Please be careful doing this, as Twitter has shown how easy it is to photoshop a receipt

I've also heard rumors of people donating once and then sending the receipt to multiple artists, stay safe <3

Thanks, guys. I’m really hoping people don’t resort to that but I’m going to try and google around to see if there’s an easy way to tell.

I will say, I have followed your art for a very long time. I am genuinely sad at how your art has turned into Rob Liefeld art proportions.

I’m sad of your passive-aggressive behavior here and on Twitter.  I srly donno what’s even up?  I’m aware i do make mistakes.I’m not perfect. I did try to improve my art, and absolutely open to constitutive critique. “lol what wrong with hand “ “lol dat poseXD” don’t even help in any way. If you enjoy my work anymore or direction i go? ....this is up to you what you gonna do about that. Have a nice day.

Hey, because I was watching something about America's 'slavery is fine if it's prison labour' I wondered if Canada had something similar? I tried googling it and it just came back section 31 of the charter but I couldn't really find any correlation. Would anyone be able to tell me if Canada has similar legislation wit prisons here as they do in the states? Such as low (or non-existent wages), or legal slavery inside prison? Thanks!

Yes, this exists in Canada. Maybe not free labour but pretty close to that. Less than $3 a day with deductions. But this is informal, not because of legislation I believe.

Prisoners making $1.95 a day want a raise. Taxpayers want a break

Everything you were never taught about Canada’s prison systems

From this one:

Federally sentenced inmates’ maximum daily payment of $6.90 was set more than 30 years ago.

If you’ve been to a federal government office, chances are you’ve used a piece of furniture made by a federal prisoner through the CORCAN program, which produces goods and services for the government and private clients. Prisoners are paid a daily maximum of $6.90 to work within a CORCAN program, or run various parts of the federal institutions where they are incarcerated, including in kitchen, library, and general maintenance roles. By comparison, Matt Torigian, the Ontario Deputy Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services made $620.79 in the first day of 2016. It would take a prisoner at least 318 days to make the same amount. And, while the Deputy Minister got an 11.6 percent raise between 2015 and 2016, and a whopping 87.2 percent raise between 2014 and 2015, prisoners’ wages haven’t increased in 36 years, despite recent raises to Ontario’s minimum wage.

This meagre salary has been frozen since 1981—when it was set as 15 percent of the federal minimum wage. The federal government began automatically deducting 30 percent from that amount in 2013, in addition to removing incentive pay for working with CORCAN, in a move to save costs. Less than nine percent of prisoners even make the maximum amount of $6.90. Thirty-seven percent make $5.80 a day before deductions, and 30 percent make only $2.50. The average before deductions is just $3 per day. Prisoners can reach the maximum amount only after at least a year of working with no absences, no late arrivals, and having “exceeded expectations for interpersonal relationships, attitude, motivation, behaviour, effort, productivity and responsibility.”

I'm laughing cause they're all taller than me (even the shorted is taller by two inches, and I don't mind that a bit)

blue, black, sans, and red are canonically “one hand shorter than you” (enough that you have to tilt your head down to talk to them) so fear not! as short as you may be, they are shorter

  What did neil gaiman do?

Dude, Gaiman is a secist, racist person, why defend him?

I’m not defending what he did. He was selfish and blinded by privilege. I’m just saying I can understand why he did it because I’m a fucking adult and I don’t reduce other human beings to a list of the worst insults thrown at them.

Also, what the fuck is a secist?

tainted-petals replied to your post: i feel like ppl jumped on the whole player theory...

But Kris is actually good at piano. Talk to the orderly again and they say you normally play much better than that. Which means Kris was being a little shit for the sake of it

Anon is saying that there is a person who is controlling Kris, and that person exists in-universe and is not the player.  This person tries to play piano with Kris’s body and does very badly, while if Kris was in control, they would play very well.
