This is your monthly reminder: if you like a piece of writing, a piece if art, etc-- TELL THE PERSON WHO MADE IT!!! Leave a comment, tell them with *words* that you like it.
Seriously, it goes *such* a long way.

I've been yearning to pull mine out, everything feels wrong without it- I imagine it'll be like suddenly feeling back in my skin 💕

I kind of view this piece as vent/cope art even though I didn’t draw it. Just gave Clay a brief description of emotions I wanted to convey. I have mixed emotions when I look at this art because of what it symbolizes, but I absolutely LOVE it nonetheless. Please go support Clay! 💙💙💙

I worked with Clay a very long time ago and even back then he's been fantastic, nailing every commission that crosses his path.

Turned out super well here too 🧡 Well done!

in LOVE with the work of Brett Allen Johnson 😍

A painting depicting horses in front of a great rock. Big old stylised clouds in the background.

A painting depicting some big fun clouds and... Cacti? Some kinda desert plant.

A painting depicting... Rocks? It's very stylised, ok - there's a mountain in the desert and some rocks.

A painting depicting beautifully stylised trees in the mesa. I think that's the right word.

Thinking "Someone else will do it" is the assurance that no one else will do it, and everyone will lose. Keep up the calls, keep up the emails, keep up the pressure.

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself!

And keep on calling/mailing!

SCREEN ACT:
-full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks)

-Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft.

-id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation

-draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving

KOSA:
-creates "duty of care,” meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors.

-who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration

-it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed.

-the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

Dammitbird @GalewindG

According to steam, early access is no longer an option for games with "mature themes" The culling of adult games continues.

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff”

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”
