Dolly Parton was my literal dream of "If I get big money one day I'm just going to take what I need to live happy and spend the rest of it making everyone else happy making their projects true" She shouldn't be the exception, she should be the standard we hold everyone else up to

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

Please do not use an AI generated picture as a reference for a commission. I will definitely decline your request. I am way too tired to see AI everywhere. I can understand it can help to clear a vision, but a very simple sketch is definitely much more favorable than slop.

it's actually hard to form words to how viscerally upsetting it is to be told the best thing I can do is create in silence to no audience. I already do that. making art is already an isolating and deafeningly silent activity. the act of sharing your art is interacting and connecting with the world.

I'm getting responses advising that you shouldn't share things at all to protect yourself and I don't actually think that's the answer. I know this advice comes from a kind place but I actually think it's extremely damaging. It's the "don't wear anything slutty if you don't want to get raped" logic

I’m not interested in quibbling about Rowling’s statement because I do not believe her. I do not think there is grace enough in the world for me to entertain anything she says in good faith.

You’d think that with increasing numbers of shows and manga, demand for dubs on multiple streaming services, and fans looking for better quality translation and loc, translators would be living well. Nope. The workload has increased, the deadlines have been shortened, and quality checks are gone.

90% of the general viewer are only ever going to read the headline. It is extremely irresponsible of you and damaging to sanewash JK Rowling and provide her with a free boost. You know how she abuses words to lie and manipulate people.

Most likely damage control as PR for the HBO HP show. Pretty cynic... Ignore it, she'd have to do way, way more to make up for the damage she already caused & still will cause, even if she was genuine. And the people who died as a result of her acts will never come back...

I'm baffled that you would even share this headline. There's not a single human on this earth that has done more in these times to strip rights away from trans people. How fucking dare you imply that anything coming out of her mouth could resemble anything even close to "support"

The stalking and harassment that so many in this industry face is another massive issue. On top of the terrible pay, there are people with a vested interest in trying to destroy people’s livelihoods, and hardly anyone with any power seems interested in standing up for them.

Reposting this from Molly Lee, whose harassment over Slow Damage makes me upset years later. I will die on the hill of that translation. We were lucky that we *didn't* have the roadblocks stopping us from interacting with the original authors that this article talks about, and it *still* happened.
