This has a parallel. Into the 2000s, police in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan would take Indigenous folks they found outside late at night on "starlight tours," driving them beyond the city limits, and dumping them there. They'd often freeze to death trying to get home.

......I'm back?

Just a quick one summarizing the anime enshiffitifaction we've been experiencing the past 6 months (AI-subs, shitty typesetting, AI-cc, and AI dubs.)

I'll be back to my deep-dives on animanga localization next year, TBD.
thanks, AI hate it

This government never actually governs; it just points fingers.

Immigrants bought your house. Immigrants took your tax dollars. Democrats ruined the economy. Healthcare is bad…

Everything is someone else’s fault, and nothing is ever their responsibility.

I keep thinking about all of the people who were NOT hired as part of this exercise. All the real world production crew. The actors. The caterers supporting real world shoots. So many people with real skills not being paid. So. Many. Creative. People. Not. Being. Paid.

Imagine taking more time than it would take to do something traditionally. I bet it would take a builder longer to build a house out of jelly instead of brick, because jelly isn't brick.

I know a lot of people can feel pressured about financially supporting & feel guilty when they can't, so here are FREE ways you can support creators you love that's also appreciated:

-Share their work!
-Comment on their work!
-Leave reviews (5⭐)!
-Tell a friend about their work!
-Create fan works!
Artists are a big part of what makes your social media experience worth it. Most of them post incredible work out there for free (in this economy ??)

Remember to support your favorite creators so that they can keep making things you love. Seek out their patreon, shops, share their work.

Reviews are the lifeblood of indie authors.

In the last few years, reviews have trickled to a near standstill, which creates a conundrum: need readers to get reviews, but need reviews to get readers.

If you take the time to write even a single sentence review, YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

YouTubers, PLEASE stop taking Factor sponsorships. It is literally a subsidiary of Hello Fresh. They're hiding their brand name since they tainted it, but it's the same company.

Giving boys baby dolls to play with won't make them grow up to be gay. But it will make them grow up to be dads who can parent without ChatGPT.

I emailed them about it, they responded:

"Thank you for your suggestion on the AI-images; yes it is something that we are doing and we appreciate your feedback. We're working through our emails that have AI images and changing them to stock images. Thank you for your feedback."

Nice. 👍
Was happy to support a small business, was open to even staying on their marketing newsletter, then I saw AI images in their email. Gurl bye. Rip that company, I guess. 🙄
