I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any connections to any Yankees, Knicks or 49ers players? Please DM if you do—trying to facilitate a kindness for a friend with a terminal illness.

I've been making this point to friends but to work in animation requires highly specialized technical knowledge and that alone is reason to demand higher wages. In any other industry, salaries would START at $100,000 for what we're required to know and do*.

Well, time for my first thread here on BlueSky, and I'm pissed off. I've been catching up on the situation with F&SF and Sheree Thomas. I'm slow because I'm not on FB anymore, where apparently the bulk of the convo is happening, and I'm barely on Twitter. Anyway.

For SELF, I highlighted the trans kids who don’t make the news, whose stories might go otherwise unheard: the ones who are already out there playing on teams with their friends, winning and losing without incident.

Not me having a whole break down with statistics that show that even though acquisitions of BIPOC books went up since 2020, bestsellers by BIPOC have gone WAY DOWN. Because it's not enough to just acquire, when they don't support no one actually hears about or reads the books!

This is incredibly true, and it's why one of the most important things for me in publishing is *not* just the question of training work using my input; it's the question of publishers using actual human editors.
Folks don’t seem to understand. It doesn’t MATTER that AI is shitty at your job. Your CEOs will happily deliver a 100x shittier AI version of your job if it means they don’t pay your salary.
This is true no matter your pay level. But it’s coming sooner if you’re underpaid.
Neutrality is complicity

Said it before and I’ll say it again: we in SAG-AFTRA and/or the WGA know they are not going to stop with OUR jobs.
If your job CAN be replaced with AI, it WILL be.

If you DO subscribe via KU, you need to OPEN the magazine and flip the pages for the magazine to get paid. It's like Netflix: doesn't count for ratings until you watch the show, no matter how long it sits on your list.
Other ways to support: Weightless Books, Patreon, Kickstarter, etc.

Just a quick reminder that if you subscribe to any magazine via Kindle Periodicals, that program ends at the end of August. If you decide to become a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, be aware that the magazines will be earning about half as much money per subscriber as before.
