We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.

Whoops, Patreon isn't letting me get my money. I need help

Does this count as chapter 4 spoilers Deltarune prophecy showing a spheal and the prophecy says "the spheal will say "sphe", and then "al.""

This is perfect, wow. Plus the Gowron smile when he's in battle? Feels appropriate to a Scholar!

Been watching TNG and everytime i see Gowron in this outfit i just think about how he's got that FFXIV Scholar artifact gear. (Spent too long on this)

“Authors should not be ALLOWED to write about–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative “This book should be taken off of shelves for featuring–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative “Schools shouldn’t teach this book in class because–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative “Nobody actually likes or wants to read classics because they’re–” you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot “I only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and features–” you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.

Saw this on tumblr and couldn't agree more.

Hey Gang! I could not be more thrilled to step behind the screen for Campaign 4 of Critical Role, and cannot wait to share all the amazing things me and this incredible team have been cooking up for you! 🐲⚔️🔮

When you strip away humanity

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

this campaign is a great starting point, but once those base goals are archived we shouldnt stop there cause online banking & transactions must be regulated

deny of service, abusive tos changes, breaking of costumer trust... are things that need to be outlawed or the current events will repeat

The end goal of this call campaign is the reversal of these policies and the restoration of censored content on affected platforms. Steam and itchio are our focus points, but you should stress your frustration with policies affecting sites such as Patreon, Gumroad, and Fansly. Make it clear (1)

Advice for people calling Visa & MasterCard to complain about their censorship of sexual content ⬇️

The tldr is call at least twice on different days and keep them on the phone for longer.

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵

A reminder for anyone going to Gen Con next week:

Please MASK on the plane there, in the convention, in bars, restaurants, anywhere that isn't well ventilated!!!

Just gonna flash this around because I still need help to get by 🙏

"But this is just about porn games!"

Yes, and weird religious fascists regularly mischaracterize queer people and queer art as inherently pornographic, they shouldn't be given an inch because there's no line for them, no cut-off point, they'll never be satisfied. Do you think they'll stop at porn?

Three vinyl stickers of the game changer loop-de-loop in progress pride, trans, and non-binary colours respectively. The stickers also have the words "we've been here the whole time"

Game Changer pride stickers are out now 🎉 (with massive thanks to @samreich.bsky.social for giving me permission to sell them!)

If you have a fund with MC or Visa in it, I suggest calling and demanding to know what your compensation will be for the reduction in Earnings Per Share caused by cutting off income streams (:

we are going to need to keep up this 'yelling at payment processors' energy for more than just today

Ideally, we will need to keep up this pressure over a span of a few weeks

As many people as possible, each making 2-4 calls a day, for a few weeks, is going to make the biggest impact

This. Itch.io was put in the position of make less money or make no money, so they can’t be fully faulted for the decision they made. This was a decision made under duress, so Visa and MC are the ones who deserve your anger.

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

if I was ever at a party and someone genuinely suggested we play this, I'm going to jail

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me

That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?
