I see artists trade their patreon and ko-fi links all the time and it seems sometimes like it's only other artists and a handful of regular followers that pass those round. It really does help. Previous clients saying on comm ads they had a good experience also helps a lot too.

The feed is so busy, they might've missed yours, but if they're liking similar stories that means it's something they want in their inbox

There's too much to focus on here in Chicago to be on my "Amazon is even worse than you think" soapbox this week, but here's a sample of the ways that they are profiting off of genocide and occupation, both here and abroad. Kill the cop on your doorstep (your Ring camera).

Curtis gave up believing in fairytales after their house burned down. Turning their faith in that everything can be explained in the real world…well, except for Curtis’ strange stalker surrounded by white smoke. [ #DVPit #MG #F #LGBT #threadbare ]
