There's a mastodon artist I follow who hand paints queer erotica in guache- she's been loosing her mind trying to find any way to monetize her work for a while now
I think the payment processors were happy to have an excuse to deny handling these transactions. She's been having trouble since long before this current situation, and making it impossible for her to financially provide for herself sure as fuck isn't good for anyone except puritanical queerphobic shitheads :(
