Cis people: you need to understand that your politician's stance on trans rights is the easiest way to tell whether they will defend YOUR rights.
If your politician won't defend trans rights, they don't actually have any principles. When your rights are under threat, they won't defend them either.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

I know I don't have much reach here, but I need to try.
I'm urgently looking for a job as an Environment Artist, Prop Artist, or 3D Generalist.
I'm open to roles in the UK or the Netherlands. My visa in the UK is about to expire, so I may need to move back to the Netherlands soon.

Affinity Photo is the software I have used to create just about every single piece of art I've made since 2018. It would suck real fucking bad for them to integrate AI and force me to find something new to use. Hoping and praying they actually listen to their consumers and keep the software AI-free.
