Considering how bad tariffs are about to be, I won’t be able to get merch from 70% of my suppliers.
Now isn’t the time to keep “secret” where we get our merch from. We are /all/ going to be affected by this, badly. (Always thought that was silly anyways)
Is there any lists for US based Manus?

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Really got into playing around with a different digital painting style, and tried something new with light and details. Luther was so fun to paint, especially loved his mustache 🎨 👨🏻

Most of the ideas mentioned in this article—higher minimum wage, free tuition at public colleges, higher taxes on the rich—are not only popular now but were realities in the past, including in NYC, during the booming postwar years, when America was “great.”/1

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination.

My design for Raw Paw’s World Wide Web challenge. Looking back at some of my early internet art and remembered I loved creating little creatures and sharing them into the void (aka deviantart). Let’s bring back creating and not shame people for their silly art <3

Please boycott my country and tell US airlines that you won’t waste money on a ticket to nowhere. Make the airlines lobby the administration to end this fascist madness. They will scream loudly when their lucrative international revenue dries up.
Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".
