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
Part Time Yeen@parttimeyeen.bsky.social · 6mo agoAny 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

Watch out artists, insta is now auto adding wrong labels to your art. Doesn't seem to be a way to get them to remove it. Just for the record, my work is 100% human idiot made, always has been, always will be. #art
carlydraws@carlydraws.bsky.social · 3w agoChrist, this sucks. I went to check on mine and they've added the same to my artwork. Never used ai, never will.

Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 4w agoDon’t look away from Memphis. Don’t look away from Houston. Don’t look away at the nationwide ICE surge. The trump administration is counting on you losing interest and falling for its tweak in tactics. zeteo.com/p/trumps-vio...

Dear writers: Please make me look stuff up! I love learning new words 😄
Kate Heartfield@kateheartfield.com · last mo.I've been getting direct correspondence from readers telling me I should not use unfamiliar-to-them words since my first novel came out in 2018. They usually act like they're doing me a favour by letting me know I've screwed up (by forcing a reader to the dictionary) so I can do better next time.
please anyone in/near Stratford look out for Emily, she's tiny and a fucking idiot goblin and I'm desperate to find her please please please bring her home safe 😩

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/
I think it's time for the yearly "how to deal with extreme heat" thread. Please reskeet and comment with advice.
Innocent🕷Abroad@jjgass.bsky.social · 2mo agoTo translate this into American, London is projected to go over 100 degrees next week. That had never happened anywhere in this country in recorded history until 2003. Three years ago, we hit 40 C (104 F) for the first time ever; now, we might do it again. And we're so not ready for it.

As I see more friends fall victim to this discord hack, I remind people that if someone asks you to download their new game out of the blue, right now, because it will only take a couple minutes, after "catching up" for a minute It's a hack, and they will take over once you download that file.
Eggs. I’ve been put off by more than one restaurant brunch menu because everything had eggs included except the French toast (and technically that does too)

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2mo agoFascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.
Thread. Something I have learned from working with the phishing protection folks is to always always always go to the source: Hang up and call your bank directly. Don't click the link in an email or text - go to your bank's website. Don't scan the QR code.
Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 2mo agoSo I said, "I'm going to have to hang up and call the Fraud Prevention service directly. What is your extension?" And the person immediately hung up. I am still on the phone with my bank's actual Fraud Prevention service, but fucking hell.
