If you're at all concerned about HB 5366 which will require age verification to be on social media, reach out to your reps and the governor now before this bill goes into conference. Our concerns are not falling on deaf ears. This is an easy way to do so: www.stoponlineidchecks.org/ma/

While Donald Trump was relaxing on the golf course over the weekend, working people had to worry about rising prices and an economic crash. Congress has the power to reel in the dumbest trade war in history—and stop this madness. All we need is a handful of Republican votes to reverse course.

Ah yes, because the most challenging, interesting, and memorable art of any era is always the hackneyed, nostalgic nationalist kind that tiptoes around the feelings of those in power. And why should those poors get special access to resources to share their voices and vision? This is fucking dark.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

Lastly, it can be intimidating if you're not sure you have enough to offer. Get started anyways. See what you can get done and assess the time it takes, and set that as a rough schedule. Even if you fail (as I often do), your supporters will be very forgiving. They're there to see you succeed.

I'm not sure I'm as bullish as Patreon about this being a golden age for creators, but I can say the connection to your fans on Patreon is much more direct and vital there. They interact on a deeper level, and as a consumer I never miss what folks I like are doing (compared to on Meta/YouTube).
