okay. I've tried this before but maybe it'll stick. WG is a forum where you can discuss at length tv, movies, books, new releases, metatextual topics, post and discuss art, post tutorials etc, read up in threads, which will not just vanish but stick around for a bit. try it! wg.jcink.net/index.php

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany. If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

Happy new CR campaign day! I'll try to at least see the first couple of episode vods to check the vibe cause i know i can't commit to these things anymore. Still, don't forget to tag your art and spoilers and have fun!

KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA We need to turn out in numbers against this!

More sketchbook

been using a pinterest like bsky front end recently to make little boards of art, and there really is something about scrolling art online and collecting them in a little board that makes it feel like a game where the objective is to find all the sick art, it's so fun scrapboard.org/profile/brys...

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

bsky updated their TOS a couple days ago to say that fictional illustrations of nonconsensual and consensual-nonconsent is banned from the platform. It's going to do a lot of harm to artists because consent isn't always immediately apparent in a drawing, plus +

fictional characters aren't real and are incapable of consenting. Survivors of sexual assault are silenced from being able to share their stories and process their trauma through art. We're simply asking for more robust tools to let us label our art appropriately so we can express ourselves safely.

#SaveSpeech Opposition to Chat Control within Denmark is growing. If you are a Danish citizen, please sign this petition: www.borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-... At 50k sigs, it is submitted to the parliament and undergoes the standard leg process, including potential debates, review, and vote.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

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

Happy birthday, you get to see this before YouTube does because the audio quality there is ass ✌🏽

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!

How do you expect to moderate this consistently? Namely, how do you expect to discern if some fictional characters are consenting? Kink frequently *appears* to be non-consensual, it's one of the reasons there are 'safe words' worked out during some activities. You are setting up a chilling effect.

Write to them! Being direct will always be more useful than being quiet. We need to make it so that this can't be ignored.

Write them a message! #bskycensorship
