how radical would it be if someone paid you for something that you already did

questions by elliott @elliottcost.bsky.social · Jun 30

thank you 🙏 me too

I also think we really need to dispel the myth that independent web designers / artists working on the web:

1) are part of the tech world / must have a tech job salary behind the scenes
2) can easily get grant funding from some cultural institution

Special Fish is a side project of Elliott Cost. You can find more of Elliott's site's at elliott.computer.

Special Fish is not investor-backed. I truly don't believe in investor-backed websites. They don't have the users' best interests at heart, and eventually they will be sold and shut down.

Instead, Special Fish is made possible by the support of its users. Every user costs the site money. If you have the means, please consider supporting the site yearly. A yearly subscription of $40 is suggested. Supporting users pay for users who don't have the means to support the site.
