it’s always good to remember that just because you have a great personal or professional relationship with someone doesn’t mean others have not had bad experiences with that person or that they not been unreasonable or unprofessional

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

Disappointing this article does not highlight the fact the ABS recommended counting gender identity for all people, but Albanese intervened contrary to their advice to only ask this question of people 16 and over. Thanks to him, trans kids won't be counted. #auspol 1/ www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

We’ve never known the size of the trans community. That’s about to change

Following a Labor backdown and years of advocate lobbying, new questions on gender and sexuality will be included in the August 11 census.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

I've seen hajime sorayama's art around before but this prompted me to do a deeper dive and i guess i feel a bit foolish that i expected there to be one artwork that wasn't a robot or cyborg of some sort but he really just hyperfixated on the one thing

It's nice to see the timeline of how long it took Tolkien to write the LOTR trilogy. 18 years and it's not even comics

I learned today that the new hardcover edition of Cry Wolf Girl by @arielries.bsky.social that I helped put together was nominated for a Ringo in Best Design and I wanted to talk a little bit about what changed between editions.

the thing they didn't really tell me when getting discharged from the hospital is that after sepsis all you're really going to be able to do for 3-8(+?) weeks after is lie completely still on the couch all day. anything else feels like running a marathon

ALP conference somehow even more sauceless than everyone thought it would be this year. Not you, internet smart guy. You already knew it would be bad. I mean even among attendees who had properly calibrated their expectations to 'zero'.
