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!

I turn 33 nexr week. That means you maybe have one more year to hire me before I'm a withered old person.

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

Hire me for your comics writing gigs, friends!

Packing books up now! Leftover sale coming soon!

I made a few short, sharable info posts about the things that're going on (mostly here in the U.S.) that I think people need to be paying attention to and fighting for. Trans rights, fighting against censorship, fighting for a free Palestine, fighting against all the oppressive policies in place.

The ultimate expression of cartoon sex on Bluesky. Watto & ALF jerkin' each other off. #bskycensorship Use the feedback button to tell Bluesky to listen to its users and not capitulate to real or imagined external pressures to censor the creators on this site.

Over the past few years, a lot of the comics stuff I've been writing has been NSFW. It's the majority of my independent output recently. I have an NSFW comic & prose Onlyfans. I have a page on my site for it. www.davidmariotte.com/18 I have a whole ass alt account. This matters to me.

I left a 1 star review on the app store explaining how disappointed i was with their updated adult content policy. I highly recommend doing so yourself too!

💖 Hi~ I've recently been hired as Illustration & Creative Lead at The Story Division, helping publishers with graphic novel projects. I'm currently updating our artist database & looking for a wider range of art styles. Cartoonists: post sequentials, website, availability below. No DMs/emails plz!

20 Days left on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter! Today, I figured I'd share the colored version of the short, 5-page comic I wrote for The sparkFLAME Anthology from earlier this year -- with lineart by @mikeluckas.bsky.social and colors by @loopyyylupe.bsky.social! (Pages 1 and 2)

We're at 91 points! 109 to go! Post Your Letters! Don't Stop Calling! <3 #SaveSpeech

Let's talk #bskycensorship. Here's some snippets from the new TOS. Short version: They made the language more clear and specific (did they?), some adult & violent content is allowed, and there are exceptions for journalism, education, advocacy, and "analysis". But what does that actually mean?

Posting some Greek dicks... for no particular reason

Please read this. I was brought to tears of hope and processing our reality. Dont give up. Survive. We will thrive again in the sun together.

Signed. Fuck ICE, free Palestine, end fascism.

getting unbearably close to this last stretch goal, hot damn, get your books, spread the word!! zoop.gg/c/irovedouti...

I just think that people should know what they're in for if they sign up

hey if you're someone interested in flatting/coloring comics, this is a great resource. very few people know how to do it correctly, and it's not difficult but it IS more technically intensive than most people assume! these are useful skills!

So, please, take some time to help. Give feedback to Bluesky. Make some calls. Send some letters. Send some faxes. Send emails too. Things'll only change with pushback.

Since I lost my job over the summer, I've been able to devote more time to these projects and I've got some really exciting stuff coming up. I'm also seeing--daily--more and more censorship. #bskycensorship. From paypros, credit card companies & banks, from states & the Federal govt. It blows.

If you want to make comics about the dangers of censorship, or about just like sexy stuff that's at risk of being censored, hit me up. My editorial bandwidth is limited, but if there's a project I can help out on--serious or fun--I want to put the effort and time into things that matter to me & you

Last thing I'll say for the moment while you scroll through all the stuff I've shared about how to respond to #bskycensorship & censorship at large. If there's anything else I can do, lemme know. I'll promote your project and account and commissions and whatever. I'll send more letters & emails.

read a #comic, support a comic, share a comic REPEAT!! Also BIG Note: Support artists whether its a like, comment or maybe support their shop. Be kind, be respectful but most importantly know that you care and they are doing a great job!

As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

Want to read ethically by ditching Audible/Amazon, Spotify, &c? 💙📚 1. Your local library needs support & has free physical & audiobooks 2. Queer Liberation Library: free digital library for US LBGTQ folks 3. Libro.fm: Audible but pays indie bookshops 4. Bookshop.org: physical books from indies

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

It’s time to check the USAID cut death toll. It’s over half a million now.

Yall. Seriously. Send them a message about what you think. Ive done it w others and they DO roll back changes people hate. It just takes a few minutes and you dont need to sound pretty! "This change benefits no one, and will harm bsky's reputation" is typically what i go with. Copy paste if u want!

so this isnt deportation this is disappearing people

It's funny (derogatory) that while my icons on my two accounts currently match and are the exact same image, for the one that's explicitly an NSFW account, Bluesky is censoring my own profile picture. Neither one is sexual and, again...both accounts are mine.

Hey, trying to explain Online Censorship to people who arent in the nsfw scene or who arent as online as you are, and need some help? This video is actually a really great primer on the current situation, and why we have to develop an absolutist stance on free speech for EVERYONE's sake.

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

There is a direct, traceable path from major social media sites & wide use websites introducing (or being forced into) censorious anti-NSFW policies to larger scale state censorship, like Michigan attempting to label Trans existence as porn, and porn as criminal. Lives and livelihoods are at stake.

I’m thinking back and trying to remember what work it was specifically that really opened my mind to erotica as a legitimate genre of storytelling. It had to have been a doujinshi or a manga of some kind, I think comics are just too much work for intent like that to NOT come through on the page.

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead! Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship Demand bsky listen to its users

Don’t like something? YOU block or mute the tag/words Someone posts without tagging? YOU block or mute the account See @bsky.app , we CAN moderate ourselves! You gave us the tools! We don’t need/want YOUR vague interpretation of nsfw! #blueskycensorship

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship
