FA is one of the few places online that - loads (underline this twice) - has a gallery format - has a new submissions page - does not allow AI - has real breathing humans I can contact - honestly I just find furry art joyful and inclusive

We are losing ground everywhere. Adult content is being banned and censored in place after place. We MUST protect one of the few places that still stands it's ground. It is our moral obligation if you value artistic freedom. Individual support might be small but we are many!

just to clarify, this is them standing firm, refusing to budge to third-party advertisers requesting FA "remove [their idea of] adult content", and pushing back against AI and crypto. Also contains a great breakdown of their expenses. This site is why I'm here now. Please support if you're able.

BREAKING NEWS KOSA failed to pass in the US Senate (thanks to Paul, R.), but remember this was the FOURTH attempt from American politicians to get it passed. Expect another attempt in the next term; stay vigilant, and do not let the USA adopt ID-collecting laws such as the SCREEN Act & KOSA.

Just discovered that Utah has a tax on escort agencies. In other words, the state demands its cut of the profits for sex work. If only there was a word for that.

59-27-103. Tax imposed on a sexually explicit business -- Tax imposed on an escort service.
(1) A tax is imposed on a sexually explicit business equal to 10% of amounts paid to or charged by the sexually explicit business for the following transactions:
(a) an admission fee;
(b) a user fee;
(c) a retail sale of tangible personal property made within the state;
(d) a sale of:
i) food and food ingredients as defined in Section 59-12-102; or il) prepared food as defined in Section 59-12-102;
(e) a sale of a beverage; and
(f) any service.
(2) (a) Except as provided in Subsection (2)(b), a tax is imposed on an escort service equal to 10% of amounts paid or charged by the escort service for any transaction that involves providing an escort to another individual.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (2)(a), the tax imposed by Subsection (2)(a) does not apply to a transaction that is subject to the tax imposed in Subsection (1).
(3) The tax imposed by this section:
(a) may not be imposed on any sales and use tax collected or paid under Chapter 12, Sales and Use Tax Act; and

Banks, the biggest arbiter of what can be distributed online, are steadily restricting the types of speech — art, entertainment, resources — permitted. A payment provider dropped FlowFo for allowing sex-related content, pushing them out of business. Financial discrimination is censorship.

What had been a small, volunteer, bootstrapped start-up was pushed into the red by payment processors demanding exorbitant fees to process sex-related content.

The commissions tom sales kept us mancially balanced for severd yedis.
But since 2025, our revenue has no longer been enough to cover our fixed costs: servers, accounting, payment systems, email services, etc. (And I'm not talking about salaries. The team has been volunteering since the public launch!)
An additional cost has arisen this autumn (2026): our long-standing payment provider dropped us because of our adult content.
To keep going, card networks are demanding prohibitive commission rates.
Consequently, Flowfo is operating at a loss

E.g., are subscriptions a "public list of other users with whom the user shares a social connection"? Well, I'm not socially connected to a magazine if I subscribe to them, am I? The law itself is unclear because, it seems, the people writing it were more interested in Helen Lovejoy-ing.
