Hi it's your favorite internet librarian here to talk to you more about banned books - more specifically, banned graphic novels!

They are increasingly present on banned and challenged lists, due to the visual nature of the medium. From 2021-2023 a graphic memoir was the #1 banned book in the US. 🧵

If you, like me, have no desire to upgrade to Windows 11 but Microsoft is rattling their metaphorical "no more protections for YOU!" saber,

Enroll in extended security updates. Took me less than five minutes for both devices.

Do it before October 14!!!!!

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

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.
