My absolute favourite part of the article is this. Its wild how unbelievably easy it is, when met with the information that something you made previously may be insensitive, to respond with “oh! Thank you for telling me, let’s correct this! Wow! Correcting this also added so much to this character!”

'Bob's Burgers' creator Loren Bouchard on the evolution of Marshmallow "It was perfect," Bouchard says of Jari Jones' introduction to the show.

I love this article SO much :’) If you don’t watch bob’s burgers: this is an article about an interview with the show’s creator on the evolution of a beloved trans character in the show who started as a one-line funny character—and I have never seen a cis white man respond better to anything ever 🥹

I think we need to change the way we talk about SAG-AFTRA. Not a dig at Jeff here (I too would like to see a SAG-AFTRA Amazon Agreement,) but we've got to stop referring to SAG-AFTRA as an organization that can just "step in" and do stuff.

Mohawk folk rock musician Logan Staats took part in the protest against Frances Widdowson’s residential school denialism rally in Victoria, British Columbia earlier this week.

He talks with APTN’s Creeson Agecoutay about his thoughts on the rally.

A clean water bill that nearly passed last year died when Parliament was prorogued.

Chiefs were told it would be reintroduced this fall — but it wasn’t.

Now the PM says “a” bill is coming in spring, the National Chief says it must include First Nations authority over source water.

Every day I get someone asking me to get in touch with Glitch to make my next project happen and

So I’ve heard the English AI slop dubs of three anime shows were removed from Amazon! Fantastic! We love learning and actions to be better.

Now remove the Spanish AI dubs :3 And don’t forget the KDramas that have the AI dubs too. Thanks!

Would tag Amazon here but they have no foot here to tag sooo

Your response matters.

I guarantee you there is a whole department of people at Prime Video who is quietly celebrating today.

Keep up the good fight, everyone.

Someone somewhere who doesn't have an ounce of caring for the medium or the material involved said "No one will notice or care".

Well, we noticed. We care. And we'll continue to because art is humans connecting to other humans. And your money will ONLY ever be extracted from that AUTHENTICITY. 🫵🏿🎙️🎛️

Trans Professors comment Mel Curth (She/They) November 16, 2025 at 2:04 PM Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting point for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive. While you are entitled to your own personal beliefs, there is an appropriate time or place to implement them in your reflections. I encourage all students to question or challenge the course material with other empirical findings or testable hypotheses, but using your own personal beliefs to argue against the findings of not only this article, but the findings of countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology, etc. is not best practice. You argue that abiding by normative gender roles is beneficial (it is perfectly fine to believe this. but to then say that evervone should act TPUSA OU

Trans Professors comment the same, while also saying that people aren't pressured into gendered expectations is contradictory, especially since your arguments reflect a religious pressure to act in gender-stereotypical ways. You can say that strict gender norms don't create gender stereotypes, but that isn't true by definition of what a stereotype is. Please note that acknowledging gender stereotypes does not immediately denote a negative connotation, a nuance this article discusses. Additionally, to call an entire group of people "demonic" is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population. You are entitled to your own beliefs, but this isn't a vague narrative of "society pushes lies," but instead the result of countless years developing psychological and scientific evidence for these claims and directly interacting with the communities involved. You may personally disagree with this, but that TPUSA OU 2

Trans Professors comment doesn't change the fact that every major psychological, medical, pediatric, and psychiatric association in the United States acknowledges that, biologically and psychologically, sex and gender is neither binary nor fixed. I implore you apply some more perspective and empathy in your work. If you personally disagree with the findings, then by all means share your criticisms, but make sure to do so in a way that is appropriate and using the methodology of empirical psychology, as aligned with the learning goals in this class. If you have any additional questions or concerns about this or would like some additional educational resources, I would be happy to discuss this further and provide you with them. 3 TPUSA OU

Additional professor Megan Waldron (She/Her/Hers) November 16, 2025 at 3:09 PM Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with Mel on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment. Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning. I find it concerning that you state at the beginning of your paper that you do not think bullying ("teasing") is a bad thing. In addition, your paper directly and harshly criticizes your peers and their opinions, which are just as valuable as yours. Disagreeing with others is fine, but there is a respectful way to go about it. That goes for discussion posts as well as reaction papers. Please employ more thoughtfulness in your future assignments TPUSA OU

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

@Ilyndseybelle this is what 50 bucks means to a small business. $50 is nothing to a billion dollar company. start shopping small @meownikaa whoever just placed a $50+ order in my shop, thank you so much that literally just paid for half of my groceries tomorrow

Shopping small is meaningful!

Oh, huh! Maybe it’s because I’m in Canada that it’s not working for me then? No idea!

Sadly does not seem to work if you just setup an account, (cursing myself for not setting one up when I was contemplating buying a Square last month 🤧🤧🤧) but if you already have an account 1000% login and jump on getting this, even just to have a spare!!!

This life really is full of such wonderful things ❤️ people, creatures, weather, nature, tastes, smells, sounds… I can eat a little chocolate with a plant in it and be strange and silly for a time, I can snuggle in next to another being I love under warm blankets… Despite all else, life is so good ❤️

Lean into it. It feels corny as shit. That’s the point. Layer that shit on, my god, we need to be hopeful! Anything less is kissing it all away. It starts in you.

We all agree that these "dubs" suck.

But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care.

The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

Honest to God I think your average novice voice actor on Twitter or Bluesky could do an infinitely better fandub of this from home.

…Hell, why don’t you? Call it the “Banana Fish Challenge”. Dub a scene from the show in English and show the suits at Amazon how shit they are.

A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text".

"After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now."

I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think!
