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.

Hey y’all- a great, small rescue in Austin can use some help. They’re trying to get a badly injured kitten from the border up to Austin. If you’ve got a few bucks to add, that would be huge.

Anne is a trained pediatric anesthesiology nurse who uses her skills to help tinies

Venmo in the alt text

And yet another precious life is hanging in the balance.

Believe it or not, we truly loathe asking for help as often as we have been lately. But right now, another kitten desperately needs us — and whether we can step up depends on what our supporters are willing to make possible.

This little one is currently at Palm Valley Animal Shelter. She was brought in by animal control after being found stuck in a fence for three days. Her right front leg was already gone — amputated by trauma — with bone exposed. 💔

With no veterinarian on staff, the shelter has no means to provide the care she urgently needs. She’s been given an END OF DAY deadline — 5PM today, October 16th. Without a rescue stepping up, her story will end there.

We want to say yes. We want to bring her to safety.
But to do that, we need your help.

We’ll need funds for transport, our rockstar volunteer transporter Jessica has already agreed to make the drive for us, a surgical amputation to clean and close her wound, and ongoing care. If our community can rally behind her, even just a few dollars at a time, we can tell the shelter she’s safe and on her way to healing.

Can we count on you to help us say yes?

Every single dollar, every share, every show of support tells us she’s not alone - and neither are we.

Can you spare $2 for this little one today?

You hate Danganronpa because of its horrible character writing and plot. I hate Danganronpa because it takes up time that Chunsoft could've used to make Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. We are not the same.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

My sketch queue is empty! Let me draw you something!

𝖙𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖍 🦷🌿 @toothandbranch.bsky.social · Aug 18

I'm now offering simple sketch commissions !! 🤍✏️ These have a much quicker turnaround than my rendered pieces, and they're best suited for design concepts and thumbnails.

Submission form ✧ toothandbranch.com/#commissions

[ #sketch | #comms | #commissions | #artsky ]

Screenshot from the commissions page of my website; a box with two columns. On the right are six examples of simple uncoloured sketches, ranging from humanoids to fantasy creatures and monsters. On the left is text, reading:

Character Illustration,
Reference Preferred

$25 – $55 Base Price
Best for concepts, thumbnails, or exploring design options. Quicker turnover than my rendered pieces. Price varies with level of detail and time dedicated to the sketch. Extra fees may apply for very complex designs. Some elments may be simplified. Flat colours or basic shading may be added for an additional fee of 50% the commission cost. For example — adding flat colours to a $40 sketch would cost an additional $20 (50% of 40), so in total the commission would be $60.

Today I received two pieces of mail from folks who appreciate my artwork and it is like I’m riding high on a kite. Sometimes all I need is a little bit of validation to keep the darkness at bay.
Thank you everyone who helps boost and support me and my artworks. 🌱

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I use BGB's Pride Pup base as my main vtuber! I've also used their Raptor base for dinosaur game streams!

These bases are super well put together- they were already a fantastic deal at their default prices and are a steal right now!

Please consider looking at BGB's stuff! 💙🫶

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.
