some misinformation is being spread about this bundle which is really shitty. for clarification, all of these characters are sapphic. there are polyam relationships. sometimes men exist in them. sometimes a man furthers the sapphic plot. the women are still sapphic; you’re just a biphobe.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

The charity is pressuring payment companies such as Mastercard and VISA into adopting radical policies that align with certain political views, actively harming marginalised groups, especially LGBTQ people, in the process. The charity also promotes these views and unlawfully discriminates against the marginalised communities mentioned above. I became aware of the issue as I ***[am involved/frequently interact]*** with the communities affected by their recent actions. Information about the issue has been reported on by various news sources and online blogs. The charity's actions currently also affect Australian users of international platforms such as Steam and Itch.io, impacting their ability to use these platforms due to the charity's actions.

In fact it’s important to note that this isn’t targeting specific games for being ‘sex games’. Any products labeled nsfw at all, and that’s just one of the shadow banned tags, get removed automatically and immediately from the search. You need to care about this, you need to oppose this.

For years and years I and others like me have been begging people to see that credit card companies pushing for censorship are the riders on a pale horse of facism. They will not stop at sex games. They will come for queer tags next. Poc tags next. It won’t stop.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. This is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Watch the AI Slop episode here:

Screenshots from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Mikey Shulman, Co-founder and CEO of SUNO at a podcast with some dude: It’s not really enjoyable to make music now. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of practice. You need to get really good at an instrument. Or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don't enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music. John Oliver on the set of Last Week Tonight: Okay. First, and this is a hot take, I think a lot of people might actually enjoy making music. It’s probably why they were doing it for the 40 000 years of human history prior to AI. But if that’s not you, and you would rather make music by simply pressing a button, then good news, you don’t need AI. There are already a wide variety of toys made for babies just like you.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Purely about magic, of course. No reference to reality whatsoever.
isabeltranslates.bsky.social isabeltranslates @isabeltranslates.bsky.social · Jun 30
Just going to leave this here.
Meme: Tumblr-user mug-of-beans: “The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.” No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb. Tumblr-user aqueerkettleoffish: Look, if the new magic didn’t have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic. Tumblr-user wizard-council-bureaucrat: Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has. Tumblr-user wizard-archivist-official: The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it’s compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection. The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes. Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear. Tumblr-user charlesoberonn: You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king’s sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb. You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

🌈📚
Over a pink, watercolor like background which gets darker towards the bottom, is a gouache painting of a woman, in black and white. She had long, curly hair, and a white flower over her ear. She has her back to us and is looking to the left. Her eyes are half closed, looking down. She is wearing dark lipstick, a necklace, and a dress with thin black straps. Her Adam’s apple is slightly visible. On the right, in big white font, is written the title : LIKE SALT AND WHI SKY. In the top left corner is written in dark purple : A second chance queer romance by Merlina Garance When Miles arrives in Edinburgh for his first holiday in years, the last thing he expects is to run into his long lost childhood friend Aileena. Ten years ago, he fled the UK to settle in France, running from his homophobic father and his family’s toxic wealth, cutting off all ties with his previous life in the process. Including Aileena. Hiding his wounds behind a layer of make-up and sass, Miles gets caught between the nostalgia of their teenage years and Aileena’s beauty, and falls in love with her all over again. Between the hurdles of a long-distance relationship and Aileena’s struggles with her transition, they have much to overcome. This time, if Miles doesn’t want to break both their hearts, he might have to open up and show his true self. Easier said than done.

for your information, indonesian government is starting to ban queer books from stores. we know that this is only the start. we know that they won't stop there.

that's why i'm making a book database. if you are an indonesian author writing/publishing queer or otherwise "taboo" books, contact me.

I'm something of a hoarder of media (both digital and physical) and strongly recommend that folks save the stuff they like. Save the stuff that will be in danger of disappearing from shelves & from streaming.

Because I’m a book blogger I am also going to say it. Expect pretty much everything to follow this election. Publishers are definitely going to start producing less diverse material and more right wing material. TV shows are going to get increasingly more conservative.
