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.

okay well… 19/700 thanks to one incredibly generous person.

alternatively if 60 people gave me 1000 i would be out of debt and also cry roughly 59 times

Can we get the word around for more donations to go to BlackSky so there’s funding for the infrastructure that can bring Link back?

From my understanding:

Relays are costly and expensive. Anyone feel free to chime in. Bluesky relays is what has him banned.

why can’t i just make a product that means a lot to a huge audience, but if bad actors show up it’s *not* my problem? bc that’s so much easier for me

I wish more Olds who lived in/through it would make more analogue horror stuff

I love it as a concept but it's so obvious most people making it have never touched a VHS or a CRT tv in their lives and the nuance gets lost, since they're only using concepts they've seen other 15 year olds use
