I'll try drawing another one from this series 👀
Ryota is a rabbit character, but I'll keep his fox look. His hat is straight up bunny ears. 🐰Tevor is the King of Hearts 👑 It's really interesting. I love the Alice in Wonderland story.🙏❤️ #dislyte #dislytefanart

I need ppl to understand that it doesn’t matter if you were born with one or not; you WILL become disabled at some point in your lifetime. Be it age, accident, genetics, etc. Mental or physical. It WILL happen. We won’t be able-bodied forever.

Helping disabled folks helps EVERYONE!

Anything with Ads and data collection (cookies, metadata etc)
can NEVER be "kid friendly".

But I see little effort in trying to ban or even regulate invasive personalized ads or data harvesting. On the contrary, OSA / KOSA amd EU's Chat Control is abour harvesting MORE of your most INTIMATE data

Seconding this.

While I'm presently dreading chatcontrol, KOSA, etc, I need to keep stressing this fact: Section 230 is vital to the internet. Any change or hole made in it can have devastating consequences.

PLEASE tell your lawmakers to leave it the fuck alone. Or fix the holes in it instead.

with Chat Control's being defeated being related to how people fought tooth and nail to not get it passed. And it worked!

The defeatist attitude is the only thing, that can help those bills pass, as they rely on the simple trick of mind "It'll pass anyway, I will do nothing about it" - that (3/?)

Say NO to ONLINE CENSORSHIP. Say NO to KOSA

I do think a lot of the overzealous censorship, increasing loss of right to privacy and right to anonymity etc. was directly brought about by SESTA/FOSTA. I remember making calls to block that the way people now do with KOSA or BlueSky’s TOS. Also how much Steve Jobs hated porn.

Call your rep! Send them with mail and email! Flood them with calls and letters! Use 5calls.org! Reject Kosa!Censorship did not make everyone safe!

NJ democrat for Gov Mikie Sherrill is pushing hard for KOSA. Besides her voting to take away healthcare from transgender 🏳️‍⚧️ youth of military families, she has completely ignored them and is looking to silence them online along with our right to free speech and privacy. Say NO to KOSA.

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal] @MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

This also means that if you post daily, and if you decide to leave Bluesky, you will have a much greater impact in protest due to the weight of each user compared to, say, leaving Twitter in protest

PR need to teach them some obvious lessons:
👩‍🏫 Don't give away that you hate the users; people dislike that.
👩‍🏫 Having many users is a GOOD thing, not a BAD thing. Try to remember that.
👩‍🏫 People take their own safety seriously, particularly in the middle of a genocide; maybe don't mock them.

Screwing over poor people and the environment for a cash grab. Great values, Mister Bill Gates.

You wanna know why we're trying to get Bluesky mods' attention though comments, feedbacks, and App store ratings over their new policy? This is why. Even with media that's not even for adults, they label it for adults anyway. This will affect a lot of people, not just nsfw art. #bskycensorship

My patience is so, so fucking threadbare rn

RFK Jr lies about COVID vaccines.

THE SCIENCE: Study found, 10%-20% of children who have had COVID-19, regardless of symptoms, are experiencing Long COVID.

Long COVID has surpassed asthma as #1 pediatric chronic disease.

Talk w/ pediatrician about COVID vaccine.

bsky is making this so hard when their leadership is this miserable and reactionary and petty and intent on stamping out any bit of goodwill left for them, for an "own"

It saddens me greatly that I have seen people say "im asexual so it doesn't matter to me" about the rise in censorship- not exclusive to bsky btw; it does matter to you. Your sexual orientation does not give you moral high ground. I dont know how to explain you should care about other people.

just a reminder that hootsuite is abhorrently expensive to the point of being insulting, and you can already schedule your bsky posts FOR FREE on multiple other third party tools <3

wouldn't be surprised at all if all the recent censorship bs was done in order to secure this partnership.

The thing people are getting ‘extra mad’ about is censorship in fiction.

Bsky asked for input, then promptly ignored said input. They ignored artists, survivors, and allies to both in lieu of maintaining a stance on fiction that, at its core, devalues actual victims.

bsky creaming themselves to comply in advance to online censorship has made all the other issues/bugs with this place nearly intolerable lmao

Hailey, I'm going to be real, but I'm not impressed by the recent actions from Jay and the rest of the team's response in it. I know it has nothing to do with the prior conversation, but I was hoping to see better from you. I, and most others, cannot feel secure and provide a sense of "having faith" in the Bluesky Team when it seems like the lot of you lean towards mocking genuinely concerned users on your platform.

After seeing the rest of the BSky team backing Jay's mocking response to criticisms over transphobia, I've tried to reach out to the BSky employee who reached out to me over the censorship frustrations.

I think we (as users) deserve better communication from those who run the site.

I mean I’m still against all the censorship and feel like mandatory labels for NSFW are more than enough but I’m not in US so I can only send my feedback to Bsky team, spread awareness and help with VPN as person who is very familiar with this chase game.
And as artist I am tired from migrations.

Payment processor censorship mentioned as a reason. Horrible

There is a growing and undeniable wedge in Bluesky’s userbase — tech bros vs trans users — and the trans users cannot win that fight. Just as Elon will always side with the Nazis, Jay and her team will always side with the tech bros

These dumb tech motherfuckers truly think we are dependent on them and not the other way around.

I hope people start building communities outside of social media.

Another blow to chat control!

EU folks, contact your MEPs so we can block chat control! You have until the 14th of october!

Tech bro disdain for sex workers and adult content creators will inevitably lead to more porn limitations on here as well. Bluesky was always doomed to be a shit Twitter alternative
