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.

If you havent joined in the effort yet, if you havent called any reps, or sent letters to paypros etc etc You can still hop on and help. Now is the time to try! Because we will only get out of this by trying! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Even though summer is over, that doesn't mean its warmth has left us!💫 Ozzy character art for @floppsy.bsky.social This summer has been pretty average for me, so at least I can fantasize about a wonderful warm neon summer vacation in my art😭

I've been thinking of doing some silly interaction thing Since it's #biceptember - oomfs, drop your chars in replies and I'll sketch them flexing their biceps! 💪💪💪 Might even specify a pose if you'd like something specific Dunno how much I'll draw and how long it'll take, but I want to try it

It wasn't until after #Harrison accepted deputy-ship that it occurred to him that maybe he liked Wesley a bit differently than just a friend... (Pictured here is the moment Harrison said yes to being the deputy. Wesley was grinning like a loon. Maybe the sheriff was harboring feelings too...?)

hate to be the bearer of bad news to the pretentious but pornography is not a lower form of art just because you feel weird after you jerk off sometimes. this isn't about "the noose tightening," this isn't just suppression of expression and art, this is un-elected, international suppression of art.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Visa hit me with the "we've given you everything, so we're hanging up now" But you know what? I just redialed and spent more time on the phone with a different agent. Payment Processors do not want to hear our opinions, but they're out of luck. Keep calling, and tell them you're not backing down.

Anyone following #LightningSalvageCompany, no new chapter this week! You all have fun!

You have pieced together the clues and stumbled upon the treasure promised within. The Wideness of the World, the latest anthology from the Furry Historical Fiction Society, is coming later in 2025! www.tfpublishing.com.au/coming-soon

if you live in these 3 regions, give the petitions a sign! It takes less than a minute, and these petitions can be a great way to push the cause and raise awareness/ deal brand damage to paypros! and if you dont live their or the USA, i recommend trying to look into petitioning your government too!

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

Contact info for payment processors. Keep the pressure on. stop-paypros.neocities.org#contactinfo

The reason it only took 1,000 calls to start the wave of censorship & it's taken 10,000 to even get them to acknowledge it is that Collective Shout didn't bully them into doing anything, it gave them an excuse to do something they already wanted to do So we must fight 20x as hard as they did

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

I'm so glad @stellarstag.bsky.social let me run with this little comic idea for his commission, I had so much fun doing this beautiful scene of his OCs Lorcan and Berad of their first kiss. ❤️❤️❤️

My whole TL posting like

Has anybody been given this address? Visa, Inc. GCAS PO Box 026098 Miami Florida 33102, Office of the President I was just told that this, exactly, verbatim, is a physical address we can send inquiries if we aren't getting a response. The call was recorded, can share the relevant parts as needed.

And another here, what could it mean...?!

Big News at last! Keep your eyes peeled for something from the Furry Historical Fiction Society in the next... week or so-ish, if I've understood right. In the meantime... what could this be? Art by SovKa, drawing_sofa on FA. #BookSky #FurryLit

Hello to all my friends at @megaplexcon.org 2025! I have hidden three copies of my book around the con space. If you find one, it’s yours to keep! Let me know if you find one and tag me here! If anyone else is here and has my book with them, I’ll be more than happy to sign your copy! #Megaplex2025

I have two music moods: I require the same three or four songs on repeat for weeks on end OR I require ABJECT SILENCE

reminder that MasterCard and VISA are very okay with processing payments for guns and bullets, just not a video game where two fictional people fuck.

WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT AND PAYMENT PROCESSORS STILL AREN'T BACKING DOWN. WE HAVE NOT WON YET.

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people. If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives. Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

I kiss my husband on the top of his head with the same thoughtless efficiency that I give my cat a little pet when I pass by

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Age verification laws for social media go far beyond just impacting people under 18 or restricting adult content — they make it harder for all of us to access information and speak freely online.

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.

AUTHORS! ASSEMBLE!

worth knowing about Visa. Try explicitly asking for complaint numbers if you can!

Everyone can contribute something to the fight, but because certain actions tend to get all the coverage, it can be easy to feel shut out. So here's a thread of ways to help that do NOT include: Going anywhere Calling anyone Writing anything If you want to help, we want your help. Let's go....

Heat Without Light Book 1: A Lion Among Mice June the lion saves the life of a stranger, a tiger named "Fear" and discovers that his little rural community of mice is being menaced by a mysterious entity from the cracks between reality. (Pay what you want!) #Furrylit #furry #furrywriting #fantasy

It's a new week art fans. Make sure you're calling the payment processors and your reps. I've been seeing the momentum ebb and we really can't let that happen. This is about the right for adults to be able to use their own money the way they see fit and freedom of expression

Look, there's a LOT of things that came up, but this still takes precedence too. Please, if you have the bandwidth, it's imperative that you call payment processors too. There's an overwhelming amount of stuff happening, and I know we want to forget about it. But we're still in the middle of it.

‘Visa and Mastercard’s adult content clampdown is a battle they can’t – and shouldn’t – win’

Oh, oh I -like- this. If you want to switch gears on hassling the Payment Processors, take a page out of the (American) insurance industry by being a 'diligent customer' and calling the company ahead of time to confirm Prior Authorization. Be polite, but very confused when they insist you stop. 😇

Today's strategy was framing it all in "why has there been no response? what 'issues' could possibly need more than four weeks of discussion?" terms.

Paypros still haven't receded. We need to keep exhausting them until they give up. Letting them win wouldn't be the death of just furries but the entirety of the internet will be controlled by paypros if we let this slide.
