Welcome! I'm Al.

HEY GUYS!

I'm still in search for a new job and to say May was a difficult month would be an understatement... So I'm still offering my commissions with a DISCOUNT! I could really use some help while I'm trying to get my life sorted out ;w;

⚔️PRE-ORDERS OPEN!

After almost half a year of work, the Strider Zine is finally up for pre-order! From now until July 5th, get your hands on it for $20 USD!

Get it here ==>https://striderzine.carrd.co/

And yes, we now ship worldwide! There are two separate releases, one from the USA and one from Russia. The USA will ship to any country it is legal to ship to, which is most of them. If you are located in Russia or other postsoviet countries, you'll want to head to https://t.me/BefoZines instead, where you'll also be able to access tie-in merch exclusive to the Russian release!

PRE-ORDERS CLOSE: JULY 5TH

Pre-orders are open! Theres so many amazing artists in there yall, check out the website and the tumblr @striderszine for more info ♡

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

this is true and all. but also never stop talking about your ship because if it’s what makes you happy then you can and should talk about it for yourself and your own enjoyment too.

there’s nothing wrong with the tweet in the screenshot, but I feel like we’ve forgotten that shipping and fandom are first and foremost for ourselves and our own enjoyment, not if the ship is popular or if there’re enough people shipping it.
