As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

We both paused to take a look at each other and then we both went about our business. Amazing to watch this coyote just disappear into the grass. Magical creatures #mammals

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

me when horse game

the yes haha meme with a guy labelled 'sickos' looking into the window

Screenshot from the quoted article on PC gamer about the Legend of Khiimori demo. It reads: It's fantastic. [highlight start]This is a game clearly made by absolute horse sickos [highlight end], and indeed Alice Ruppert—of The Mane Quest fame and to whom we at PCG have chatted before—was formerly creative producer on the game and now serves as a consultant. It makes me wonder that, for all the videogame horses out there, I've never seen games really model all this detail before, even ones that emphasise their historical realism like Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Copper Beech bonsai is waking up and looking fine.
I've been moving it in and out of sun and wind with the messy spring weather. Now, I just hope the new growth hardens up before the next storm.

Especially when it feels like I cant come to my own fucking parents for help and even then its pulling teeth from them and a literal meltdown from me because im panicking before any action can be taken because Godforbid they believe me and im right but wholly rely on chatgpt & its hallucinations np

Shmesh Squishington @lordshmesh.bsky.social · 12h

And they have the gull to wonder why I wanna move out and at times want to go non contact? When you treat me like shit yeah its no wonder why I don't feel safe and always fucking feel like im walking on eggshells here.

Being forced to take a breathing treatment even though I feel better and im not wheezing at all but whatever. I feel weak now but ill live. Happens every time with a breathing treatment which is why I only rely on them as a last resort.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
