Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

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.

hey, you probably need to hear this:

you absolutely do NOT need to subject yourself to fulfilling daily october prompts/challenges.

is not this life prompting enough daily challenges already?

if you're barely keeping your head above water, don't volunteer to hold a cinderblock.

Oh, you too? i sketched something earlier this year and am just now getting off my butt to color it because of Time Stranger. lmao

Also you have great taste, and even greater artwork! i always loved Dragon Mode more than Fighter Mode. 💙

Just a small PSA/reminder that these feeds do exist and have been helpful for me to actually see some people’s posts. As much as I enjoy seeing reposts, they often swamp the following feed that I miss a lot of direct follows and mutuals stuff. These both help make sure I’m not missing anything.

Oh yeah, of course. if you just look up guides and things, it'll make it a lot easier to grasp than if you were going in without a clue. (i say this and yet i will admit i am guilty of not doing that. feel free to shake me. 😂)

Bird anatomy is hard. and this is coming from the guy who became known in his circles for drawing birds for the past six years. i don't believe i can do realistic birds and i commend the few who do. lmao

But i would follow that blog if one ever existed.

Hot(?) Take:

If someone partakes in something that is deemed popular... Don't shit on them for it? I had a ton of people get viscerally angry at me for getting a Labubu even though to me it reminds me of my favorite childhood book (Where the Wild Things Are) and it's comforting.
