I'm not saying this to be mean and I REALLY feel the anxiety, but I really wish artists wouldn't always immediately start to panic about new laws and do drastic things because it always creates a kind of snowball effect

Alright I THINK I found the loophole all of us shop owners in the EU are looking for with the PPWR*. It just requires us to buy shipping supplies in the same company we sell from. *I’m not a legal professional but this is from the officially published EU guidelines (Explained below)

A screenshot of the guidance with a part highlighted reading: “However, to minimise any unnecessary administrative burden for small businesses that fill transport packaging, primary production packaging or service packaging, whether as a single-use packaging or as reusable packaging, at the point of sale, the producer should be the manufacturer, distributor or importer of such packaging that makes the packaging available for the first time from within the territory of the Member State, since that economic operator is best placed to comply with the extended producer responsibility obligations.’”

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

Little bit of a different post today but yeah, it's finally time to do this!! You might already know that I'm trans, non-binary to be specific and to feel more like myself again, I'm collecting donations for my top surgery 🏳️‍⚧️ Details and donation link ⤵️ gofund.me/f98f7ab7d Please share! 🙏

White text and illustration on a bright blue background. The text says "Trans joy in progress..." and "Hello, my name is CAT!". The illustration shows a happy frog with wide arms and top surgery scars. In the middle there's a photograph of me, a white chubby person with short dark hair smiling. I'm wearing a beige shirt and jacket and the evening sunshine gives my face a warm glow. The picture is framed by the blue background.

I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
