in light of the looming Bluesky TOS alterations, we made these handy stickers so you can let viewers and computers alike know that the characters in your scenes consented to being depicted in whatever ways you artistically chose to do so! #bskycensorship #fuckcensorship #nsfw #kinktober #jeztober

#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...

Bsky's new TOS cracks down on adult content and goes into effect on Oct 15 🚫 We want better content labels, NOT censorship. Use the feedback form to demand change They've forgotten the only reason bsky exists is because nsfw artists, sex workers, & the trans community left twitter #bskycensorship

If you havent joined in the effort yet, if you havent called any reps, or sent letters to paypros etc etc You can still hop on and help. Now is the time to try! Because we will only get out of this by trying! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

I got my job working on Castlevania by drawing a comic that would be banned under bsky's new sexual content rules. If it was up to these ghouls I wouldn't have had my career Use the feedback form to tell bsky to roll back these harmful policies and let us have creative freedom with a tagging system

You NEED to call your reps and tell them this shit fucking sucks! They literally want to big-brother style waych you at all times, zero privacy, to "protect children"

[Threaducation: NSFW Moderation & Personal Responsibility) There's a lot of talk about Bsky's new TOS nonsense, which kicks in on October 15th, but most of the users here don't even KNOW they have moderation settings to avoid NSFW content they don't wanna see. That needs fixing RIGHT NOW! 1/6

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

3 countries have moved to UNDECIDED on Chat Control, meaning we're now down to only 8 countries opposing. I know it's exhausting, but please keep calling, mailing and spreading the word. Maybe even make posts like this calling for action in your native tongue? fightchatcontrol.eu

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.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

If you want to push back against censorship, here’s some actions to take. Censoring *yourself* is not the way. Please listen to those who are most affected (nsfw artists) and what they’re asking us to do which is not to be silent!

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.

It's NEVER been more vital to keep the pressure up They're targeting physical items now too Be sure to call + email both paypros AND your reps Easy steps + scripts on the site! anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

Also worth pointing out imo- even if you don't READ the books, dvd's, or other resources they provide (some even have "item" library sections you can borrow from!) It benefits them a LOT for you to literally just check them out or USE their services!!! That's how they justify funding!!!!

Hello, everyone! HELP! my PC is essentially being held hostage to keep me at my parents house, as I'm planning to move. I need a PC for draw. Due to the urgent need for a new PC, I'm ready to take on complex commissions worth 300$ or more. I would also appreciate your support.

Hi. Fill up the phone lines of valve as well as the paypros please. Thanks. Sooner rather than later preferably.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

petitions are not a silver bullet, but they ARE a powerful point of pressure. far right, puritanical interests got to where they are due to years, if not decades, of grassroots pressure. To fight it, we have to be prepared to do the same. Make your fight sustainable to prepare for a long haul.

another day, another time i sexualise my ocs #oc

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Gonna need cis folk to be extremely vocal and actually take action on this. Things are escalating month by month and it's only going to get harder and harder to rebuild these rights. Act now to protect trans people, do not wait

Archive.org is being sued by record labels and they're asking people to sign this petition to help get the suit dropped. www.change.org/p/defend-the...

Btw i am a disabled author of erotica myself - my newest novel, An Uncommon Betrothal, is a 1920s erotic romance between a gentleman polio survivor and his fat sexy new butler, and there's also a bunch of free-to-read disabled fiction on my website! Www.JohannesTEvans.co.uk/shop

My state government wants to see artists in jail so please sign the petition!! Don't let them win!

there will be trans joy today, tomorrow, and every day after there will be trans friendship, trans growth, trans discovery mornings where trans partners or friends spend time just being together and in that moment there will be trans bliss being trans is not a crime. we are not evil. we are you.

There are state-level online ID bills that can still be stopped! If you are in one of these states, you have the opportunity to make a huge difference!

The feedback due date is tomorrow, so if you haven't filled this out yet, give it a look.

TheGamer continues to be one of the only video game outlets who actually care about the censorship of adult games. Again, utter abdication from the indie press and the bigger names tend to be ignoring the issue www.thegamer.com/paypal-accus...

i'm tried of talking about this, i'm not built to yap online i really just want to post art and run away 🏃‍♂️💨 but here we are. it's week 5 and it's gotten a lot quieter, please keep calling! 🧡

It would be REALLY funny if Visa suddenly got tips from thousands of people reporting every store that has ever carried an official Star Wars movie. Those are just jam-packed with 'non-consentual mutilation of a person or body part', which is apparently against the rules to distribute.

EXACTLY!!! They are in fact ALREADY gearing up to come for VPNs next, so make no mistake a VPN isn't going to save you! They are banking on you assuming that it will, because they think you're exactly stupid and lazy enough to make this easier for them. Stop excusing your negligence!

stop payment processors from censorship by calling them and expressing your distaste & discontent with their restrictions on not only adult content but also queer art - show proof of call and peg or get pegged by a big buff woman (more information and links in replies!) #SaveSpeech

This. I’ve been pushing so hard because it’s NOW. It’s real. It’s coming. Be alarmed, be upset, don’t lose yourself- but understand our position in this fight right now. Don’t wait until the fire is in your front lawn to finally pick up the hose. Dig in. Uplift. We gotta lock in.

Friend just sent me this

If you have any questions for someone, ask! :) You will get an answer to your question faster and even save time 💙

choo choo! If you see this, post a girl with glasses

I haven't drawn in ten days, so to try and get back in the swing of things I drew a bunch of dicks. I think I'm finding my hand again 💕

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

The post with the linked Patreon Survey disappeared on me, so I'll post another link to it: patreon.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Let them know how much you hate Generative AI!

My responses. The biggest complaint here is not to insist on morality, but to demand clarification of critical keywords and link these guidelines to legal definitions. It isn't just for free speech, it is also to make it easier to report genuinely illegal content and have it removed quickly.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI
