I don't understand why people don't want to join the patreon for literally $1 dollar. Literally the change on your drawer, I'm not worth it. This site isn't worth it. And that speaks to me volumes. I'm seriously considering shutting the magazine down. I'm burnt out, I have little to no material support, and I'm sick of the idea that everyone is waiting for me to have a lucky break. The left eats their own.

Hey! Thank you! I'm kinda crashing out because the job market has been extremely rough in my field and I had just landed a basic ass job at 7/11 and they hired to many people and literally had to let me go the second day I was at work. Been feeling so much pressure to make this website make money and it's not good for me or the project

Goddamn? The second day? That last sentence hits though because I keep trying to build up an art following so I can eventually make money off of it but I get like two followers in a year. Sucks lol

I want the magazine to be a platform for other artists too, like you should be able to send in some works to get promoted, but it all takes so much time

Zine rack page is under construction. For the time being the link will take you to https://www.sproutdistro.com/

thank you! the website is just me cleaning and reorganizing files so i'm not hunting through fifty folders LOL

It is my belief that companies like itch.io would do the exact same thing—if and when payment processors demand they remove content that references Palestine, content that is anti-ICE, content that is pro-trans. If Visa and MasterCard said, "Sorry, you have to remove all references to trans people, that's Trump’s orders," they would do that, and they would do it in a heartbeat.

wouldn't any company tho

All content we host on itch.io will be removed from the platform out of solidarity. We will be re-working the zine rack and arcade pages to no longer need itch.io.

itch.io has removed all NSFW content from their site in an effort to get ahead of payment processor based censorship.
