Love how they're banning both trans women that won in women's categories AND trans men that previously won prior to transitioning, just in case anyone thought it was about anything other than pure discriminatory hatred

The image is a piece of fan art titled "Klimt Eastwood," created by Carl Tétreault in 2016. It depicts actor and director Clint Eastwood in a style inspired by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, specifically referencing Klimt's "The Kiss".

Please enjoy this Klimt Eastwood

I'll give them this, at least they are true to their word

I am kinda fascinated by the emerging joint deployment of “Mamdani would take away the NYPD’s ability to effectively deal with shootings like the one that happened on Monday” and “It’s impossible to prevent shootings like the one that happened on Monday”, sometimes on the same page of the newspaper.

yandere-angela i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion butch-snorlax How does that barcode system work? I've never heard of something like that. yandere-angela 1. you add whatever porn games or movies or books you want to your cart and go to checkout 2. you select cash payment at conbini as your payment method 3. youre emailed a barcode that you take to the conbini 4. you show it to the cashier, they scan it, and you pay what you owe. note that the cashier does not see what youre buying and the transaction is complete

Japan is in no way perfect, it has many flaws, but this sort of thing is fucking phenomenal and I so desperately wish we had an approximate of it becuase fuck man it sucks that so much of our lives get dictated by corporate morality

It’s almost impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of unacceptable products to sell, so often we have to take content reviews one at a time. If an issue arises with your account that isn’t already covered by our policy, then we will contact you and share what options you may have. If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

When you strip away humanity

It really does feel like we each lost a small part of ourselves watching this genocide. There's no therapy for the feeling of "yeah it happened in my lifetime, I witnessed and I tried my best to raise awareness, but all us good people had our pleas bulldozed"

this is who visa and mastercard lets decide what you are permitted to buy

I'm asexual, I don't like sex, I think that anyone trying to censor sexual expression is a total piece of shit. I think people should be horny on main. Sex is just something people do and it's honestly ridiculous the amount of taboo is around something the majority of the people on the planet do.

Part 1/2

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

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

incredibly distressing to see the successful attacks on free expression currently happening across the internet by christofascist organizations through overreach and political control

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

Occupy ICE is having too much fun. They’re blaring Oingo Boingo, they’ve a giant strobe light flashing on the detention center and this adorable person is wearing a rainbow unicorn outfit and ringing a loud bell.

Zero rest for ICE tonight!

Makes my day every single time I see this little guy scratch n' sniff this pumpkin

This is the platonic ideal of sniffing
