the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.
however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

I saw somebody on TikTok using the word 'slopper' as a slur for people who use ChatGPT, and that's a thing we should start doing.

The NSFW games ban currently hitting game platforms comes from the same kind of people that lobbied for UK bathroom bills and used to pilot police crackdowns at gay bars.
It's yet another proxy to force LGBT people and sex workers out. Let's not go down quietly.

I found that calling this Visa number didn't work, as the people here can only handle complaints regarding cards and accounts from what I can tell (unless I'm doing something wrong?) I did however find what appears to be the number for Visa's headquarters. Do with that what you will

Hereโ€™s a short script:
โ€œHello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isnโ€™t rescinded and fixed."

Major Indie Marketplace Itch.io Shadowbans NSFW Content, Trans Authors Impacted A dangerous escalation against free speech and literary preservation from a longtime haven for transfeminine literature.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: In a dangerous evening escalation of the anti-porn war on the gaming industry, indie platform @itch.io has banned a number of NSFW titles and delisted thousands of others.

Trans authors are caught in the crossfire.

MasterCard, Visa, and anti-porn group Collective Shout drove the ban.

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.

Letโ€™s change gears. Do some good

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

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: 

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. 
 
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. 
 
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

I created a block/mute list for AI accounts so they won't flood your timeline during october art challenges. Just hit subscribe and decide to mute or block all at once. There are more than 150 accounts so far, and I'll keep adding to the list.
