I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

The fact it only took roughly 1,000 calls from Collective Shout for MasterCard and Visa to start pulling this shit, and that we're well over 1,000 calls at least opposed to this bullshit should prove that payment processers agree with this stuff at an executive level, they just needed the push.

i cannot stress this enough: do not plan a vacation in the fascist empire of america

Hey ttrpg folks: I am looking for a character artist for an upcoming project! Ideally want to work w/ someone comfortable drawing high fantasy inspired characters. Open to a variety of styles, and if you have an easily attached image or link with your rates that would be greatly appreciated!

Main line directs you to this number anyway.
Call this and give them hell even on voice mail.

People need to keep in mind this is the line. The reason we have such a breadth of styles and niches of adult content now is because people can make a living off of it. If we have our incomes demolished, 90%+ will have to stop and disappear. Action matters now more than it ever has before.

Well guys, I need to make some quick money due to some personal stuff, so I decided to open 5 sketch slots!

I made a form for anyone who's interested!

link to the sketch commission form (forms.gle/KveXtWvvMK62...)

While drawing some spicy stuff has kept me from getting one or two gigs with particular ✨BRANDS™️✨, I’m so glad I started drawing spicier stuff because it’s absolutely changed my relationship to my own body, sexuality and thoughts on desirability.

Specifics of this adoptable are detailed below:

A lovingly drawn digital illustration of a bowl of Bun Bo Hue - a Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup. The bowl contains a variety of thin beef cuts, pork cuts, and Vietnamese pork ham. The broth has a deep brown colour with a bright orange layer of chilli oil on top. Uncooked ingredients of the bowl decorate the bottom of the illustration. Comic-style narration boxes read: This broth is a sweet, spicy, and deeply savoury ambrosia. Shrimp paste and fish sauce pack one hell of an umami punch! Lime and classic aromatics add a light touch to the hearty chili lemongrass beef stock. A variety of meat cuts bring texture, with silken pork being my favourite!

Another lovingly illustrated digital art of a bowl of Banh Canh - Vietnamese udon noodle soup. The "udon" in question is actually drop rice noodle that's thick and slightly translucent. Swimming in the sea of sweet pork broth are cooked pork cuts, hock hams, blocks of congealed pig's blood, cooked shrimps, chicken liver, and a quail egg nestled amongst chives, lettuce, and other herbs. These ingredients also decorate the bottom of the illustration. Comic-style narration boxes read: The sweet and savoury pork bone broth is tanged up by herbs and an irresistible aromatic layer of garlic oil. Thick and chewy, almost translucent rice noodles swim in an ocean of pork and sea food. The toppings vary everywhere you go: quail eggs, pig's blood, pork liver... My mom served hers with stir-fried crab!

Another lovingly drawn illustration of a bowl of Hu Tieu Bo kho - Vietnamese beef stew with rice noodles. The broth is a deep brown colour in which chunky cuts of carrots and stewed beef float. The rice noodles are strewn a top layers of bean sprouts, spring onion, and other herbs and spices. These ingredients decorate the bottom of the illustration. Comic-style narration boxes read: slightly thick broth coats every single strand of chewy rice noodle in warm, powerful spices. Seemingly intimidating chunky cuts of carrot and beef melt so tenderly on the tongue. Absent as he (my dad) was, his Hu Tieu Bo Kho was always imbued with such a familial comforting presence. One I still treasure to this day.

Funnily enough, just last year I attempted for the first time to draw and write about the Vietnamese dishes that meant a lot to me for @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social 's Patreon pledge drive 🐻💖 (read the full comic there!). It's one of the comics I'm most proud of to this day! Some illustrative excerpts:

RFK Jr’s health department to halt $500m in mRNA vaccine research Agency to end 22 federal contracts, questioning safety of technology credited with helping end Covid pandemic

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call…

Visa is now actively shutting down calls regarding their censorship and prohibition of the sale of legal product.

They clearly retrained their staff on how to deal with our calls. That doesn't happen unless there's critical mass.

KEEP IT UP. They are trying to turf the calls as fast as they can.

Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet.

Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions.

The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.

I spent time calling Mastercard today, and you can too!

For real, pressure campaigns are hard, they require sustained action, and that's challenging.

But the good news is that you're not alone - making a call fills in the gap for someone who is burned out. This is a team effort - we got this!

These two could be just regular friends of yours, posting on this site like anybody.

They're trying to get by until aid is formally let in. Until then.... why not buy them lunch, or dinner??

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

I need work. To survive, thrive, pay bills, and keep my head up.

But despite my efforts, the world has been silent in response.

If you or anyone you know needs a games writer, a copywriter, a game designer, an editor, a world builder, or a sensitivity consultant, or even a paid playtester, call!

One more hat. Where do they keep going?

The people who believe they NEED laws to ban porn do so because they lack self control and need God to tell them that it's bad to do sex crimes.

They think legal porn is a "slippery slope" because deep down they have disgusting urges and blame YOU for "tempting" them.

Check his hard drives.

No, it's not only the US who will suffer from RFK Jr cancelling vaccine research.

1️⃣ You can't just instantly teleport research projects. Cancelling US projects slows global progress.

2️⃣ Preventing pandemics will always be a group project. The US is letting the team down & putting the world at risk.

An infograph meme quoting a moment from the movie "The Incredibles". There is black text that reads: Alright, listen closely. I'd like to help you with the ads, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to click on the gear icon and select "Report Playback Issue". But I can't. I also do not advise you to select anything related to how the advertisement is offensive or inappropriate; I wouldn't expect Twitch to do something about the ICE ads if they get flooded with enough reports. Below, there are images that are as follows: From left to right, top to bottom. Mr Incredible whispering to an old lady in an office building. A screenshot of Twitchs' Settings menu with "Report Playback Issue" highlighted. A close-up of Mr Incredible whispering. A screenshot of Twitchs' Report Playback Issue menu with a dropdown menu containing options.

In Gaza, hunger doesn’t knock — it moves in.
It tucks the children into bed with empty stomachs.
It whispers through the night louder than the bombs.
We need food. We need safety. We need the world to care.
Please don’t scroll past our pain 💔🙏🏻
