Got a new display cabinet for these bad boys. Would love to see how other people display their cats.

My amazing fiance @zeitgeistmistress.bsky.social will be running two 24 hour fundraiser streams on the 6th and 13th of December to help her escape a country where her very existence is considered a crime, and join me here in Australia so we can get married. Please share this around and donate!

got some more rejections from jobs i applied for, and that's most likely the last news i'll receive on that front for a bit, so uhhh, shares/donations appreciated so i can cover december's bills. we got hit with another high electric bill too. $100/$500.

I won’t lose… I’m the strongest…

Comm for @majodyna.bsky.social tysm!! I put so much love into this one. If I'm enjoying Motto a lot is because of Momoko, she's just as silly as Doremi and I love that! <3

Today’s a great day to support your favorite independent anime & manga journalism sites! @yattatachi.com @animefeminist.com @animeherald.com @okazu.yuricon.com All of these sites rely heavily on community funding, so why not help them out! 🧵 (breakdown of each site & donation links)

I can't emphasize this enough: If you're struggling to find work in games, you're not the only one and please don't blame yourself. The horrible state of the industry is unprecedented. The crash in the 80s and the recession in the late 2000s weren't as rough as this. There are so few opportunities.

I hope that on this #GivingTuesday you might consider a donation to my fundraiser for our local shelter. They don't just adopt out animals - they run a low-cost vet and spay/neuter clinic, offer emergency pet housing for domestic violence victims, and so much more. givebutter.com/n5l31M

If anyone is looking, I am on the hunt for freelance or permanent part-time or full-time work in localization! I mainly work and have been trained in print and film media.

Just a heads up this is the last week to order a painting to make sure I can get it done before the upcoming holidays! 💖

Thanks to all who have reposted this thread to help get the word out. The selling of these books "as new" on Amazon is making it more difficult for Unbound authors to rebuild what we lost and move on.

I'm looking for participants for my master's study about transmasc/trans men fans of manga and anime! Please fill out my 10-minute survey: form.jotform.com/253308772919... #transmasc #t4t #ftm #nonbinary #transresearch #transsurvey #nonbinarysurvey #transresearchbytransrsearchers

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

The 教師と学習者のための日本語文型辞典 is a grammar dictionary for teachers and linguists that every intermediate and advanced learner of Japanese should get. The explanations and examples are written for native Japanese speakers, which (I think) makes some complex grammar patterns easier to understand.

Adding AI to anything just makes it worse. Truly.

To wit: 4Kids dubs are literally what helped bring the medium to a broader American market, when the mainstream adult world wasn’t (and STILL ISN’T) willing to treat anime as anything other than toddler fodder. It’s easy to poke fun now, but the industry blossomed in part BECAUSE of their ambition.

All I can say is that the anime industry is very, very sick right now.

Hey Bluesky! I'll lose my job in ~1 month, and I'm not eligible for any unemployment benefits. The job market in Belgium really sucks rn, so I could definitely use some work as a freelance. If you're looking for AI-free, high quality French localisation for your indie game, I'd love to help! 👋

What a good day to commission an artist *points to me* 😉

I’d stay translating because it’s what I love. I’d love to build a company that specializes in bringing girls’ media to ENG spheres. With the field as it is though, it’s becoming less and less likely that I can do the work I love because I can’t live off of it.

Love to see the vocal outrage against Amazon using AI voiceover for multiple anime dubs in multiple languages Let’s keep those angry vibes going for when your favorite videogame developers start using it k?

We all agree that these "dubs" suck. But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care. The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

The thing that really gets to me about this alleged AI revolution is that after all the stolen work, after all the environmental damage, after all the ethical questions of the humans we're replacing, the end product is consistently fucking dogshit.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors it is fucking hot garbage #bananafish #anime

BEHOLD THE APEX PREDATOR HAS HUNTED A SOCK

This is also still an option.

Anyway, I literally am short rent, due in six days, because the anime workflow I once had in spades has run dry thanks to nonsense like this. If you're a content creator who could use captions for a video, please consider commissioning me. 113 minutes of video by next Thursday could make it happen.

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

People who think translation is just "replacing words" (because that is all a machine translation can do) clearly don't understand how language works. Who wants to read a book by an author who doesn't know how language works?
