About a year ago my discord account was hacked and I haven't managed to get it back. Any mutuals who would like to reconnect (or connect lol) dm me and I'll send you my current account name!
Hopping back on for a year-end summary and honestly, not a great year for me personally. A lot of struggles going on in my family. Professionally it was a bit better but not as good as my 2023 and 2024. But one really cool thing happened that maybe I'll talk about some day.

I don’t want to say “Unplugging yourself from world news is beneficial to your mental health”. Because turning a blind eye to world events IS irresponsible. But I do think limiting the amount you hear about the actions of evil people does help focus your mind and not give in to despair.

Support the victims.

Zero tolerance for anyone who preys on people too young to understand what is happening.

I really need to get back into the swing of things. I haven’t done an audition since the strike started.

I very frequently get the itch to get into streaming for real (maybe even vtubing who knows) but the big thing is yeah huge time commitment.

I know the meme is that Digimon evolution is ridiculous but I love that every Digimon branching line looks like this.

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed.

One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists.

From my experience the pay looks about the same as Non-U video game voice over work. I don't think I've even done a session longer than 2 hours. The idea that that your average voice actor is a millionaire is obviously laughable.
For reference—these numbers are public-facing on the Dubbing Agreements page—

If you're working a UNION anime job, your take-home pay for a 2hr session will be a little under $250 (if you have taxes withheld) or $300 (if you don't).

The latter is about what you'd earn in two 8-hour days at $18/hr.
By recording session, VAs tend to be paid a few hundred dollars, less than what most workers make in a week.

I make most of my earnings from conventions, and even then I am not rich; that's WITH a somewhat steady workflow and con appearances.

It's an unsteady job that takes work to maintain.
