There is a lot of woe in the world, but here is one thing I'm excited about:

nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger This zine layout tool is a dream I never knew I had. You can upload a pdf of your, e.g., 56-page 1/4-sized zine in page order (1-56), and in seconds get back a 14-page doc you can print from.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

The scam website that is trying to steal money from artists is back, new logo and... very hastily made website.
Be wary of them, block and report and warn other artists.

I said abolish and I fucking meant it

@astridoverthere.bsky.social

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Please keep contacting your representatives and demand they oppose repealing sec230, and oppose internet censorship/surveillance bills

Get friends and family involved, february is when they are going to make a major push

Ana Valens | 🔞 @acvalens.com · Dec 19

Posted by Sen Graham on Twitter, calling for a week in February “dedicated to advancing legislation that protects children from online threats and tackling the Section 230 crisis once and for all.” 10% of the senate sponsors the S230 repeal bill

Majority Leader
United States Senate

The Honorable Charles Schumer
Minority Leader

Dear Leader Thune and Minority Leader Schumer,
On February 8, 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted. Included within this legislation was the Communications Decency Act and the now-notorious Section 230. What was originally passed with the goal of helping the emerging Internet industry as our nation approached a new century has since been interpreted to shield big tech companies from accountability for an ever-expanding variety of online harms.
As we approach the 30-year anniversary of Section 230, we must pause and reflect on where this law has led us as a nation and how it has affected the American people. Because of Section 230, America's children are being sexually groomed and extorted online; predators are creating and distributing Al-generated deepfake pornography; drug traffickers are selling fentanyl-laced pills to teenagers; young people's anxieties, stresses, and body image issues are exploited; and terrorist organizations and foreign governments are targeting vulnerable individuals for recrutment and exploitation. And to make matters worse, Section 230 prevents these victims and their families from ever having their day in court.
Practically speaking, there is no regulatory agency overseeing social media that could provide meaningful relief to abused consumers. The combination of having the courthouse door locked and no real regulatory body to protect consumers is harmful to America and it must come to an end. The time for accountability is now.
Few issues have generated more bipartisan consensus in this body than confronting the Section 230 problem. Indeed, there are few issues as important for Congress to confront than the escalating threat of online harms to Americans, especially America's children. As a res…
