ACA = “Obamacare”. Same thing. Its proof that many white folks would rather shoot off their own foot if they knew something helped a black or latino person get by too. Its no different from how they used to fill public pools with cement during integration resulting in everyone being hot & miserable.
America is so racist that some Americans believed SNAP benefits were for white people and food stamps were for black people and they did not know they were the same thing and are now horrified to learn they are losing their food subsidies.

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:
"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."
No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

![Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION]
I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
Do the right thing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xawhcpoqu6pdxpp72fd43wuf/bafkreib65hm5kdos6y7hmzzg5pille43b6imitwgjf5exlupkcqyw6mgt4@jpeg)

moomin gets stereotyped as cozy pseudo-ghibli fantasy, but much like ghibli itself it's something born from hardship, what with it starting publication at the tail end of WW2 by a queer author who kept her bisexuality a secret to the public, and the earliest books being blatant post-war allegories

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.
Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

Tried to summarize the state of things with itch.io and explain a bit why this is such a big deal for creators of adult games here: arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...
Once a relative haven for adult games, itch.io begins removing explicit titles
Dozens of games deleted with no advance notice, thousands more hidden by “deindexing.”…

This here, this here is why itch deserves our rage. they knew the house was on fire, they knew it was coming, and said nothing till everyone was shouting "hey the house is on fire!".
People keep telling me that I shouldn't be mad at @itch.io, just the payment processors.
They are fundamentally misunderstanding why I was up until 4am reporting on this last night.
Itch is withholding trans authors' incomes. If you stiff my girls, then yeah, we have a fucking problem.

i am going to be honest i have no idea what itch is but after reading through this thread i can say this kind of censorship is a huge dang bummer. the idea that erotic art is somehow less valid is a false trot. making space for adult themes is incredibly important
Really hoping to see some bigger names like @chucktingle.bsky.social speaking up about the censorship on Itch, because they might be coming for indies now but once they've had some victories with smaller creators they WILL come for every. Single. Person. Writing queer & erotic art
