Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

Y’all, I hate having to keep spamming this. However, with how sick I’ve gotten since July and zero traction on job apps/SSDI app, I need the help. I don’t like just asking for help, so you can get commissions there or prints/zines here (ssuzukiart.bigcartel.com).

My mom has been substitute teaching and in one class the teacher had already provided her a PowerPoint. When it showed an AI image, a kid said "Aww man, not the AI!" So yeah, even some kids are over this bullshit already.

Every democrat should be talking like this. Not the feckless mueller time version of this that we’ve had for years, but actual promises of actual consequences

As long as it goes unpunished we’ll never be free of this
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

A huge thing about AI to me is that, in this time of unprecedented stupidity and evil, human creativity is one of extremely few positive things I see out of, well, humans, on a daily basis.

If we finally lose that, just turn the fucking lights off. There's nothing left.
this helped me when no other fix to make the button for ESU appear work

0 issues in 12 years:

- Make sure your Paypal is a business account
- USE INVOICES
- call it "digital commission"
- include product use, turnaround time, and refund policies in ToS field
- uncheck "ship items to address"
- DON'T write NSFW/adult

Don't get owned for negligence & rulebreaking.
This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript
