So you know how Steam updates their TOS to restrict "NSFW" content at the request of payment processors like Visa and Mastercard?
The group behind that pressure campaign is coming after Itch.io.
If you are selling books on itch, this concerns you.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

rainbow capitalism is - as we are seeing - completely insincere
but a world in which companies feel the need to do it is much better that one in which they don’t, it helps reinforce social norms against bigotry
very bad sign that we are moving to an era of corporate vice signaling

Happy Pride all!
Remember, there's been a 40% reduction in Pride activities this year.
Corporate pride is proving once again that they have no stake in pride or queer people's futures when the chips are down. Performative bs.
Look to those still supporting pride this year. They're the real ones.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.
A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

I genuinely had to check whether this was a deepfake but nope Elon just 100% went full Nazi salute, with some nice strong nationalist symbolism in the background, and if your media ain't reporting on THAT, probably ask yourself why not, too?
