If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

The moment RidiculousCake posted that Tumblr post where he stalked that child on Halloween should've been where his career was ended. Or the time he cried about how the Confederate statues got destroyed. Yet people just sweep all this under the rug because he makes art that people fap to.

keep contacting your representatives about these bad bills like KOSA and the Stop CSAM act of 2025!
www.badinternetbills.com#stop-csam

In addition to calling your reps, this website has both a lot of information explaining why these bills are bad/ why section 230 must be protected, as well as petitions to sign for each individual issue!

Signing petitions helps! Make your calls, sign petitions!

If you are not on a business account you can get to a similar page by going to create an invoice, and using the 'back to invoices' button at the top of the page.

(I don't have the option on either of my accounts though so I am not sure if it will show up there eventually or not.)

Cannot be stressed enough that Black trans women were immediately sidelined in the early 2020s. Just pushed out of the convo immediately, even though transmisogynoir has always been an emergency and Black trans women are disproportionately targeted
Read this piece I contributed to in 2017. This piece, talking with the friends and families of murdered Black trans women, still haunts me to this day.

Pieces like this are just not printed anymore.

Rest in power
So far in 2017, 21 trans people have been reported as murdered. These are their life stories.

As you all know, I've faced significant stress this month from having various online accounts dinged in some shape or form. I discussed this on stream earlier this week, but would like to break down the full timeline in post form

I also mentioned this but I incorrectly focussed on the person resharing the commercial.

We must advocate for the full release of the Epstein files, but we cannot let bad actors weasel bills like KOSA into their argument.

It will NOT protect children.
#SaveSpeech

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"

they are not your allies.

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.

This is what i mean by the post below. People are (JUSTIFIABLY) angry and afraid, and there are bad actors who want to take advantage of that in order to push regressive, reactionary legislation that will only hurt marginalized groups.

be very careful about what you boost.
In the wake of all this Epstein stuff, you need to be extremely dilligent about information and media you share

There are orgs that want to use the energy around all of this to push for censorship/surveillance legislstion as well as promote swerf ideology under the guise of supporting victims

FYI, if you make less than 67K USD a year or are disabled, you can get your taxes done for free by VITA volunteers. The IRS works with them to ensure they know what they're doing. You can find your nearest one here:

Made my calls. Paypros cannot get away with debanking adult creators without some degree of pain and cost to them. Please be part of the wave that tells paypros not to mess with our livelihoods.
#SaveSpeech

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin

Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

Hey freelance artist! Consider going to your local tax accountant. Some of them will charge a reasonable amount for filing and will keep your stuff locked up for easy preparation next year.
I've had huge success and significantly fewer headaches having my local person file it for me.

the best way to get out of an extrinsic game that you find yourself still playing despite disliking is to just force yourself to miss an event in-game. if you're the completionist type it's an extremely fast way to sever yourself from it
