Well now, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

The most vocal Christians never mention the Beatitudes. They demand the 10 Commandments be posted in public buildings. That's Moses; not Jesus. No one demands the Beatitudes be posted anywhere.

We need folks to hammer paypros, as the holiday season is a prime opportunity to clog up their call centers and have our impact be felt the hardest.

Need contacts, talking points, etc? use the site linked! It has a ton of info that is still relevant and useful!

This is your sign to double the fuck down, ESPECIALLY when MasterCard has less call centre workers for the holiday season.

I MAY be getting back into a Percy Jackson/Riordenverse kick, so a question for the Greek Mythos people out there:

I took a parentage quiz and got the following in three runs:

1. Demeter
2. Aphrodite
3. Apollo.

Am I cooked or am I goated, depending on the god?

There’s a sudden influx of people asking what Sweet Baby Inc *do*. So here I am, a Sweet Baby Inc employee, to tell you: we are writers & narrative designers! We write and help create stories, all with the enthusiastic consent of the studios who hire us!

Great thread about that here! \/\/

Olivenaut @olivenaut.bsky.social · 1d

I am summoned

Yeah, hugely disappointed by Shesez here. Sweet Baby Inc was not "designed to consult and steer more inclusion" into games. They are brought on purposefully as a second opinion on narrative by large studios. They're script doctors. There's no pressure campaign to hire them.

ℹ If you struggle with reading literature due to your neurotype, consider bringing your book/eReader into the bathroom to read while you do your business. Not only will it keep you occupied as you ensure as full a movement of your bowels as possible, but you're more likely to read while you do so.

Hey so just as a reminder to my homies this winter:

Never ever ever plug your external heater to any kind of extension cable or plug adapter. They ARE NOT designed to be plugged into those things. You run the risk of shorting the device and causing a fire.

You should always plug it into the wall.

I'm gonna be serious:

Piracy, no matter its form, is a necessary evil in an age where corporations and IP holders are making their best effort to try and deprecate physical media and the concept of media ownership as a whole.

There is no good argument against it--only a legal one.

my favorite part of this whole thing is that said reports were specifically written in Greek so when the explorers went back to Britain, the average person couldn't accidentally read about gay penguins and be scandalized

Cheat Sheet v.2

nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

more comprehensive info can be found here:

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:

I'm not mad at you, or Ajay, but my entire *point* was that there is a huge ethical problem at the heart of the game industry, and that needs to be addressed before they can demand more money from us.
