Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

i stg every kink can be subtextually boiled down to:
-i am powerful/in control
-i am seen as desirable
-i am safe and can now be vulnerable
-i can explore taboo in a safe + controlled environment
once you realize that you realize that no kink can hurt you

As ever, Bluesky built this site off our backs and like everyone that came before them, they're gearing up to try and shake us off with this vague pile of bullshit.

Use the time to make a plan for you and your loved ones and don’t let anyone around you forget what is to come. The midterms should be consequences for ALL of Congress.
Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

It has a very real chance of failing—and *even if it passes with changes* it still has to go BACK to the Senate to get voted on AGAIN. And it barely made it through the first time

If you just look at social media instead of news sources, you might believe the “big beautiful bill” has passed already.
It hasn’t. It still needs to go through the House, where it has a strong chance of failing — so yes, feel as sad and angry and scared as you need, but PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS.

we have to keep up the pressure on these bills. I'm calling again today and will be continuing to call until these bills are dead.
a lot of these reps get spooked by even a few dozen calls or letters on an issue. sustained pressure can make many of them bend the knee. keep calling and writing.

![My name is [your name] and I'm one of [representative's name]'s constituents. I'm calling to urge them to vote NO on three internet
censorship bills:
• the Kids Online Safety Act - KOSA
• the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act - IODA
• and the SCREEN Act
All three bills claim to protect teens by placing a duty of care on online platforms to prevent exposure to harmful things. But Republicans keep expanding the definition of "harmful." These bills are gifts to fascists.
[bail out here at 0:30 if you want]
KOSA's sponsor said it would "protect minors from the transgender in this culture." The Heritage Foundation said it would use KOSA to block abortion information. Both other bills allow the FTC to enforce them. FTC Chair Ferguson signed up "to fight wokeness" and "the trans agenda.'
The people in power now can't be trusted with laws like these.
[bail out here at 0:50 if you want]
Don't give weapons to fascists. If passed, these bills will harm LGBTQ teens, adults, and anyone who needs information on reproductive health or abortion. Vote NO on KOSA, IODA, and SCREEN.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreih6stly2ivi4kfwwqyxl4ls57lotcb5fuz5mxzhmv3g5jcwhrrf7m@jpeg)
