Sad news, friend: Arizona, the state I live in, has voted in age verification laws. (Boo hiss, I know.) They allegedly go into affect sometime this week.

I do not believe the government will have the resources to enforce this idiotic law across every website - at least, not at first. The plan is to keep posting until I phyiscally can't anymore.

Right now, the biggest risk is losing Bluesky, because they announced they plan to block access to people whose IP addresses originate from states with verification laws. They say they do not have the resources to enforce the law & avoid being fined per user. If you currently follow me on Bluesky, I highly recommend following me on Fetlife as an alternative just in case I lose access to Bluesky.

Though we could use VPNs to get around it, I am still begging you to start caring, before it's too late. The real risk isn't losing one singular artist, but in entire archives. The way these laws are worded puts the liability on site owners/operators, not on users. This means that homegrown sites with small, crowdfunded teams and archive sites owned by singular people are on the chopping block if they can't afford the software needed to not only collect your data, but securely encrypt & protect it from data breaches. We could easily lose sites like the M/m Spanking Archive and FurAffinity, should this start to be enforced.

Regardless of my fate, this gallery will hopefully still be here in the coming years. If I lose access, though, there will be no more new work. This may be sudden, and it will not be something I have control over. I am debating whether to use a VPN, as I am starting to second-guess whether it is actually helpful in the long term to continue on like nothing is wrong. Perhaps the silence, as painful as it will be, will serve to motivate others to fight for positive change.

In the meantime, PLEASE don't wait until a total blackout to give a shit. The rampant, fascist censorship sweeping not just the United States, but also Canada, the UK, and Australia seeks to harm us by tearing apart our communities and putting us back in the dark, when it wasn't possible to find, validate, and comfort one another. Many people still consider gay, queer, and transgender people to be obscene - mark my words, this will not stop at pornography. (Also, has anyone noticed it seems to be worst in regions that were violently colonized by white people?? What the fuck.)

WHAT YOU CAN DO

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! Every day, their aides build a spreadsheet tallying the number of people calling in about each issue - which they then use to vote. Politicians don't think for themselves, their careers rely on echoing the will of their people. IF YOU DO NOT CALL WITH YOUR OPINION, YOU LEAVE YOURSELF & YOUR COUNTRY AT THE MERCY OF THEIR OPINIONS.

This site makes it SUPER easy -- I've been calling every day I can stomach for months. Nothing bad has happened to me, and no one has come to arrest me. I promise, it is safe - anyone telling you otherwise benefits from you being too afraid to complain. Remember, as long as you are not obscene, inciting violence/harm, or threatening them (saying you won't vote for them again doesn't count....!) you are protected by the first amendment.

https://5calls.org - use KOSA as a script - sneak in a demand to also block age verification attempts in your region. (Don't forget to resist SCREEN & IODA as well.)

FOLLOW ME ELSEWHERE (Just In Case)

Though I don't anticipate an immediate blackout on my end, I highly recommend having as many backups as possible, especially if you primarily follow me on Bluesky.

PATREON & SUBSTAR - Thank you for all your support over the years. I will follow up on both sites with my emergency plans for these sites soon. As with here, service will continue as usual until I am physically blocked from doing so. (There should be a new piece dropping soon!)

COMMISSIONERS - If you want full resolution versions of your work, now is the time to make sure you have it downloaded. Please reach out if you need a download link to work you've commissioned.

A FINAL NOTE - Before I began posting to FurAffinity, I made this artwork purely for myself. An internet blackout won't stop me from continuing to make it, it will just slow down distribution. Should a blackout happen, I will look into publishing a zine with new work that you can pick up at spanking events. Unfortunately, due to the current regime in America, I lost my license to fly, and may not be able to get it back, as laws in my state prevent surgically unaltered transgender people from getting a birth certificate with their real name. I hope to fix this one day, but for now, I am restricted to parties I can drive to - namely, Hot Seat Retreat (both Palm Springs, and Vegas).

These are dark times, but even if I do go "off the air", I will not stop fighting for our rights - nor should you.

Please, join the fight, before we lose everything we've worked so hard as a community to build.
