I'm sure a lot of you have already heard that payment processors like MasterCard and Visa have forced Steam's hand into removing NSFW games from their platform. They did this before with Gumroad and NSFW artists and I know a lot of artists were hurt by that, people like  Mastergodai and  Kadath were left without an online space to sell their works. Now it's starting to look like game developers are under fire, but there is hope.

Bills are being drafted to tell these processors that they can't do this, reminding them that their job is only to transfer payment information to verify that purchases went through.

I strongly urge you to contact your members of congress regardless of their party affiliation, this isn't a left vs right issue, this is about stopping corporations from gaining more power over us. But the movement hasn't stopped there, people are voicing their disdain and have started petitions.

If you're sick of this as I am then sign this petition, then share it with your friend groups so they can sign it! The more people that get on board the more likely this is to make news, and the harder it will be for them to ignore. So far it's close to 30,000 signatures, but with your help it can grow even further.

Take a stand and let them know that we will not stand for them trying to control the content we consume.

Yesterday was my birthday, where I bid goodbye to my twenties.

Would have posted yesterday had the outage not happened...

One quarter of the way to 2100! A long way's off, but let's just enjoy the here and now while we can.

 risuchan004 got scammed on one of their adopts, the person who was originally claiming it did the "unauthorized transaction" trick and Risu really needs the money. More details in the journal link below.

I wish I had better news to share but this needs to get out there,  SphealtheDeal got scammed. The scammer claims to have been hacked and the hacker made a chargeback, as a result of that Spheal's PayPal account is in the red and really needs help. Link to her journal below for more details on the situation, feel free to help however you can by either spreading the word or offering her support!

Today is the 29th and I'm turning 29, which means next year I'll be entering my 30s. But for now I'll just enjoy what I got left of my 20s.

I hope everyone is having happy holidays ^^

Once again MFF has come and gone, not a whole lot to say this year but it was still pretty fun regardless ^^

For the third year in a row I'm going to Midwest FurFest! By roughly this time tomorrow I will be in arriving in Chicago, hope to see whoever else attends ^^

Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving! Eat, be merry and try to avoid the dreaded food coma ^^

You've probably already heard this from someone else but  Hayakain was able to recover his account from the hacker!

Unfortunately the hacker already managed to delete his server, so we have to rebuild...

I wish I was making a journal under more pleasant circumstances, but this is for the sake of spreading awareness. My pal  Hayakain has had his discord account hacked earlier today, so far this hacker has kicked people out of his discord server and spoke to a few people asking to review a game.

If he ever contacts you on discord don't do anything that he asks of you! The situation has not been resolved yet so the hacker still has control of his account.

Happy New Years everyone! Normally I don't do these sort of things but I figured I should at least set some goals for myself in 2023.

1) Get more motivated for writing. This is something that has eluded me, whether it be from a simple block or just general distractions getting in the way.

2) Do more collaborations with people. Something I haven't done much is collaborate on art pieces, hopefully I can do more of that this year!

3) Learn how to drive. This one is pretty overdue, I'm in my late 20's and I still haven't done it...

Don't really have a lot to say so I'll just keep it short and sweet, I hope everyone is having a happy holiday!

I have returned from MFF! Had a pretty fun time despite the pitfalls that happened, those being...

Having proof of vaccination but no proof of my booster, pretty much going through the pre-registration line only to get turned away.

Smashing my pinky finger on the bathroom door.

A horrific DoorDash experience.

Despite all of this it was still nice, I'll definitely look into attending next year ^^

The title pretty much says it all, if any of you are attending too hopefully I'll get to see you there!

To make a long story short  SphealtheDeal almost got scammed again. They lost quite a bit of money from this and I'm spreading the word so more people can potentially help out. If at all possible please consider making a purchase from them, they've made some magnificent adopts in the past and can blow it out of the park with their designs!

Birthday today! Unlike my previous outings I got to travel this year, this journal is coming to you from Missouri. That's all I gotta say, peace!

Honestly the more years that pass by the less optimistic I get. With how hard the previous two years hit I can only imagine what the new year will hold. With that all I gotta say is let's get this shitshow over with...

It's something that's been on my mind for a bit, I've been wanting to write some pieces. This does have a bit of a range to it, some would be as companion pieces/fanfiction to commissions that I got in the past, some would be world/lore building for my characters. What do you guys think, would this be something that you would be interested in seeing from me?

As of now the Miss Bikini contest has officially started, if you feel inclined head on over and share your support for Leslie!
