A pic of kuma! for @torage777.bsky.social !

Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Overwhelmed? Scared to make a website? Feel the pressure to do it NOW but also do it RIGHT? Don't panic. I've made a super simple guide on domains, hosting, and even how to make a simple website landing page. marquisdeclaude.com/buildasite/

ive been offline lately...wym bsky banning noncon? 🤡

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: 🧵

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

I genuinely feel bad for the kind of people who never fully grasp that mature and darker subject matter has to actually contain moral complexity and a slightly bleak conclusion rather than mere aesthetics of "sex, violence, swearing." Imagine being an adult in your 'just read a Deadpool comic' era.

Reminded me of one of the best posts of all time

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art. It's never just about pornographic films.

I just discovered Playboy model Nereyda Bird. I decided to share he beauty with my favorite photos (so far) of her.

this is my fucking kryptonite.

Lothlórien - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper I wish I had time to get back to my Tolkien series, these are so much fun. 💙 Prints on saIe for a bit longer! 💙

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

This is one of the reasons I left Patreon. I had a place where I posted unsavory drawings (blood, non-con, dub-con, etc) and I spoilered and tagged each one so people could decide if they wanted to look at it. I got an email from them about it.

Remember! Petitions are worth signing and sharing around! They communicate our numbers and big numbers scare corpos!

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

The biggest mistake you can make in NSFW is thinking that by classifying your work as wholesome, affirming, some other positive adjective, etc and throwing people with the weird and questionable kinks under the bus you will somehow be saved from a normie moderator who's not too fond of queer people.

Can't even count the amount of thanks I've received from anonymous women for drawing their exact fantasy lol. People can be deeply embarrassed or anxious of enjoying certain kinks so seeing them out there is a relief

something i tried today that seemed to get good mileage was using the "hey i saw this statement by Visa that said:-" as an opener, and then segueing it into "and i bring that up because i want to buy (mainstream thing that technically is against their content policy. ex: GoT)"

If someone brings up drama about someone you know, remember you're not in highschool anymore. Reach out to the person and get clarity instead of believing it outright. People will lie or share misinformation without even realizing.

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself! And keep on calling/mailing! stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money www.congress.gov/members/find...

Facing backlash and mounting pressure, Mastercard denies responsibility for adult content bans — despite evidence and industry responses suggesting otherwise. Your calls are working. Keep it up. buff.ly/PF3MTZj

Adding on: Many (like Suzanne here, Diesel, yours truly and innumerable others) keep repeating this sentiment because despite best efforts and a fight spanning DECADES, A push of this size, to this much effect, has literally Never Happened Before. Ever! They are TERRIFIED of you! KEEP BARKING.

Sure, Mastercard... Let's look at the 2022 study "The Impact of Mastercard's Adult Content Policy on Adult Content Creators" www.researchgate.net/publication/...

incredibly happy to see Valve being this terse and no nosense about this the calls and emails are WORKING and this is 100% the sign to keep at it

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative *now* because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave: a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. *now*. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. *now*. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

Hello! Are you a digital smut peddler! Do you make games, art, comics, books, or other kinds of kink or adult themed material that you sell? I'd like to talk to you!!! Please get at me via any of the contacts in my bio and please boost!

if your use of paypal is primarily as a customer or otherwise are NOT somebody that makes a living off adult work, you are the best people to pressure paypal! there is a risk of retaliation for adult creators, but if you don't have that risk, please call!

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves. CALL THEM

I feel we need to remind everyone that this all started just a few days ago, we haven't even been calling for a week and they're already at the "Hanging up because they can't take it anymore" stage. Keep calling

along with making my calls to Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and Paypal; I am emailing various local news orgs to try and get the story out. Both local, national, and international journalism companies are starting to take notice of our movement. Keep kicking y'all!
