Mutant Standard is made by a disabled queer person who doesn't have a stable income, so if you've enjoyed Mutant Standard emoji and have the money, consider kicking a few bucks this way:

Mutant Standard was the first emoji set to have a trans flag, in addition to many other non-rainbow pride flags. :3 :transgender_flag: :genderqueer_flag: :demiguy_flag: :bear_flag: :nonbinary_flag:

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

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.

Something cool that I shared with patrons a month ago: a very rough concept of what a browser extension could look like~

And the Patreon has hit $200/mo! Thank you all so much!!! Time to talk about livestreams!

All Patrons get to choose what streaming service I use in an exclusive poll I've just made! (https://www.patreon.com/posts/livestream-poll-24213770)

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.

(more iOS tests~~~)

(the alignment/metrics of the font haven't been fully worked out yet)

Prototype of a Mutant Standard font working in iOS!

(the released version of this will be signed, don't worry)

Thoughts about cultural cooption by corporations, how to possibly make Mutant Standard more resilient in the long-term to that kind of situation.
