@probsgoblins.bsky.social . The BlueSky policy continues to prevent us from clarifying the suffering we are in. We are in dire need of help. We are dying without any mercy and can't find anything to eat. This method is our only hope to share our story💔

Ashaa had a run in with some bounty hunters from his old 'boss', and grapples with the fact that his party rescued him instead of turning him in

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that.

LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

hey speaking of fighting back against censorship: Michiganders, start calling/writing/faxing/in-person bothering your state reps about this!

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

The petition is nearly at 10k - just a little bit more of a push is needed!

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition
Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content
Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored.

Excellent article by @eurogamer.bsky.social. Fantastic work & a model for how other games outlets & games journalists should be covering this issue. Please read it and share widely. It's giving a voice to many developers often left unheard on paypro censorship

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

Michelle Keep @jmkeep.bsky.social · Sep 3

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Round three! Strip that priest 😈.

You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?

See yellat.money for contact information, and stop-paypros.neocities.org for some example scripts and other info! Any extra points will carry to the next round 💖
