Mutant Standard
The EFF...
- gets millions in corporate or corporate-aligned donors
- are only ever vocal on issues relating to governments, not corps
- lobbied against government oversight of ISP development in the 90's, helping to create the monopolistic hellscape americans enjoy today
- lobbied against a law that could have seriously set back the entire internet surveillance business model in 2004
among other shitty things
Mutant Standard
Since Mutant Standard is a very fuck Silicon Valley kind of thing, and because everyone who is into privacy and stuff sees this group floating around quite often online, you might want to know that the EFF is like, *really* bad and really really shouldn't be trusted.

As many have been expecting, Patreon is unveiling the multi-tiered funhouse version of it's service to pointlessly try to siphon more money from you and your supporters.
Part of this change is to try to reintroduce payment processing fees charged against low pledges, but to prevent another backlash, this is only for creators that join after the transition date, so if you want to set up a Patreon, you should do it soon.

In light of EmojiOne's recent tweet praising current police institutions (https://twitter.com/emojione/status/1083070633452269568), I'd like to remind y'all that Mutant Standard does not support the way policing exists in it's current form.
It does not support policing that incarcerates instead of does things that help society, one that has an endlessly escalating culture of suspicion, one that treats people as subjects instead of actual people.

Hey, I'm slowly looking more and more into a sticker sheet crowdfund. Let me know if you'd be interested in buying sticker sheets and if so, what kind of sheets would you like to see!
