Really looking forward to Mandrake. I am not horrified by this creature tho and could be convinced to give it any amount of food if it said "yolf" to me.

Hey as someone who remembers when the UK government did it, I’m pretty sure “realistic risk of death or serious injury” is going to cover shit like face sitting And yes they did ban face sitting porn out of fears that people would do it unsafely irl and break someone’s neck. That actually happened.

I don't think all nsfw content is default value neutral and I wish more people thought critically about what they got off to, just as I wish more people thought critically about everything they consume, but I'm still 100% against anything approaching censorship because I have pattern recognition.

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

Ultimately what you think of “non-con” art and writing fundamentally actually does not matter. This is going to harm people who wanna opt out of seeing noncon art because now it will be posted untagged and labelled “this is consensual they wanna be here”

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

yeah and as an autistic guy who remembers when the argument was seriously made by some folks that autistic adults shouldn’t be allowed to medically transition bc we’re too vulnerable to meaningfully give consent. so yeah, they’ll be gay and they’ll involve disabled ppl too

"You know the Reichstag fire? Where the Nazis, oh that's us in this analogy, they used it as an excuse to take over the government and then start WWII and commit heinous genocide? Yeah that's us right now. It's like the Mitchell & Webb skit except I'm saying we ARE the baddies. Like the Nazis."

leaving conspicuous likes on friends' horny/kink posts without replying like i'm taking notes ominously

Fascism is not to be debated.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Man this highlights to me the biggest issue I had with 7.0 and the patches: Mostly everyone is blissfully ignorant of the fact that these memories *are not* the living. The living person is dead. You cannot transfer your consciousness to data. You can only reconstruct an AI based on your memories.

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

Also the funniest thing that could come out about all this stuff with Mare is if there was no C&D at all, and the dev just wanted out.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

At this rate the best thing that could happen in London would be if the ground opened up and swallowed it, drowning parliament and everyone in it. I, for one, think giant bats would do a marvellous job. They can’t do a worse one.

All of this to say: If you want to keep your plugins, your mods etc. you need to shut the fuck up about them. Stop tagging your gposes with the name of the plugin you use, or the name of the mod pack. Stop advertising the fact that you’re modding, and take it to DMs if someone asks.

Square ⬜

why would SE throw away money by banning Mare They have to. The moment they are able to contact the dev to issue a C&D they have to. If they *can* and they fail to do so, it can be legally regarded as though they've chosen not to, opening them up to liability for whatever happens w/ that mod. 1/?

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Anyway. www.erininthemorning.com/p/gavin-news...

While Elon Musk prepares to sue Apple because he says it’s impossible to get Grok to #1 on the App Store, here’s a picture of me with @bobabria.bsky.social, the sole developer of the app that hit #1 on the App Store yesterday.

If you needed any more reasons not to use Duolingo to learn Japanese or other languages, they're now catering to transphobes.

anyone else log into bsky today exclusively to watch the fandom crash out about mare being hit with the c&d

Is that a sheep 🐑

The biggest mistake you can make in NSFW is thinking that by classifying your work as wholesome, affirming, some other positive adjective, etc and throwing people with the weird and questionable kinks under the bus you will somehow be saved from a normie moderator who's not too fond of queer people.

thank you failbetter games for letting me woo the giant monster space bats in more than one game I love these weirdos so much

I know we're all desperate for anyone at all to fight back against trump, but Newsom's not a hero, here. He's not even a good person. He's a transphobe & actively, proudly destroying tent shelter encampments *With His Own Hands*. This is prime LetThemFight Dot Gif & we get to take down the winner.

Part of this is less to do with the Mastercard saga and more to do with the fact that in some places, even fictional depictions of minors in sexualised situations are outright illegal. It's more a case of bsky likely finding it easier both logistically and financially to ban it outright.

Nobody wants to talk about it but my whole life has been a corporate psyop shifting the burden of saving our burning planet onto me, the consumer trapped in consumerism, when the reality is that my lifetime of recycling is negated by one private flight by Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, or Taylor Swift.

as a trans person one small thing you can do to protect me from jk rowling is not show me every piece of inane violence she spews

The march for Australia on August 31 is a Nazi rally, organised by Nazis. If you’re planning on going to this, you’re planning on going to a Nazi rally.

I heard "Lamaty'i, Sphene, and Zero" and I blacked out and when I woke up I was already halfway through uploading this. #ffxiv #gpose #ffxivscreenshots #lamasphene #lamasphero

About to say something super nerdy but God, I love torts.

Shoutout to whoever put this Sphene in alexandria louisiana I hope ur enjoying 7.3

The oppression of mages stems from the fears of men. Not the will of the Maker. hi dragon age 2 has ruined my life (good) #anders #dragonage #dragonage2
