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

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.

Hello! today is 🎂🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂

For my birthday, plz read what is up of my webcomic/signal-boost this skeet? It would mean a lot to me!

Only 50 pages so far. It hasn't updated in ages, but I'm still working on it. Updates will resume when the backlog reaches 50 pages.

And "permissive" here doesn't just mean "these are guys who wanted to do bad things and were allowed to" (which is true)

it means that each step of the way, as they sought affirmation to do what they were doing and become were, they were given permission

tacitly or explicitly. over years.
Men are not inherently violent; some men have learned they can get away with anything because of permissive power structures, and they proceed to do so.

The issue is with permissive power structures.

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

Y’all remember recently when someone on here “called me out” for “using AI,” because in my *entirely non-AI drawing* the lettering was “too good to be human” and also the hands in the drawing were “too bad to be human”? Guess I can’t win.
The amount of people I see harassing real artists and even wildlife photographers with accusations of AI is genuinely disheartening, and sadly this is just the beginning

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.

Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

The debate over whether this is 'fascism' is a silly semantic one in which a small minority mean 'completed fascist authoritarianism' and the vast majority mean 'the people in power say and do things that demonstrate completed fascist authoritarianism is what they want to achieve.'

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little.

Also I’m going to be totally honest here: “Is Jeffrey Epstein better or worse than someone who stuck their dick in literal, prepubescent children?” is not a conversation I find worth entertaining.

… same as being an abused child. Is it “less bad”? That’s a meaningless question here, the point is it is *different* and the victims in this scenario often need a very different response than children who have been sexually abused do.

My biggest fear is, legitimately, that this could end with me just losing my bank accounts. Plausible reality. Wish journalists and leftist content creators actually locked in on this issue
I have seen this happen Irl and God is it painfull, alot of people don't realize just how bad targeted debanking is especially psychologically.

The idea to that you are on a list you can't contest is soul crushing.

This is beyond bullshit this is cruel.

theres a whole bunch of cultures that don't do rings to mark marriage but do do necklaces for the purpose, so do only Christians get to keep wedding jewelry or
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.
