Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

This goes into that “deprofessionalization” of the game industry article that went around a few months ago. People who don’t understand the work or care about the value of the people doing the work or honestly even care about quality at all. They just want to not have to pay workers.

You liked, we listened... We took our popular post on how to talk to your kids about banned books and expanded it into a full-length article packed with tips, talking points, and book suggestions your family can actually use. freedomtoreadproject.org/how_to_talk_to_your_kids_about_banned_books

“authors & publishers who filed a lawsuit against the Sam Altman-led firm have secured access to internal Slack messages… discussing the mass deletion of a pirated books dataset… A NY district court ordered OpenAI to hand over the communications regarding data deletion” futurism.com/artificial-i...

The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice. I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶

The good news: KS is very open about what can happen, and they still approved the project. The bad new: Stripe can at any point withhold owed money. They are essentially stealing. Today its an nsfw project, tomorrow a queer one, and after?

The fact a payment processor can make moral judgments is wild. I know MasterCard etc have already done shit like this, that's wild too. Like your job is to process payments. Not be a moral thought police.

Utterly insane that a payment processor of all things has this amount of clout. Your job is literally to process money people have willingly paid for an item or service. It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not. That’s irrelevant to your function as a payment processor

it's almost like I can see the future or something

I have thoughts about the new svsss content. I was thinking about Cumplane when they first go back into the og world. I think they would be devastated. #cumplane

greeted by absolutely ~charming~ (/s) news in my e-mail this morning. anyone else try to launch an NSFW project on Kickstarter recently? myth of consensual sex, ffs. (good news is, they approved the project, sigh.)

My mom was telling me yesterday how she went to one of the pro-trans rallies in NYC and he was there and gave a speech and how that sold her on him (I have a trans kid, one of mom's only 2 grand kids. Mom does not fuck around when it comes to voting only for folks who support trans rights). #uspol

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

I'm absolutely over the moon about Mamdani, and pleased with the results across the board (tho some Dem infighting in my local elections did not end as I'd have wanted, sigh). I try not to talk much politics here. I figure if y'all's dashes are like mine you're seeing plenty. :D #uspol

What October lacks in theme, it more than makes up for in quality sapphic book releases. This month was well-rounded with excellent new releases by notable sapphic authors such as Chloe Michelle Howarth, Alexandria Bellefleur, Tasha Suri, and Tamara Jerée, among others... 🌈📚

"oooo i'd draw that but i can't draw" brother get this through your head NOBODY can draw we are literally ALL BULLSHITTING

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website. Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

really frustrating that i take ibuprofen with my mouth to treat my headache, and instead of just getting to work, it has to go all the way down to my stomach, then all the way back up to my brain. dumb, inefficient setting. mouth is so close to brain. just take the direct route damn it!

I chatted about this w some other writers recently and I explained that seriously, if you hate socmed and all you're gonna do is advertise, you might as well not use the socmed. An account that's just shilling books won't sell books. And there should be more to one's life than "sell books" anyway!

#uspol Oh that's bonkers and awesome. Central NY is weirdly stupidly conservative, I was in Binghamton for 5 years and it always confused me. From what I can tell through paywalls everything stayed about the same here in the Capital Region.

Woot woot! It's the final countdown!! The zine is coming tomorrow. Get ready for the best kind of food!
