Had a new experience calling payment processors today. The agent who answered the phone, Neil, recognized me immediately. I felt the need to apologize that he was the one STILL answering calls like this, but I made my voice clear. It's been nearly 2 months, and I'll KEEP calling. Stay loud.

Start putting their feet to the fire again.

Guys, I have a theory...

EU folks! Contact your MEPs and denand they oppose Chat Control! The link below has a section that lets you find your MEP! fightchatcontrol.eu#member-states

Everyone: "You are learning 3D, you know abit of animation, you know how to make videos, you stream, you art, why don't we see more from you?" Hollowed looking Enigma: "Ask anyone who has ADHD" Everyone: "ADHD? Why ADHD?" Enigma: "... yes" If you know, then you know~

In the wake of the last few days news and the blood and suppression the GOP is calling for, you would think democrats would be thinking twice about section 230 and the tools they would be handing over with KOSA

Excellent article by @eurogamer.bsky.social. Fantastic work & a model for how other games outlets & games journalists should be covering this issue. Please read it and share widely. It's giving a voice to many developers often left unheard on paypro censorship www.eurogamer.net/queer-develo...

This petition has been struggling to get as many signatures as the anti-paypros one, and its hovering around 3.9k atm If you signed the anti-paypros petition as a canadian, i implore you, please sign this one too! C-2 is bad news!

Holy crap! There's an ACTUAL NUMBER for PayPal in this! PayPal is NOTORIOUS for never giving out numbers!!! This is pure gold!

Also worth mentioning regarding the Visa/PayPal/Stripe/etc situation, They're basically saying you aren't allowed to buy Sonic games and media either with these downright oppressive rules they put in place. We need to hit them HARD with as much damage and outrage as possible in EVERY direction.

This is one of those things btw where calling/mailing VISA et al and being as willfully dense as possible is an amazingly good idea. Bring up everything you own that falls under the category 'fantasy.' Bring up everything you own with cat ears. Be a pedantic little fuck about ALL of it.

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

I see this reducing in reposts - this situation never went away. You may have seen a lot of people posting about it and some inroads made and thought " yeah things will turn out alright" Unfortunately no. we actually do have to keep holding their feet to the fire until they deliver.

Literally everything below, PLEASE CALL!! Prohibiting "Fantasy" is actual fucking INSANITY

We're nearly 1/4 of the way through. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate you all for what you've done for me so far. I'm still keeping at work on my end. If you're ABLE to, any support still means a lot. Just don't put yourself in financial trouble. I ain't passing my struggles to others.

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

IMPORTANT PSA: If you had stumbled upon this Bluesky Support account on Discord, IT IS A SCAMMER.

I saw all our videos bomb and could not find out why despite a LOT of searching and contemplation. Turns out, YouTube threw a killswitch on ALL OF YOUTUBE called Restricted Mode, and it keeps you from seeing the VAST MAJORITY OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. Check your YT account & turn off Restricted Mode!!

Just want everyone to know how much I appreciate you all spreading this around. I also greatly appreciate all my clients on my queue for being as patient and understanding as they are, even if I honestly feel like I don't deserve it. It can be rough when you can only work with what you got.

Cross-posting this post from @vinny.vinesauce.com to here in case any viewers of him haven't been getting uploads from him and are curious as to why.

Upcoming SM64CoopDX color combiner stuff, basically making the vanilla playable characters more accurate to their original models.

Before I forget again, I ported Valoo's avatar in several things for those of you that want that sort of thing. VRChat (WIP): vrchat.com/home/avatar/... VRM: mega.nz/file/rochiAB... VSFAvatar: mega.nz/file/e19VXB4... SFM (WIP): mega.nz/file/P5FyxRJ... Blender (WIP): mega.nz/file/64NVWRT...

[ s i g h ] Despite how hard I'm trying to get everything done, it's clear I'm starting to run out of time. I'm still not done. I'm sorry, everyone. I hate that I have to do this again. #mutualaid #financialaid ko-fi.com/meelezz If you can and are willing, any help is appreciated.

