Reminder: This industry will never love you back. Keep involved enough to do your job well but with a very healthy distance to keep yourself sane.

Not for nothing, but they told us Dominicans taking over manga days would one day come and sharing it with @dezinpub.bsky.social is an honor! 😎✌️
We've been being promised 3 and 4-day work weeks thanks to technology ever since the 1950s. It never happens. We keep the 5-day work week, and expectations of output skyrocket instead.
Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!
you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
The Cornell victim has been doxxed on X. So worried for her. I hate this planet.
Oh I forgot to mention here: I watched Forgotten Island on Friday and it was SO good. Highly recommend watching it not only cz it's amazing representation but also cz it's genuinely a wonderful movie. Story is A+, humor was 11/10, and the animation was beautiful and refreshing.
Hey so do we understand now what I mean about AI being about enforcing a form of slavery ? And a “black box” to justify-it Or do you need a PHD / white person to explain it And that Gen AI is very much about trying to get aesthetics away from certain people to justify their segregation
Paul Schrader Says He Turned To AI Because “No Black Actors Wanted To Play In A Movie Where There Are No Good Black People”
On Friday I wore this cute outfit to a friend date at Morgan Library’s tarot exhibition. I took many photos of my favorite tarot card, the fool, but this cunty one was my favorite.
This review I published when I was EIC by Dexter Thomas, was the article that made it clear that Kusama anti-Blackness permeated her work, and even more disturbing, the art market was trying to cover it up in all sorts of ways.
What the Art World Doesn't Want You to Know About Yayoi Kusama
A new publication tries hard to reinvent Kusama as a champion of racial equity despite her troubling record of anti-Black statements.

The largest and oldest Black studies departments in the country have been closed, but a bunch of people decided the eugenics guy was the crucible for academic freedom.
Does anybody on here want to see a humorous and distinctly American juxtaposition of two unrelated signs?
