Trying out a new coloring technique

trust us bro #myart #nudity #censorship

This here is very important to be aware of. It isn't just about porn. It is about ANYTHING the government, payment processors or (more simply) people with an agenda think could be an issue for them in any way. 1/5

This is quite literally the easiest way you can send a letter directly to CA legislators on an active bill moving through the legislature, and we need you to let them know you support this! It will take you less than 2 minutes to do so. SIGN IT & SHARE IT RIGHT NOW bit.ly/46hu5E4

doodle. write poems you never show anyone. make banana bread. take pictures of birds. grow a plant. the goal isn’t to build job skills or “become a creative” it’s to just fool around and experience yourself and the world around you

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Per usual, excellent work by @samleecole.bsky.social digging into Collective Shout, Steam, and the anti-porn lobbyist crusade www.404media.co/steam-itchio...

Paypal and Stripe already have such a grip on how you and I can spend money online, consider mailing them about these most recent changes they've introduced.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

I think we are on the same page 🤝 It's doing the action thats important. While we can't banish how something is making us feel, taking action that feels as if we've helped the situation is a very well-studied remedy for anxiety.

if you aren't watching CITY the animation you're missing some of the most joyful and interesting animation ever made, i'm SO blown away by it

Yoooo the new symbol of resistance picked by Indonesian's against govt repression is the strawhats pirate flag from one piece. Oh hell yeah.

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

The threat of having to submit your ID to speak online is chilling, especially as we’re watching ideological capture and capitulation play out across traditional media and institutions. And it’s particularly gutting that sex workers and digital rights activists have been sounding alarms for years

do not upload your photo to any ID verification service to BROWSE THE INTERNET i am being so serious id much rather buy a vpn. learn how to pirate. this data is so obviously going to be used in nefarious ways

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Wet dreams of people at power never change. They only wait for the right moment of less resistance. Let's prove it's not that moment. Not now, not ever.

GAME, the German game industry trade association, released this *damn* good statement on the unjust NSFW game takedowns www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Please do the reviews! If it becomes known that taking the call and speaking gets you a five star review they WILL continue to take them. If you don’t want to leave a five star please don’t leave a review at all. Management treats 4.5s and 1s the same.

Help itch.io continue to do good - go tell the relevant payment processors that we don't want payment processors imposing some puritanism on games. This has to be a line we hold as a medium - sex, sexuality, and sexual identity always get attacked first: everything else will come next.

Keep calling Visa. It’s working.

How it must feel rn... In all seriousness keep it up! If they ask you to e-mail instead, don't stop calling! If they hang up on you, don't stop calling! If they assured you that the issue's been addressed already, don't stop calling! Be polite! Be stern! Be annoying! #SaveSpeech

My first animated commission, shout outs to my man Dawud Anyabwile creator of the critically acclaimed Brotherman comic book. I hope it really conveys that saturday morning cartoon vibe. We really wanted to push the angles on this one. #blackheroes #90shiphop #city #graffiti

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

so when i was calling earlier, the mastercard supervisor mentioned something like, 8000 calls that they've gotten over the weekend. Just wanna say keep it up, keep up the good work, i'll continue to do my part. Let's make 2025 the year of not rolling over anymore

Kevin McLeod, who for 20 years has been the "royalty-free music guy" online, has just launched a new website where other composers will also be offering royalty-free music for anyone to use in their projects: freepd.com

when attempting to take action on a problem, you may be tempted to treat anyone you speak to at a company like the enemy but sometimes, the reality is that you have allies everywhere, and you are empowering them to act raise your troubles; they are ammunition for good people

All my commissions will be closed temporarily due to my current tablet broke from a bad USB-C port. Working on getting a new tablet in either August or September. I will open commissions in October. #updates #commissions

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works stop-paypros.neocities.org

Action for Australian folks: register a concern about Collective Shout's wrongful listing as a charity, do so on the Australian Charity and Non-Profit Commission website Collective shout's profile + ABN: www.acnc.gov.au/charity/char... Raise a concern with the ACNC: www.acnc.gov.au/raise-concern

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵

Someone put together an awesome Google Doc with as much info piled together as possible docs.google.com/document/d/1...

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

We had our much needed break and now we need to catch up on what’s happening in the community!! ⬇️SHARE YOUR INDIE ANIMATION UPDATES DOWN BELOW⬇️

We're getting ready to start production for @skylarrocksoff.bsky.social And Some new stuff is being prepared for next Indie Animation Day that we can't wait to share soon enough!

Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States. “I’ll finish this thing or die trying.”

Only a few days left for #Artfight oh no!!! Just started a job, so I'm delayed lol.

Hey guys! Today is my B-DAY (36 already 🫠) so I would like to ask you for some reposts of this little sneak peek of my art! Thank you all!!! #illustration #art #fantasy #scify #warhammer #bloodborne #lordoftherings #doomthedarkages

Her crystals creep deep, damaging the integrity of one's ichor structure, leaving a wake of destruction that corrodes throughout. #WorldofRelics #objectxenofiction #worldbuilding #fantasy #art A ruination that finds no cure by any measure.

I'll be uploading my second background people can use for their background paint portfolios this weekend! eyecager.gumroad.com

character design is my passion
