Hey, it would mean a lot if people could spread this around and help in some way.

Begging for money again $1,079, that's how much the car fix hit me for. I had to do a financing service thing to make the payment. That has bought me a little time, that was still a $220 drop that will put me in the negative. I started a Gofundme for lack of any better ideas: gofund.me/c7d193a0b

Meta is funding all the age verification laws to create a global surveillance state of which they'll hugely benefit (absolutely serious)

Reddit User Uncovers Who Is Behind Meta’s $2B Lobbying for Invasive Age Verification Tech

Meta funneled $2B through nonprofit shells to push age verification laws targeting Apple and Google while exempting its own platforms from surveillance requirements.

Reddit User Uncovers Who Is Behind Meta's $2B Lobbying for Age Verification Tech Discussion

biggest tell to me that big tech *wants* this shit is that they're not beating the drum to oppose this shit like they did back in the day with SOPA

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody with a brain, these laws are not serving their advertised purpose whatsoever

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

This artist has been begging with little to no traction. Can we change that? We are the safety nets that catch us.

Made a gofundme , we desperately need a car asap . We were borrowing a vehicle up until now, and now we need a way to get to work and provide for family Anything helps ;; 🙏❤️ gofund.me/6aaca0f03

Fucking exactly this. The real headache is artists who have been trying to survive on commissions and kofi who need places like this to survive. I hate to be one of them

I mean. . .

Emergency Commissions!! After the earthquake on June 24th (which happened on my 3-year anniversary with my partner), we've been left without a stable place to live. If you're interested in helping, you can contact me via Telegram or private message. t.me/Kouharuto

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

Kinda easy to do when for the past 20+ yrs as a ND person, you felt like art is only the decent thing you're good at. That you thought you could be one of "the good ones" and carve out a niche space in this hellhole society. And now feels like your destiny is either sex work, retail, or death.

Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 3w ago

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

Wow so retro *le gasp*. Anyhow, nice deflection from the layoffs. =^]

I've got to overdraft to pay the rest of July's rent tomorrow. I will not be able to pay the first of August's rent at all because of that. They also just raised my rent. I need to set something up with someone to where I can borrow a bit over $520 just so I can overdraft again to pay rent.

This is rough numbers since I don't know how my rent is going to be split with the raise, and I haven't taken into consideration any overdraft fees I get tomorrow. I'm about as turbofucked as it gets really, I'm just trying to maneuver within my 400 dollar overdraft limits so there may be mistakes

Doodle I did before bed. However, ive been having difficulty sleeping due to allergies/asthma. I ended up spending time cleaning my room. Also, anyone know any Neurodivergent friendly furry discord/telegram groups? Doesn't gotta be fatfur/inflation-related.

I appreciate my friends and loved ones for having so much patience with me. I'm sorry I make you all frustrated at/for me. I just want to not be a disappointment.
