H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

If you question why voice actors would independent choose to strike projects that Hoyo refuses to provide reasonable AI protections for? Look around. Look what’s happening. These companies will do this with or without your permission. Actors and artists are fighting because the fight is HERE.

A tweet quoting a post that reads:

“Well look at that. Open Ai and Google outright reject “Opt-Out” models, hell they even reject basic transparency requirements.

AI companies demand they get everything, including our Intellectual Property, for free, and without anyone ever being able to tell the companies no”

The person quoting it says:

“AI companies don't announce when they start training. They train IN SECRET. We don't know until the models are live and ready for prompts.

By then, our data has already been used.

It's impossible to opt out.

We can only ask that they stop going forward and that is NOT ENOUGH.”

Seriously!! Japanese anime made me realize how animation is just another medium of storytelling, and the subjects that it could cover ranges in so many ways. It could be as kid friendly as Pokémon, or as dark and complex as Perfect Blue. It has limitless potential.

People who say they don’t like animated films and shows are missing out on such rich stories because they’re limited in their idea of what animation is and it’s honestly sad!
