I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

As someone on the spectrum, I can tell you, people don't want unapologetically weird, they want socially acceptable quirky.

Nooo i just accidentally wiped the SD card that had my 3ds custom firmware & roms on it.

IDK who needs to hear this today, but you do not need intimate knowledge of ANYTHING, not even fundamentals, to draw. You dont need to be an expert to just doodle and do your thing. No matter where you are on your journey - YOU ARE AN ARTIST.

My partner released a new album on Bandcamp today, entitled Ver'Iytsl. All of their work serves to illustrate different parts of the Neauismetica, a world that they created :>. The music is harsh, dancy, and damn fun to listen to! Support them if you can! aliceffekt.bandcamp.com/album/veriytsl

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Don’t use it. Ever.

Radiohead is coming back! Maybe 2025 is salvageable after all!

AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

I am going to say this again: Surviving is enough and it does not require beaming every single little hateful thing the American Nazi Party is doing directly into your brain. Shits fucked, you know it’s fucked, you don’t have to look, you just have to keep going.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

This is heartbreaking and is particularly sinister because paypal is partnered with Patreon as a processor for which creators can be paid out, INCLUDING us 18+ creators. I know that paypal is the only game in town in some regions but I really don't understand how patreon sees this as an ok setup

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

ACAB includes not believing any fucking word or narrative the sadistic band of wifebeaters called the LAPD states in justifying their cruelty at a Queer Black man going through a crisis then making a mocking spectacle of him as an example the unstable threats wandering your streets all wear badges

I was a huge wuss and couldn't tolerate a lot of horror movies so even the 'silly' ones scared me. Killer Klowns from Outer Space gave me a permanent fear of clowns and the pink slime from Ghostbusters 2 made me irrationally afraid of things coming out of the drain.

Sorry if I sound like a broken record, I just want people to realize it IS okay to get the current 2024-2025 COVID vaccine as a booster this year, ESPECIALLY if you know you will not be eligible to get the updated 2025-2026 vaccine due to this administration’s restrictions.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I'm so tired of the people who create the things I love having to live in abject poverty

Why is it always the lowest paying jobs that have the least amount of compassion for their employees?

Welp looks like Im going to be unemployed AGAIN. Management's "understanding" of my current health issues is not enough to keep me from being written up for >10 mins of tardiness. Whats the point of getting doctors notes if Im going to be penalized anyway?

Genuinely happy that the 7 year long development time was spent working at a leisurely pace, spending time with their families and flexing their creative muscles - with no pressure to expand their company, deliver sooner or read a single reddit post. Smartest people in our entire industry.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

Idk how people can manage the pain from their body falling apart, work to barely survive, show up for their loved ones & keep themselves properly cared for. I cant handle all of those things even in ideal situations.

I think people think that art taking a long time to learn means like a month or maybe a year and not an ever expanding process that progresses with you the entirety of your time drawing. You don't "finish" getting good at art because that's not the freaking point.

As expected, my moment of joy was swiftly followed by crushing news.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

Charlotte knows what's up.

If only someone had said "they won't stop with porn"!

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you. your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

Never thought I’d hear & accept a genuine ‘I love you’ from anyone again after dealing with 2 rough split-ups in the last few years. I’m very glad that I was wrong 💚

The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

There will be a thousand folks songs about the American that Does It Could be you I dunno beleive in yourself

Artists if you're using paypal for coms PLEASE use invoices instead of having clients send money with notes Using invoices allows you to ensure no lewd notes are left, you can toggle tips, and opt out of shipping for digital Please please please stop using basic send/request option 😭

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

Gonna take this one step further and say if you draw adult content and don't support sex workers you should stop drawing adult content. If you are working with/accommodating someone's sexual fantasies with intent to arouse, you ARE a sex worker. Period. End of discussion.

Constantly reminded that I’m probably just a few bad reactions away from having a permanent physical disability. No, i’m not doing well.

“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.

what then!!

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

It's so nice to finally have something good happen to me for once! I almost don't want to talk about it in fear of jinxing it...
