Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can. Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop. Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵 www.nga.gov/artworks/fre...

Well, DAMN. Jorge R. Gutierrez (El Tigre, The Book of Life, Maya and the Three) has just posted a 40-MINUTE pilot to his YouTube, and it's fucking WILD. Big "This is the thing suits won't let me make" vibes. Content warning for a ton of violence/blood! www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zZ...

Just found out about this and I am gutted. Kyle was one of the best of us, such a genuine, sincere, passionate person with so much love of the craft. He’ll be missed by every person he touched, and many more who’ll find his work and learn about him from this point onward.
Kyle Tsetso@kyletsetso.bsky.social · 8mo agoI’ve asked for this to be posted after my death. I accepted government assistance in dying. I’m proud to have been part of the animation industry during my short career, and meeting lots of fun, interesting people. 1/
while obviously this is not exclusively a woman's problem, i just also just want to point out that this generation specifically has more women working in animation than EVER before and yet the career opportunities and upward mobility available to us is nonexistent.
THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago
Caroline Kubzansky@ckubzansky.bsky.social · 9mo agoArianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/09/c...
Online censorship is one of the many levers of state power right-wingers have been pulling to try and snuff out queer and trans existence. But instead of fighting back, some Democrats are helping them at the controls. Read the full #OpEd from @fightforthefuture.org
Why Are Some Democrats Backing MAGA's Anti-LGBTQ+ Censorship?
From late-night host cancellations to removing LGBTQ+ history from government sites, politicians in both parties are contributing to the overwriting of the internet — a place where lots of queer and t...

Blue Wave@votebiue.bsky.social · 11mo agoFor all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
No amount of marketing advice or hustle culture bullshit about monetizing followers will fix the structural problems that make freelance art careers so difficult. Maybe spend more time asking why people can’t/don’t want to pay us? Why society can’t support us?
Wait, hold up — Are you trying to tell me you DO NOT have to fire thousands of employees and destroy your definitive franchises and shutter studios every three months?
Stealth40k@stealth40k.bsky.social · last yr.To counter rising development costs, Nintendo is going to explore making games with shorter development cycles. They are also making investments in their development teams to preserve the way they've always made games.
Where is the patronage today for art, tailoring, craftsmanship, and public buildings? Why are new elites so allergic to any sense of beauty? I argue this is happening partly because people have associated crappy aesthetics with authenticity, intelligence, and virtue.
I cannot fucking believe we are reposting Get Your War On in 20 fucking 25
Big Ol’ Mush@chadstanton.blacksky.app · last yr.I’ll repeat.
It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.
Newark Airport Had 3 Controllers on Duty When the Goal Is 14

Ok, I gotta make an icon for my profile this week. This is embarrassing. 😅
TL;DR:
Josephine "beckbook.com" Riesman@josie.zone · last yr.Oh shit! It's up! I'm honored to say that the Dutch television station @vpro.nl ran a 20-minute special on me and RINGMASTER! If you don't have time to read the book, it's a great primer!!! But if you like what you see, buy the book: ringmasterthebook.com
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! Let's keep the yaoi train ROLLING! All extra funding will go to offsetting unexpected costs (like tariffs!), paying our crew and supporting the studio!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jel...
if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · last yr.Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...
FYI for folks doing GoFundMes after the LA fire and other natural disasters.
Elle Schneider@elleschneider.bsky.social · 2y agoThis is VERY important for anyone you know affected by the Los Angeles fires who is currently raising funds on GoFundMe: FEMA does not cover expenses already paid for by other sources. So be careful with how you word your fundraisers—this has affected people who survived other natural disasters.
Many who work in animation live in L.A. No doubt a great # of people who follow me are also fans of it. Here is a shared list of industry workers/friends affected by the fires, people who worked on some of your favourite shows and films, people who make things you love. airtable.com/appugwkqKAVG...
