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

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.

You might think Ryan is exaggerating but I used to go to a regular dinner that gradually got taken over by young Republican staffers and I promise you he is not.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE and their owner is helping to develop military AI. Maybe hit that "cancel my account" button?

If you are in Massachusetts, LUCE (a coalition of immigrant-led, grassroots organizations) needs volunteers and donors to support their work.

And if you see ICE, call LUCE: 617-370-5023

It was basically an experiement in designing social systems (something I've refined for "The SSLARP" which is more like an....urban fantasy social game about witches who get magic from the connections they form in a sort of gothic punk setting. A lot of community and anti-nihilism against horror)

“a little Cherokee in me”
I've been struggling to express this critique of both blood quantum and those people who love to claim supposed #Cherokee heritage as a fun lil fact they only bring up when they think it’ll make them look more interesting. It ended up manifesting as this self portrait (1/2)

A digital painting of a person standing in front of a Mississippian-style shell gorget. The gorget features an incised design of a panther, which is sharing its head with the headless human figure. The person is pale skinned, wearing a ribbon shirt and clay beads, and holding a Cherokee style pottery bowl with an incised looped design.

Happy Indigenous Peoples day, I think it's not only important to seek out indigenous art in your own communities, whatever they may be, but to provide mentorship and opportunities.

Equality is not the final goal, Equity is an ideal worth fighting for and call out attacks against DEI for what it is

DC loves killing children. There is nothing the love more than tossing child characters into the meatgrinder. Titans comics are so bad about this in particular lol
