Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort. Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Some bluesky tips I've learned so far for new artists that are joining! Go to "Settings > moderation > advanced" to enable how you can view moderated content on your feed, and "Languages > Content Languages > Select Languages" to make sure all options are unchecked to see posts in every language!

there is a point at which you kinda suck and no one cares. it is unfortunate but you cannot skip this part. i personally sucked and no one cared for ages

I wish there was a way to tell young beginner cartoonists looking for promotional advice that they need to stop putting all their energy into marketing & work on their comic instead without sounding like a total bitch. my love, there is nothing to market

People are sometimes awful but that's not a reason not to do something. I think about this a lot. If you stop making art because you get hate. Then you think the people who hate your work are more important than the people who love it and need it.
