🔞 Getting situated. Trying to art again. 30s. 🧉🏳️‍🌈 Any Pronouns
Pinned
I'm about to basically have 3 part time jobs (I did it to myself honestly; regular day job, selling my art, and teaching various art forms) so we'll see what kind of time I'll have to draw smut. Still tickles the back of my brain to remind me I still need and want to ugh

What's the point in being here if you're just gonna put the same restrictions on us as everywhere else?

You gave us content modoration, we used it, and we thanked you for it.

Censoring certain subjects as a rule is not the way forward. Enhancing the labeling system and enforcing it is the way.

But I, a sentient individual with a brain and a pen in my hand, consented to drawing the freakyweaky pictures on my screen, doesn’t that mean anything? 🥺 should I ask my little pictures if they’re ok too?

I immediately got banned from tumblr back in the day for posting Courbet's L'origine du monde in response to the porn ban. Labeling art as degenerate is anti-intellectual and anti-human - fuck you for capitulating in advance, Capital dick suckers.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship.

we CAN do this.

there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!'

You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

It sure would be a shame if that survey was available to anyone who wants to share their thoughts on the matter…

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

Additionally, mention how this decision and this course of action is reflecting negatively on their company and brand identity and how you've heard friends and family that they are considering moving or closing accounts.
and remember, DO NOT STOP CALLING.

Chipping away at this one again, I feel a little better with Zelda now. Probably do a little more work some time and scan it in to do a little more 🤔

Ok I'm gonna do it, a little doodling. Maybe posting about it will help keep me on it. Be back later 👍

Good morning! Visa is starting to hang up or refusing escalation when asked about censorship. If you get hung up on, call back to complain about it until you get an employee who will record your complaints.
Make sure to leave that person a positive review!
