If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

PSA for Discord's new age verification!

If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.

Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+

It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

wild how atm the most dangerous people to ally with in a shared community is NOT the perps and bad actors, but moreso the “anti” and fragility mindset held by many young artists who project their discomfort as objectively immoral. Unwittingly regurgitating puritanical fascist rhetoric

Just a reminder to PLEASE tag your adult/nude content appropriately.

I see people claiming their visible genitalia are not meant to be sexual but that's not the point.

Sometimes people don't want penis/vag on their feed and if you personally find it sexual or not is not relevant.

Tag your nudes.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

a short comic showing a hand petting a dog. the hand ask "are you a good boy?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask again "are you a good girl?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask, in a gender-nuetral way, "are you a good person?" the dog looks shocked. next panel shows the dog posing as "The Thinker" statue, asking itself "Am I a good person?"

good gender-nuetral entity

I want people to think more critically over AI and understand WHICH AI is the kind ruining our environment (it's genAI). AI in general has been around for decades and fear mongering over anything labeled "AI" is doing more harm than good. The AI that detects cancer isn't genAI.

The image is a six panel black and white comic Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..." Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that" Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope" Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine" Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope." Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

There is hatred all around me. But i wont let it win. I can fight for what I love, more than against what I hate.

May the right fire burn within me.

Batman slapping Robin meme with the caption, an "18+" sign being over Batman's face while Bluesky's logo is over Robin's. Robin as Bluesky: "No discussing self-harm, suicide, abuse (sexual, drugs, substance, etc.) unless it's educational—!!!" Batman as 18+ creators (or non-professionals in general): "Artists are not teachers or therapists. We are not obligated to teach you anything."

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this

#bskycensorship

???

Reject being sanitized, censored and made marketable.

Have a vagineye.

Three naked flesh figures melded together and covered in boobs

Weird art is still art.
Uncomfortable art is still art.
Fuck censorship.

I might start posting weird NSFW stuff in protest of the rising censorship bullshit.

I'm not talking tasteful titties either I'm gonna get intentionally WEIRD with it.

You have been warned.

I really need you guys to internalize this.

Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air.

Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social Follow the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is. however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message: (877) 887-7815

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

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

Digitally illustrated graphic with big, bold, black text in the center reading "trans lives are more important than harry potter". Two cats with alternating colours of the trans flag lay above the top left and bottom right of the text, turning it pink & blue where they cross over.

happy pride month!

Holly bear walking with her stuff packed across an internet browser: Text reads: I have posted my art online for 25 years now and the the main thing I have learned over the years is to diversify where you post.

Holly bear walking past the ruins of DeviantArt with a sad expression, a campfire long since abandoned. Behind the DA sign art thieves are stuffing paintings into black bags and a robot bear is printing endless pictures. Text reads: Keep posting to as many relevant platforms as you have energy for, because enshittification comes for them all

Holly bear walks past the 'X' sign which has burned it's way through the twitter bird. She has an annoyed expression on her face and the campfire by her looks recently abandoned. There is a dumpster on fire, an onlybears model advertising and two bots talking to each other and printing out slop. Text reads: Do you have one site that you rely on for income? Prepare for it not being functional some day. It isn't pessimism to be prepared, when so many of the giants have been rendered unusable.

Holly bear sighs, taking a break and sitting down by a new campfire, not unpacking all her stuff. There is a small sign with the blue sky butterfly on it. Text reads: If you find a place with good community, negligible algorithms and feedback; try to live in the moment. Enjoy it while it lasts.

This may be one of the worst times to be posting art online. So many platforms being swamped with AI, spammed with aggressive bots and algorithms that will hide you until you play their silly secret games. What else can we do but ride it out? 🐻 #TheBearMinimum

Typos repost. Word heavy but important. Not just me but for a lot of folks. If you make content that could trigger epilepsy/eye strain, put on your big boy pants & just flag it with a cautionary warning. Don’t be nasty. Human safety matters more than your views & likes. #artistsofbluesky #digitalart

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions:

A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans.

I would like to amend my prior statement.

Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

Color photo of a white lily blossom, overlaid with a black skull and cross bones and text that reads “no lilies for kitties”.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...
