KEEP THOSE CALLS COMING IN!

From D. L. Mayfield:

Here is the finished comic, which is available as an 11x17" print in my store.

You can read the conclusion of Coffee Buns in the latest Early Access release! We've got more development and story, but you can now read the culmination of Leo's story of self-discovery! It's bound to be a smooth ride, right? www.patreon.com/posts/139291...

me: making art is difficult. criticism is harsh and cruel. doctor: treatment is simple, stay away from your worst critics. go spend time by yourself me, bursting into tears: but doctor,

btw I contacted my MP about this and I urge any other Canadians following me to do the same. Even putting aside government face scans, the language this bill uses to define terms like "pornographic material" is distressingly vague. Here's a good video going into more detail about why Bill Bad.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

this canadian petition is currently sitting at #2 those open for signature. out of ALL petitions, even ones that are closes, it is the 9th most signed the current petition with the most signatures is sitting at 39k. i think we should aim to beat that number www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

Unlikely as it is to pass, I think maybe it'd be good to scream at your representative that you don't want people who view pornography to be on a sex offenders registry

Doing my weekly anti-censorship letter mailout ✉️👍 bit by bit, we’ll win this fight!!!

shadow over innsmouth but instead of the people in the town turning into fish creatures all of the men in the town are turning into women. ends with the narrator realizing he's turning into into a woman and.. oh god.. he... he's starting to LIKE it...

Think its stupid that VISA and Mastercard think something as innocent as Cat Ear accessories are a bannable offense? Then heres something you can do about it. Complain to visa and MC, call your representatives. Advocate for porn, whole heartedly.

payment processors are assaulting people on so many fronts right now, harming many creators so much more than me, and threatening to shut down more every day. remember that the fight is ongoing, and if you can, call your reps, badger the payment processors. stop-paypros.neocities.org

Credit card companies’ censorship of video games is thriving on people’s lack of awareness, Japanese politician says "You can’t tell who's regulating what, or for what purpose. Most people don’t perceive how serious a threat that is" automaton-media.com/en/news/cred...

Visa hit me with the "we've given you everything, so we're hanging up now" But you know what? I just redialed and spent more time on the phone with a different agent. Payment Processors do not want to hear our opinions, but they're out of luck. Keep calling, and tell them you're not backing down.

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS: An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

‼️Stop Payment Processors enacting censorship, SHARE THESE, I know you can bump those numbers up! Canada has only 7.5k signatures: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... UK has only 5k signatures: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... Australia (has only 4k signatures): www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

a better world is pawssible

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.

Don't get complacent just because Canada, Australia, and the UK has petitions going around right now (look at my feed for the link) we in the US need to do our part and keep the pressure on them and our own reps both to kill the bills currently in Congress we can do it! #SaveSpeech

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

I'm gonna use this blatant example of someone purchasing adult goods being banned to springboard and say: Now, more importantly than ever, if you are an NSFW creator using any payment provider for invoicing, you must be CAUTIOUS to NOT INCLUDE ANY TERMS that would single you out as an NSFW artist.

So it turns out Meta is willing to train their database on TG fetish fiction

Another chapter of the Red Ring is coming THIS FRIDAY! Get hype! The comic will be released first on WeChange, so if you haven't made an account there yet now's the time! wechange.me/blackshirtboy

CANADA, UK, AUSTRALIA!! y'all all have official petitions targetting paypros censorship! IF YOU LIVE IN THESE COUNTRIES, SHARE THESE AROUND AND SIGN THEM ASAP. And verify by email! CAN www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... UK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... AUS www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

The first time I faced deltarune ch4's secret boss I had no idea you could Fight or use Magic to win. I just Defended the entire time. It took me two straight days. Replayed it the "proper" way and was blown away by how fun and engaging the fight actually is. Got it on the third try.

Experimenting with doing commissions traditionally, in the form of doodle TFs. Bought a small sketchbook, so might as well test it out with this. DM me if you want one.

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

Reposted with alt text but this sums up the NSFW payment fiasco we’re all dealing with. Payment companies should not get to control what we spend money on.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

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.

🔥🔥

this is one of the ways these call campaigns apply pressure. They force these companies to make PR statements that get closer and closer and closer to the real meat of the issue and make their true intentions harder to go by sight unseen

CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org

Need a script? Again: yellat.money has your back!!!

Haven’t called PayPal, Stripe, Visa, MasterCard? Haven’t written a letter yet? That’s okay Promise me something. One call. Or one letter. Just start with one. Try it. See how it feels. And go from there ❤️

Keep calling those payment processors. The scale of the financial damage keeps expanding beyond the phone calls themselves as other industries (see Riot Games, various banks) are roped in to staunch the bleeding. You're winning! Keep going!

this is strong evidence that the ACLU and EFF are gearing up to tackle payment processors. keep up the pressure! there is no one single silver bullet, getting our Ws requires pressure from all fronts! We can do this!

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

This is getting shared a *lot*, so I want to really encourage direct action. You can call a payment processor using information at stop-paypros.neocities.org Calling is important for them - each call to their support costs them money. The goal is literally to cause them trouble until they yield.

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
