Artists and illustrators should be careful when looking for an agent.
Years ago, an illustrator friend of mine here in Germany realized her agent wasn't getting her any work, but she still had to pay them a commission from each project she completed (for clients who didn't come thru the agency).
I want us collectively, as a society of vibrant humans with agency and self worth to reject AI and put all of these sociopaths the fuck out of business.
Please share this as much as you can and also read it if you have time. Please. I am on my hands and knees begging. Please help me.

my actual stance is let people explore "uncomfortable" themes in peace through fiction and safe consensual environments (except CP, OBVIOUSLY), ffs
we all know by now that people who won't let you pay your hard earned money for some exquisitely drawn boobs are all traffickers/r4pists/ped0s/n4zis
Many of us are blessed with the ability to read stuff that hasn't been presented to us by a salesperson
Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.
an argument that can be made: claiming reputation risk is stupid to begin with BUT, if we must play on that field, you literally can't argue that there's "reputational risk" to an individual bank if ALL banks are required to facilitate ALL legal transactions without exception.
It’s incredibly dystopian how pretty much every consumer tech company is going all in on the idea that we all should wear a body cam stuffed with a chatbot.

hey pets, this is your report that we've applied for the brasilian poverty aid, and will be receiving money. in 1 to 3 months.
until then, we need money to buy food and other groceries, instead of plain bread, so we'd appreciate any donations if you people are willing to give.💕💸

reminder when you're doing your taxes, the number patreon is putting on your 1099 is the gross and they DO NOT exclude all the money they took from you in fees. you need to deduct that yourself as business expenses. an easy ("easy") way to do that is to download your earnings by month

BuzzFeed is currently deleting Kyra Kupetsky's tweets about the situation.
Deleted follow-up message:
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
nice retrospective from my friend who made WigglyPaint - a good read for anyone who's wanting to have more intention behind their art software selection, and what it means to support folks who care about making their tools as open as possible, and how that gets abused
