Despite creating two tv shows, there really isn't much income after you're done making them. In animation especially.
Because of how my income works, I am technically a business, so I don't get unemployment.
My wife has a full time job that isn't in entertainment. That's how I can do anything.

2. It's rare for any creative, including writers, to be able to live solely off their creative income. Moreover, there is no correlation between the creative value of art and the income status of its creator. It's okay to have another gig to eat and pay bills and survive our capitalist hellscape.

The Joker vs The Skipper Thanksgiving Dinner Showdown! Their fight over Anton is probably the most tragic aspect of what undoubtedly was a bitter feud, as I’m sure Anton used to play concertina at the Lobster Barrel before Cesar worked his charms to lure him away… “For you, my dear Anton - A PIANO!”

1. I see elsewhere on Bluesky that the discourse has turned toward telling writers not to be ashamed to admit they have day jobs or other sources of income (or spousal/family financial support), and you know what, that's 100% correct. Day jobs and support from loved ones are great if you have them!

The Atlantic is calling RFK Jr the most powerful man in science.
He’s not a scientist or a doctor.
He’s completely unqualified to lead HHS.
This is a shameful example of the media bending a knee.

You know it’s the future when there’s sparkly pillowcases and bedding.
Pillows (sometimes the exact same one) made from the same shiny colourful material are seen several times aboard the USS Enterprise-D (#StarTrekTNG's "The Child"↖️, "The Survivors"↗️, "The Offspring"➡️, "Night Terrors"↙️, "Half a Life"↘️) but also on Rutia IV ("The High Ground"⬅️).
