yes it works!! We were able to stop KOSA last year because of the House GOP not supporting it

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it.

Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

I stayed up way too late to finish this!

Wrath.

Complaint Letter Template Customer Complaint Dept, This message is to lodge an official complaint about the ongoing rampant restrictions your company has placed on legal sales made by legitimate businesses. These restrictions are not only counter to the concept of freedom of speech and expression, but they harm consumers, businesses, and they harm your company’s bottom line. The following actions are absolutely necessary to protect the freedoms of your client base and the sustainability of legitimate business practices: Remove from your Terms of Service any mention barring the use of your service for sale and purchase of legal products. Contact Steam (Valve), Itch.io, and any other company you have previously put pressure on to retract your content restrictions. Put in place protections to prevent such restrictions from being put in place in the future without ample warning and time to contest them. If these changes aren't made then I, along with many others will be forced to seek other options for processing payments. Sincerely, A Concerned Customer.

When making a call, you will likely get asked to submit an email instead.

Firmly but politely tell them "No thank you, I'd rather do this personally over the phone."

Put it on them to spend company resources dealing with this issue in a manner that is not efficient for *them*.

Fools gotta learn.

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms:

This thread contains everything you need to fight back!

- A script

Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

YEEEEEEEEEEE

Coming soon to a rebuild near you: Folders!!! That's right: Finally, you'll be able to categorize your art into easily sortable collections! 📁

Pillowfort has also been optimized for mobile use! It isn't just a platform for desktops, only. Our Developer Team is in the final stages of preparing our progressive web app (we're building a mobile app this way to avoid having Google and Apple Store policies).

And we're also free to join!

We also allow adult content (including kink) on Pillowfort. We pay higher server fees and have limited means of being funded (PayPal ended their relationship with us) because we allow adult content.

Over the years we have made continuous improvements to how adult content is viewed on Pillowfort.

We don't shadow ban or limit reach if you post a link. You are encouraged to share your Ko-Fi, Your Patreon, Your shop, your Etsy, Your Bluesky, Your Dreamwidth, your OnlyFans, etc, etc, etc

Bluesky incentivizes engaging and communicating with each other (which we love!) Pillowfort does similar via our User Communities.

For example: If you create art of Moo Deng, we would encourage you to reblog it to a Community like PillowArtists (which has 6.5k users) and ArtistAlley (4.35K).

Enjoying Bluesky? You might also enjoy Pillowfort, too!

We're an indie blogging platform (versus microblogging on here).

The TLDR: We're user-funded, we don't sell user data, we banned Gen AI, and we have extensive privacy controls so you can control how your content is curated and shared.

May Funding Update: $1,540 of $7,000 (22% of the way there!) 100% of funds raised go toward keeping Pillowfort's lights on. If 273 people donate $20 by April 30, we'll reach our goal! Hi! We're Pillowfort, a user-funded, woman-owned indie blogging platform. We're pro-2SLGBTQIA+, pro-NSFW, anti-AI, and anti-fascist. If you enjoy platforms like Bluesky, Dreamwidth, or Mastodon, we think you'll like Pillowfort too. We don't use marketing algorithms or sell user data, generative ai is banned from our platform, and our users will always be higher priority than corporate greed. Donate here: pillowfort.social/donations

Thanks to the support of Pillowfort users, we're on our way toward our monthly funding goal for May! Support an independent platform and help keep Pillowfort's lights on: pillowfort.social/donations

I've seen a lot of posts incorrectly say you have to call your reps about the SCREEN Act. while the Screen Act is definitely worth calling about, that is not what is being brought before the Senate on thursday

What you need to call your reps about is the "S.5260 Interstate Obscenity Definition Act"

I am calling to make a comment to [your Rep's name]'s about S.1671 aka the "Interstate Obscenity Definition Act" Thank you. My name is [your full name], and I live at [address]. I’m calling to urge [elected official’s name] to vote "NO" on S.1671 aka the "Interstate Obscenity Definition Act" . I care about this because: -The wording is vague and do not do anything to effectively protect children -The bill would infringe upon constitutional, legal expression made by consenting adults -This bill would be used to censor speech and criminalize people under the guise of "obscenity", especially by the current Trump Administration -it would push people and communities underground, making them more vulnerable to abuse -[anything else you can think of]

I've made a script [with the CORRECT bill number] you can use. additionally, i recommend reading this guide on how to contact your reps

You can find your reps here:

WIP panel preview

I'm as much a fan of our kind and gentle Pact Marshal as the next person, but I confess I'm just as fond of Trahearne's more "fierce" side alluded to in the canonical story - something "The Harbinger's Path" will explore that I've always wanted to see :D
