Since my tablet is out of commission for the time being, I took the chance to put together the Trans Gay Zine to give out to folks at cons when they give me the sad dog look when I say my books are transhet.

Hoping this helps them and helps the folks featured too. 14 stories in total!

It’s so fucking cruel right now and I’m so upset it feels like nothing we do is working

I’m not going to stop creating but it’s really so disheartening to be creating in this specific moment when it seems like everyone is coming for our ideas that we want to make. Companies can have bear fucking but god forbid furries make porn. Gay ppl are explicit. Trans people are sexually deviant.

A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes:

You should call your reps. I know they all suck so badly--I know the Congress hates the American people and resents us so much--but you should call. Oppose the "KIDS Act", a bundle of censorious bills that claim to be about kids' safety online, but endanger everyone's data privacy (including kids).

A series of infographics featuring the Cartoonist Cooperative's mascots Inkling (an inkwell) and Nibford (a dip pen) as they share information about what a phone or email zap is. Image one shows Inkling on the phone, reading from a script. Text reads, "What is a phone or email zap? A phone (or email) zap is a coordinated campaign where many people contact a target (such as a company, agency, or representative) to apply pressure and demand action on one issue." The Co-op logo and website appear at the bottom of all three images: https://cartoonist.coop/.

Nibford sits at a desk, calling someone on the phone while looking at their computer screen. Text reads, "How can I organize one? Agree on a target and an issue to collectively press for. Gather scripts ahead of time. Coordinate a time when everyone is available to call/email. Hang out IRL or in a voice call together! Log any feedback and share updates with your fellow zappers! Keep it up until demands are met! This is a marathon, not a race."

Inkling and Nibford jump for joy with confetti raining down around them. Text reads, "And most importantly... celebrate your wins!"

Members, the Coop is calling on you to participate in our upcoming zap sessions to take collective action regarding censorship & pay discrimination for 18+, erotic, and NSFW artists.

Look out on Discord for more info about when and how to join, coming soon.

I am going to draw disturbing, freakish, unsettling porn until the end of time and nothing is going to fucking stop me.

An illustration featuring Briar, a fat butch woman with cropped black hair, and a strange, vaguely demonic-looking humanoid creature. Briar looks up in distress, a bloodied knife in hand, as the creature looms over her, its torso torn open and organs spilling out of its body. The creature seems completely unfazed.

An illustration featuring Briar, a fat butch woman with short black hair, in a state of being cut open. Her skin is being peeled around her torso and face, and the organs within her torso appear to be falling out of her body. Her exposed skull appears as if it's had its front section sliced off, exposing a bit of her brain. In the foreground, an unknown person gently holds her hand.

Individual websites will not save us. Running from platform A to platform B will not work as payment processors and legislation will simply follow our trail

You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this.

Call your reps

this is the kind of content that ends up getting censored with crackdowns on sex and queer content. people trying to help queer (or straight) homeless kids trying to navigate safe ways to get it on--and they will encounter it either way, just like every kid will

I’m so excited for this!!!!

Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet

So many folks gleefully tell me, "They won't ever ban porn, come on! This is America!"

But, we are already seeing them do it. It just isn't a bill that says "No More Porn".

Listen when sex workers tell you to be wary of things. They warned of this for a long time.

A lot of folks fell off bothering payment processors and like, I get it, but we need to start bothering them again. And a lot.

shout-out to the tumblr ads of AI ladies in thongs, legs spread, flashing front and center.

yknow, the same tumblr that will shadow ban accounts that post any two remotely round shapes next to each other.

winter's almost over

My boiling, unalloyed hatred of America & the surrender of what ought to be straightforward free expression into the hands of hypocritical grasping toddlerbrained corpo conglomerates grows more intense day by day. Dogshit fucking country

We have to keep complaining:

This is soooo gorgeous I love the casual posing the comfort and the shade of red you chose it’s gorgeous and lovely!

Under these strictures, near all prestige television would not be allowed. Films lauded in the media canon would not be allowed. Innumerable books, both classics and contemporary beloveds, would not be allowed. The fucking bible wouldn't fly.
Call your reps, call your Paypros, be loud. Please.

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

The Substar TOS looks extremely similar to Patreon's now. Call your reps or we will lose everything

Tell them to stop the payment processor power grab, tell them to vote no on child online safety bills/ID verification. We need everyone
