Another vote for carrd! Cheap but not the most intuitive. I have a 'Pro Standard' account, which is good enough for most things, but I had to implement some crazy workarounds to do stuff the higher-pay tiers offer. Thankfully, you can input simple code to customize a lot of stuff.

I was SO looking forward to working with Morgan again on this recent project. If you're able to, scoop them up now. You won't regret it

Renee was another incredible artist impacted by the recent layoffs. Now would be an excellent time to commission something from them!! ko-fi.com/dreadbeasts

Received a very shocking and abrupt “pencils down” notice yesterday, meaning I am now available for work starting immediately!

Sorry, that's 5pm PDT*. I will continue to make this mistake because I find these bi-annual time changes very silly!!

Fellow Titmice! If you are eligible to vote, you can do so NOW until 5pm PST tomorrow (Friday) 💪🐦

Hey Titmouse pals! There's a town hall meeting TONIGHT at 7pm to talk about the new agreement, and the ratification vote starts TOMORROW!

What's in Titmouse Vancouver's new TA?

Recognition of Leads! Leads are now on the wage table with formalized pay increase and crediting. Leads are invaluable to the work our members do, and we got them recognized thanks to those who showed up to our rally during this summer's negotiations!

Titmouse Vancouver workers have a tentative deal on their second contract! ✊🐦

A blue cartoon bird is smiling and stepping out of a maple leaf symbol, with one hand outstretched and two fingers raised in the peace/two symbol. Bright red text at the top reads "WE DID IT!" and at the bottom there is text that reads " Titmouse Vancouver workers and the employer have reached a second tentative deal. Learn more at tm-ratification.info

Text reads "The Canadian Animation Guild, IATSE Local 938, is happy to announce that the animation workers at Titmouse Vancouver have renegotiated a tentative agreement on their second contract, with workers voting on the agreement in three weeks’ time.

Some key victories for the Titmouse workers in this agreement includes, but is not limited to:

Increased wage minimums, with increases of 9.5% or more over three years

Recognition of Leads, with increased wage minimums and crediting

Improved job security, giving current and returning workers access to preferential hiring

Meal Penalties to compensate workers directed to work through their meal breaks

AI language providing worker protections in line with other IATSE contracts"

Text reads "“Four years ago, Titmouse workers established a foundation for the workplace they wanted to see.” says Eddy Pedreira, President of CAG 938, “Today, they have built upon this foundation in many ways, taking one step closer to this vision. The improvements in this new agreement show that even when our industry is at its most turbulent, collective bargaining still wins the day.”

Animation workers in Titmouse Vancouver’s creative roles were the first Canadian animation workers to form a union under IATSE Local 938 on October 13th, 2020 and they were joined by Titmouse production workers in 2023. IATSE Local 938, The Canadian Animation Guild, was chartered on April 21st, 2020, and is Canada’s first dedicated union Local for animation workers. The Canadian Animation Guild is actively organizing more workers across Animation, Video games and VFX studios with the goal of improving the working lives of their peers.

John Lewis, IATSE International Vice-President and Director of Canadian Affairs said, “We are proud of the wins that Titmouse Vancouver workers have secured in their new agreement. These improvements are a testament to the commitment we have seen consistently from this group of workers.”

CAG will be hosting town halls for Titmouse workers to prepare them to vote on their agreement on September 24th and 25th, 2025.

Watch Stugo on Disney+! Wonderfully unhinged people made this! Including me! Watch the Disney show that people have said feels like it should be a Cartoon Network show! That’s two networks in one without any type of garbage corporate merger needing to happen!!! 🥰 thank you 🥰

We have a (tentative) Deal!

WildBrain workers bargained for more than a year with their bosses to bring this agreement home!

From the lowest point our industry has seen in more than a decade, WildBrain workers have pulled together a solid union contract. Let's redraw our industry together!

I switched to Carrd a few years ago and I dig it! (though it's been ages since I did a proper update 😅) I always renew on their Black Friday sale which is typically 40% off and works out to $11/year for my plan! My domain is separate which I think I pay about $25/year for from d*main.com

Big believer that an outfit can never be 'too much'. You look great!
