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.

Fun fact: this artwork was done by Ken Penders. Yes, THAT Ken Penders.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Digimon: The Movie and y'all, when they talk about films that "couldn't be made today," THIS is it. A weird, funny and fascinating time capsule.

if your standard sense of humor is the sort where you routinely heckle and roast your friends I need you to understand you can't just automatically do that to strangers on the internet and expect them to be chill about it. it really just comes off like you are being mean to someone for no reason.

I'm probably going to up my commission prices because $30 for a full character drawing will not cut it anymore. Winter is going to be rough as heck, so I better lock in and do what I can.

Hey so, I’ve been struggling to find work lately, and I just had to sell my car at a huge loss a month after I got it because the previous owner didn’t properly care for it. So any help right now is appreciated.

I set up my Ko-Fi voice over commissions page! ko-fi.com/amtrax/commi...

I have options for per-line commissions (up to 15 lines) and hourly commissions. So if you want me to record a dumb meme for you, narration for your Youtube video, character shoutouts, etc, this is the place to do it!

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov

all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week

a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again

it hamstrings the cause

“Oh did I see you posting A.I?

Instant unfollow

Are you trying to argue with me about it?

Instant block”

There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
