It's the reason for the porn ban across the internet, it's the reason Net Neutrality is gone, and it has, as the sex worker community tried to tell us, harmed sex workers and doesn't help trafficking go away at all--particularly because of the vague wording and broad definitions, all it really does is ban porn, harrass the queer community, and censor all talk about sexuality into silence--and silence does not make safety. There is now a study about its effects, and sex workers weren't consulted or listened to about its flaws.
If you want the internet to stop censoring queer content, FOSTA-SESTA has to go.
If you want tumblr and other websites to have porn again, FOSTA-SESTA has to go.
If you want algospeak to stop being the norm, FOSTA-SESTA HAS TO GO.
There is NOTHING that tumblr staff can do without this law being gone.
There is NOTHING that any moderator, website, or app can do without Net Neutrality being reinstated and iron-clad again.
Did you all forget what caused the porn ban in the first place? It was not a random decision every company made overnight.
It was FOSTA-SESTA.
Freedom of speech is called Net Neutrality online, and until 2018, Net Neutrality was sacrosanct.
We must have Net Neutrality back if we are to have the freedom to speak online.
If you are queer, you must fight for Net Neutrality. If you have opinions about anything, you must fight for your right to say them. FOSTA-SESTA TOOK THAT FROM YOU. TOOK IT FROM US ALL.
If you want things to change, don't whine to staff on tumblr, don't boycott Tiktok.
you must get political. you must organise to remove FOSTA-SESTA from the books. You must clamour, and holler, and write your politicians and raise up the voices of sex workers and VOTE to protect your free speech.
Pornography and sex work are inextricable from freedom of speech. The right of pornography and sex work to exist is inextricable from the rights of queer folks. If you do not fight to protect your right to 'dirty books' and uphold 'rule 34' they will come after YOU next. They already are coming after queers just like they always do when a ban on porn is involved! It will escalate until it comes after EVERYONE.
I cannot emphasise enough that all this censorship increasing since 2018 is connected to the porn ban. It is the same oppressive and harmful legislation causing it.
It is harming sex workers, even killing them.
It is harming trafficking victims.
It is harming all of us, queer and straight, adults and children, it is harming everybody by taking away our freedom of speech.
Get rid of it.
Mariah Carey is almost fully unfrozen, so it’s time to think who we’re gonna enlist to help us decorate the place for Christmas!
This is how the Siegemas event works: once the registration period is over, we’ll provide the participants with a list of prompts to choose from, and a date to publish the fic. If you want to participate, you just need to send us an ask/dm/message informing us that you want to joing, and provide your preferred name/handle and ways to contact you.
The publishing dates will be around the week before Christmas, approximately (depends on how many people sign up), so the registration will stay open until the November 20th.
As a reminder, the stories have to be around 1000 words long minimum, and be somewhat related to the theme/include your chosen prompt. But otherwise you have absolute freedom to write whatever you want. Don't be shy, everyone’s welcome to join, and we’re happy to see both old friends and new participants coming in!
rainbow six siege really went like "a wall blocks your path? try ✨blowing it up✨"
They call him “The Handsome Monkey King” or at least that’s what they used to call this brazen, arrogant and ambitious simian.
I redid the King cause I didn’t like his other model, so this is the newer one! If your keeping up with the story, this post will make sense eventually, but for now, take my Sun Wukong design while I go write chapter 2 👍🥹

WIP Day!
I was tagged by the always lovely @simonxriley several weeks in a row, and I finally have a WIP again to share! Thanks 💜
Tagging @painfulstitches17 @tauruscookie @todragonsart @luxonmain @sadmoonling and anyone else, writer or artist, that has a wip they’d like to share!!!
I.. uhm, a little nervous about this wip tbh… but well, let’s rip the bandaid: it’s omegaverse. That’s it, I said it. Enjoy? 😂
“What now?” Glaz asked, only panting a little. “The sandstorm is getting worse, even if we reach the designated exfil point…”
“So what, you wanna give up?” Tachanka scoffed, breathing harshly. “It’s better we keep going.”
A small argument broke out about whether they should try to find a safe spot to wait for the storm to pass, or if to push forward until they reached an extraction area where the helo could land. Kapkan grunted annoyed and tuned them out. Typical of alphas, they would get into an argument at the worst times, both insisting they were right and trying to make the other bow down. Usually, it ended with Kapkan acting as the irritated peacemaker and deciding on which option he thought was better. Which oftentimes was an idea of his own and not one of theirs. However, today he wasn’t in the mood to handle their posturing. He was unreasonably tired, his skin itched like his own clothes were full of sand on the inside, and all he wanted was some peace and quiet.
He realised something was wrong when both his teammates suddenly shut up, and Kapkan grabbed his weapon tightly, readying for a fight. They must have seen something coming. Except, they were both looking at him, Glaz in shock and Tachanka with a frown. Then it hit him, the cloying sweet smell laced with something that resembled lavender.
It had been years since Kapkan smelled that, and at first he didn’t recognize it was him.
