A rabbit like woman clasps her hands in front of her, long hair blowing in the wind with stars mingling among it as she smiles

A woman with cat ears and glasses sits with her back to the moon and stars behind her, leaning her head on a hand as she smiles softly

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

@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.

passing tip: learn to respond to misgendering with the weirded-out "did that person just call me a [wrong gender], what the fuck?" look. Not the "how dare you misgender me" look, or the "oh no i've been caught" look, but the "this is bizarre, why would they even think that" look.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking.

Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

An image of a drawing tablet with a partially finished piece of G'raha Tia from FFXIV and a warrior of light, there's references of G'raha open on the tablet, but also more on the computer screen behind the tablet.
