Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

If you have a cvs near you, go!! Or book an appointment online. All you have to do is answer "yes" to the question "are you eligible for a covid vaccine". We do not care if you're lying (: cvs is pushing shots! They want you to get them! It gives big cvs more money! It gives you immunity!! Go go go!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Rephrasing for clarity, but please do not use F&F (even blank ones) for commission payments; this is and ALWAYS HAS BEEN against ToS.

If you're getting paid for a service, use invoices.

F&F has no protections in place, especially for buyers, and using it to bypass fees is, again, against site ToS.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

All I can do is continue to do what I can when I can and hope the speed eventually comes to help me bypass the busted brain limitations

I know that speed comes with practice and I'm also functioning at a slower capacity due to my chronic illness affecting my brain and such but lmao if I don't gain at least some speed soon I'm never going to be able to finish anything relevant within the acceptable time frame 😅

Me still working on the piece I started the day Haru Urara passed meanwhile other artists on their 15th full illustration this week really feels like this sometimes:

athletes are getting ready to run on a track with tauron signs

Alt: 8 athletes are lined up to run a hurdles race. 7 of them take off at great speed while wearing professional running style outfits. the 8th is dressed in sweat pants and doing the best they can at a painfully slow pace, but nevertheless continues on.
