Hi everyone, Just making a post to let you know that my dark r18 horror visual novel, Sweetest Monster Refrain, was banned from Itchio yesterday, alongside a whole ost of other games the site has now considered indecent. At the moment, the only place you can buy the game is Fakku, so do consider checking it out there if you're curious. Please note the site is r18 and might have adverts or some images which are unsuitable for all ages. I sent Itchio an email challenging the takedown, but I doubt it will receive a reply. Adult games are being culled across various storefronts and I fear it will only continue to get worse as more creative freedoms are eroded. Please consider signing this petition if you want to help r18 content creators out.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

you know, maybe the internet shouldn’t be controlled by payment processors and terf lobbyists. and maybe people should be more concerned about this rise of censorship on queer media.

Nyctosaurus, a same-sex couple, lingering on top of a floating corpse. Very romantic.

Happy Disability Pride Month to all who celebrate!

It doesn't get nearly as much attention as LGBTQ Pride month, but it deserves to. Living with a disability can be difficult, but you can still live that way and love who you are as you overcome those difficulties!

Love yourself, and know that you are loved!

Finally finished my art fight card for this year!

I love to draw ponies the most but also want to practice more dinosaurus this year, since paleontology is a huge interest of mine and it felt fitting.

so true... characters are from my yuri vampire visual novel cage of roses!

Israel cuts Gaza's final internet line, plunging it into total communication blackout.

Israel bombed the last main fibre route in Gaza, which means that as of June 12, all internet and fixed-line communication services are now completely cut off, further isolating Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.

I am seeing more and more calls from inside of Gaza for help with eSims as that is currently the only way they can connect internally and with the outside world.

- Buy eSIMs here.

- If you can't afford it, you can donate any amount to this eSIM fund.

- Instructions on how to buy and share eSIMs.

Rowling has this new application form that you can fill out if you're a person going to court over one of the following reasons

(Plain text: We fund legal representation for women and organisations who:

Have lost their livelihoods or are facing tribunals because of their expressed beliefs

Are being forced to comply with unreasonable inclusion policies regarding single sex spaces and services, or female-only clubs and events

Are challenging legislation which takes away the freedoms or protections women are entitled to

Don't have adequate means to bring actions to court or to defend themselves)

And I just think it would be a little bit funny if the answers became unusable because of too many fake cases.
