I'm sad to see a lot of artists I know saying it's super hard to get sales. And it really is. So I wanna promote them here again.

Go check them out and buy or tip them if you can. This is the non-US shops list but I'll post other lists as well.

I made a pack for non-US artists shops!
Let me know if you want to be added (with a shop link) or removed!

Thinking about that luxurious thawing mud smell coming soon to a wetland near you. Starnosed mole (Condylura cristata) and early saxifrage (Micranthes virginiensis)

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

The New York Times is a conservative propaganda rag but one aimed at its influential and educated liberal readers, who must continually be actively convinced by the NYT it's something else, otherwise the propaganda won't sell.

Darrel Plant @darrelplant.bsky.social · Aug 26

There doesn’t appear to be a single story about the military occupation of Washington DC on the digital front page of The New York Times, but they do have several top quadrant stories about Trump trying to fire Lisa Cook.

There isn’t a single argument you can make that will ever convince me to use or be in favour of genAI.

Hold the line. Don’t give prompters masquerading as artists an inch.

Skyla Dawn Cameron @skyladawn.ca · Aug 19

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI"

GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰
