VOICE ACTORS (along with anybody who believes that AI should have regulations)! Somebody in Congress snuck in a 10-year moratorium (AGAIN) on state-level AI regulations into the National Defense Authorization Act. Call your senator and tell them that this is *not* OK! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

One of my favorite lines from Company: “Amy, do you know if other people did to you what you do to yourself, they could be put in jail?” The same character goes on to say (about marriage): “Just because some of the people might be wrong doesn’t matter. “It” is still right.” Still work to be done❤️

~20 pickups for a 14hr title feels damn good🥳

Took a tango class today and kept sinking into my fencing stance lmao. But what a joy, I need more!🤩💃🏿

Another new DC audiobook on the way. @marcthompsonvo.bsky.social is back as Superman and joined by a host of UK VA's such as Kerry Shale, @loreleiking.bsky.social, Glenn Wrage, David Holt, Garrick Hagon and Martin T. Sherman. Plus @rebabuhr.bsky.social and @teebeevo.bsky.social.

Me the past 3 months😂

Use “Find My Pin” to skip the snail mail✌🏿🥳

Organizing is so funny because what do you mean I have to bottle my righteous anger and placate literal demons for the greater good like-

Never allow your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

Me waiting for updates from my negcom like a normal person and not using fans to harass my union

I’ve been coerced into purchasing my first BL novel…

They're making us a "Last Best Final Offer" we can (and must) refuse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zws...

For members to vote: 1. NegCom must recommend the contract to our Nat’l Board 2. Nat’l Board must approve the contract to go to membership Both of these steps require confidence in the safety of these terms. These changes are the BAREST minimum, so let’s wrap it up❤️

Why is everyone treating our int’l colleagues like they’re waiting in the green room like Nancy Kerrigan…

So not only are mocap performers being offered a fraction of a contract cause the employers maintain that they’re not PERFORMERS, anyone with a recognizable character can still have an ICDR prompted off past performance with no notice (and certainly no recourse during a strike). Additionally,

🧵 Dear Unionized Industry Cohorts and Producers, Stop shitting on us. 🧵

Tomorrow (tonight?) at 1am EST, the House of Representatives Rules committee will vote to approve the text of a federal budget bill, part of which would ban states from regulating AI at all for 10 YEARS. Here’s how the SAG-AFTRA video game strike ties in and what you can do to help:

I just want to point out that is SAG-AFTRA had not made the deal with that one AI company they would not have been able to fight this. A union fights labor practices by agreeing on contracts with companies, so should they break them there is legal leverage. They can't just say "you can't do that".

Sometimes, you wake up in a cold sweat at Goblin Hours—filled with existential panic over [strike determining the future of your field]—throw together dodgy poetry, and are embarrassed but not surprised it comes out easier like this. Emotional vulnerability's hard when it's not in character-brain.

Get your action hats on! Tomorrow, the US House considers the text of a new budget reconciliation bill introduced by Kentucky Congressman Brett Guthrie. The bill contains harmful cuts to Medicaid. It also contains a provision that would prevent states from regulating AI at all… FOR 10 YEARS. 1/5

Creatives in all industries are incredible. Community & collaboration are key to creating work that moves people & movements that change the world! 🥳 In honor of the solidarity we’ve seen & the road ahead, we’d love you to join us in celebrating how we're #StrongerTogether & #StillFighting 💪 (1/4)

Worth perusing if you think what employers are offering for videogames is “good”🙃

Today, Game Performance Matters is celebrating #InternationalWorkersDay and all those working every day to create a better future for our industry! ✊

I love when a post becomes more relevant over time

In case anyone needs to hear this: Yes, we SAG-AFTRA union members voted for the strike. It was staggeringly in favor. I’ve attached proof. Note the date.

THE BIG SCREEN?! Sneaks is out this weekend and I got to do scratch with some of this AMAZING cast and join the loop group last year! Big thanks to the VO Chateau and our casting director, Robyn Klein, for helping me reach this milestone✌🏿🥹

And that wraps up our proposal comparison series! Check the thread for info on where we are in negotiations, what we’ve offered employers, and what they hope to get away with.

NEAT! Nearly a year after its release, my silver-tongued romance CURSED BOYS is topping some Audible charts I loved writing that book, and I loved @teebeevo.bsky.social's dynamic narration! Give it a 🎧 wherever you get your audiobooks!

My heart is so full🥰

Bellular is one of my favorite content creators! Lot of good things to say here about the strike youtu.be/__BfZsfivXo?...

Ben is infinitely hilarious for this

"Why is SAG-AFTRA making deals with AI companies like Narrativ and Replica and Ethovox?! You're shaking hands with the devil! NO AI EVER!!!" Lemme explain: "No AI ever" is a stance SAG-AFTRA legally can't take. AI is a "mandatory subject of bargaining," which is a double edged sword: (🧵)

I LOVE when devs chime in

Let’s put this Taft-Hartley discussion to bed, shall we?

How many electricians, plumbers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, tradespeople et al., invest in their careers just to stop short of earning union benefits? Why are actors so special?

Yesterday I interviewed @teebeevo.bsky.social & @joshsterling.bsky.social from @gpm-official.bsky.social Together we talked about the ongoing @sagaftra.org Voice Actors strike, why it's important, and also answered some hard hitting questions! Check it out here!: youtu.be/kkO484d7qKE

If you're feeling hopeless and miserable, I cannot possibly overstate how much it helps to just pick one thing you can do that helps people, and do it. You only need to do one person's worth of work. That's all any of us can do. You'll be doing what you can, and there is so much relief in that.

Got to chat with a bunch of indie devs today about how accessible union contracts are now✌🏿🥳 It’s more important than ever for small dev teams to carve out communities of support for their titles. Human voices will keep that support sustainable!

Today’s cast spotlight goes to the incredible @teebeevo.bsky.social , who guessed-starred on our episode, “A Special Meating” Playing detective Lou Lincoln, he gives a piece of his mind to our protagonist, Walter Camry, during a deadly case involving The White Glove Society. 🕵️‍♂️ #TrueVaultEscapades

That about covers it💅🏿
