Hallelujah!

Thank you, @moderation.bsky.app, for removing the erroneous label!

Huzzah!

#BlueskyCensorship #PhotographyCensorship #ArtCensorship #Vogue

Once more: no response from @moderation.bsky.app and the label remains.

I'm starting to wonder if the mod team has a foot fetish and that's why they think the photo is sexual in nature.

#BlueskyCensorship #PhotographyCensorship #ArtCensorship #Vogue

So, my latest collage posting passed uncensored on tumblr and Meta, but is censored here on BSKY for being "sexually suggestive". In other words, pornography. What a ridiculous, stupid, pathetic decision.

#nocensorship #dontcensorart #freedomofart #artcensorship #artisnotporn

Another day, @moderation.bsky.app another appeal.

I'm not okay with you telling everyone that two women whose genitalia are completely covered while they pose for a nude photo are engaging in sex. I'm really not.

#BlueskyCensorship #PhotographyCensorship #ArtCensorship #Vogue

Unsurprisingly, I have no response from @moderation.bsky.app. I checked my e-mail too.

Their label remains.

So I filed another appeal.

Again: the most risqué thing you can see is the one woman's buttocks.

How to protect fine, upstanding Americans from degenerate artists “Avoid defining your own actions as ‘censorship’ or ‘control’; instead, tell the people that we are protecting them…”

A trans girl in pink with platinum blonde hair dressed in pink latex and fishnets blows the kiss to another woman while holding their face. The other woman is dressed in a slutty police uniform and has dyed red hair with black highlights. She's battered, bloody, her make up is running from crying, and she's tied to a metal folding chair with jumper cables connected to it. She is visibly disgusted and angry and her make-up has been running from crying. The text in the top left reads: Thou shalt not, 1) the morality police defeated 2) dubious consent 3) dangerous kink 4) blood and gore 5) trans women having hobbies

A.L. Schafer, "Thou Shalt Not" 1940.

This post deliberately breaks Bsky's new TOS. Fuck the rules, break 'em. Pry my smut from my cold dead hands.

Here is the finished painting.

"Pearl Clutcher." 36x24inch oil on canvas.

I don't know if it'll be accepted or not, but I won't go down without a fight. 😇🔥 Fight art censorship! #art #painting #artcensorship

After finding out my painting was censored for an art show, I was given the option to provide an alternative. By all accounts, this WIP piece fixes all of the concerns brought up about my previous one, which included "Nudity" and "Gore." Fight censorship always. #art #artcensorship

Amy Sherald Cancels Smithsonian Exhibition over Censorship Concerns The National Portrait Gallery considered removing Sherald's painting of a Black transgender Statue of Liberty from an upcoming show.

Now @thesmithsonian.bsky.social is chickening out? How does this action fulfill its mission to reflect and represent America? Where has the courage in this country gone?
#uspolitics #artcensorship

Just found out some of my paintings got censored after being accepted into a show ✨️ truly the worst feeling, but the fight is ON 🔥🔥🔥 #artcensorship #art #screaming

I will make an official statement in a Dev log, but I will not specify what I stated here- just to avoid being flagged for mislabeling my game as a SFW. I do not appreciate my art being censored; Espically when worse content exists. #indiegame #gamecensorship #artcensorship #queercensorship

A pedestal of silence,
a flame no longer hidden.
Footsteps remain.

I made this piece for Crack Festival 2025 (the theme was „Carne“)

One thought behind this to talk about censorship on social media platforms and the reactionary backlash in general. But it’s open for interpretation and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts 😸

AI-generated photograph of a politically charged graffiti mural on in a weathered wall. The focal point is a large, black cartoon-style bomb with sharp teeth, bloodshot eyes, and angry yellow eyebrows—giving it a monstrous, threatening expression. A short fuse and a red paint splatter on its side suggest imminent violence. The word “Media” is painted boldly in black capital letters to the right of the bomb, with the "M" partially overlapping the bomb’s side. Beneath “Media,” the phrase “FUCK SCAF” is spray-painted in pink—referencing Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. Surrounding the mural are various handprints in red, Arabic graffiti, and other layered street art elements including a winged figure with a bow and arrow above, and faded stencils of human faces. A pasted protest flyer and a bricked-up window also appear. The overall aesthetic is raw, urgent, and defiant, conveying strong criticism of media and state violence—likely linked to the 2011 Egyptian revolution.

Today’s under-the-radar issue: Egyptian satirist Ashraf Omar was arrested in July ‘24 and remains jailed under terrorism charges for his cartoons. When humor becomes evidence, we’re in trouble.

Mexican Artist Decries “Censorship” of Queer Nun and Priest Portraits Fabián Cháirez’s exhibition in Mexico City was suspended on a judge’s orders after the Association of Christian Lawyers filed a legal complaint.

Today’s under-reported issue:

Mexican court halts Fabián Cháirez’s “La venida del Señor,” censoring queer nuns & priests in art. When religion outlaws expression, culture pays the price.

#artcensorship is unacceptable. PERIOD.

New Kennedy Center board elects Trump as chair. Rutter departs as president. President Trump’s refashioned board of trustees voted him chairman in a meeting Wednesday afternoon. President Deborah Rutter told staff she was departing the institution.

There is so much to be worried about, but as a D.C. area native, this particular move is a punch in the gut. There are so many reasons the government should not be censoring the arts. Do not take this lightly or trivially. This is not normal.

Made with non-explicit images for my Resurrect Sexy Campaign on Instagram, IG Moderation still deemed it too Sexy, pulling my account from Search, Discovery, etc. I balked, but eventually removed it to preserve my reach.

American Quilter's Society claims to be "World’s Largest Quilting Membership Organization". I'm not a member, but it seems like members might disagree with their decision to silence this artist's voice.
