TRANS. IMMIGRANTS. TRANS IMMIGRANTS ARE AT RISK. PUT THAT IN THE FUCKING HEADLINE. TRANS FUCKING IMMIGRANTS ARE AT RISK. PUT US IN THE FUCKING HEADLINE.
As long as they know why you called and that you're furious, that's enough. You are not a lawyer or government official or whatever, it doesn't have to be done in corpospeak or a formal speech. Call and scream if you have to.
Jesus christ. Facebook sees internet regulation coming -- rather than stop it, they create organizations that will hold data for all of these companies to offload responsibility onto them, then lobby their already-bought politicians to pass policy that gives their new business a use.
If you are canadian, please spread and sign this petition!
Tremendously happy for InCase. It's VANISHINGLY rare for long-form webcomics, particularly those of the scope, quality, and ambition of Alfie, to make it all the way to the finish line. It's a mammoth, backbreaking labor of love, and InCase deserves all the flowers you can give him.
If you all live in Canada, please sign this petition immediately! Your rights will be screwed if you donβt do something about it.
Great North Minneapolis aid opportunity

It was one man who wrote a crazy book claiming comics brainwashes kids into being criminals and caused a moral panic. This was the early 1950s. Look up the long list of criteria and a lot of it will look like a carbon copy of TOSβs like webtoons.
People will not realize the impact the SubStar bans and so on will have until it starts hitting their own personal tastes and interests, but increasingly what's happening is the narrowing of new pornographic content into a more vanilla direction. And then even that will narrow further.
Re: contacting your reps: don't overthink your method too much. Just contact. Express your concerns. And do it often. Once a week, if you can.
We need action now. No hesitation because you're worried "what is best" or "how you sound" -- these are things you'll get better at doing so just ACT.
im grabbing your hand to tell you. itβs not too late to start wearing a mask again. itβs better to wear a mask 1/4 of the time (or whatever your percent looks like) than not at all. thereβs no shame in starting to be covid safe again even if you havent been for a long time. its okay
This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

if you wanna, you know, fight for your rights, then i'd also sign this
πͺπΊπ HUGE VICTORY! Thanks to your protests, the EU Parliament voted today to END untargeted mass scanning! πͺ
But beware: The final decision will now be made in the trilogue with EU governments. The fight continues! βοΈ

In the eyes of the law, under the jurisdiction of fascist governments and oligarchies, you have more in common with a lolisho creator than you have with those who actually control the world we live in
It is the truth of the matter.
Btw, if it's not clear:
The tactic the right is using rn is to start censoring fetishes and kinks that are generally accepted to be "bad" or "gross" by most people to slowly warm us up to the idea of censoring all sexual expression online.
Don't fall for this by going "this is actually based!!"
The current Canadian government is trying to fast track Bill C-9, "the Combatting Hate Act" through Parliament. This bill is an attempt to squash and silence people's legal right to protest and strike.
Please take a moment to sign this petition opposing C-9.

I never wanna hear anyone discourse Abt the ethics of furry porn again because face it we are jerking off to an anthropomorphic animal and I honestly don't care because people are gonna lose their jobs to puritanical laws and restrictions holy shit
I never want to hear anyone say how much easier NSFW artists have it when it comes to making money ever again.
try it yourself.
No???
Then shut the fuck up.
For trans people, online resources and community are lifelines. The spread of age verification laws combined with anti-trans ID laws will block access to these lifelines. This is by design.

No one should have to submit to invasive surveillance practices to access the resources they need to survive and thrive. People should be raising hell about this! www.stoponlineidchecks.org
Today the EU Parliament said NO. β
Voluntary scanning by Outlook, Gmail, LinkedIn, etc. might come to an end on April 6 in the EU. Keep pushing everyone! ππ₯³
This is highly important for Americans. The Fed is highly independent and has teeth. This isn't just about art, either, but speech in general. Please comment if you can, and leave your information on your comment if you're willing. They are likely to listen if enough public support shows itself.
Theyre only going after in-game gambling/loot boxes as a means to get age verification in the door
The only hardline is whether someone is *actually* hurting someone else irl. Feeling grossed out/offended is not the same as getting hurt and assuming someone is dangerous from the fiction they consume is cop shit. Thought Crimes are a fascist concept, censorship is a tool of oppression.
The Federal Reserve System (Board) is inviting public comment on new guidelines in regard to debanking of persons & orgs regarding lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.
Comments due by April 27, 2026.
www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
(1/2) hello!
we are in direct communication with the Free Speech Coalition, a sex worker trade association combating overreach of debanking & porn laws.
tl;dr - YES it's a good idea to comment on this as ero creatives. the FSC is also submitting a comment.
They've just removed most of this segment about the types of anthros that are allowed, but this wasn't some fluke. Those rules were carefully typed. It's just waiting in the wings now.
The puritan payment processors still hold the reins and they can do whatever they like.
Don't get too comfortable.
