Hi! I'm Renee, a Vancouver-based animation industry veteran and artist. I'm working on posting my art more, but you can also expect frequent yelling about worker rights, my cat, the Film & TV industry, and FFXIV. opinions are mine and do not represent my employers

Nothing. NOTHING. Gets my goat faster than demanding urgency and availability on my end and not responding in a timely manner. The fuck do you mean you want me to be instantly available but aren’t going to get back to me with the same urgency?!

Also I am so tired of click bait news on YouTube. If it’s the worst day of the current administration and they’re totally cooked it better be something more newsworthy than yet another stupid gaffe or the usual bullshit. If it’s “totally over” I better see people in handcuffs or actually quitting.

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

I also feel bad for my Uber driver because he drove out to the ass part of Burnaby’s industrial park for this only for me to cancel my order. Poor guy could’ve made money elsewhere. I did tip him on the cancelled order since it wasn’t his fault, and he was a bro, but what a shit system.

Look now that I’m unarguably a White Middle Aged Lady I don’t wanna use my karenhood for evil But when people cock something up in ways that cannot possibly be my fault because I’d have to literally travel through time, I’m gonna get my money back.

I was a little mean on the phone, but there has got to be a reasonable line between “I’m being unreasonable and demanding because I’m grumpy” and “booboo you messed up and you lying to my face or being incompetent does not make me a karen for wondering how that is my problem”

I wish I had better exec function when it comes to cleaning… even with the pressure of having people over the task is often so hard to focus on that its exhausting and makes me feel like shit

Idk if it’s because of events a few years ago or depression or birthday tomorrow or what but I’m feeling particularly invisible and unvalued lately. Like what I say doesn’t matter and what I do is just “ok neat, anyway”. I know these are distortions but they still feel real.

With good news coming out of Brazil and Serbia, please remember to not get complacent this November, what just happened in British Columbia is pretty goddamn awful and now everyone's worried for what's coming next. Vote.

Fordola and Ryne I'm having a great time because neither of them are going to talk to me (Fordola out of a similar loathing for small talk, Ryne out of politeness) and neither of them are going to manspread into my personal space.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

i don't wanna be a magical girl took years to get to its finished state, people are already trying to say glitch is too big to count as "indie" anymore, monkey wrench functionally requires at least one incredibly talented slave to release on a nearly schedule. we REALLY gotta shift expectations

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Whenever someone creative tries to justify using genAI in any capacity I therefore must assume 1. They do not care about their peers and feel entitled to creative theft 2. They do not understand the ramifications of who AI benefits 3. They don’t care about the environment 4. They’re lazy

If this post offends you because you wanna use genAI, good. Seethe more, you creatively bankrupt loser. Git gud and stop depending on statistical averages and stolen valor for clout.

And here are the many things suggested in today's Sloperation Stream! Thank you everyone that attended and donated for making me laugh and supporting the fight against genAI. (the rest are in the replies)
