Cannot reiterate this enough:

PLEASE don’t request refunds from Apple for any unused time on your Twitterrific or Tweetbot subscriptions.

It could literally bankrupt small shops like these.

Oh, and if you're using the official Mastodon web client, I highly recommend checking out https://elk.zone. It's very good and they're releasing new improvements almost every day.

If you're on iOS and not in the Ivory beta, or just want a free/open-source alternative, Ice Cubes is a great Mastodon client. After rejecting it from the App Store for nonsensical reasons, Apple finally approved the app today after @gruber wrote about it. It's definitely worth trying.

I'm gonna get my media calendar project up and running again on the Fediverse!

Earlier this year, I became aware of STANDARD EBOOKS, a donation-dependent group of edtiors and layout experts who have been doing the amazing work of taking out-of-copyright books, turning them into top-quality ebooks, and then releasing them for free.

Some of the books they've done are in the Internet Archive here:

They're seeking 75 patrons in December to keep themselves afloat, consider donating to this amazing cause.

#protip I always tell art students working on their #comics to
1: Identify the most important part of every panel.
2: Lure the eye there. One very effective way is to make it the point of highest contrast.

Here's a great photo posted by Kaleb Horton on twitter that demonstrates how this works.
