Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

EU is re-proposing Orwellian chat surveillance system that gives all the tools for various authoritarian abuse and external hacking base on *all personal chat messages and emails* 14 of 27 EU-member states already aside with this law - help to reverse it! www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/cha...

There's a Mass-chat control legislation being worked at in the European parliament Using website's template I wrote all my MEPs fightchatcontrol.eu#contact-tool Copy of my letter is here; www.furaffinity.net/journal/1120... More details on that here: www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/cha...

It's getting closer to deadlines next month EUROPEANS! - write your MEPs to stop intrusive "Chat control" legislation that will let official *full* access into *every* private phone SMG and emails to facebook and discord chats with this easy letter template: fightchatcontrol.eu#contact-tool #EU

Good moment to remind ourselves about causes of terrorism- from DOJ: “militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States” and that “the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”.

Collective action works. Now, I want to see all of you who left a review do the same with your local reps. Leaving a review takes the same amount of time as an email does and you will be going over all the same points. Even better, print out your email and send it in the mail. Or call!

I'm sorry for not responding messages on Discord lately. It's been hectic, and life just won't stop kicking me while down. Right now I got some pressure from the bank to pay my medical debt asap or face legal action and possibly an eviction. So any help means a lot. ko-fi.com/DuragonArtFund

It's really hard to stand out when you can only do so much for yourself. I'd legit appreciate sharing this around and any help means the world. I am sorry if this isn't the entertainment you came here for.

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

AMID PRESSURE FROM EMPLOYEES AND INVESTORS :3

More people should be talking about this.

Added alt text with full quote. “When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Signed. Share.

Today I'll be dealing with a liver biopsy. It's a routine procedure to see how my liver is going. But it'll leave me out of combat for a few days so any help is vastly appreciated.

$20,000 of royalty free commercial use video game music. Available now for only $10 on: moonanagames.itch.io/80-songs-pack Is it worth it? Don't take my word for it, just look at what the ppl have said instead. #gamedev 🎮 #ttrpg #vtuber

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

If you pick up, they add you to a list of numbers for people that pick up. This is shared between scam call centers. You will then be assaulted by hundreds of calls from India using spoofed numbers. It’s a plague. Do not. Pick. Up. Ever.

It is now official, anyone who says "LGB without the T" is a confirmed fed and should be treated accordingly.

Let's make sure that we're remembering to do this too. It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

They've lost the 9yos

Posting this TikTok someone posted on Discord here, an edit of what Toby said during the Undertale anniversary stream. For those who need to hear/see this.

Indigenous African nations had a variety of ways to address gender diversity before colonisation, which didn't usually include dehumanising trans and queer family members. May this case in Kenya set off a wave of Africans decolonising gender in their laws. 🙌🏽🖤

just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

If I can piggyback here, a suggestion: don't be outraged. be confused. Insist that you do not understand why Nintendo or TPC would use their properties in this way. Tell them you can't believe they would support these policies and are saddened by the fact that Nintendo is okay with this

I apologise deeply for my very dry responses lately. I still have heart issues that require a medication named "metropolol". I haven't been able to afford it, and stress is driving my heart rate haywire. This was so sudden and gave me no chance to prepare myself. So any help's appreciated.

The Board of Immigration Appeals has ordered Emmy-award winning journalist Mario Guevara to be deported to El Salvador after 100 days in ICE detention, a country he fled more than two decades ago after being persecuted for his reporting.

We need to fight for people like Guevara just as hard as we fought for Jimmy Kimmel.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

Remember folks, the American regime is unleashing the Firehose of Bullshit tactic to wear you down, make a few bucks from the most gullible, and distract you from that whole Epstein thing. Don't drop the Epstein thing. Demand the files be released. Demand justice

Great job super soldier! Your efforts are showing real progress! Now for step two: Go forth into the 1 star reviews and mark helpful every review talking about the new policy! This takes a little more time. Through boosting each other's reviews we'll be a huge pain they can not ignore! 😎

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Money rules everything in this country. That hasn't changed. We'll break the paypros next, even if it takes a little extra time. This is how we isolate and defang the current administration.

Protests, mass meetups, conferences—a youth-led movement is reclaiming the Luddite mantle, rejecting a future dominated by Silicon Valley companies, toxic apps, and generative AI. This fall, a "Luddite renaissance" is in full swing. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-luddit...

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

I do think this is a win. Like it's not the end of fascism in America but it's a nice reminder that as much as this admin and its corporate collaborators love to pretend to have strength and control, they will quickly back down with even the smallest bit of community coordination and pushback.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

Instead of participating in #blueskyblackout2025 and self-censoring, you can show your solidarity by, yknow, making noise. Hit that feedback button! Bring up the bullshit rules about fictional characters! Don't rebel against being told to be quiet by complying. That makes no sense!

what fucks me up about the Bluesky TOS update is fucking every adult creator i know wants MORE labels and filter options. we WANT more granular control over the labels and spoilers we can put on our work so people who want to curate their timeline to avoid us CAN DO SO

Want a quick and easy way to help out that Bluesky can't ignore? Review bomb the app store page! :D Let 'em know the new art policy sucks, how disappointed you are that the devs don't listen to their users, and how it's a red flag for investors that they're shoving nsfw creators off the platform.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.
