i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

I saw somebody on TikTok using the word 'slopper' as a slur for people who use ChatGPT, and that's a thing we should start doing.

The NSFW games ban currently hitting game platforms comes from the same kind of people that lobbied for UK bathroom bills and used to pilot police crackdowns at gay bars.
It's yet another proxy to force LGBT people and sex workers out. Let's not go down quietly.

Anyway, time to call and email Visa and Mastercard. I suggest you all do the same.
Additionally, sign this petition from the ACLU.

I found that calling this Visa number didn't work, as the people here can only handle complaints regarding cards and accounts from what I can tell (unless I'm doing something wrong?) I did however find what appears to be the number for Visa's headquarters. Do with that what you will

Here’s a short script:
“Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

Maybe we could find out.
Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372
Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111
Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911
Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440
PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000
Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

This idea we keep hearing from AI tech bros that making art is a miserable process they’re going to “free” us from is just more misanthropic fascistic nonsense.
People need to understand that there can be joy in making music, even when you still haven't mastered all the skills. The process of learning stuff is actually worthwhile.
