If you want all writers to be rich dorks born rich who don’t need the money this is how you get all writers to be rich dorks born rich

If you want writers who were poor dorks born poor because maybe just maybe they have something different to say, this ain’t it
Using the belief that creators are the "petite bourgeoisie" to justify pirating books/stealing art is EXACTLY what makes it so hard for anyone who isn't rich to pursue their creative dreams

If you steal our art, you PERSONALLY are preventing us from building sustainable careers
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

I think a lot of people don’t understand how efficient and intricate the MC / Visa call operations are and how a limited but dedicated number of people can completely derail things
If this keeps happening, managers notice, managers of managers notice.

Satisfaction numbers for the service as a whole go down. If it keeps going long enough, they risk damage to the brand.

"You can't get through to VISA if something is wrong" is not a reputation they want.

My family has me making green bean casserole, and they won't let me put cheese in it. These fools. I'm the only lactose intolerant one here, too.

with Black Friday being this Friday the 28th, this is the time to maximize the impact we can have via call campaigns

If you plan to participate in this call campaign, imo you should heavily prioritize calling Visa/MC as heavily as possible between the 27th and the 1st of dec
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Might need to stop drinking 20 ounces of hot chocolate a day in order to stop shitting myself violently in the bathroom next to my silent office space. I never have peace, and neither do my coworkers.

The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

Cannot be stressed enough that Black trans women were immediately sidelined in the early 2020s. Just pushed out of the convo immediately, even though transmisogynoir has always been an emergency and Black trans women are disproportionately targeted
Read this piece I contributed to in 2017. This piece, talking with the friends and families of murdered Black trans women, still haunts me to this day.

Pieces like this are just not printed anymore.

So far in 2017, 21 trans people have been reported as murdered. These are their life stories.