Fellow Canadians, now is our chance to take action against these payment processors. Takes only a few minutes to fill out and complete! I'm getting really tired of the censorship and discouragement.

Keep calling your paypros and legislators about this! Do not stop fighting!

They went from banning porn to full blown authoritarian overwatching over everything. Just like we said they would :)

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Hey europeople, did you email/call your MEPs telling them to stop chat control yet? You can get help with your arguments, help with writing your email and find contact info at fightchatcontrol.eu

hey peeps i REALLY need you to mail your representatives. do it right now, actually.

HEY YOU! FELLOW FURRY PORN ENJOYERS!! If YOU don't want to lose access to your FAVORITE porn artists' content, you NEED to voice your worries N O W Do your daily phone calls, tell them why this is wrong! Be vocal, be LOUD Most importantly, support your 18+ creators!! By @/dieselbrain.bsky.social

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

Valoo and all his finer details from Wind Waker are rather hard to get right within N64 aesthetics, especially his tail... Although I didn't expect it at the time, folks REALLY loved the original mod I made that would end up kick-starting a friend's voice acting carrier. So I guess it's update time!

#SaveSpeech 🚨If you're in Europe, remember to contact your EU representatives to tell them you are OPPOSED to chat control.🚨 Even if your country's already against this, contact them anyway! Contact your reps: fightchatcontrol.eu Help stop Chat Control: www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/cha...

Make sure youre doing your dailies!!!

Kinksters, furries, artists: now's your last chance to voice your concerns. DEADLINE is August 28!

This is why you keep at these motherfuckers with your calls. Do. Not. Stop.

Paypros still haven't receded. We need to keep exhausting them until they give up. Letting them win wouldn't be the death of just furries but the entirety of the internet will be controlled by paypros if we let this slide.

Fun fact about Hedgehogs: they can purr when they feel happy. Fun fact about myself: I have phantom sense for purring and a little tail that I sometimes feel like I'm pinching depending on how I sit in chairs. I heard that tends to happen with folks that have lots of empathy? Anyways... Sonic Party!

Public PSA. Please repost so this reaches others. Your accounts are at risk. Do NOT respond to DM's that start with "Hi, do you have a minute?" or "Hello, are you busy at the moment?" They're hacked accounts. Do NOT add them on Discord under any circumstance. Report them, they are exploiting. +

GameCube Mario Party modding is becoming more and more of a possibility, so I'm putting together a playable Sonic!

RED ALERT PEOPLE THEY'RE JUST DOING IT START GETTING ON THEIR ASSES ABOUT IT CALL CALL CALL

Add FADPA, ACPA and BlockBEARD to your list of bills youre telling your federal representatives to oppose alongside KOSA, IODA and the SCREEN Act Remember you can just tell them "oppose these bills!". No need to say more unless you want to! Keep it simple! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Keep calling. This issue can't die. It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo. The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!

Something simple and wholesome I commissioned from @canson.bsky.social to help them out financially at the time. Valoo and Kass are both rather lovable fatherly figures in Zelda, right? (This was done awhile back, just took me a bit to gather the courage and clean up a few missing details is all!)

Ok here are our goals for the time being: -Email Youtube/ Google and tell them to backtrack on this AI thing. -Call Reps to shut down KOSA or else a free internet is dead - Keep calling Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and Stripe until they fully reverse their decisions on their ends

It was only a matter of time, but Canada has joined the censorship bandwagon with Bill S-209. Sign the petition, call your MPs, raise hell. www.change.org/p/stop-bill-...

just a reminder that while signing the petition is important, PLEASE don’t donate through change dot org 💀 donations through change pretty much never go to the petition creator, please donate through their own donation page instead archive.org/donate

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-. Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure. Keep it up

incredibly happy to see Valve being this terse and no nosense about this the calls and emails are WORKING and this is 100% the sign to keep at it
