My state government wants to see artists in jail so please sign the petition!! Don't let them win!

#SaveSpeech

Continue calling your representatives about these federal bills. All of these are some flavor of bad-for-the-internet.

additionally, try to emphasize how much you want to see legislation passed to stop paypros from censoring/debanking legal work!

A Patreon survey shows creators don't want crypto payments Patreon announced the results of its creator census, which invited the community to share feedback about how the fan membership platform can best support them.

if you are feeling panicked over the Patreon AI survey please remember: a few years ago they were trying to feel out whether the userbase wanted NFT/crypto integration via a survey and the resounding FUCK NO won out techcrunch.com/2022/05/04/p...

I genuinely hope we all come out of this absolute fuckass of a stretch of time feeling much less apathetic about everything. Even if all you can do is complain to management, it feels better than just doing nothing.

If you use Patreon, please take it. Keep AI off the platform.

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you.

your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

If only someone had said "they won't stop with porn"!

It's Saturday, gamers and whores. You got a half-hour, right?

Hey companies, I would MUCH prefer you just raise the price of something than keep making shit smaller #shrinkflation

Of course, if I’m choosing, I’d rather you just suck it up and be cool with making “mind-blowing” profit instead of your usual “nutshit bonkers pants-creaming” profit

riot games is having a valorant esports live stream on twitch at 5 pm est later today, sponsored by mastercard. FLOOD THE CHAT WITH ANTI MASTERCARD PROPAGANDA, THEY WILL NOT SILENCE US. They will also presumably have censors built in to certain words, so type in like ma$tercard to get around it

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA).

remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

Artists have been making their blood, sweat, and tears available for free as a statement against payment processor censorship. Please seek out ways to pay them if you can!

Okay, but all of that food looks delicious I don’t blame you in the least!!

DO IT. I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU.

Fight the tyranny and misery by all means, but please do not feel guilty for needing to step away from the fight and rest.

Sometimes we have to take a moment to withdraw and take time to recover from all of the horrible news going on in the world.

You can’t do any good if you are burnt out and running yourself ragged all the time.

Rest is radical, taking care of your mental well being is radical, in a system that >

KOSA is back, speak of the devil. Let's kill it again!

In summary:

- This call campaign needs to last at least a month
- As many calls as possible, so bring your friends
- Make sure each call lasts as long as possible
- Each time you make a call, mention it's not the first time you've called about this

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

I am absolutely heartbroken by this news…..

A lot of NSFW content has been removed from places like Steam and itchio recently, but you might not know this is actually the result of a campaign that has been going on for decades.

Here's how anti-porn groups got the power to censor the internet.

In solidarity with all the NSFW game devs hit on Itch. Almost sure the platform got hit in the latest wave of censorship from payment processors, it's looking bleak.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Let’s change gears. Do some good

Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination

PLEASE SIGN! Steam just updated their TOS due to payment processors' pressue to remove content that "violates terms". Visa and Mastercard are targeting adult content again. Patreon's stringent rules around 18+ work exist bc of them and onlyfans was pressured too (along with many others). Push back.
