If you've ever complained abt untagged porn you should also have put in a call to your reps about protecting the rights of adult content creators If you have the energy to complain about a minor inconvenience but not when they literally want to throw us in jail then I can't take you seriously

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Tove Janssonin ja suomalaisen taiteen päivänä, tässä muutama käsin maalattu guassityö. It is Tove Jansson's birthday and the day of Finnish art, here are a few paintings I've created with gouache paint. Tove Jansson inspiroi, aina!

I'll be back to streaming today (playing 1000xResist for the first time!) but I'll be starting around 1pm PST instead of noon, as I have a few things I still need to finish up this morning before then. :3

Also follow people when you like someone’s art. I’ll repost someone (who has like 25 followers) using our refs, the art will be gorgie gorge, the post will get 100 likes, but their followers wont go up. Unacceptable behavior.

Please remember that it's us that moves posts around on Bluesky, there's not a central algorithm like Twitter or Tumblr or Instagram. If you like art, repost art! Leave comment on art! Even if it's just emotes, it means the world to every artist.

Because it apparently needs to be said: I have never fucking used the AI/LLM/chatbot/plagiarism machine and I never fucking will. If you use it, I think you're a bad person.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
