I stream every single day. Today will be day 265 in a row. I managed that by setting a limit (30 minutes of Just Chatting is good enough) and I don't have a set schedule for anything save my Saturday Fishing streams. I just keep to short streams when I need a "break." It helps.

Reminder: “Fuck off” is a legitimate response to people who are trying to get you to debate your existence.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

sorry i keep being all of the negative on the timeline so often. i mean, other than the *everything* i'm just fucking tired.

IF SOMETHING IS AN ACCESSIBILITY TOOL, DO NOT USE IT FOR JOKES OR TO BE SILLY. FUCK. I will see anyone using alt text to make a joke, doing a "image of text or statement by XYZ", or making a point as maliciously fucking with disabled people.

I published this piece today, on how the binary gender model and enforced gender roles are a model of hierarchical child abuse that punishes everyone but the capitalists who run the system. It would mean a lot if you read it. This link is unpaywalled. Thank you. 💜 medium.com/prismnpen/wh...

Please consider sharing this! It’s so important to highlight Black artists and Indigenous artists. There are still spots open. Seriously, I see other starter packs fill fast; I’d love for this one to be complete. 💔 I want to uplift BIPOC artists.

Bsky was the best of both worlds when it came to NSFW content. If you wanted to see bodice ripping, latex clad porn, you could. If you didn't, you'd block the terms, and your timeline would be cleansed. Now they want to ban what they gave us the tools to curate. Sad, disappointing, and wrong.

Capitalism fucks my life constantly and without consent, what are you planning to do about it, bluesky?

The reason I'm not jumping on that "draw my OC getting fucked" trend is because I'm actually just not cool with being shipped with people I'm not actually with, and jumping on that goes against a boundary I've had for years.

It's not just common courtesy, but not labeling or tagging NSFW content is especially counterproductive right now. It tells the mods that since we can't be trusted to post NSFW responsibly, they have to ban it altogether. That is the opposite of what we want.

I'm all for fighting the censorship, but I feel like a lot of people are doing it the wrong way. I myself draw NSFW, but I don't want to see it in full glory on my tl, not labeled correctly. Right now, I can't even scroll Bsky in public in peace. Label your NSFW art, guys. Respect the viewers.

One of the reasons I don't want to join Mastodon is because I hate that "gated community" feel. I don't want to be part of a HoA IRL, why the fuck would I want to be online? The only way to guarantee entire instances don't get blocked over petty bs would be to host my own. And, well, fuck that.

what fucks me up about the Bluesky TOS update is fucking every adult creator i know wants MORE labels and filter options. we WANT more granular control over the labels and spoilers we can put on our work so people who want to curate their timeline to avoid us CAN DO SO

sorry i keep being all of the negative on the timeline so often. i mean, other than the *everything* i'm just fucking tired.

making and keeping friends just keeps getting harder the older i get. and the more that people walk away because i'm too much of a ball of trauma for them, the worse it gets. i get panic attacks dming people i want to talk to, and i'm just afraid i'm gonna push more people away.

Aight, look, I have my own personal issues with certain types of fictional things, but right now we ain't got time to be splitting hairs. Going "well, maybe banning the one thing isn't so bad" is just giving them the inch they need to take a mile. Stop that shit, it's actually unhelpful af.

holy shit i actually am managing to draw something. it's still just a sketched but i'm actually doing things. i just needed motivation. wish i didn't have to be motivated by censorship but here we are

sitting here BKd for 2 hours because my partner thought it would be good and fun to max out *all* of the checks in RoR2 for Archipelago... No, baby, you don't need 700 checks for our fun one-sitting randomizer, please.

I only started posting NSFW because of censorship. I mean, if I'm gonna be labelled as porn because I'm a fat person, I may as well put porn out there.

I may be a SFW creator, simply because I just want to have a family friendly space for all ages to enjoy--and I prefer to keep that side of me separate from work. But I do stand with NSFW artist and creators. Blackouts don't do shit. The last thing people should do is be silent.

SFW doesn't mean "ew sex is gross y'all are weird". Anyone who knows me personally knows that is JUST not true. I'm very sex-positive and a weirdo (affectionate). We gotta keep making online spaces weird or this will just be Tumblr all over again.

Something we do every month in my Discord is we run 2 Archipelago randomizers every month. Today is this month's synced run. If anyone wanted to come hang out for a bit today, anyone is welcome (even if you don't plan to play)

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

If this happens, I won’t be able to eat for the week because rent is coming up. Not everyone can afford to just walk away from platforms that help them reach their audience, especially not sw and artists like me. This is counterintuitive to helping nsfw creators. Just pay us and keep pushing back.

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

If anyone wants to borrow my OC/vtuber as a subject to draw more porn rn I'm giving permission. Solo only, and they're a shapeshifter so have fun. All I ask is no gore, flag it and alt text it so I can actually share it (I literally just won't until you do)

I block people for unflagged NSFW. You are literally shoving it in my face without my consent, and you are part of the problem. If you want more reach, use hashtags and alt text.

We need to post more titty, not less.

This is literally where I'm at right now. It's why I'm out here yelling at the fucking clouds about the fascism, because my fat fucking mouth is the *only* tool I got, and I am done being calm and walked the fuck all over.

This whole #blueskyblackout2025 thing is not going to work. A handful of people leaving for a couple days will not do anything but exactly what bsky wants you to do: Shut up about the stupid ToS they have. You need to complain on here instead. Be loud. Be present. Be an absolute pain in the ass.

"i'm drawing protest tiddy" just came out of my mouth in a discord call, in case you wanted to know where i'm at

the only thing i can do is keep pushing and stay busy and keep hold of my people. all of this shit is just tiring and idk how much longer i can last, kind of on my last fucking thread and at risk of snapping at any second.

I will say, I do have a Discord server, and folks I'm moots with are welcome to add me. I also have a forum that I started as a backup, and am working on self-hosted VoIP servers.(I'm also lotusenta on a few other things you can add me on, like Revolt) discord.lotusenta.gay thelotuspod.proboards.com

i'm just gonna quote this again. i don't have a lot of nsfw but i got a little. i'll have to make more, i guess #lewdusenta

THIS IS WHAT OPS LOOKS LIKE 📢 Bluesky Blackout is a good case study for how to kill momentum for anti-censorship movements. 🧵

I was just outside. it's actually getting cold and the leaves are turning red. This has been your mountain update.

Feel like I need to make this clear. I will never fucking go back to Twitter. Nazis can lick my fucking taint. Fuck off.

This, this, a hundred times this! My website, right or wrong: if right, to keep right; if wrong, to set right! And let's be for real: if you're response to Bluesky enshittifying is to go back to Nazitter...then were you really a safe person to be around in the first place?

I'm not signing up for a social media site that makes me jump through 50 fucking hoops in order to join. This is why I didn't join Mastodon to fucking begin with. I just want an easy sign up with email and go, I don't want to apply like I'm trying to get a job with them.

I am now down to needing 5 fish to complete the journal on WEBFISHING 100%.

LRP: On April 1st I posted a pic of 2 onions that was in a net bag as a prank for it to look like boobs. I managed to fool the automod since it thought it was exactly that. If it can't tell the difference between onions & tits then why should we trust it to tell the difference between BDSM & Rape?

the only thing i can do is keep pushing and stay busy and keep hold of my people. all of this shit is just tiring and idk how much longer i can last, kind of on my last fucking thread and at risk of snapping at any second.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵
