This one hits hard.

When creators tell you "if you don't like it, make it yourself" it's because that's exactly why we made our own thing in the first place

people just assume disability and chronic illness mean you are the same kind of disabled every day. that couldn't be further from the truth. and we have an employment system designed with very little flexibility in that regard

Honestly this is part of why I quit using Twitter and why I’ve been using BlueSky less.

When there are so many people following our show, it means a exposing myself to a lot of messages, good and bad.

It’s unhealthy and unfeasible to interact with so many people I don’t know and don’t know me.

I'm basically calling this the ADHD card. You get so caught up in making the thing, you don't think about the consequences

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

Creators don't owe you anything. You are the audience, no matter how big of a fan you claim to be. You don't get to change how a story is told, and have no right to hurt the people telling it.

Seeing my friends be harassed infuriates me, and anyone I ever catch doing that will be blocked on sight.

You all failed the assignment.

I have met so many wonderful fans in-person at conventions. All of this toxic discourse we see on the internet regarding fandom are only a small portion of the overall fanbase, most of whom have been lovely.

Please strive to be kind. Thank you.

We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit

Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands

Kill your inner exec

Alcohol molecule is a dog.

Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully.

In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.

"Unalive" "grape" "seggs" This has got to stop. Do people hear themselves? Its like talking to a particularly sensitive toddler. We can't remove serious words from our language just because we're afraid some fickle algorithm will show our posts to less people

Last thing I’ll say before going to bed. A creator being cringe, or ‘unprofessional’, or annoying is not somehow justification to treat them badly. You are allowed to be critical of someone’s behavior, we all are. But I see it used to excuse such genuine cruelty. It’s not a crime to be openly human.

Grainy black-and-white photo of a light skinned young boy sitting on the wooden steps of the house. He is wearing knickers that come just passed his knees with no socks or shoes on. Standing next to him is a shorthaired, white and tabby kitten. The boy looks like he might be speaking and the kitten Looks like it could be listening to him.

Serious talk. Real photo postcard from my collection, no date/info.
