We grieve. We move on.

Good news! I've lost enough weight that the entirety of my top surgery will be covered. Top will be sometime in Jan-Feb. Bottom surgery will be in the Feb-May window. If there is a cancellation when I have a natural break for a project, I will leap on it. Until then, I maintain/lose weight.

Heading in to my top surgery consult in a few hours!

Me: physically dead, people are at my funeral, mourning my passing Also me, in my casket: *restless leg jiggle*

Going in for my top surgery consult tomorrow! I have a Ko-fi to help with costs while I'm recovering. If you're looking for a trans person to support, you found one. I've waited 6 years since realizing I wanted this to be certain it was not an impulsive choice. It's time. ko-fi.com/U7U613D3A4

If you're not sure what characters a trans person feels comfortable voicing, just ask!! "Hey! Can you remind me what ages and genders you're comfortable portraying?" Some trans folks who appear binaried still identify as non-binary and you might not know! Please don't assume for us + lock us out!

‼️⚠️ STILL LOOKING FOR WORK & IN NEED OF HELP ⚠️‼️I'm at my wits' end. Even 'survival jobs' haven't gotten back to me. Overdrafted, overdue, & rent is coming up fast. If you're comfortable enough to help, please. If you have leads on jobs, PLEASE. Thank you. 🌺 ko-fi.com/kocobo | 🌺 paypal.me/kmarrero22

“Indistinguishable from real humans,” proclaims HeyGen, an AI tool that creates avatars from photos and video. In this video Alistair Hepburn, Executive Director of ACTRA Toronto demonstrates this technology, which is frighteningly easy to access and use and proliferating more every day.

Three weeks left on my current writing contract. If you're interested in having me work on your team as a freelance writer or a full-time project manager/coordinator, I will soon have availability for both.

I'm Marin M. Miller, a voice actor, writer, and vocal technique specialist that been working in anime and games since my first booking in 2006! Here are a few of my most well-known titles--do you know them all? That scream at the end, though....

Volume up!

Going live with @littlekuriboh.bsky.social and @sanguinelimbo.bsky.social on Murder By Numbers! www.twitch.tv/littlekuribo...

I'm cute once in a while

FUN (ADDITIONAL) FACT: How difficult it is to flip a client depends on the genre of work. Two examples demonstrating the extreme ends of the spectrum... Commercials? Unfortunately, that borders on impossible. Non-broadcast narration, on the other hand? *Ridiculously* easy!

MYTH: Non-union minimums are protected. FACT: Many actors still work below non-union minimums, even in Los Angeles. I can name several dubs alone. Actors charging different rates in different markets causes confusion for clients trying to understand the true cost of hiring actors.

MYTH: Union-Only actors have enough work to justify switching without a hit to their finances. FACT: Union-Only actors have decided to protect their minimums by working to flip their existing clients to union contracts, and often take a hit when initially making the switch.

Reading so much here about skilled, deeply experienced translators being reduced to much-lower-paying machine translation post-editing (MTPE) — fixing a first-round AI translation. Reminds me of the tremendous labor + frustration of *undoing* a bad copyedit (whether performed by human or machine)

Los Angeles becoming infested with an invasive mosquito species in my lifetime is homophobic, actually remember when you could go outside without BEING EATEN ALIVE

Psst. Have you all heard of GeekGirlCon in Seattle? I'll be there November 8&9th, 2025... what if we... got together and discussed people, places and things relating to media.... geekgirlcon.com

I've been so battered and burned out. Every day it feels like I scrape off enough metaphorical crust to make sure my joints are functional and creak back to pretend things are normal. But I want to keep trying to share this experience as best I can. It feels like the only thing I'm good at.

Being non-binary, my struggle with dysphoria ebbs&flows--I identify with some parts of my birth gender, but not the expectations. The last few years have been an experiment in drifting away from it to see when I feel unmoored; the edge of what I feel is comfortable in masculinity/femininity.

My gender dysphoria was very layered, and easier for me to dissociate from due to mental illness. My trans identity was NOT caused by mental illness--there is evidence of it from a very young age. I was mocked for wearing a tie to my first day of kindergarten.

Transness is not about mental illness, hormones, or surgery--though it is the most obvious expression of trans identity. Trans identity is the gift of autonomy over your gender. While transness is most easily identifiable through gender dysphoria, its heart is self-exploration and empowerment.

Me: sleeps in the Tiger Knee position Also me: why do I have daily hip pain???

I was not successful in any of my campaigns, but I was not intending to be. Unfortunately, we still do not have any primarily voice actors on national boards. I was running to test our level of organic level of grassroots engagement, to see if it has changed for the better since the last election.

Congratulations, Mr. President. www.sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-me...

Introducing myself to the associate at 99 Ranch by meekly saying "excuse me.... I'm having a white person problem..."

I’ve had several people ask me as a UVW member/game writer how I would feel about WGA screenwriters that broke into games joining our union. Personally? I’m fine with it. On one condition: reciprocity.

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

Stopped by Daiso in Little Tokyo to grab a new wig for the outfit I wear when I anticipate news about Yuri on Ice or Ace Attorney 7

My contract with Blizzard ends in one month. I'm still looking for a fulltime role as a senior writer or narrative designer! If you need someone who can write poetic prose, emotive dialogue, and sharp stories, I'm here. ✨

I keep trying to use Marvel Rivals to cope with life when really I am just failing to recognize that I need to cope with my addiction to Marvel Rivals
