Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

Okay... I've wanted to start streaming for a while, but kept getting in my head about it or distracted. It would certainly be a variety type stream, some drawing, some games, and Im not really good at talking to myself so sometimes it would be some copyright free music and vibes...

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!

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

If you want to push back against censorship, here’s some actions to take. Censoring *yourself* is not the way. Please listen to those who are most affected (nsfw artists) and what they’re asking us to do which is not to be silent!

A week long "black out" is not a good idea. Talked about it with some pals, and all it really does is make room for people who DO agree with censorship to take up more space. Instead of leaving for a week, consider complaining to @support.bsky.team every single day to make your displeasure know!

that endless feeling (for too long now)

Sorry, but if you can't differentiate fiction from reality, that's a problem with your media literacy - not a problem with the creator behind the fiction you're consuming.

I asked all my very fake super fictional and overall not real characters and they said they super duper consent to all the weird shit that happens to them.

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM PORNOGRAPHERS HAVE YOUR BACK DO YOU HAVE THEIRS?

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

If you can’t separate fiction from reality then you’re not mature enough to be consuming said fiction Please grow a brain

I also hate that I'm being babied on the internet I know what I want to look at and I know what not to look at. I block and I make my own safe space. Every time, it feels patronising. I use content labels and I make use of muted words. I don't need to be babied. I don't need an algorithm!!

Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see. Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Man, I desperately need to find a way to refocus on the things I enjoy in life -- like being here and talking to people, and doing art. I wish my brain didnt always get so bored or distracted so easily... makes trying to keep consistent with socials haaaaaard.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

There’s likely an organized campaign going on to incite you to say stuff that’s gonna get you suspended or banned (or worse). The right has mentioned the Bluesky reaction to this incident repeatedly. They’re here to find targets. Don’t let them rile you up and goad you into something you’ll regret.

Goodnight.

I dont even wanna think how long I vanished for here... time really just vanished on me recently for some reason

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

Vigorously tapping this article with a pointer, FUCKING LEARN

If your in texas call or email your reps and tell them to repeal texas senate bill SB 20. (you can use 5calls . com to find the phone numbers of your reps). Flooding their phone lines does way more than a change . org petition, so if you have the spoons, do both!

I’m sorry the situation doesn’t seem to be getting any more stable yet. It truly isn’t, and probably won’t be for a real long while. I’m sorry. GoFundMe: gofund.me/e0e5efae Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/winterhartarts Commissions (Ko-Fi): ko-fi.com/winterhartar... (17/17)

Templates cause I hate struggling to find templates for fun challenges I see others do lol I don’t think transparent PNG’s work on bsky, so the second picture might literally just be a white square, so I put the colored one too just in case. #the_color_wheel

I mean it, fellow Americans: call your reps about this. It seems small in the short run, but this is going to fuck up businesses, especially small ones, big time.

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.

Portugal now stopped shipping to the US ✌️ as a small business owner let me tell you, this is huge, most of my clients were from the US and now I'm not getting ANY orders if you'd like to support me, and you're not from the US, you can buy anything and use code "3XGXW" at checkout for 10% off ✨
