The situation looks grim: the Governor and House leadership are both on board with draconian age-gating methods -- but there is hope: the state senate seems much more skeptical of these proposals, and we have a real chance of getting age verification provisions dropped before the final passage.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.
Screenshot of Kickstarter's new rules against mature content, in which everything pornographic is banned. It's a long document that's formatted in a way that I can't copy and paste all the text that's in it, but the first is that all point and anything sexual is now banned.This part of the document outlines how even self censoring your own work will not work, because even the implication of sex is too much. Even in prose works.This document is confusing because it says that erotic comics ARE allowed... you just can't show sex acts or genitals or try to arouse people. Also you can make sex toys, just so long as they're not for sexual gratification. This is how Kickstarter's email began: 

"Hello,
Kickstarter has always been a home for bold, boundary-pushing creative work, including mature content projects like romance novels, nude art books, and provocative comics. Creators working in this space are a valued part of our community, and that hasn’t changed." And yet it definitely has changed.

Opportunity Proposed Federal Credit Union

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our proposed credit union and our progress toward receiving a charter.

Why open a credit union, not a bank?

Credit unions are non-profit organizations owned by the members who use their services. Unlike banks, the only goal of a credit union is to promote the financial well-being of its members (as opposed to banks, which primarily aim to create profits for shareholders).

How do you start a credit union?

Starting a credit union requires a charter — a license to operate — from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The application process is fairly involved and requires applicants to:
