I do not take any criticism of anyone that essentially boils down to "this person is pretentious" / "this person should tone themselves down" much less when that person is an artist, a writer, a poet, whose invisible labor is mocked and belittled at every fucking turn

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.

New TOS censorship of fictional adult content is a massive overreach and makes this definitively not a free and open platform. It demonizes survivors and silences artists. Everyone is telling you a much healthier way is to give us better tools, like more robust labels, to moderate ourselves

Today we’re delighted to welcome The Twelvelms Conspiracy, a new show from @hangingsloth.bsky.social to the #RQNetwork! Cyan doesn't belong at a university for mages but he is allowed to enrol with one condition: he keeps the circumstances of his admittance a secret... rustyquill.com/show/the-twe...

also it breaks my heart how many people may be forced to trot out their past trauma to have their work legitimized in front of a jury of platform mods. I'm a private person about my actual life and it sickens me. Literally over my dead body to appease people who don't actually care about me

If you're screaming about TOS changes and haven't screamed into the feedback form yet, you should do that!

🔔 NEW KOMIKS: “The Existential Horrors of a Mundane Adulthood” by @robcham.bsky.social A comic about the true horrors we face day to day: taxes, relationships, rent! How will we survive? The answers aren't here! 📚: komiks.space/the-existential-horrors-of-a-mundane-adulthood #readkomiks

Doodle of another nightmare

"Consent" is such a loaded term that it can immediately reframe "discomfort" into "harm"; in a time when trans women get pedojacketed over the stupidest shit & any person of color can be dehumanized over being labeled "degenerates" and "perverts". We need people to Get a grip

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

Today is here and I hope we can all stay safe out there 🇵🇭

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...

these are all actual headlines from the washington post. you can literally track the rightwing ideological shift over time towards supporting billionaires & transphobia.

there was this whole era around 2018-2019 where queer artists were nailed to the damn wall for writing anything edgier than a children's cartoon and when people pointed out GRRM they'd be like "our community should hold ourselves to higher standards" like congrats on hamstringing yourself I guess

People arguing what the canary in the coalmine was about American fascism... It's the genocide against Palestine. It's BEEN the genocide. The only reason some people don't want to admit it's BEEN the genocide is because they'd have to pinpoint Joe Biden as the source, not Trump.

this platform has labeled me in shorts and a crop top as “explicit sexual content” and then taken weeks to fix that label. they can’t even tell the difference between a bare tummy and hardcore porn, how are they claiming to be able to even recognize *any* distinctions within adult content!

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

And some more layouts/poses for the Hades 2 trailer for The Line and @supergiantgames.bsky.social

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/🧵

"simulated non consent" is explicitly consensual activity, mind you. They're banning consensual sexual activity if it involves any elements of BDSM or any level of spice above cuddling.

putting this on your timeline again

wiser people are making better posts about this now but blanket banning *fictional* depictions of noncon and any weird sex shit also makes all your favorite artists make worse, riskless and less interesting work, including yours truly -

As someone who grew up Catholic (real Catholic not American Catholic) there's a reason the #1 sin Jesus hated most was HYPOCRISY. Not taking God's name in vain, not adultery, not theft. Hypocrisy. "[Hypocrites] are like whitewashed tombs. Within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness"

With how many people from the US order the Monster Anthology books and how crazy the tariffs are, I wonder if it'd be wiser to run the Kickstarter as digital only until everyone has a better idea of how deliveries will look like. Any thoughts from other Kickstarter people with physical products?
