"ARTHUR, THEY KNOW WHERE THE BLACK STONE IS AND YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM ON THE PHONE! AND THEIR NUMBER WAS IN THE PHONEBOOK!" #malevolentfanart #mbmbam

Digital art, redraw of a screenshot from the MBMBAM tv show where Travis calls the Knights Templar with Malevolent characters. Charlie Dowd is on the left seat, leaning away and scrunching his face. He is a tan man with shoulder-lenght black hair and wears a trenchcoat and a fedora hat. In the middle of the backseat, John Doe is hiding his face hunched foward. He is a bright yellow figure with an unreal fragile black crown and swirls of color over him. On the right, Arthur Lester appears calm and collected as he asks "Hi, is this who I would call to speak to about the Order of the Fallen Star?". He is a white man with short brown hair and some scars, and wears a dark purple suit. There is also an unbothered taxi driver in the corner. The phone Arthur uses is a 1930-typical phone handset with a coiled cord, connected to a wooden box labeled "World's First Wireless Telephone". Overlaid on the bottom, text says "ON THE PHONE", an arrow, "ORDER OF THE FALLEN STAR"

A cartoon drawing of a fish in water, eating fish flakes that are falling in.
An arrow pointing to flakes says "YOUR COMMENTS ON MY LITTLE PICTURES AND STORIES"
An arrow pointing to the fish says "GROWING FAT AND HEALTHY"
Another arrow pointing to the fish says "ME (ARTIST)"

QUOI DE NEUF CETTE SEMAINE ?
Les scores des prévisions demeurent stables et élevés ou très élevés dans la plupart des provinces.

Nobody wants endless fake positivity about how we all have to Give 110% and Coach each other to meet Challenges. If we can't do something because we don't have the budget or because corporate said no, just say so, and then we can figure out how to do our best with what we've got.

Since I know a lot of folks don’t have Tumblr or X - here is an update on the Malevolent Tarot Zine - we appreciate your patience as we navigate this situation. ID is in alt text @malevolent.ca #malevolentpodcast

Current issues with USA tariffs have made starting shipping for USA impossible, as such we will begin our shipping with international and Canadian packages first in the hopes that a solution / change to policy will be available to us.
For context, the tariff fees to ship to USA have changed the cost of shipping from our charged $3500 to over $20,000 which is not manageable.
We appreciate your patience at this time as we figure out how to move forward.
Due to this we have fallen a bit behind on our email replies but rest assured we are working on it!

To disincentivize quote-dunking, early Bluesky users requested a “Detach Quote” feature, which the devs added. I’m not sure how many new users know about it.

If someone quote-posts with something you don’t like, tap the … in the lower right and select “Detach Quote.” Easy.

Honestly really happy to have the gamers joining in with the sex workers in this, because if they treat taking the fight to the proper entities like an ARG this thing might actually unravel.

The censorship worked in the past by obfuscating the responsible parties.

The fog of war is lifting

What we are learning is that these two parties are responsible for all of the censorship going on. Banks working with PayPal / Stripe, and card networks like MasterCard
