something that folks need to break the habit of, especially if they're interacting with people *they don't know* or do not speak english as a first language, is playful rudeness. 'delete this' or 'i hate you' does not translate well if you're a stranger. otherwise silly comments are fine.

that last bit is speculation on my part but its extremely suspicious that artist's cuts are starting to resemble short term interest free loans.

this started last year and since then their policy has apparently been revised to say the wait period before you can contact CS on a transaction is now 30 days instead of the old 10. which kind of suggests to me it has nothing to do with paypal and its actually a cashflow problem.

payments to artists trying to get their money have been frequently delayed, some as long as 9 months. i have seen the claim that its paypal causing the issue, but paypal doesn't.... do that. they shut accounts down permanently for 'issues', not hold individual transactions hostage.

lol i have legitimately been sitting at a light and had kids walk in front of my car crossing the street, only to realize one of them is covered in tattoos - so clearly not an actual child! But clocking in at 37 everyone around me is, indeed, a baby.

it is deeply weird to me that, upon being informed their children didn't want to speak to them anymore, a bunch of people decided to call up their local politicians and demand it be illegal to be mean to them, rather than any self-reflection, affirming the children were correct

On the artist hunt again! This time I need sequential artists who are Black and of any gender for a biographical graphic novel project. Anyone who can do quieter moments, the real world, and real people, possibly for B&W rather than color. Send portfolios and recommendations my way!

you know, instead of making moral judgements about content (outside of obviously harmful and illegal things), you could stop writing essays about what an artist you're not paying should or shouldn't do, just seek out the kinds of media you want, and ignore what you don't

If you're neurodivergent a lot of writing advice runs counter to how you function. You know your brain better than anyone else, you've been living in there your whole life. If you need noise to focus and panic at the thought of rigid structure, put on music and don't worry about an outline.

screenshot in OP is taking about mass media productions, which take months or years to make. if you want examples of random but fairly influential people making things in 2020, those exist. I'm fond of the FoldingIdeas video about Pandemic, really captures how awful I felt.

The internet has sort of broken people's brains when it comes to expectations of responsiveness. Art is a *response* and traditionally the faster that response is the more ham-fisted, clumsy, and useless the response is. Remember when, shortly after 9-11, Star Trek blew up Florida?
