Comm for @ultiudon.bsky.social of their Shaman character! Funnily enough also running a Paper Story game that'll have her in it.

They’re asking for cis people’s forgiveness, not ours, because they know from experience that they’ll get it.

Every Harry Potter actor in the new series who comes out with a statement about how the really do support trans people is just doing PR for the show to try & negate the negative publicity it has attracted because of JKR. True allies wouldn't have taken the role in the first place.

Filler up

Don't forget, Amazon cheerfully provided Ring footage without bothering to ask for a warrant, and there's been reports of employees spying on people through them

People have been saying for the past two years that the Republicans under Trump have been behaving like they thought they were never going to have to face oversight again and that definitely appears to have been the case.

The Trump White House counsel has warned Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia, the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, in a new letter that some of the new majority's investigations could cross the line into criminal behavior. "It's an audacious claim."

The weight of her choices sits heavy on her mind... (and her belly... and her back... and her pelvis... and her...) These Pepper selfies are too fun. :3

The criminalization of face-sitting porn was NEVER a safety thing; the goddamn FIVE YEAR PRISON SENTENCES shoulda clued people in at the barest of minimums. It was always the latest thin blade-point for fascist oppression predominantly targeting women and queer folk bit coming for EVERYONE.

Emboldened by their criminalization of so-called "extreme" content, UK legislators say they're coming for camming next, calling it sex trafficking. 34 UK MPs released a report calling for the complete criminalization of cams and livestreams.

If you think writing to reps and standing up against censorship in porn isn't important let me tell you YES, it is! Freedom of speech and expression should be treated just as important as any other important issue today! Thinking it's not a big deal as X or Y leads to a slippery slope like this.

The push for slop machines in everything is an ideological one, if they succeed in mass adoption and mass de-skilling, it's left with people like Ellison, Musk, Zuck, Bezos etc getting to dictate what is and is not expressible with those tools. It's an inherently fascist endeavor.

Skydance wants to use AI to cut down its $87 billion debt from acquiring Warner Bros. It'll make these savings largely by laying off people and replacing their work with AI. An unknown number of people have already been laid off from Skydance Games. (Read more at Cartoon Brew)

hey reminder that generally speaking youre gonna get more mileage out of directing your anger over AI towards your representatives and giving them an earful/mailboxful, than shouting into the void on social media, no matter what your actual take on the topic du jour is

Dieselbrain@dieselbrain.bsky.social · 6d ago

I wrote up a very basic script tor mailing physical letters to your representatives after this week's US midterms. I highly recommend hand writing these, but obviously do whatever is within your means. Also i am almost certainly missing issues here, lord knows there's so many, so add your own

Seen a few "but AI isn't bad for the environment" posts today and uh, a reminder that the AI industry itself is telling our politicians that their existence is incompatible with European climate goals, so maybe that's not great? www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Important update: after previously signaling that it would cave to Trump's pressure, Michigan has announced that it will be restoring Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care for trans youth. Pressure works, y'all. Don't let up on Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Virginia.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 4w ago

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

hey you know, one way you can counter this bullshit campaign is by being loud and obnoxious in reverse bother your reps and tell them how Sex workers and adult content creators deserve protection under the law so freaks like Collective Shout can't ruin normal people's lives

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 4d ago

Collective Shout, the antiporn group behind the crackdown on Steam, says it will launch a campaign Monday targeting sex workers on TikTok, calling it an “OnlyFan pipeline” This isn’t about exploitation or porn access. They want to eliminate sex worker voices from the public square

Hey you know how the Brazilians beat the right? They stopped amplifying all of their trash propaganda and instead boosted stuff that would replace it and build up the good stuff they needed to drown them out. Here's a good thing we have here at home, and you can donate monthly. I do.

To be absolutely clear: This was another Y2K situation. Lots and lots of people worked diligently for months and years, at great cost, taking hours away from their friends & family, to make our elections a bit more free and fair. Voting was still threatened! It still took record-breaking turnout!

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 5d ago

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

“Tech billionaires… are not your constituents.” Community organiser Katie Dapkus went viral last month after telling Kentucky city councillors that “the people could not be clearer” about rejecting data centres, unregulated AI, and surveillance technology.

Cw: Digestion and fat butts Comm for @velkno.bsky.social Guess the little gutslut got what they wanted~

If youre calling and mailing your representatives, you should also be mentioning how you believe adult creators are being targeted and demonized, and that you believe adult content deserve legislative protection so groups like Collective Shout cant run this shit over and over again
