This is awful - have emailed them.

Maybe artists and audience alike could learn from Angoulême and boycott. If enough people pull out - and if big names do as well and shout about it - it can have an impact.

Thanks for sharing, jolted me out out of ‘oh yeah I must get round to that’ into actually donating. It’s protecting one of the bastions of the old internet, the way it was meant to be ❤️
