For the love of god DO NOT talk to pypl about me or anyone else you commission. Yes even sfw stuff because what's sfw to us might be too spicy for those asshats.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Our new free gallery is ready for a mini beta test! Take a look, and let me know what you think. Feedback, bugs, etc. all welcomed.
I know image galleries aren't very exciting, but you'll notice it makes it much easier to browse and download our free library!

I think if you have chronic pain in any form, it’s important to not get mad at yourself for being tired. It is genuinely not your fault. You’re always hurting, and it’s constantly stressing your brain out and sapping your energy. You’re doing the best you can, and that is enough. ❤️

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.
