Netflix Animation Studios production workers have ratified their first union contract with The Animation Guild. The deal includes wage minimums, dismissal pay, workplace protections, and higher pay for Production Assistants.

Be nice to yourself, even when you think you don’t deserve it. Especially when you think you don’t deserve it. Remind yourself of something you’ve done. Forgive yourself for a mistake you made. There’s so much bad out there right now. Try not to pile on the bad inside too. You’re worth it.

secrets are a heavy burden

Spirit Migration 🍃 #art

The idea that a company could claim every idea you have as their own just because you're their employee is ludicrous and frankly bad practice! Workers hold back their best ideas because they're afraid the company will prevent them from working on it. It's lose lose!

it's the only way

You get A2 milk if you fold a sheet of A1 milk in half, and if you fold A2 milk in half, you get A3 milk.

at some point you gotta put new silicon in the computer and no amount of linux will fix that.

Not gonna tag the person but “stop complaining about personal computing dying and install Linux on an old Dell Optiplex” is not a solution to computers getting expensive and I’m the person most likely to do that for fun.

It’s not a goon cave it’s an orgasm chasm

as anti-ai as I am, i really must stress that, particularly now, there are no real 'tells' on most AI pieces that are reliable. Many times when folks say something feels like AI, it's bc it's one of the styles AI likes to steal from - there are real artists with those styles out there.

it is not defending AI to recognize that I have not actually seen an image generator put someone's entire hand on backwards, a thing I, a human artist with decades of practice, have managed to do hundreds of times

my contribution to the question ✨️🏳️‍🌈what are you proud of🏳️‍🌈✨️ asked by @queerbritain.bsky.social 💙🌸🤍

Happy heatwave, Bluesky. Today's acceptable takes are: 1. Opening The Windows Is Centrist. 2. ChatGPT Told Me To Drink Petrol To Cool Down. 3. Brits Can't Handle Heat Because They Only Eat Boiled Sandwiches Look I Changed Flights In London Once I Know These Things. You know what to do.

Alright, we are go for a Stellaris run as The Cat Colony, a Rogue Servitor empire of robots caring after a pampered species of cats. Our home star is 'Warmspot,' our home world is 'Catbed' and our first colony is 'Cattower.'

I’m going to hold your hand while I say this. If a marginalized person asks you to do something differently, the response is not to blow up and ask them why they’re riding your back when those guys aren’t even trying to do better. They’re asking you because they think you’re somewhat open-minded.

I do not know how else I can say "GLP-1s are a very useful drug that can be life-changing and life-saving for many people and should exist" and "they are also mass marketed, prescribed, and sold as a miracle weight loss drug and being used to perpetuate fatphobia" are statements that can coexist

#ClipStudioPaint tip: When you want to reduce a layer's opacity so you can more easily draw on a layer above it, clicking this little guy (at the top right of the Layer window) will colour your layer blue, like a blue pencil sketch, to make it even easier to tell the lines apart. #CSP

Sharing this again as it seems MCM London is on. I'm not going this year but would love to find more #UKartists! 💜 Pls share this starter pack around so we can find more folks to join! And do let us know if you're at #artistalley! 🎉🖌 #art #starterpack #artist #artshare go.bsky.app/KrcwMkF

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

In @transactualuk.bsky.social's response, they say the EHRC's new code of practice "leaves trans people in the UK today with less rights than they had prior to last year’s Supreme Court ruling." They added it's "weakened protections for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole" Our initial look 👇

You have to support the projects you love with money. I am sorry we do not live in a world where that is not the truth.

sighs brings out the megaphone once again TRANS LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN CIS FEELINGS

This tactic sounds very familiar. It looks a lot like how accounts are being hijacked to spread fundraising spam.

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

Congratulations to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social on somehow making Theresa May’s Conservative Party the most socially progressive government of the last decade, I suppose. Really impressive to be that fucking ghoulish a person.

Archie, you piece of dog shit

I reposted part of this thread last night, but it's a good thread. Create art. Not content. Don't chase trends. Be a huge weirdo about something and people who are weird about the same thing will come to you. Forever. That's so much more sustainable & valuable, even if it's a harder road

lmao what the FUCK incredible

I’ve been told my eldar look like Bevis and Butthead and it’s because they have the same level of maturity

fuckin go for it

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

this is a Canadian petition to uphold charter rights for transgender and minority communities if youre Canadian, please sign it. if youre not Canadian, please share it. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

If you are someone looking to hire someone else for a freelance project and you end up not wanting to work with them for whatever reason I promise you that being forthright is waaay better for everyone involved than ghosting, especially if the ghosting happens after the artist gives you their rates

Shut up and go make some art that no one is asking for

Oh to be an eepy little kobold

Please feed them snacks and then give them some pets

So it turns out if you go cybernetic in Stellaris, then there's a risk that your species will invent the War Thunder forums.
