Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Above anything else blender keeps the remaining pay to play endless subscription softwares in check,as long as they know sufficient abuse will cause a mass exodus to blender. It also makes it easier to leave and still make quality work. Even if 3% of blenders base donated once that's massive.

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe. Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.

I recommend leaving a call & posting about paypros censorship on social media if this upsets you bsky.app/profile/dies...

They fucking killed this guy it's so fucking awful I don't even have words for it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party. It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence. We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it. Never again for everyone.

liberals seem to have this idea that public opinion forms randomly and that politics is about figuring out how to messure it and adjust your positions to match it, rather than something you actively take part in influencing to your own principles

Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

If Paypal asks for your opinion, you do NOT say it was NSFW or a commission! Spread the word, because we need to innoculate ourselves to this paypro bullshit.

not joe... he was supposed to be better than this

When it comes to paypal invoices. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! Paypro and their little Puritan Bigot Buddies don't need to know shit about your transaction. If they wanted your opinion, they'd pay you for it. They're just being nosy little fuck-faces. Invading your privacy. Don't tell them shit.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

i figured i should make a post about this since its kind of important and i wanted to get the word out

Man, you want a obituary for 21st century liberalism, here it fucking is.

🇨🇦 Canada’s privacy laws are DECADES old and fail to protect us from corporate misuse & government overreach. ✊ Tell MPs it’s time for real Privacy Law Reform and to make #Privacy4Canadians a priority! 📨 openmedia.org/Privacy4Cana... @openmedia.org

Zach has done a great job bringing a lot of resources, sample scripts, etc on how to call your senators AND representatives to urge them to vote NO on the AI moratorium in the NDAA! Check em out! Btw I thought at first, it was only Senators we needed to call. Please call your representatives too!

Hmm.

Reupping this thread in light of the Times' leak on the 'single sex space' guidance. Obviously everything that applies to bathrooms below applies to that, and more. This should be understood as a very clear attempt to legislate gender nonconforming people out of public.

I completely forgot to celebrate it but November 2nd was my six year HRT anniversary 🥹

My favorite thing about creating and owning characters is that I can just be needlessly cruel to them for no reason and nobody's allowed to get mad at me.

they used to ban toys that were like, a jar of magnetic metal balls cuz one dumbass kid ate one and died. now they have toys that automate the process of having a pedophile uncle

“Nvidia Gives Strong Forecast, Countering Fears of AI Bubble” I very much disagree with this framing. People buying lots of Nvidia GPUs tells us nothing about the eventual ROI on those GPUs. In fact, a bubble effectively <requires> “too many” of these to be bought.

Speaking as someone with *crippling* phone anxiety — making these phone calls is both the easiest and most effective way to make your voice heard. It takes less than five minutes and I promise you that you will feel significantly better after contributing.

Don't sleep on this. Your voice matters way more then whatever PayPal and all these companies are doing. Annoy the hell out of these fucks. Stop-paypros.neocities.org

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

man, it's always the same fucking list

primary them all

Like some kind of zombie cockroach, THE BAN ON STATE AI REGULATIONS IS BACK FROM THE DEAD!! 🪦 Please call your senators and rep NOW and tell them no state AI regulation ban!! A cheat sheet of who to call, scripts of what to say here: tinyurl.com/msa69nkv

Call your Senators and Reps and tell them to remove the ban on State AI regulations NOW! NOT tomorrow! NOT next week! RIGHT. NOW! You’ve got less than 3 days to do this, so CALL RIGHT NOW!

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

this is like his response to every question he gets asked now, too, everything is just an incoherent filibuster of bullshit because he has a medical condition destroying his cognitive ability and everyone around him knows it

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another

Here's the law, if anyone wants to read it. It's pretty short, and provides a list of what has to be released and when (heads up that agencies routinely blow past statutory deadlines), lists exceptions (e.g., no publishing of CSAM) and requires reporting to Congress. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

this is going to be incredible content

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race. One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Excuse me what? The RIAA is now funding NCOSE to file bullshit amicus briefs before the Supreme Court?!? That is way more fucked up than even usual RIAA nonsense. Let me explain...

“I promise you, NCOSE would gleefully move to silence many RIAA-label supported artists, claiming their music is "obscene" and must be stopped. It would be nice if artists on RIAA labels spoke up about how they feel about the RIAA supporting NCOSE's attacks on speech.”

private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

People like Ana are often used to dilute the actions being taken because there is something the average citizen will find offensive about them, and so they must deserve this treatment. She doesn't, and it won't stop with her. It's already happening to other people, and it's going to come for us all

Where things are today: (1) Full list of impacted accounts below, altho again Ko-fi has been returned (2) I am seeking legal options to prevent further blacklisting (3) Buy Me a Coffee remains suspended (4) I suspect other site & paypro accounts may be dinged in future bsky.app/profile/acva...

This is why it's really imp't for regular folks to speak up, keep calling, and hopefully get wider coverage in media. sex workers and people in the scene can get retaliated against easily bc paypros can shriek "high risk! high risk!" Harder to do that to normies and customers just asking questions

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18 reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011 all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful

Got so fed up calling/writing Mastercard about censorship and payment regulation of (indie) adult material that I closed my account with them. And they'll still be getting my annoyed calls and letters. 💜

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
