KO-FI IS CRACKING DOWN ON NSFW CREATORS

Please spread this post around.

Here we are once again, with NSFW creators being censored into oblivion.

Apparently, Ko-Fi has deemed it illegal/prohibited to POST or even LINK to NSFW content on your Ko-Fi profile page, meaning my account has been “unpublished”. This means my page is disabled to everyone except myself unless I make changes to comply with their policies.

I’ve
removed all of my gallery links (DA, Tumblr, Patreon) and just sent a
message to their support team asking to have my account re-instated,
I’ll give updates when I receive them.

In the
meantime, if you’re an NSFW creator and have ANY NSFW content posted or
linked on your Ko-Fi page, well, it looks like you better start deleting
it. Check out their policy page below:

https://ko-fi.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007937553-Illegal-Adult-and-NSFW-Content

Good info, though I would add the minor correction that Ko-Fi doesn’t consider NSFW content “illegal,” it’s instead complying with the demands of its payment providers (PayPal and Stripe) and those providers’ terms of service. If you have NSFW content on your page, there is an option (as listed in the link above) to flag your work as NSFW so that it isn’t flagged as Limited or removed, but it seems you still cannot post any sexually explicit/pornographic work (or links to it) to Ko-Fi.

Wait a sec. Patreon uses Paypal too, and they don’t seem to have any issue with NSFW content, somehow?

They’re shooting themselves in the foot, as far as I can see. With these rules, they lose any chance they might have had to compete with Patreon.

Patreon absolutely takes issue with adult content creators. They went on a massive purge recently, even after they supposedly stood up to paypal when paypal told them they couldn’t host any adult content. (Looks like paypal won in the end.)

They tend to only go after visual art content creators, but I had a polite warning about my books too.

Gotta love these guys. You can practically hear the little voice going “I’m just a seed pod, I’m just a seed pod!”

Two-rayed Banjo Cat, Amaralia hypsiura

Banjo cats, when not up for sale, should be housed with sand and/or leaf litter that they can burrow into. They’re timid lil guys, and the more places they have to hide, the more you see them. You still won’t see them very often, but it’s great when you do. There are multiple species of banjo catfish available in the hobby, albeit sporadically, and all are great little fish. They’re about the only non-corydoras catfish, aside from honeycomb/oil cats, that can be trusted not to eat your other fish.

so, as much as I love the more modern plague doctor aesthetic, like guys I’m all about it

I feel like I have the be the bearer of bad (or good depending on how you take it) news

Instead of cool, dark crow/raven aesthetic

Realistically, you would have probably gotten more of this fucking leatherface kiwi bird from hell which would have absolutely been even more terrifying to see on your death bed

you’re welcome

you never have to apologize for this

rich folk get the fancy raven doctor
the poor folk get the mosquito man who might actually be a demon in hiding

I know you advise against owning exotic pets, as most should, but what are your opinions on rescue situations? For example, if someone came across a bat with a broken wing or an injured fox that’s been separated from its mother (etc.), and they took the animal home to care for it? I haven’t done it personally but I’ve heard of others who have nursed the animal back to health and sometimes kept them as pets, even if they aren’t exactly qualified/experienced in owning these kinds of animals.

zoologicallyobsessed:

That sounds like a horrible idea. There are rescue organisations for a reason that will take in exotic wildlife for a reason! If you find injured wildlife google them! and call them! 

They are experts! And you are not! If you can’t take care of a healthy wild animal, you’re sure as hell aren’t going to be able to take care of wildlife that is injured and it’s super terrifying to me that anyone would consider attempting to “nurse it back to health.”
