Appendicitis turned into complications with a month long hospital stay. Lost a lot of time, a lot of income, struggling to stay afloat. Help if you can.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.
"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

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.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Where you choose to spend your money is a political act, and the richest in the world don't need to be any richer.
The call to shop small for Christmas goes far beyond 'support artists' (but that too) - it's a battle cry for ethical consumption in a world entirely driven by capitalism.

I get told pretty often something along the lines of real artists want the world to have our art, and like…yeah. I give away/trade a lot of art because that makes me happy, and I would do that a lot more if I DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE. These people just want to skip the step where we eat 😒

I haven't start the m9 animated series yet even though I really want to. It's just that c2 is my happy place and I'm worried I won't like the changes they made. Also, whether I enjoy the animated series or not, it'll make me want to rewatch c2 and I just don't have time for that lol

Out of Your League is so much more than just a newsletter. It’s a community. It’s my livelihood. And I can’t do it without all of you.
I've shared some real talk on what it's been like since leaving Substack and how you can help. This newsletter is not AI slop and it is written by a human (me!), and I pay other people to help me create the product you receive in your inbox on a regular basis. But I can't do it without you!
