In this troubled time of internet censorship and livelihood disruption, please don't forget to spare a thought for my people, the real victims in all this: those being forced to reconsider or rescind their previously unconditional support of Australian Women's Wrongs.

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.

Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.

Keep it up

Porn is art cope cope cope cope cope cope cope

Good lord, Ashley Finch has the sincerity disease. Millions weep.

There likely WILL be a Halloween special but that's only because I'll be on ADHD medication soon and I imagine finishing last year's unfinished Halloween special won't be such a daunting task then.

Think I just have to accept I'm not doing Holiday tie-ins this year. It's just gone Juicy July and it's about to be 8/8 and I've plans for both that aren't going to materialise.

In fairness, they probably correctly ascertained that "we, Only "The Porn Subscription Website" Fans, have independently decided not to allow porn any more" was gonna be too big for anyone with sense to swallow.

It's because as an American you can't resist moving the pronunciation of all words wherever possible closer to the platonic perfection of "Burgers"

@trinketbirdy.bsky.social's posts are a good place to start for any of you who somehow can't bear to listen to someone still in the industry, but these were widespread incidents so most folks who were in those scenes at those times should have some insight.

It's invaluable and it's material we can take forward to the next cycle about how these PP ghouls work... except none of you seem to be aware of any of the times this happened before because you don't listen to any sex workers, so it's apparently useless information.

Itch are being the most transparent any major service hit with this hammer have ever been. We never got concrete information about what was going on like this out of Steam or Patreon or fucking Onlyfans.

Like damn you guys make jack off fuel but you don't jack off yourselves?

I really feel like anyone who is still holding on to being mad at Itch is primarily exposing that they don't know or follow any sex workers tbh.

Or even anyone who's ever BEEN a sex worker for that matter.

It's kind of embarrassing.

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

A cooking competition TV show where each episode the host eats the contestant with the losing dish.

Sent you a discord FR!

The fact that itchio is looking into alternate payment options and talking about all this like an ongoing situation instead of being like "these are the new rules and always will be, fuck off" says a lot about how much they care about this. I know you want to yell at them but they're working hard

Frodo Baggins, collapsed on the ground behind a rock ridge. The eye of Sauron is in the background- not looking at him right now, but it could at any time.

Me just trying to get paid some silly little pocket change for my silly little stories by my silly little fans:

Your eye of Sauron metaphor on the scrench might have been IYO overused, but it is accurate. Sure, only the things that have its attention directed to them get got... but at the end of the day even if it's not looking at you it's still the fuckoff evil tower of Barad-dûr and means only ill.

this is who visa and mastercard lets decide what you are permitted to buy

You heard them folks: ayulaoneone.itch.io

Well, people should give you money either way

Thankfully it isn't my livelihood as I don't rely on it for income. UNthankfully my actual source of income was threatened on the same day, so I actually could use the cash anyway.

In the interim while we figure out if Mastercard and Visa get to decide if porn gets to exist, a role I didn't think they were allowed to have but okay, it's more important than ever to share/retweet the links to your favourite creators and their content. For as long as we're able to, I guess.

Trans community policing inflation domme who punishes "Pick me" girls by turning them into bloated fruits.

bluesky post that went waaaaaaaaaaay over the character limit "I guess to try and not be Glib for a moment, my point is that the wider Morality In Porn debate carries with it this unspoken idea (not pushed by any one side, it's just sort of In The Air with the way people talk about this I think) that adopting a position of support for marginalised creatives being targeted by evangelicals and payment processors necessarily requires renouncing any discomfort you may have towards a topic or fetish; that you Have to go YEAH THAT'S FUCKIN RIGHT when that one oomf you have talks about wanting to rape their little sister or you're a bad ally. But you're totally allowed to think The Online Panopticon and The Branding Of Sin are horrifying while also being personally repulsed by incest porn or 16 year old anime girls or whatever personally gives you the ick. The Ick is not something you should base your morals around, but it is something you should base your consumption around. The thought is not the underlying issue here, it's how you act on it. I have long since stopped endorsing calling someone out for having a fetish in and of itself, but even in that case you absolutely retain the right to make the scrunched up kermit face when you see some of those fetishes on your feed before hitting the mute or even block button. You're even allowed to riff! My friends riff on my fetishes that they don't have or think are weird all the goddamn time! I did some riffing two paragraphs ago!"

jeez trying to actually be serious about this not only went over the character limit but it nearly hit the *alt text* character limit

Remember, pornographers have always been on our side. Brave, ready to fight for our rights. Smut is our friend.

I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.

Sorry, but it would be the pinnacle of cringe to let a bunch of white australians be the reason for us to stop sharing or being able to put some bread on the table with our stories

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World

because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Let’s change gears. Do some good

Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination
