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

one week left to apply. this is an excellent chance to try your hand at doujinshi - happening next to an established anime con (ALA) with a low, non-prohibitive table cost ($30), and rules around doujin-exclusivity!

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?????

I'm revisiting my creative writing from elementary school and I was honestly cooking. This is the pre-internet me where my sole entertainment was 1940's era VHS tapes and reading library books.

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.
