Thank you all for your contributions & support over the last year. Getting to make these zines with yβall has been a great experience
Iβm really proud of what we accomplished & of how much Iβve seen people grow as creatives throughout the existence of this project
I hope yβall remember it fondly π
We accept any medium! #Transformers, another fandom, or original work. This zine is a celebration of creating without being self-critical, so pick a project and join us for our last #zine.
Submission deadline is February 28th.
We're going to do one more zine as a group, and anyone is welcome to join whether you're an official member or not. The theme is our namesake: "Fuck It, Good Enough" and the guidelines reflect that. As long as your piece doesn't break FIGE's prohibited content rules, you're good to go. It doesn't even have to be Transformers related, just let your imagination run wild and embrace the attitude of "fuck it, good enough". To ensure the widest range of creative freedom, there will be a SFW and an NSFW version of the zine like we did with our Baby Needs Smoko zine. Some ideas to get you started: β’ Use it as an excuse to finish something you've been procrastinating. β’ Experiment with a medium or topic you've been nervous to try. β’ Create something that reflects your experience with FIGE or what it means to you. Due Date: February 28th To submit, DM us or email your submission to thefigeproject@gmail.com
Come one, come all and join us to make our last collection of creative work!
Of course feel DM us for any questions you may have. #zine #zines #transformers
That high note will be a farewell zine that everyone is welcome to join even if youβre not officially a member of FIGE.
It will be titled βFuck It, Good Enoughβ and will very much embody that theme. All other details will be posted in the coming days, so keep an eye out of you want to participate!

Hey @pillowfort.social any news on whatβs going on today? Iβve gotten the first image before but a refresh fixed it. Never seen the second though and Itβs been like this all day long.
The whole site is down for me
Iβve joined Mastodon! Idk if Iβm going to stick with this instance or not, but Iβm committing to blorbo.social for now since I wanna try out an instance other than the main mastodon.social one. Drop your account name below so I can follow more people!

Since Bluesky is punishing people for saying mean things to the official White House account, Iβm once again reminding people that Pillowfort wouldnβt pull this shit.

The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late.
Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.
Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.
Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
The Catholic Church requires bishops to submit their resignation to the Pope when they turn 75 and the Pope chooses whether to accept it or not and as much as I hate having to hand anything to the Catholic Church, they are kinda on to something
So while I can *totally* understand why that wording is enough for someone to not want to join the site, when it comes down to the staffβs actual actions, itβs been there for years and theyβve not shown a propensity to be strict and overly judgemental in their enforcement of it.
FAR more concerned with using their limited moderation resources on tackling real cases of CSEM, harassment, and other things that break their TOS before wasting their time arguing over semantics & opinions on stylization of a character
There hasnβt been any incident where an adult character in a sexual situation who βappears to beβ underage has caused someone to be punished or banned. Iβve asked around & no one else has been able to find something either. It seems they give people the benefit of the doubt and are very obviously-
βAppears to be underageβ for fictional characters is still in the language, however after several years since the TOS change & looking at how they actually enforce it, they have not abused that language. It seems itβs more there out of caution to allow for their own discretion, but as far as I know-
Weβve got three more spots left for series 2 of the Digital Pets mini zine.
Want to create something for the zine? Send us a DM or join our Discord for details!
Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its RΓ©silience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.
This is amazing news, good job everyone!! It also shows that these things are never one and done. Gotta be ready for when they bring it back because they will.
And this right here, as everyone with functioning brain power warned, is why online age verification DOES NOT work. There is no way to implement it without putting anyone who uses it at risk.
Again: just amp up Parental Controls and start holding parents responsible for their kids' online access.
Seeing some people criticizing being concerned about this as follow policing, but this is Rose's work account. Her professional account, used for work. The official conduct of Bluesky leadership.
Following a 90-follower account that basically any community modlist would hide for you. Optics!
The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.
I never said you werenβt allowed to be uncomfortable.
That is my one massive gripe with Pillowfort. I canβt even argue with you there π Iβve been begging them to update the image uploader for forever and it still hasnβt come around.
Iβve only seen two posts related to whatβs on my blacklist in the past year and itβs only because people didnβt tag properly, so it wasnβt the siteβs fault.
