18+ nsfw profile. Adult content. Minors will be immediately blocked. I share art I admire here and sometimes issues related to the art world.

Wanted to note: I don’t typically respond to PMs on here as I am still figuring out what this site’s version of bot accounts look and act like and over 80% of the messages I have received here become a deactivated account within days.

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence
I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

The privacy issue with KOSA "resonating with a large swath of people"-- that's you, that was you calling your reps. Don't let anyone tell you it's pointless
Let's do it again for the censorship bills in this new package

"How many of these do we need to carve...?"
"Mmm... maybe a few dozen to be safe. The more turnips, the better the ward against spirits."
"Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to for some All Hallow's decorations."

We need folks to hammer paypros, as the holiday season is a prime opportunity to clog up their call centers and have our impact be felt the hardest.
Need contacts, talking points, etc? use the site linked! It has a ton of info that is still relevant and useful!

i hate how people and even literature sometimes reduces the concept of an unreliable narrator to 'the book lying to you', not 'you are viewing the world through the eyes of someone who does not see an absolute truth'
