“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

YES HOLY FUCK FINALLY!

Joker Festival in a nutshell #SonicRacingCrossWorlds

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

just in case anyone hasnt said this you can be against censorship while also having boundaries. all those people that make you uncomfortable, you are more than welcome to not want to be around them but you should still advocate for their right to create those things that make you uncomfortable.

On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.

boss the fascism

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

I was preparing to try out my Blood Lily attack for the very first time. I had it all charged up… and then… I got cucked 🥺

New scam warning

Please block and report anyone doing this, it's NEVER legitimate

Reminder,

Twitch (and other platforms) don't allow creators to control what ads are run on their streams, videos/VODs, podcasts, etc.

PLEASE don't instantly assume we want this. We're very likely just as pissed off (if not more) than you are about this.

Help us yell at the platform instead.

Reminder: When you pay for something through PayPal DO NOT SAY SHIT IN THE NOTES. Do not write “furry”, “vore”, “paws”, do not write “thnx for the sexy art”, do not write fucking ANYTHING other than the most VAGUE “art” or “thnx” or whatever.

As a Japanese citizen, I'm glad to see a movie that is written & directed by a Japanese director (HIKARI), who is from Osaka. The storyline is shown in the trailer is believable.

I actually feel like watching this movie because I have less worries about being subjected to some orientalist bullshit.

Hey. So.

As someone with a bisexual sister, if you are biphobic in any capacity, then I will never be a friend to you. I don’t care if you fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. Being biphobic is stupid as fuck and you can fuck off with that nonsense.

Thanks 🙂

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net

my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

You didn't think we'd forget about you two, did you?
All payment processors get love! :)

While Mastercard and Visa are drowning, these two have been feeling a bit neglected. u_u
