Just a heads upfor nsfw artists using paypal Its probably a good idea to only take payment through Invoices anyway, basic details are fine BUT /NOTHING/ involving nsfw , furry , or fetish topics should ever go anywhere. "Single character commission" is a-okay. they dont needa know shit else ever.

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.

i don't fw what is being called 'ai' for many reasons and I've seen people talk about how it discourages skill building

another element to hilight: u miss out on the sharing of your processes. you can't share your decision making, problem solving. there's nothing to share when the tool did it for u

can't say I can complain when I have a job that pays well and has great benefits, but trying to be a creative while working in a non-creative job full-time certainly makes me dreary.

there's this david lynch interview where he says that van gogh wasn't a great painter because he suffered like everyone thinks - it was because painting brought him all the happiness he could have and i think about it so often

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people.

If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives.

Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

the realrealreal thing i need is for everyone to not have to work jobs they hate to survive, have food and shelter. i feel guilt when i think about all my practicing and half-executed pieces, music, comics that i do in between shifts at my fulltime job. my attention is diffuse & energy reserves low

i want so badly to share more art and interact with you all so much more than i do but i'm struggling. my energy levels to create are so shot. i still do, but the pace is frustratingly slow. ideas are there, but i end up with so much unfinished work. i feel like i need pro help, medication, somethin
