something I'd like to say..

i dont care if someone's preferred pronouns bring you discomfort, use them or dont talk about them or interact with them.

"but indi! it/its pronouns are dehumanizi-"

NOPE! i dont care!

"but, this person goes by he/him but dresses femininely-"

so? is it actually hurting you?

"but neopronouns are hurting the trans communi-"

transphobes and terfs are hurting the trans community!

“Omg, I love these! They go up to size 6X AND they have pockets?! Wow!! But do you have anything longer?”

Sure do, no problem!!

“YES these are great!!! But what about.. longer?”

I gotcha!! Comin’ right up!

“Perfect! But I have just one more question… what if I’m feeling spicy? How about skirts that are even shorter than the first ones?!”

Oh, you’re in luck! We’ve got minis now.

Hey webcomic makers and enjoyers!!

My very cool partner has been working on a site called webcomicweb to try to help collect comics and help people find them, spurred on by randomwebcomic's domain expiring

more info under the cut, but it is a voluntary webcomics directory and we'd love to have you check it out to add comics or read comics if you are interested!

----

We're both millennials who grew up with the birth of the webcomic format, spawned from passionate strangers making things out of the human need to make art and stories and connect. When you stumbled from comic to comic through webrings and link pages before the internet got so small and so centralized and before comics became a business model for middlemen who have never cared about them.

webcomicweb can't promise any of the things a big, corporate product can promise because it's run by one person and hosted on neocities as a passion project with a $5 domain. we're not planning on making this a business and we don't know how long it'll last! but at least! we give a shit! my partner's going to keep paying for this and keep updating this directory for at least as long as our own comic is running (estimating 8 years at least at this rate lmao) so if this sounds appealing to you: bookmark the site, send us your links, tell your friends, whatever!

some features I wanna highlight bc I like them:

default randomized comic order - Zani specifically did not want to have the list end up with a bias based on time or alphabet. every time you refresh it re-shuffles so everyone gets seen!

filterable ratings from Everyone to Explicit

comics can ONLY be submitted by comic owners, so if you don't want to be listed you will not ever be dragged in by mass link scrapers or w/e!!

no monetization - this is literally JUST a directory for serving and displaying links to comics. because we like comics. because we want more people to read cool things and we want to read more cool things.

There's categories for paused, scrapped, and finished comics as well as ongoing! it's hard to get people to look at old things you've made in this feed-based world!!! but there's still so many people who wanna see it!!

anyway yeah that's my pitch!!! neither me nor zani benefits from this in any way other than the fact that we get to read and share comics! that is literally the whole goal! They've also been sending out emails asking people if they want in, but anyway they are so cool and handsome check out their site

A heavily underutilised aspect of the digital landscape is the ability to send someone a .zip care package featuring a few podcasts, a handful of indie ttrpgs, a couple webcomics, a digital mixtape, and the .epub or .pdf for some book nobody's ever heard of.

Man is it just me or are a lot of TV shows nowadays are written to have big emotional episodes in scenes with very little build up.

We're being strangled by censorship.... what now?

UPDATE: Current target priorities are PayPal and Stripe alongside Visa and MasterCard. Call to send physical letters increases - How to send letters!

I'm making my own post for this. I have been talking a lot about the censorship of payment processors and the recent banning of NSFW/queer/taboo content on itch.io and steam. I want to scream as an artist witnessing the growing meddling of payment processors as they strangle out the art that we are aloud to make and profit off of. Here I have linked the resources am personally utilizing and I think are the most to the point and well organized.

Resources

Stop Pay-Pros

BEST LINK TO SHARE. This site resources are very well organized and have scripts to follow and utilize and continuously updated numbers to call. UPDATE: Now has what to do if you get yelled at by customer service + new info for both what to do and who to call. Last update 8/3

What can you do as a creative to keep afloat?

I found this article to be extremely helpful on what to do in the meantime to keep selling your work as an independent artist online. This is mostly for my indie pub and visual artists who are selling PDF and Epub type digital files. Creatives are working on a neo-city's like platform - I cannot recommend this as of now but it is interesting to keep an eye on.

“Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!! Well, these prints are really cool and all, but I gotta ask- do you have anything in a different material?”
