Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.

That’s suspicious. That’s weird.

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

You CAN be in your 30's and spend hours every day drawing your OC's for 20 people on the internet, don't let your dreams stay dreams
