Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

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

@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.

A single-page comic of my OCs, Brooke and Olive, having passionate sex with each other.

Panel 1: A nude Brooke smiles and lays back on a bed, spreading herself as a a visibly excited Olive mounts her.
Brooke: "Have me, please?"
Olive: "Ok!"

Panel 2: A close-up frontal view of Olive on top of Brooke, pounding away as her balls tighten and pump into her. Brooke is watching her partner's cock slide in and out with awe.
Olive: OHHh FuuUUUucK
Sound effects: plap plap pump pump plap (lol)

Panel 3: A close up of Brooke's face, as she throws her head back in ecstasy.
Brooke: Oh- OH- Olive!

Panel 4: Olive slams her hips into Brooke, her face tightening as she cums deep inside. Brooke arches her back and grips the sheets as she orgasms in tandem.
Olive: AaaHNn!!
Brooke: ooOOHH~!
Sound effect: SQUiiRRTt! lmao

Panel 5: An interior view of Olive's dick, spurting a huge, thick load into Brooke's pussy
Sound effect: Splurt! jfc writing alt text for this shit is crazy
