These screencaps are from the last open meeting the Guild had with Hive staff. I left hiveworks not long after this, because it seemed important to get out before the tech staff quit and there was nobody to offboard us. Here are multiple staff members acknowledging that this did happen! (part one)
Screencaps from a discord meeting. Hive Staff A: Isa went to school for artist management, but not specifically for accounting/bookkeeping. I forget what sher exact degree was in. She did have some experience through previous jobs. it was a role she stepped into because there was no one else at the time because of how badly the funds were misappropriated for our first few kickstarters. Yes, we know the car story. Unfortunately, I have lived through it. Hive Staff B: I did NOT know the car story, and as I told Meg Syv, I wanted to scream blood when I found out. Hive Staff A: I had managed to block it from my memory. Non-guild hive artist: hoo boy August: I unfortunately had not. Hive Staff A: That was in the days before we had a warehouse. We were fulfilling Kickstarters from (identifying info cut). I was furious when I found out and so was Isa. It was that incident that led to Isa taking over financials. Non-Guild Hive artist: I remember the fury clearly (and somewhat fondly) ((because there was someone to be furious. good to have [thumbs up emoji])) Hive Staff A (direct reply to August): I think too many things have happened since then both here and elsewhere. Alli Shaw: 1. Could we trouble you to list what happened with the car story from your perspective? I feel like it's relevant to add context for the current situation. Especially if that's what made Isa step into her role. Hive Staff B: From the way she herself explains, it, Xel was under a frankly dumb assumption that she earned some of that money from Yamino's Kickstarter because of a stipend Yamino was being paid under at the time. Hive Staff A (direct reply to Alli Shaw): So our first kickstarters were the first Sister Claire, Go Get A Roomie and August's comic, The End. From what I remember, Xel believed that the proceeds at the end of those kickstarters belonged to her, not to the artists. August: which, to be clear, was a thing she never said to ANY of us, in any capacity. Hive staff A: No. And Isa and I didn't know either. Xel used that money to buy a car, which was used and then was later sold to someone else. Isa was furious because of this and that's the point she took over financials from Xel and ran them until early this year. August: So from my end, I was sending messages being like "hey I need some of the kickstarter money to pay for the books, I need to ship these books out now" and the responses I was getting were basically along the lines of "ohh uhh we can't give it to you all at once, so only ship like 20 books or less per week and we'll send you the money you spent, after you ship them!" and it was so, so sketchy but we were so worn out by then we just wanted it to be over Hive Staff A: I had no clue about that, August. I am so sorry. Shay: Important to note that misappropriation of funds contributed for a specific purpose is known as "breach of trust," which is extremely illegal in Canada at least. American law may differ somewhat but I suspect there is an equivalent there. Hive Staff A: To be clear, this was all back in what....2014? Meaghan (direct reply to August): Fuck me, that's revolting

My local art museum has this giant painting of a cat in their collection which I love (and have a poster of on my wall)
I went in there to see it but it wasn't on display BUT then I asked a custodian about it, and they took me to the art storage in the basement so I could see it! VERY sweet of them!

going to assume that this is trolling bc American homeschooling is so unregulated that children have been killed by their abusive parents after getting homeschooled, and the rest get indoctrinated into extremist Christian cults. like srsly... compare cop and teacher salary there. wtf
