Shout out to me for being an ethnically ambiguous, adopted, autistic, queer, goth weirdo Growing up raised/surrounded by an NT, very white family who rediscovered Christianity & thought I was in league w the Devil They never broke me nor my ideals/beliefs; I can be proud to be almost 50 & still ME

Listening and learning from one of the greats

We are stuck togethir on a tinye beautiful driftinge rocke wyth nobodye outsyde and nobodye cominge to save us. We are the onlye ones heere yn a wild expanse of night and silence. We sholde be lovinge each othir all the tyme. We sholde be greetinge each othir "hey, miracle!" We sholde be daunsinge.

Like....there are people who ask chat gpt for help with basic math. My guy the CACULATOR is pre installed

Next up is @bardvergil.bsky.social's Longer Than You'd Think, a cautionary tale about meeting your childhood heroes.

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

"I code so others can dream." Gayming Icon and LGBTQ+ video game pioneer, Rebecca Heineman, has sadly passed away after a short, tough fight with aggressive cancer. Read our obituary to this true industry trailblazer: gaymingmag.com/2025/11/gaym...

Trans people have exhaustively detailed the links between the anti-trans and anti-abortion movements, we warned that transphobia was a wedge issue for the religious right to roll back women's rights, only for us to be ignored, and of course UK TERFs are setting their sights on abortion.

Jess O'Thomson@jessothomson.co.uk · 9mo ago

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies. This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

Holy crap, look at this, then click in and see MORE.

A BIG @kickstarter.com pledge cancelled. We dropped 14% overnight. It happens. If this story matters to you: RT, share, tell someone. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks The Mami Wata doesn't go down that easy. We're going to make this film! #projectwelove #kickstarter #indiefilm #defiant

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

Blu! 🔜 APA! '26@nakufin.bsky.social · 9mo ago

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

this is absolutely coming out of left field, but. interested in making my very first roblox game- a 1st person horror roguelike- but i kind of need a team for it- p sure I can't do it on my own. if anyone is interested and/or knows some good advice, feel free to reply! #roblox #robloxgamedev

happy 10-year anniversary

Sent more letters and made my calls. The MasterCard line wouldn't even connect so I left a message with the CEO instead. I'm going up North for a few days, good luck out there everyone! New Important Resource: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...

Let's Keep Calling!

I should add that for the first time in a while the VISA rep was very candid with me. She said that they keep bringing this up to the managers and asking for help/instructions but aren't getting anything from higher-up. So as a reminder: DO NOT BE A DICK TO THE REPS!!!!

Visa and Mastercard have retrained their employees to lie and shut us down, including giving them permission to hang up on us. We have to switch to a new line of attack.

Bologna Amputation@bolognaamputation.bsky.social · last yr.

"As a shareholder, I am gravely concerned with the financial irresponsibility of cutting off a legal stream of revenue based on the actions of one small group of activists. If action is not taken to remedy this, I may be forced to sell my shares while they still have value."

ComData is the company that handles Mastercard customer service- calling Comdata could possibly help put pressure on Mastercard.

Damn fucked up how the duopoly that's super powerful and nobody can stand-up against has to fold against a government policy all of a sudden and it's the policy of one government dictating what every other nation does. Keep calling Visa/MasterCard. Fuck 'em. They can stop this shit whenever.

So instead of addressing any issues, Mastercard is FURTHER supressing criticism. They're panicking. Don't. Stop. Calling.

I think it's more helpful to quote retweet bad news in it with what steps to take to fix it or spread the word to fix it, instead of "it's all hopeless we're fucked it's so over I'm screwed." Don't just stand there and say things are hopeless because it drags others down too and nothing gets fixed

Today's reminder to keep the pressure on! They're hoping we'll shut up, get tired or bored, and just walk away. If we keep trashing their operational metrics, they'll fold first.

Destroy the SCREEN Act. Destroy KOSA. Never stop calling. Never stop mailing. Never stop screaming. This administration is FURIOUS that the entire population didn’t become bootlickers overnight, and our right to a free and open internet is the biggest reason why.

I called my rep (Blue district). Mentioned the KOSA and the SCREEN act, how it's censorious and even a National Security threat, citing Social Security leaks He said that they've gotten hundreds of calls about KOSA (nice) but they didn't hear about the SCREEN act since it's "not bi-partisan." 🤔

“Ask for what actually fixes the problem — and then go out there and fight for it.” On Monday, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social came to NYC to talk about universal childcare, and why we shouldn’t listen to billionaires who say making life affordable for working families isn't possible.

None of us are free until *all* of us are free ✨

I desperately beg of other countries to stand up to this fuck. We’re trying here too but ffs other countries need to respond to this.

ProPublica@propublica.org · last yr.

During several speeches before the U.N., U.S. delegates have denounced so-called “gender ideology” or pushed for language that “recognizes women are biologically female and men are biologically male," which leaves no room for the existence of intersex, transgender and nonbinary people.

Keep calling. This issue can't die. It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo. The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!
