Paypal than any other target #SaveSpeech

LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR MASTERCARD’S CEO STEP 1: CALL +1 914 249 2000 STEP 2: TYPE 0 STEP 3: TYPE 6432224# STEP 4: TYPE 1 Congratulations, and have fun calling the executive who matters most in this Steam / itchio censorship situation

‼️Important Update‼️ There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens! Please be careful out there ↻💬♡ to help spread the info!

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

hey have a script for leaving a message for Stripe. the number i used Minutes ago so i know it works: 877-887-7815 you will not have to talk to a real person, this number leaves a message. i recommend switching up the exact wording so you don't just leave the same message as me.

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

You know what'd be super funny? Not just blowing up their call centers, but their mail. Mastercard 2000 Purchase St. Purchase, NY 10577 US Stripe 354 Oyster Point Blvd. South San Francisco, CA 94080 US Paypal 2211 N 1st St. San Jose, CA 95131 US Visa 900 Metro Center Blvd, Foster City, CA 94404

Mutual aid organizations like The Sameer Project, a rapid-response initiative led by Palestinians in the diaspora, need your help to support their work in Gaza.

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla... Need to know what to say? Use this: bsky.app/profile/void... #itch #censorship

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Mastercard: www.mastercard.com/global/en/vi... www.mastercard.com/us/en/person... Visa: investor.visa.com/corporate-go... usa.visa.com/Forms/contac...

www.mastercard.com/global/en/vi... lists numbers for corporate offices, I don't know a good script but I would say a decent thing to say is that you want Mastercard to stop doing censorship by fiat. I'd also suggest that if you have a big following, to pressure any journalists in tech to speak up
