A mentor hated the term "bad acting." To him there was no such thing. What he called out was acting he found unclear, unmotivated, or, worst of all, uncommitted. He felt the "bad acting" frame created the exact fear that cripples commitment. Study the material. Make a choice. Give it your best.

I wanna be super clear. We are under seige by masked villains- w/ no IDs, warrants, probable cause or concern for due process- who are abducting our friends, family & neighbors all over LA. We don’t need help from the federal administration, unless that help is them calling off their goon squad.

LA is under seige. Report ICE activity and get alerts.

I wrote a more robust FAQ for the DevTalk crew last month, but this section's broadly-applicable enough that I think it's helpful to include here!

Posted this in a jam dev group yesterday, but just for coverage: Hey! Hi! If you're making ✨a thing✨ for Otome Jam/Josei Jam and are looking for actors or have waiver questions: I'm around in an acting + bureaucracy-wrangling capacity. jettbarker.com has my visual reels and a more robust résumé.

Actors are not asking for anything unreasonable with AI protections. We have protections in every other area. Employers for television, film, animation, & commercials agree actors deserve AI protections. The few companies we’re striking against are the only ones in the industry who don’t agree.

Not sure where this came from but found it on @moreperfectunion.bsky.social's FB page and had to bring it over. This is why education, message discipline, and knowing the pressure points of Capitalism are KEY to moving forward as a Left movement.

In light of *gestures at the horrors*, more data-points: - International team (NA / EU / SEA) allied with Giant Stateside Labor Union - Team's 50% 🏳️‍⚧️ and >50% 🏳️‍🌈 - Great way to say "Screw you!" to corpos who think games won't be "relatable"/successful unless the protagonist's a cis, straight white man

Oooh, y'wanna hang out with these three variable levels of disaster-human this weekend... jettbarker.itch.io/his-last-machination

In 2017, @parkcofield.bsky.social created a piece of art each day-no kidding. 365 in a year… like ya do… 🤯 May Day is one of my favorites 💪

😭

Being asked to play with creative genius @jettbarker.bsky.social who also happens to be the LEGEND behind the SAG-AFTRA Game Jam Waiver? PRETTY. FREAKING. GREAT. You can play this beautiful game, created by an incredible team in *2 MONTHS are you kidding me??* at jettbarker.itch.io/his-last-mac...

I am so proud to be a member of @queervox.bsky.social & wow, it's an honor to sit at this table! 
Pls join us at Q Con this Saturday 5/3 in West Hollywood to hear about the amazing things Queer Vox does, find some new comics to obsess over, & get something signed- it’s FREE to attend! qconprism.org

SAG-AFTRA struggles to meet the needs of voice actors--I will be the first to admit that. This is because no VAs sit in higher leadership positions--because our own don't tend to be active in the union or vote. As I gear up to run, I am begging anyone with voting power to empower voice actors!!

Holy heck, it is an incomprehensible honor to be mentioned alongside these incredible performers! 🏳️‍🌈🎙️Thank you so much for the nomination, @gaymingmag.bsky.social ! 🎙️🏳️‍🌈

Autism is not an "epidemic" because it's not a disease. Saying we don't know what "causes" it is absurd. It's genetic and, what's more, NORMAL FOR HUMAN BRAINS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER.

Not sure who needs to hear this but please remember that time does not always equal loss. Just because the strike is 8 months in, doesn't mean we are losing. With more and more games signing the interim and solidarity growing industry wide... WE ARE WINNING.

needed to do quick neck stretch so i thought, 'brilliant! i'll just look around at all my capable, talented, courageous and attractive colleagues who are killing it right now!' but... there are just so manyyyyyy 🤩 (now taking recs for chiropractors)

✨THE NORTH REMEMBERS!✨ I'm absurdly grateful to announce that I voice a slew of kiddos, older ladies, and a couple Wildlings in "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad," out now on PC and mobile! I struggle to find adequate words for how much "My family's dialect is in actual Westeros" means to me. 🥹🐺

PROUD OF YOU!!!!

I've been quiet this month because I lost my car during the rainy picket. Being on the phone with insurance companies and not getting ripped off in the car sales process is hard even when you're not as autistic as I am. Please share it around and donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

@gregsaysstuff.bsky.social is a kind, talented human who could use some support after a giant butthead crashed into his car. If you’re able, please contribute and/or share!

Appreciation always for the opportunity to clarify and expand! No decision exists in a vacuum. Every choice we make for ourselves emboldens someone else to do the same. Once you see this truth you can’t unsee it, and fortunately, it’s what we use to build the world we want to see

🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Trans Day of Visibility!! 🏳️‍⚧️ Hi hi! I'm Florence! I'm a transfemme NB who acts, writes, and fights for rights. I believe each and every single person deserves to be who they see themselves as, and being trans is beautiful, enriching, and liberating. Don't be afraid to live your truth! #TDoV

FULLY AGREE we love to see it! It’s so inspiring and energizing, and is a much needed reminder that money and power are not the guiding principles of most game creators.

If you're a VA double check your game auditions for strike recasts & sus stuff. Some are hiding the IP, role name, PID, even misspelling things so you can't search. I just experienced it & a student of mine found a recast on Voices. It's easy to miss details or forget due diligence so stay alert!

facts? we love to see it!!! here's one more fact: those campaigns to make joining more financially adaptable? they're already happening! there are actors, like @marinmmiller.com, who are busting their capable and attractive asses to create change on this very thing because it MATTERS. ♥️

One bit of misinfo that's going around is "if Hoyo games flipped union, they would need to fire all the non-union actors in them." Even if that WERE true - and it's not, because non-union actors can work union games - the current recasts ARE non-union actors getting fired! It's happening NOW!

*taps the sign with incomprehensible force* Any video game can bring back their FULL voice cast IMMEDIATELY during the strike, once they agree to enforceable AI protections via a SAG interim agreement, and the game CAN still keep its non-union actors after doing so.

a sandwraith's perspective on gdc 2025

A recent Genshin Impact update reveals yet another striking actor has been recast. Here is the apathy it receives in response. Shame on anyone who thinks the strike would ever “become an invalid reason” in this context. These people are fighting for AI protections. Support them.

Hi! John's a skilled, very kind pal who—like those recast in "ZZZ"—did *the right thing* in holding the line. There was real optimism that this client might finally listen to folks re: union protections. Actors not giving up even when that hope proved to be in vain is a tremendous act of strength.

There are few talents comparable to @jpatneaude.bsky.social Keep your eye on them.
