just like thinking abt how much music and art there is in the world that i’ll just never experience is a very specific kind of soul crushing. I keep having this brand of sleeplessness these days that centers on how small my life is & that it’ll be incomplete in so many ways :(
It hurtie me, aaaaa

I just had another one from building a playlist of all the vgm music on my hard drive and knowing its not even a fraction of all the games ive played, that number in turn not even being a fraction of the games out there & like… man think of how much music that is. An unfathomable amount tbQh

Excluding all the actual horrors going on, i have these like inexplicable heartaches about the human existence that are honestly: real dumb. Like the fact i’ll never see as many colors as butterflies or shrimp for example like just not ever knowing what that’s like weighs on my stupid brain

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

FYI, if you make less than 67K USD a year or are disabled, you can get your taxes done for free by VITA volunteers. The IRS works with them to ensure they know what they're doing. You can find your nearest one here:

also a psa for everyone, most of that means-testing stuff in america is nothing more than scare tactics! i'm in rural iowa and all i had to do was show up at my pharmacy and ask for a covid vaccine. got it right then with no charge or questions asked, just filled a super basic form for their records

And if more journalists + streamers + YouTubers keep ignoring this issue, what they are doing is throwing you — trans, gay, artist, smut customer — to the dogs

YouTube video by Ophie Dokie censorship is coming for you next (& you're cheering it on)

im gonna get yelled at extremely badly for this one but i am right.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

That this is even remotely legal is an egregious failure of regulation of an industry that is clearly out of control.

Make the calls. Complain to MC and Visa.

Call your reps. Tell them that payment processors should be required to process any legal transaction.

I gotta make time to see my local reps about putting in some anti de-banking laws. This shit is ridiculous. Please, if you're a customer we need you calling to these card companies and banks to complain as it is increasingly difficult for artists to do so. They literally put Ana on a list!

The AI bubble needs to burst, because this nonsense is a discriminatory threat to anyone who isn’t a white cis straight civilian

In other words, because my art can be considered anime, and I draw D&D characters, my financial information could get flagged by MasterCard's AI and I'll lose everything. PayPal, Ko-fi, my bank account- everything.

It's not about porn.

I don't know what we're gonna go about this, it seems inevitable that they'll turn this on LGBT people simply for publicly being LGBT, beginning with trans people

They're de-banking people for kink content online now

They'll come for you and your interests next - there's already been movement against vtubers in general, and games like Corpse Party are having their western releases canned over concerns about this stuff

Get loud before it's too late

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators

How To Ditch Spotify and Support Music in the Age of AI Slop There’s no shortage of reasons to quit Spotify in 2025. Artists and fans have been departing the platform in droves because they’re fed up with the company paying artists virtually nothing, using algo...

Hey people if you’ve been wanting to get off Spotify but don’t know how or what to do after, i wrote this guide for @fightforthefuture.org - with tiered steps from alt-casual to ultimate DIY nerd!

They're continuing to starve them on purpose

Trying to get a portfolio & resume together in 3 days is a nightmare even if i Do actually have shit to update with. Dont be like me, gamers, make sure you have good folio hygiene. Brush your pictures for two minutes before going to bed and when you wake up.

if you are in the EU you should be FURIOUS with your leaders for pushing this through in such an undemocratic manner.

continue to raise your voices and contact your representatives. demand that Chat Control be put down for good.

now that the govt shutdown is over, y'all will need to really yell and scream about these bills because many of them are going to be pushed again.

tell your representatives to OPPOSE these shitty policies!

Europeans: they're trying to monitor ALL your messaging under the guise of "child safety"

Now they're pushing through a suped up version in secret. Contact your M(E)Ps through the link!

I've been doing this job for ten years, building a business, focusing on art alone at the expense of other skills to make me employable and I could literally wake up tomorrow and it'll all be gone. Nightmare scenario for all of us in this niche tbh

It's never about protecting the kids, it is about control.

Contact your MP and push back on shit like this while we can.

a friend and i are learning game dev & his project is a fighting game-- he actually built his whole combat system in GMS2 first bc he was more familiar with it & is now in the process of rebuilding it in godot since he knows what he's looking for so i'd say it depends on whats best for your momentum

this is what i've been saying. swerfs play a MASSIVE role in what's going on here, but so does the "you do fandom in an icky way" discourse. it enables fascists to capitalize by propagandizing their viewpoints as ones that self-proclaimed progressives tend to agree with.

"oh it isnt censorship its just getting rid of the icky evil bad fiction!!!" except they're going to keep broadening the definition of 'icky evil bad fiction' until the mundane shit you like is included just for having two men hold hands lol.

Ana lost her patreon to some puritan BS. please support her on subscribestar!

Do you know why I stand for the rights of people with fetishes/kinks? This is why. People are being deplatformed for going against payment processors pressuring websites to censor people from making certain NSFW/kink stuff. Spread the word, it could be YOU next!
