The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
along other potential outcomes, like DHS keeping a “derogatory” file on you, it sounds like your privileges will get quickly suspended. there’s a mention of this happening to a woman in NYT today.
A witch is accidentally splashed by a freshly brewed aphrodisiac potion while it's being poured because she is not wearing proper PPE.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
a friend of a friend of my cousin told me s'mores is good on her word. you got nothing to worry about.
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.
There will be all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork to ensure that the only result of the Epstein files coming out is more restrictions on sex work and more censorship. They can and will use it as an excuse to make sex workers less safe.
Blender is up there with Wikipedia as one of very few truly good things on the internet at this point. Please support them while you can, blender has done so much for artists!
and indie artists and sex workers are getting crucified for existing
hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
I cannot stress enough that your calls — and your social media posts — on this issue DO matter and WILL impact things long-term
But you have to call
"Gay people should just create their own stuff" Webfishing dev got doxxed because their game was too gay, you guys literally don't let us have anything
You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.
With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.
Also, censorship campaigns are especially dangerous because they can actively interfere with attempts to organize against them, and whatever happens to follow.
If platforms are allowed to decide what you can and can't say, regardless of law, what's to prevent them gagging anyone who raises alarm?
"Ugh stop involving politics with porn, I just wanna get off" I'm sorry to break it to you but porn has been political for years now. There's people in power working to outlaw your porn. They'll keep trying and if they finally succeed it'll be bc enough people chose to bury their head in the sand.

Facing backlash and mounting pressure, Mastercard denies responsibility for adult content bans — despite evidence and industry responses suggesting otherwise. Your calls are working. Keep it up.

Did you call your censorious overlords today? Don't forget to complete your dailies!!

*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?"
Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.
If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.
Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.
Spread this pls.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet.
Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions.
The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.
It really is now or never. Both paypros and government are making the big push to effectively kill the internet. We might be talking about porn now but porn is step one in a process that moves blindingly fast
