You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

If KOSA passes it will fundamentally change how we are able to interact and use the Internet. KOSA must not pass.

If you ever wanted to know why AI companies are trying to sell you so badly on the idea of funding their tech, there's actually an answer for that. They're not Tech Companies. They're Multi-Level Marketing firms. The computer equivalent of Neutralife.

Let’s talk about bossware and if you haven’t heard that term yet, here’s what it is. Bossware is workplace surveillance software. Software that tracks your keystrokes, monitors what websites you visit, takes random screenshots of your screen throughout the day,

Big news, and not good news, but luckily for us we have time. It needs to get to the committee of rules FIRST before heading to the main house chamber. This means our fight is not over. We will need to fight HARDER #savespeech #notodigitalid

This is very specific but it might help other cartoonists. I came up with a pressure curve for Clip Studio on the iPad which makes it easier to go backwards and forwards (especially inking) from your desktop Cintiq setup. No blowouts on iPad strokes at what would be normal pressure on the Cintiq.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life. I'm serious, read it all please

You should hammer all these reps who voted yes on the KIDS Act. Additionally, keep contacting your other reps as well

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the Kids Act, a mix of KOSA, Screen Act, and several other ID/facescan verification bills. There is still time before a final vote in the House, as well as a Senate version. Please use this link to call your Senators and Representatives to vote no.

reminder when you're doing your taxes, the number patreon is putting on your 1099 is the gross and they DO NOT exclude all the money they took from you in fees. you need to deduct that yourself as business expenses. an easy ("easy") way to do that is to download your earnings by month

Hidden at the end of this bill is its real purpose: defining trans existence as sexualized and a threat to children. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country. The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing. truthout.org/articles/ice...

For as much success DotL has seen, I'm EXTREMELY lucky it just covers its own expenses. Most of what I earn goes to cover the costs of paying Yoko, paying the flatter, paying the hosting fees, paying the store costs, paying the warehouse fees, paying the software subscription fees, paying the printe

Good morning my monsterfuckers! Has your character ever tried to get ahead in their chosen career or profession? How? Luka has very little ambition for the title or Marchioness of the Pass, despite taking up the mantle in her aunts absence. She wishes for her aunt to love a long, healthy life 1/2

Good morning my monsterfuckers! If your character were to be prosecuted in a court of law, what are the accusations and are they guilty? Luka: rebellion, insubordination, incitement, invasion, practicing magic without license, summoning a demon. Guilty on all counts 1/3

Good morning my monsterfuckers! Does your character have regular chores they must do? Jas takes to handling things around the cottage Luka hides him in, such as chopping firewood, cooking, cleaning, and fixing things, like replacing roofing shingles or fixing doorjambs 1/3

Until Az met Holly and Eileen, he didn't have a high opinion at all. Before, he only dealt with humans involved in summoning demons, who tended to have pretty bad personalities. Seeing Holly's gentle and empathetic nature and Eileen's determined teenage sass made him decide he wanted to know more.
