Don’t let the black and white trick you. The Capitol Crawl was in 1990. This is not ancient history.

Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???

Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.

Don’t do this. Do not.

I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.

Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.

Use Paypal Invoices. 

I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes.

There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission).

And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you.
And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.

ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a  LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation. 

I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.

Very important!

As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.

Hot take but fat people don’t need to work out to justify their fatness. I’m tired of people reacting to fatphobia with comments about a person’s physical activity. As well-meaning as they may be, saying things like “this person works out so clearly they aren’t unhealthy” reinforces the idea that fatphobia is acceptable if a person doesn’t meet certain expectations. A person’s health is none of your business. A person’s physical activity is none of your business. If a fat person enjoys working out, that’s wonderful but still none of your business. If a fat person doesn’t work out (say it with me) it’s none of your business.

Fat people should be able to live and exist in their own bodies with out constant judgement.

This is why I dont like it when fat people respond to negative comments with “okay but literally I work out and am vegan/vegetarian/whatever diet” like GREAT ! You don’t need to appeal to what assholes want from us!! I eat like shit! I don’t work out! I’m no less worthy of respect and my body is not disgusting.

i think it’s important to acknowledge that there is a contingent of doctors who have been… uh… coasting ever since med school ended. here’s a quick crash course in telling them apart

• competent doctor: recognizes that your symptoms sound familiar but also realizes that the illness is outside the scope of their expertise, so they give you a referral
• incompetent doctor: doesn’t recognize your symptoms, chalks it all up to a mental health and/or weight problem and refuses any follow-up care
• competent doctor: stays up to date on the latest research in their field, is interested in sharing newly-discovered information with you
• incompetent doctor: maintains the absolute minimum amount of knowledge to not have their license revoked
• competent doctor: approaches their patients with good faith
• incompetent doctor: assumes all patients are deceptive and have ulterior motives
• competent doctor: recognizes crying and other overt pain symptoms as unacceptable and tries to resolve your pain any way they’re able
• incompetent doctor: ignores pain and either refuses to attempt to treat yours or willingly worsens it during a treatment by ignoring your reactions
• competent doctor: realizes they don’t have all the answers, isn’t intimidated by the thought that you attend other doctors
• incompetent doctor: views their patients as income-generators and feels personally insulted when you attempt to leave their practice
• competent doctor: recognizes all their patients are people; will be transparent about your treatment and speak to you with advanced and specific terminology if you demonstrate that you understand
• incompetent doctor: views patients as a sub-class of people, justifies lying to patients as “for their own good”

It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.

So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.

What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.

In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.

This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.
