Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

this is canon to me.

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting

hello! I’m currently more than a year out of a full time job after being laid off + still job hunting, and have recently signed up for snap, folks can support me via my shop or via kofi: shop: michiums.bigcartel.com kofi: ko-fi.com/michiums

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

MARACTUS BIRTHDAY!!!!!

how it feels writing text for interacting with every object in an optional area that the average player probably won't read

IMPORTANT PSA: If you had stumbled upon this Bluesky Support account on Discord, IT IS A SCAMMER.

This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care. It's a de-facto ban. Call your congressmen.

Hi I just need 150 left to cover my rent I'm gonna be a bit late with the payment but it should be okay still...

hey so i am literally not joking when i say you either have solidarity with the trans people in your community and nationwide or there is a decent chance we will die after being disappeared . like if you're cis you need to realize it's your voice that now speaks the loudest. defend us loudly.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Im gonna be taking in some Commission for upcomming rent if anyone wanting some commission or be able to retweet thatll be wonderful!!

Just a reminder and warning if some of you never got DMs like this: It's a famous scam tactic to gather infos from you. Saddly those DMs comes from people you follow that got hacked. Best is to report those. I checked my Twitter fast and got like 20+ of those, they really want to hack me too.

@thegrayfruit.bsky.social hey, is there any way i can dm you to ask you a quick question? you said something pretty sus and i want to make sure it wasn't in bad faith

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling. Don’t stop calling.

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.

PSA: Be wary of claims that the "Fair Access To Banking Act" in the US Congress right now is on the side of affected creators having NSFW content pulled. This bill is not in support of creators. www.tumblr.com/lylarose72/7...

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.

⚠️PSA ABOUT SCAMMERS There's been an uptick in impersonators who target users with easily swappable handles (i's for l's, o's for 0's, varying repeated letters, etc) They will always 1) block the original artist 2) target users who have replied with interest, either thru QRPs, replies, or DMs (+)

Re: the artist I blocked, I'm going to name names because this is NOT okay. This is the alt of mes0melas/StudioKerberos/BlackBackedJackal, where she is threatening to send ICE after an immigrant. This type of behavior in our own community is not to be tolerated. ICE and fascism are a threat to all.

THE TRANS MEDICAID BAN HAS BEEN STRUCK BY THE PARLIAMENTARIAN!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY AND NEVER STOP FIGHTING!!!! www.madycast.com/p/senate-par...

Warning anyone who uses paypal for business Starting feb 1st Paypal will dox you if someone can correctly guess your email. Log into paypal go to your invoice settings and change all the info to "Hide From Recipients" www.paypal.com/invoice/s/se...

"OMG MARIOS A MONSTER!!!!"

bluesky's block is basically nuclear and the algo actually seems to suppress people if they get blocked by 100000 people (unlike twitter where blocking people suppresses YOU) so just block any dumb rw guy lol bsky.app/profile/mala...

this is a good time to remember that conservatives only ever want to be in more left leaning spaces to get reactions out of people, if enough people block them they’ll get bored and leave
