For smaller artists, increased costs and outsized merchandise expectations are putting convention-selling out of reach.

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

really incredibly funny how Mixam's new "inappropriate content levels" feature is essentially just... three totally perfunctory levels and then a fourth that slaps a thick-ass upcharge on ALL pornography. Okay

a screenshot of the Mixam website showing how much it'd cost for me to reorder 100 copies of my lesbian smut comic WET FLOOR. there's a new toggle beneath the "quantity" input box with the choices "My artwork is appropriate for all ages" and "my artworkcontains some content that may not be inappropriate for all ages." clicking the second brings up a dropdown menu with four "inappropriate content" levels. this is level one selected, "mildly sensitive to some audiences", which might include references to alcohol or gambling, satire or "suggestive themes or light innuendo". basically T for Teen stuff. the base price, without expedited shipping, is $175, or $1.75 a unit

same screenshot as pic 1, but now the dropdown menu is set to Level 2, "Mature content but not overly graphic", which might include alcohol, gambling or substance abuse, "adult themed jokes", moderate gore, horror or violence, or *partial artistic nudity*. partial and artistic. so, like, a sketch of the Venus de Milo, i guess? regardless, the standard price point is still $175 for 100 copies.

Level 3 is "explicit, violent or offensive", material that could "cause strong discomfort in a public or professional setting". this includes graphic substance abuse, "heavy profanity or swearing", or realistic violence, blood, gore, horror or serious injuries. it also includes... full or partial provocative or artistic nudity, as well as implied but non graphic sexual acts. a sketch of Donatello's David? whoa, buddy, that's Level 3. this is stuff i'd definitely label as "For Mature Readers" on a comic, sure, but the price point remains at $175 for 100 copies

heeeere we go. Level 4 is "extremely graphic, violent or offensive", for books that might contain graphic violence, torture, mutilation, dismemberment, wound detail or excessive gore.... OR any explicitly graphic pornography or sexual act. this category also includes "illustrated bestiality or fetish content", which could broadly be interpreted to include ANY erotic furry content, as well as just "full/partial nudity or invasive nudity", which i suppose is any nudity deemed not artistic enough. (also on the list: "pervasive profanity or swearing". so like HELLA cussing.) the cost for the books is now $251.50, a 31% increase, and the slower base option for shipping is gone. Okay?????

Furry Jesus entered the dealers den and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the 3D printers and the benches of those selling pokemon plush. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My den will be called a den of dealers, but you are making it a den of resellers."

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

Only a few hours after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Minneapolis resident and mother Renee Good on January 7, federal immigration enforcement agents descended onto Roosevelt High School property during school dismissal as students were exiting the building. MFE members say that ICE agents tackled and detained a school staff member and union member who was working at the time. The MFE member was since released, according to a union spokesperson. The agents also deployed a chemical irritant against students and staff on school grounds, MFE says. A school official, speaking to MPR News on condition of anonymity, said many students sheltered in a nearby library.

I know it’s not everything, but it’s something: how each of us, in our little spheres of work & community, can help foster & sustain places of care, decency, & intelligence even when powerful people celebrate venal, coarse, mendacious practices. What a gift, to be able to do something so worthwhile

i'm not a "silly little artist/writer" "just trying to make my silly little art" and i don't think you are either. my art isn't frivolous bullshit. it has a place in the world and the world affects it. i'm not just glancing sheepishly at a distant burning house— i live inside it. don't you?

it rubs me the wrong way when i see some artists repackaging historically free/low cost art events as thousand dollar experiences. community building shouldn't come with a prohibitively expensive price tag!

More on this btw. Potential way to kick it from your servers. The ID is 1153984868804468756 Remember, never believe an AI bot's claims that they won't train your stuff without permission. They will. #Discord

Discord recently partnered with a Generative AI called DomoAI and apparently they’re in every server but sneakily don't show up in the member list.

However they still use the art/images sent in the server to train their AI.

To bypass this, people have found the AI’s ID so we can ban them.
The AI has already been banned in this server, but for anyone here who has a server or is in another art/creative space, please use this advice and ban the following ID using the /ban command.

1153984868804468756

It may also be smart to start watermarking your pieces.

If you have a voice, use it. especially those with 5k+ followers. Tumblr, twitter, instagram. this is about more than keeping families connected, people need to be aware of what's happening. if you are in the arts industry in the capacity of a public figure, it's time to speak up.
