Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨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.

Israel under Netanyahu has become one of the world’s most murderous rogue states, but that doesn’t mean anti-Semitism isn’t still prominent and virulent.

This is not a random person, but the writer of "Mornings in Jenin," the most widely-read Palestinian novel of all time.

This person is opining on Jewish history without knowing anything about it. None of this is true about the concept of Jewish peoplehood.

Post from Susan Abulhawa: "Historically speaking, there was never such a thing called "The Jewish People" before zionism.

There were Jews--Egyptian Jews, European Jews, Yemeni Jews, etc.

The fairytale they sell now to the world was manufactured in the 19th century. Most Jews didn't buy it at first; so zionists set up schools (literal schools!) to indoctrinate them into believing that colonizing Palestine had been their lifelong dream.

Initially, the only Jews they could get to move from their home countries to Palestine were poor and disenfranchised Eastern European jews. It was easier to lure them with promises of "milk and honey," riches and land of their own.

Others were more difficult to dislodge from their homelands. Zionists had to bomb synagogues in Iraq, for example, to make Iraqi Jews--a prosperous indigenous community in Iraq--to leave, believing their fellow Muslims and Christians had bombed them.

They didn't really want Arab Jews. For example, they kidnapped the babies of Yemeni Jews and gave them to European Jews to raise them in the preferred jewish supremacist strand. Ethiopian Jewish women were involuntarily given birth control to curtail the Black jewish birthrate.

The only thing Israelis have in common is their hatred and jealousy of the Palestinians--the actual indigenous people of the land--and their delusions of grandeur, premised on a fairytale of common heritage."

4. Netflix, however, didn’t flinch—and a week later, its stock is up, the boycott a fizzle rather than a firestorm, a hollow echo of the successful Disney backlash led by liberals around the same time that followed Jimmy Kimmel’s firing.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Recently, I had to defend my decision to not work for Rowling to an old friend I had over.

She yelled at me and asked me to prove that JKR is actively working against trans people.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.
