Mastercard also had a statement in here that it would leave erotic fiction alone. Remind them of what they said in 2012
Article from 2012
It's funny the paypal rep told me PP had a no-nsfw policy since 1999 and also Visa said it would "take no action regarding lawful material that seeks to explore erotica in a fictional or educational manner."
I just want people to know about this ig

One of the sillier aspects of combating issues like this is that as the corpos start to realize they don’t actually have wide support, they start going silent. CS did the same after about the 3rd week
The lack of feedback can have a pseudo-chilling effect on activists, don’t let it

a reminder to all my romance folks, card processors have moved on from block payments to sex workers to blocking payments to NSFW artists. we are absolutely a part of this fight.
If we can get big dog publishing companies to go knocking at paypros' doors then that would be a huge boon for us. Flood the publishers as concerned customers, get them to see what's happening!
Harlequin Publishing's number:
416-445-5860
I left a voicemail with the first option and went down the list until someone picked up. Legal suggested I email her and she would forward it to finance. We should call publishers.

While you weren't looking, *seventeen* House Democrats just voted to strip basic rights from trans members of the military and helped the GOP pass their far-right version of the NDAA, similar to what we reported on.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
