When I was a kid, the only Native representation I saw in cartoons was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special.

I made Pow! to show that modern, funny Native characters deserve to be seen too. Watch us on FNX. If you like it, review us on @letterboxd.social and tell your friends!

We’re going to do a @pastduepodcast.com episode about the increases and what the options are. Anyone have a favorite reporter or expert on this topic?

We're going to have to do an episode of @pastduepodcast.com about this. IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST OF MUSICIAN, please let me know.
Not me, but a local musician friend. I know a lot of musicians, and it’s not at all uncommon for them to just do without insurance and hope for the best. My employer based insurance is something like $110/month (very fortunate). If I had to pay this much, I’d have to do without too.

Would any game devs out there like to tell their story on @pastduepodcast.com? Any indie developer who fans would like to hear from?
Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

Apparently there was a programmatic ad for ICE recruitment dropped into @pastduepodcast.com, the result of a big pod-forward push by the agency to reel in sub-optimally employed creatives, I guess? The official position of me, @mike-eagle.bsky.social and @andrewsteven.com remains Fuck ICE.

While I don't mention those by name, the last paragraph talks about collective and cooperative projects just like those! @jasonkoebler.bsky.social is an upcoming guest on my creator-economy podcast @pastduepodcast.com to talk about @404media.co specifically.

I appreciate the (mostly positive) feedback on this piece so much and it is a mark of my being a shitty entrepreneur that I did not link to either my own newsletter (currently suspended for technical issues, ANOTHER STORY) and my whole-ass podcast about the creator economy, @pastduepodcast.com
I have been thinking about @maxread.info's piece about independent creators as small business owners since he published it: maxread.substack.com/p/the-tiktok...

It's complemented nicely by @anamariecox.bsky.social's new piece about audience-as-boss (and more): talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...
