Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet. Creators

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

It would cost like $35 to set up a webcam showing a live shot of Portland, where absolutely none of this is happening, that our media, if it had any dignity whatsoever, would immediately split screen to every time he starts saying this.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

lrt THIS IS WHAT I KEEP SAYING TO PEOPLE, YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER EXISTED, YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE. you will make it better than a computer. you will probably make it better than a large part of other humans, too, but even if you don't, you Have to Make It! quoth the Man Ever:
Quote by kurt vonnegut: "Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heavens sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."

Weird choice of deletion. You were absolutely correct.
A French screenshot of a HausOfDecline skeet of yesterday. It reads:

"The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions."

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close.

They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say.

Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

As a person who did actually focus on learning, the ability to work, and achievement as my no. 1 priorities in life for the majority of my 20s I can safely say that was chumpshit and if you're a person of color and a woman it sets you up to be exploited, sick, and underpaid

Capitalism is deeply sick
Article title: Suzy Welch worries that Gen Z is ‘unemployable’—and some leaders are intervening to teach them basic life skills Welch, an NYU professor and business journalist, published a widely discussed op-ed in the Wall Street Journal asserting that the major values prized by hiring managers—achievement, learning, and a strong desire to work—are priorities for only about 2% of Gen Z students surveyed. Instead, most young adults place greater emphasis on self-care, authenticity, and helping others. This mismatch, Welch and supporters argue, leaves many Gen Zers perceived as ill-prepared or unwilling to adapt to conventional professional expectations, a sentiment backed by business leaders surveyed in 2024: One in six expressed reluctance to hire recent graduates, with three-quarters labeling hires as “unsatisfactory.” It’s tough criticism coming from Welch, who created New York University’s most popular business school course ever, meeting the values-obsessed Gen Z where they are with a class dedicated to “purpose.”
