“We’re shelving this live saving thing because it doesn’t have acceptable potential ROI” is the most capitalism situation possible

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

In a real impressive move, the universe decided to take the worst customer you’ve ever served at the club and put him in charge of the ongoing measles outbreak

Deep Space Nine, like all star treks, survive in the silliness. It’s not a crime to say that.

It’s also absolutely not a crime to say that while being black and a woman, which might also have an uncomfortable amount of play in the backlash.

Tawny Newsome said Deep Space Nine is silly and people are losing their minds. She's uh... she's right. Cry more, nerds.

The great Rachel Gitlevich(a fellow UArts alumni and animation labor trailblazer) posted this on linkedin. There's a lot of inherent good about "going indie" but there's also just as many things that could go wrong. We cannot reproduce the harms of the studio system.
www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I want to take a moment to talk about the moment indie animation is having right now. I have been a part time indie creator my entire career, and am now the happiest I've ever been as an artist doing it full time.

I don't need to get into all the problems with our industry right now and why so many artists are going into this space. Creators like Dana Terrace and now Matt Braly are able to bring 'star power' to attract funding the likes of which a lot of us can only dream of.

And herein lies the paradox of independently created series. It relies on platforms like Kickstarter, social media, and Patreon to generate enough money to pay artists VERY LITTLE to make a couple people's dreams a reality. Indie runs very close to exploiting young artist's talents and passions in what is an incredible punk movement in our industry.

I want us to hold space for the sacrifices young artists are making for the sake of dreams, entertainment, art, and passion. The reason indie is having a moment right now is because a wave of artists are choosing hope. They're choosing the harder path because they have faith in the power of storytelling, and understand that if they want to participate they have to take that power back into their own hands. And oh boy is now more a time to do that than ever!

$They're trippling down on learning how to operate a business, manage productions, explore unorthodox productin pipelines, and navigate a tumultuous industry that hasn't seen this much disruption in almost a century. Now, I want you to keep holding space for these people because here's the thing. The industry is watching. Its seeing that people are able to compete with streaming beheamoths for a fraction of the money. And they are absolutely going to exploit this. Whatever we do, we cannot let them do this. We cannot let tech companies and streaming giants swoop in and co-opt the sacrifices of our young artists, nor can we allow them to devalue the labor of animation, either. We must continue to organize and fight for a future where we can all create AND support ourselves financially. This isn't an either or, this is a yes and situation. So for every person saying "indie is the future" - its on you to make that a reality. If you want to know how, shoot me a DM.$
