Happy Halloween from Draculily! Cricket lollipop, anyone?
Dracilily, a humanoid vampire spider with six arms, holds a green lollipop out towards the viewer in one hand. There is a cricket encased in it. Draculily is looking at the viewer, smiling with an open mouth, and gesturing towards the green lollipop with 4 of her hands. The 5th hand holds a cricket lollipop in blue. Draculily is wearing a purple dress with 6 long sleeves. On top of the dress sits a yellow mantle with a red brooch, a high collar, and red interior fabric. The mantle covers the tops of her arms and has a bat wing shape on each side sticking out. She has two black legs and is wearing red boots. The toe of each boot has a pair of spiked shapes, they point up like fangs. Draculily's face and hands are pale blue. She has big yellow eyes with small black pupils. Her nose is two slits. She has two visible fangs and a purple tongue. Her ears are pointed and her hands are thin and bony. She has short dark hair with two points at the top. One segment of hair swoops down over her brooch. Overall she looks to be having a great time.

After an intensive two-year adult immersion program, the number of fluent Spokane Salish language speakers nearly doubled. Some of those program graduates will be hired on as full-time language teaching staff as the tribe expands its language revitalization efforts.

reminder that it's way safer (and funnier) to be as vague as possible about significant events bc ppl already know exactly what you're implying with your words.

I’m so glad to see so many folks calling, but while I am seeing a lot of pressure on Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal, don’t forget Stripe.

The Itch team labeled them as enemy number one in this fight. Call Stripe. Wear them out!

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!
WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

shes too damn small i cant stand this (not a child) (just really short) (and hal is really big) (as my friend said just now "shes like a rottweiler standing next to a chihuahua") (i know i designed them this way but Why) #QUdoesart #BeaconingALostCause #ToxicYuriVNJam
Character lineup of Hal and Marlow standing next to each other. Marlow is so short she doesn't even reach Hal's shoulders. Hal has a very broad and beefy frame which just makes Marlow look even smaller.
