i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

cannot emphasize enough that thinking that the pro-censorship side has already won is how the pro-censorship side wins

the recent world events - on top of getting covid and then tonsilitis - have completely fucked me over in terms of motivation and ability to draw. i've been itching for a pen, but my brain doesn't want to release the chemicals. hopefully i'll get back that energy soon i wanna draw man...

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

Don't do this, best way to fight against rising censorship is to speak up. Post twice as much art as you do now

She's still waitin

Don't worry, she consents!

Her size is slightly off for the challenge; you know what to do👀😏

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

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts. www.michiganvotes.org/legislators www.congress.gov/members/find...

nah, lmao

This is unrelated to anything but I really really really like drawing peach fuzz. You backlight it and people become glowy and awesome. :O

Don't do the Bluesky blackout ! Assert dominance by posting more porn.🍑

I can draw anything. I can make characters as abstract or grounded as I please. I can put them in peril or paradise at the flick of a wrist and the wisp of a whim. I can tear them to shreds and they'll be fine because I decide they're fine. Because it's all fake. You are trying to chain daydreams

Cool, my art will get even less visibility than usual, I won't make any money from commissions, and my bank account will shrink. All while giving bsky exactly what it wants: No resistance. Great idea. Anyway, please support me so I can survive. Art Packs SubStar Patreon Commissions Ko-fi

Don't do this, all that will happen is people will go back to Twitter and not come back. You need to stand and fight HERE, not leave for a worse place where the fights already lost.

I think an underrated element of why hypnoporn in particular attracts such attacks and censorship is because a significant portion of the American public unironically believes hypnosis is real and can hurt you and that people are really being hypnotized into sex in real life

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Tbh, I also feel uncomfortable talking about it. But they forced us to talk about it. They want to censor people for making fictional content? Then we got to be louder! Keep up the pressure! Continue making your calls to them! #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros stop-paypros.neocities.org

Make more porn. Support more porn creators. ko-fi.com/fiveonefive

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

Bug Bite Sundays are back! Progress so far on Chapter 06: 20 sketched pages (10 more soon)

Germany has joined the opposing nations! Thats 8 total now! The preliminary vote is being done TOMORROW sept 12th. The main vote is on october 18th, but everyone in the EU should especially yell at their representatives TODAY to see if we can secure any last minute opposition before prelim!

Did you do your dailies? Call Paypros. Call your reps.

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.

#SaveSpeech Josh Hawley is a senator for Missouri. if you live there, you need to call him (and your other reps frankly) and tell him that Section 230 cannot be repealed and must instead be protected here are some contact numbers for him.

10 minute call with Visa and we went in circles, would give no specifics, pointed to the two month old statement on videogames. Asked why nobody wants to tell me if I can buy LOTR, eventually got hung up on. Melt their lines

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.

We went from 3 countries being opposed to chat control to 6 in about a week. But there's still a lot of countries undecided, and more countries in favour, so keep calling, keep emailing, keep sharing. We need more support before the vote in October.

It only takes 2 MIN to contact your reps, the page already gives you a message to send. You only need to put your name and address at the end. And if by any chance, the "send" button doesn't work, click copy email addresses + message and send an email manually. fightchatcontrol.eu#contact-tool

those numbers are INSANE, thank youuuu everyone for liking :3

and remember, DO NOT STOP CALLING. ive updated the phone call cheat sheet one more time! imgur: imgur.com/a/sC2YqPA more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

[REPOSTS APPRECIATED] Hi, I'm Khayle, a plugin developer for FFXIV (XIVCombo, formerly Chat Bubbles & a lot more!) I've been notified today that I have to pay my entire rent debt within this month or else I am getting evicted from my appartment. I need to gather 2250€ before 31/09. Links below!

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
