Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community. Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis. Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia. Nas deserves support!

When we reestablish rule of law in the US, one of the reforms we should make is a law capping CEO compensation (salary, options, etc) as a fixed multiple of that of the lowest paid worker (employee, IC, whatever.) If CEOs couldn’t make more than 20x the minimum pay, you’d see wages skyrocket.

It truly makes no sense whatsoever. The west just doesn't take animation seriously as an art and it's costing us so many incredible stories. But also, we've seen how well animation for older audiences is already doing so, like... do more of that?? Please???

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

I think it’s telling that rather than funding a world that allows more people to be able to make art, the goal of the tech overlords is to plagiarize the history of the arts to get rid of human makers and technique while concentrating more wealth into the hands of a few. I don’t know how that’s good

The most liberating mindset shift for writers? Understanding that the person across the desk in that big meeting is HOPING you're amazing. They need great writers as much as you need opportunities. You're not being judged—you're being discovered. #scriptsky

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned
