🫧Happy #WebcomicDay and #mermay! It's the perfect time to read my comic!

The Sweetness of Salt is a queer romance about a mermaid's quest to break her bond to the sea, and the lonely witch who helps her.

It's full of bittersweet character moments, cozy environments, and ocean mysteries 🫧
The cover for the Sweetness of Salt. Leah, a red haired woman in a green dress, and Sha, a blonde haired woman with a purple mermaid tail, embrace each other in an ocean wave. The title is below them in gold. A page from Chapter 1 of The Sweetness of Salt. 
Panel 1: A close up of Leah's eye, looking slightly worried. SFX: B-BMP B-BMP 
Panel 2: Leah: "Is this what the cards were trying to warn me about?" 
Panel 3: A long strand of seaweed flows from the large spread here into Panel 2 above. Behind the seaweed is a fin, pink with yellow sparkles. Leah: "No - it can't be. I don't get the same feeling from her. Instead of drowning, I feel excited." A page from Chapter 2 of The Sweetness of Salt. 
Panel 1: A large spread filling the page. Sha 'reclines', floating on the surface of the water in her mermaid form. Sha: "Aaaah, freshwater. It's been too long." 
Panel 2: Leah's kneeling on the shore of the pond, staring in amazement at Sha. Leah: "Whoah, that's amazing! And it happens just like that? How does it work? Is it the water or you?" A page from Chapter 3 of The Sweetness of Salt.

Panel 1: Sha glances up at a glowing bauble. "These lights are yours then? Your magic?"
Panel 2: Leah is also looking at the bauble. "Sorry, yes - I couldn't find more candles.
Panel 3: Sha reaches toward one of the baubles while Leah takes a sip from her mug. Sha: "What on earth are you sorry for? They're lovely."
Panel 4: Close up on Leah, who's smiling bashfully. "You really think so? It's not...strange?"

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam. I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

To avoid confusion:

1. It is nigh impossible to get that rich ethically.
2. To hoard such wealth rather than invest in your community, and improve society, is unethical.
3. An ethical billionaire ceases to be a billionaire, by neccesity.

It's categorically impossible to be an ethical billionaire and I will die on that hill forever.

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it
black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."
