[ID: An animated Mob Psycho 100 comic. Reigen notices Mob and Dimple using a psychically waving fan to cool down. Mob is slumped and sweaty, and Dimple is melting over his head. Reigen raises his hands almost like he's going to karate chop something, then spreads them out and begins vigorously flapping them up and down. This transitions to Reigen shouting triumphantly as his arms turn into a pinwheel, radiating action lines and ruffling Mob's hair. The final scene shows Dimple and Mob looking content as Reigen's hands continue to revolve in front of them. End ID]

Image description: a twitter thead from Patrick McHale (@/Patrick_McHale). First is a quote-retweet of @/ToonHive, from which the original tweet reads:
"'Over the Garden Wall' will leave Max starting August 31st."
McHale replies: "it's funny, i just saw this now, but coincidentally i've been fighting the urge to tweet this all day: 'i hope somebody is out there ripping and saving all the stuff on all these streaming services because i'm pretty sure so much of it is gonna disappear and become lost media.'"
and continues in a second tweet: "years ago i didn't have a game console, but i had an ipod touch. got deep into 'mobile gaming' in early days. there was brillian work. amazingly creative games. slowly the app store UI changed, became impossible to find that stuff. games disappeared. gone the way of flappy bird."
End description.
Pirates archivists, PLEASE do the world a favor and upload your rips to:
And don't forget why they're removing everything from streaming: To cheat creators out of their pittance pay residuals.
before you see something and recoil at the price, be it handmade items, services, art, whatever. when you see something and you think, "i wouldnt pay more than $15 for that," you seriously have to ask yourself: if i were offered that same $15, would i make this object? would i spend the time to teach myself this skill to get this done, for $15? would i do this service for that same $15? would that be worth my time and effort?
yeah, that handmade necklace is $140. you might only be willing to pay $40 for that same necklace, but would you make it for $40 if someone asked you to?
you want to pay the babysitter fifteen bucks for the three hours she's watching your child. but would you honestly do that for $15? would you go into a stranger's house and change their baby's diaper and care for its needs, for $15?
you think its ridiculous that this artist is charging $30 for an icon commission. would you spend years catching up to their skill level to make that same drawing, start using your skill to make some extra cash, and then spend three hours on a drawing just to get $15?
would you be willing to work for $5 an hour?
no?
then don't be angry when someone else won't.
you don't have buy the service, it's okay if some things aren't within your budget or comfort zone, and it's also okay if the product isn't worth that much money to you. but do not be angry. be glad, because you know of another person out there who isn't being exploited for their time.
So true. My husband is a graphic designer, freelance. And he charges for the project itself, his time to do the thing, plus any extras he may need to do in order to complete the project for them, especially if he needs to start altering files or creating art for the project.
He regularly charges $3000+ for his work. And he always has work and repeat clients.
Don't sell artists short just because you think it's not worth it.
My dad, a successful contractor, once told me about giving an estimate for a job:
“If you don’t feel a little guilty about how much you’re asking for, you’re not asking for enough.”
