PayPal recently got hacked and someone obtained millions upon millions of emails and passwords and is selling them online. I suggest that you change your PayPal password as quickly as possible

Update: Valve have confirmed to RPS that this withdrawal of support for Steam transactions by one of PayPal's acquiring banks "is regarding content on Steam, related to what we've previously commented on surrounding Mastercard". "In this case, one of PayPal's acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions, which cut off PayPal on Steam for a number of currencies," a Valve spokesperson added.

Big. Valve just stated “one of PayPal’s acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions” due to content “related to what we’ve previously commented on surrounding Mastercard”

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

We took a fairly big hit with all the time Sam had to take off work, if you can help it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, No Matter How Many Times UK Politicians Say So The UK is having a moment. In late July, new rules took effect that require all online services available in the UK to assess whether they host content considered harmful to children, and if so, these services must introduce age checks to prevent children from accessing such content. Online...

When politicians pass laws restricting "pornography," this is what they actually restrict:

video games
romantasy
drag
sex education
healthcare
LGBTQ+ sites
young adult novels
sexual assault resources
dating apps
contraception
social media
Wikipedia
wifi access

With alt text. If enough viewers do this, hopefully it'll send a stronger message than abandoning a handful of small channels.

Validation is nice but actual improvement in material conditions of living makes the difference. Therapy and drugs do not stop the world being shit. We keep asking ourselves "Why am I having anxiety/depression/a panic attack? My world is fine." No your world is the same as it was yesterday.

COMMIT TO THE BIT, KEEP CALLING!

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

PRESSURE WORKS!

Sereen Haddad, a Palestinian student at Virginia Commonwealth University, has defeated baseless charges and had her degree restored after an appeal, a successful pressure campaign, and representation from Palestine Legal.

Sereen has lost 200+ members of her family in Gaza.

If you compare Greta Thunberg's treatment to Chris Smalls' then you can understand why we say that this can all stop as soon as white people decide it's important enough.

Becoming more and more clear that while it's worth empathizing with Itch, the end result is the same. You can no longer trust Itch. It is not the platform it was yesterday. It isn't safe for game makers or customers. It really isn't safe for the LGBT+ community. It never will be again.

The game without sexual content of any type, the game about sexual assault, too adult for visa or mastercard too stomach. Because Visa and Mastercard and payment processors consider discussing the impacts of sexual assault to be tantamount to pornography, which is a loaded fucking implication.
