This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

I'm confused, I mainly referred to newer talents undercutting out of fear and systemic problems in the industry as a result.

Do you mean professionals who still undercut?

You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚

Don't fall for a carrot dangle. There's never a carrot. If there was, they'd have a carrot.

Remember voice actors, you're worth being paid for your work and time, don't fall into the trap of giving work out for free just to get a chance at future work

You deserve to be paid, for your time, your energy, your skills, everything

Don't undervalue yourself ❤️

I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve been working (among other things!) on my first solo project!

From now on, I’ll be posting regularly again, sharing progress with illustrations, assets, devlogs, and screenshots.

If this caught your interest, sharing and wishlisting help a lot!

BIG NEWS! I'm working on my first solo game, WITCHLIGHT WOODS, and I now have a Steam page!

It's a narrative horror game, blending fairy tale fright with psychological horror; consider wishlisting the game, it's a huge help! store.steampowered.com/app/3913130/Witchlight_Woods

Remember: And this is how we have systemic exploitation of newer talents in our industry.

Kimlinh Tran @kimlinhtran.com · Jul 18

I also remember when we were so scared of first impressions going wrong that we were afraid of asking for any kind of compensation, let alone competitive pay.

"We're not worth ~professional~ pay!!"
"You're going pro?! That's career suicide! Go 'semi-pro'!" /cont'd

I know I don't "have to" talk about dad.

But lately I think about the ways he was an okay dad compared to the times he wasn't. Every time we think we're "ready to let go", I think I'm not.

Between the periods of our household being sick and dad's recent pneumonia, I was able to watch some TV with him. He had a little bit of clarity, enough to express he had a headache when asked. The SVU marathon was on. Weird episode, but should be better than weird things he's stuck with on TV.

Not talking as much about my dad's status 'cause it's either bad days of not communicating with us or someone being sick so we can't visit. In the most recent case, my dad has pneumonia again. He's on a trach, so he can't breathe unassisted. He should be "fine". It's been years of this.

I like this site (Embrace Autism) though, since it points out which tests have outdated questions by clinical and even autistic standards for each test.

Also took the Autism Spectrum Quotient to cross compare. Got 32.

%V I think I'm somewhere on the spectrum.

5 years, 2 days ago, a friend of mine took his life and left me a brief suicide note.

He was one of my first online friends. He helped my laptops over the years & even helped me with website hosting. It hurts every October. I miss him.

I wanted to say something pointed about governments counting formally diagnosed individuals as "people to kill 'cause there the not-abled", but ran out of characters.
