we cut the gay stuff because parents felt bad having to out themselves as blatant homophobic bigots to children who have otherwise been taught to love everyone and treat others as you'd have them treat you

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:
If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:
screenshot of patreon's payouts page
reminder when you're doing your taxes, the number patreon is putting on your 1099 is the gross and they DO NOT exclude all the money they took from you in fees. you need to deduct that yourself as business expenses. an easy ("easy") way to do that is to download your earnings by month
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Buzzfeed was trying to force Kyra and her team to use AI for a Chikn Nuggit project. She left in protest because she's an actual hero. The fallout for Buzzfeed has been...real bad, so naturally, they're suddenly open to discussion. Keep being loud about how Ai is NOT acceptable.
It's a crime that i sometimes feel bad about myself when people like this exist
Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)
The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced
Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!
You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.
You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.
I've made my calls today. You need to.

The UK government is looking to make legal for AI companies that which any ordinary citizen could be taken to court for. It is on the cusp of approving theft *only* in this case, a truly unequivocal “rules for thee, not for me” scenario.
That AI needs such special treatment indicts it utterly.
if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE
it will result in dead trans people
and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing
you see the pipeline right?
we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die
WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS
It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Oh shit my bad, here let me say this instead-
Fuck ICE
Fuck MAGA
Free Palestine
Trans rights
Black lives matter
I could give two fucks if people unfollow, i'm not here to surround myself by bigots.
I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.
Man that dash sure is rainbow!

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4
“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”
Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.
The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it
This crap has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with forcing people to give up their privacy and data to companies like Palantir.
