happy 10-year anniversary

Sent more letters and made my calls. The MasterCard line wouldn't even connect so I left a message with the CEO instead. I'm going up North for a few days, good luck out there everyone! New Important Resource: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...

I should add that for the first time in a while the VISA rep was very candid with me. She said that they keep bringing this up to the managers and asking for help/instructions but aren't getting anything from higher-up. So as a reminder: DO NOT BE A DICK TO THE REPS!!!!

Visa and Mastercard have retrained their employees to lie and shut us down, including giving them permission to hang up on us. We have to switch to a new line of attack.

ComData is the company that handles Mastercard customer service- calling Comdata could possibly help put pressure on Mastercard.

umamusume oc based on that stupid fucking horse my brother showed me years ago 🏇

Damn fucked up how the duopoly that's super powerful and nobody can stand-up against has to fold against a government policy all of a sudden and it's the policy of one government dictating what every other nation does. Keep calling Visa/MasterCard. Fuck 'em. They can stop this shit whenever.

So instead of addressing any issues, Mastercard is FURTHER supressing criticism. They're panicking. Don't. Stop. Calling.

I think it's more helpful to quote retweet bad news in it with what steps to take to fix it or spread the word to fix it, instead of "it's all hopeless we're fucked it's so over I'm screwed." Don't just stand there and say things are hopeless because it drags others down too and nothing gets fixed

Today's reminder to keep the pressure on! They're hoping we'll shut up, get tired or bored, and just walk away. If we keep trashing their operational metrics, they'll fold first.

Destroy the SCREEN Act. Destroy KOSA. Never stop calling. Never stop mailing. Never stop screaming. This administration is FURIOUS that the entire population didn’t become bootlickers overnight, and our right to a free and open internet is the biggest reason why.

I called my rep (Blue district). Mentioned the KOSA and the SCREEN act, how it's censorious and even a National Security threat, citing Social Security leaks He said that they've gotten hundreds of calls about KOSA (nice) but they didn't hear about the SCREEN act since it's "not bi-partisan." 🤔

“Ask for what actually fixes the problem — and then go out there and fight for it.” On Monday, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social came to NYC to talk about universal childcare, and why we shouldn’t listen to billionaires who say making life affordable for working families isn't possible.

None of us are free until *all* of us are free ✨

I desperately beg of other countries to stand up to this fuck. We’re trying here too but ffs other countries need to respond to this.

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!

Here's the bill btw Call your senators and tell them to shut it down

cannot be stressed how much of a fucking disaster the death of section 230 would be for online communication. Sites would just start auto-removing anything even close to topics that could get them in trouble. The whole point of 230 is that they can't realistically police everything fairly

If your state/country allows you to record without disclosing it (most do IIRC, but check) you can record the call and report them with it as evidence. Obviously don't intentionally antagonize them JUST for a recording, since then YOU will be the one at fault, and that will accomplish nothing.

Keep! Calling! Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, and Stripe are really feeling the pressure and trying to do whatever they can to fuck us over for the Billionaire class and don't forget to call your senators to vote no on KOSA, SCREEN, AND IODA!

Over the past month, independent content hosting platform Itch.io has been systematically banning queer & NSFW content. We talked to creators about how this impacted them, and how they’re fighting back. Written by @thefreeradical.org and edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social

To nobody's surprise, non-sexual games with two girls kissing are being caught in the censorship together with all the "obscene" "non-artistic porn" Because it's gay. And I know I've repeated this for like 8 years at this point: To these people LGBTQIA = porn and porn = evil

anyone wanna go on the fast and furious swan boat with me 🥺

Just so you know, the moment porn goes, the next topic on the same censorship lists Valve quoted as the ban reason is *any violent game*. If you don't pester them now, next time you might not don't have a game store to pick up the next best game from, cause porn is just the step one

I like that she later came back and was like "hey this is a really unhealthy way to think about your body" [cw: ED]

Apparently Nintendo and Epic Games are lobbying against the Stop Killing Games movement because they want Games to be licenses not property So you KNOW the Stop Killing Games Movement is onto something www.stopkillinggames.com

We're in some sorta Mii Utopia... #art #deltarune

Another reminder that the best revenge is living a great life. Go Vivian! www.tmz.com/2025/06/14/v...

Please understand that as more people join Bluesky, there are more people who do not know that they used to call me The Drift King back in college. Please help spread the word
