Deleted the "don't use the word commission" on paypal post! Early this year I'd heard reports of people getting shut down for using that word and it was insinuated that the context was artists were being targeted for "high risk" words.
I appreciate this context and not trying to spread misinfo ❤️

Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD.
Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.

Lots of "don't write 'commission' in PayPal's feedback box for invoices" misinfo/fearmongering going around.
Yes, PayPal is censoring nsfw/queer artists like other payment processors. No, the word 'commission' will not get you flagged unless youre taking Friends & Family payments for commissions.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. So remember those who are not here but who should be. Remember to take care of yourself and ask for help if you need it. Remember those who fought and still fight to make a world trans people can thrive in, not just survive in.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

Pissed that it's easier for me to do relaxed doodles traditionally in my 2,50€ notebook than digitally with my monitor tablet. I wish I could draw shitty doodles digitally without my brain screaming at me >:(

It's wild to me that some ppl expect every panel of a webcomic to look like a polished painting. It's not realistic to expect someone to spend so much time on a single panel that readers will look at for like.. 2 seconds

Those ppl have never read a single webcomic
When you say you need good art to make comics and that's why you need generative ai, it signals to me the narrowness of your understanding of comics and why it is that you think you can't make them

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

hey i don’t usually make posts like these but i see a certain comic artist has made their way here, you might know him from his “daily life of a gay couple” comics, but he made this horribly transphobic comic and threw a temper tantrum when people called him out for it a while back, so look out
