Remora House DC 🎃 @remorahousedc.bsky.social · 1d

Same in DC. It’s been two months.

Still constant helicopters overhead. Abandoned work trucks where neighbors have been kidnapped by ICE. Armed national guard walking the streets. Feds posting up in former unhoused spaces to keep people away.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Rest in peace, Miss Major.

We will carry the bricks forward.

ACLU @aclu.org · 2d

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

You must love this drink, I've decided now! 🎵

#vocaloid #miku #cigart

Colourful illustration of Hatsune Miku in the style of a print ad for 'PoPiPo - Vegetable Juice', inspired by the Lamaze-P song. The Kagamines, Meiko, Gakupo and Kaito are around her, enjoying the drink (or proud of farming it, in Kaito's case)

The text reads up top reads "It costs just 200 yen!" and below reads
"Popipo! Mellow and Creamy Vegetable Juice. Fresh from Sapporo, Japan!"

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

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.

Your reminder—or maybe no one ever told you—that complications from a measles infection include immune amnesia (where you lose immunity to everything), vision and hearing loss, brain damage, and a fatal brain disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis that can show up years later.

Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can

If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fascist Dem Tracker @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social · 4d

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

Bocchi the Rock! — The Visual Novel (2025)

a mockup of what a btr visual novel could look like :3

#pixelart #brart
#ぼっち・ざ・ろっく #bocchi #bocchitherock

A mockup of a conceptual visual novel game based on the Bocchi the Rock! franchise. The mockup consists of a border, a background, a talking sprite and a textbox.

The border is themed around an audio mixer, featuring dials, switches, and such. There's a photo of Kessoku Band jumping in the top left; a jack, XLR plugs and stickers inspired by the franchise on the right.

The background depicts a rehearsal room inside Starry, a club where a lot of the story takes place. The talking sprite is one of Bocchi herself, timidly holding a hand up to her neck and looking away while blushing. Her hair has red, blue and yellow highlights.

The textbox consists of two parts. First, a name field, styled after a "Hello! My name is" sticker. The name displayed is that of Bocchi, written like a stylized signature. The second part of the textbox is the dialogue, and it's stylized like sheet music, with a treble clef and a 4/4 time signature to the left. To the right, the dialogue, spoken by Bocchi, says "O-Oh, Kita, hi! I didn't see you there... How are you doing today?"

Finally, at the bottom, there are buttons for options. "Log," "Save," "Load," "Skip," "Settings," and "Auto," each preceded by a corresponding icon.
