The best current example of how artists are NOT gatekeepers when it comes to learning art, as long as you show that you're trying your best on gaining the skills and doing the hard work.
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

I want to make sure the details you have are correct if you're contacting BU. The workers had work permits and no criminal records. ICE did not allow them to present them.

Expropriate their asses instead.

Good for them. If you're not unionized, do so. If your profession doesn't have an union, start one. It's the only way to fight for your rights as a worker.
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.
