While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

How lovely are these linoprint cut-outs by my mum, Jo?
I'm sending these out to the next 7 people from Bluesky who subscribe to www.tom-cox.com at the annual Villager or Help The Witch rates. (Which, along with the Yokel one, gives you full access to my writing.)
Let me know below if you do!

Yes, this is me venting.
Yes, this is me hoping a few Bluesky users will subscribe to my newsletter.
But, yes, it's also posted so people are more informed about Substack.
I'd like to see more people - writer & readers - get away from it.
Substack is a capitalist machine. It's not your friend.

Some thoughts on moving a subscriber list away from Substack - for various reasons, some political, some personal, some about not wanting to give part of my income to venture capitalists - and something very very strange (and a little scary) that has happened as a result of it...
