Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe.

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.

⚠️ this has happened to an alarming amount of people I know. remember that when you open a random .blend file there's the risk that it'll execute unwanted code.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend
Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again.
If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.
If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.
Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.
Spread this pls.

This is why as soon as I earn money that goes into my Paypal whether it's from Kofis or commissions, I transfer it to my bank ASAP.
Whenever I need some money to pay via Paypal? I just transfer the needed amount from my bank to my Paypal balance & pay. Paypal is NOT a bank, don't treat it like one

don’t store your money in PayPal. put it in your traditional bank or something fdic insured. there’s no methods to reclaim your money if PayPal decides to close your account unlike any other bank

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.
Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.
