Announcement - Introducing cutiecove.games! A single hub presenting works from those at Cutie Collective including Crystal, Froey, Tangled Virus, and Roziemel Baranymph.

Good Morning!

Today we are announcing the official opening of cutiecove.games!

A hub where all the contributors of Cutie Collective can share their work in one place including: @aircrystal.bsky.social, @froey.bsky.social, @tangledvirus.itch.io, and @rozenymph.bsky.social.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Screenshot referring to the Legend of Zelda: "Dawn of the final day. 24 hours remain."

Article screenshot with the headline: "Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025." The article body cuts off after explaining updates will be ending October 14th.

What a great preview, looking forward to finishing it together!

Text on a rainbow backdrop. To the right of the text is a graphic showing three stalls marked 'you', with arrows connecting them to the stylized logo of Conjured Ink. The text reads: We at Conjured Ink are working to provide a user-controlled "bazaar" that is censorship-resistant. That means for creatives, you'll be able to make customizable "market stalls" to share and sell your works. For buyers, you'll be able to support your favorite creators free from the stress of blanket bans.

Conjured Ink is a community of creatives, developers, and supporters building software, support structures, and curated documentation to make it easy for people who make things to be able to share it or sell it independently, without relying exclusively on large platforms.

now is a good time to call your 🇺🇸reps about the age verification data leak on discord: www.theverge.com/news/792032/...

and payment processors on censorship and overreach: screenrant.com/manga-planet...

linking new developments so that you have something recent to bring up in your calls💥📣

A Tumblr post from the-modern-typewriter reading: "How can you not be angry?" am angry" the werewolf said. "But unlike you, don't have the luxury of showing it without being called a monster. Without someone taking it as a sign of proof thatI need to be put down like a rabid dog, that I'm just like what the stories tell you." "But everyone gets angry...that's human." "Up until the point when you're not human" And the response from mckitterick: such a wonderful metaphor for anyone Othered by society

Weird how this *remains relevant*

Petition Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored. • More details Sign this petition 231 signatures Show on a map 10,000

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition

hopefully your computer is okay! 😵

Yes, it's terrifying, but it's terrifying in an extremely obvious, easy-to-understand way that affects even the most normy friend you know.

In terms of narrative? Paypal is handing us an early Christmas present. Use it.

This is absolutely something we should be fucking *nailing* them with.

If this dies down and we don't another round of coverage over this from mainstream reporters, we have thrown away an amazing opportunity.

Paypal doing this shit makes the issue so much more real, this can be a PR *nightmare*.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage?

This is a GIFT.

"You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here.

People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Also a reminder that when FDOT claims street murals need to be removed for "safety," they are lying and they know they are lying, because they have research that shows street art makes streets SAFER

Post from disgruntled Karen about a dig at JK Rowling in Duolingo referring to her as "mean." Author says "trans ideology" is infecting Duolingo

Duolingo: We apologise for any offence caused and will remove this content from the app.

If you needed any more reasons not to use Duolingo to learn Japanese or other languages, they're now catering to transphobes.

good shit by @collectivesh0ut.bsky.social

More seriously: You cannot reckon with the current attacks on science without reckoning with the recent history of attacks on gender-affirming medicine. Conservatives were validated by the New York Times in a vibes-based overthrow of good science, emboldening them to move on to all areas of science.

LMAO hey look, the NYT just published the playbook for opponents of gender-affirming care for young people.

Do your calls, send mail! Pressure and constant annoyance are the only things these companies will understand! Don't let them decide what you can or not spend your money on! Nor let them decide how you can or not make a living!

We need to fight them now or they'll try to control more and more!

pixel art shows the numerals 1 through 56 over a background of lesbian pride flag colors. each number is on a section of a rainbow striped worm that's broken into lines like a platforming game. there are transgender pride color mario sprites throughout.

🏃💨 We've passed $56,000 for queer artists! Get over 600 games and projects for $60 (or $10+), less than the price of one AAA game . . . even adjusted for inflation from 1985.
