I like to draw stuff, sometimes fuzzy sometimes mechanized. Lancer Forever GM. Currently working as an industrial drafter. Also I have an Itch webpage now! It's sparse, but more content coming in the future perhaps? https://annecrow.itch.io/

Its not to blame creatives for crunch, more so that in an ideal world we don't live in, managers would be looking out for them by forcing them to be done after a certain point before it becomes caustic to themselves. Unfortunately we live in a capitalist hellscape, joy.

I often think about this annecdote I heard somewhere about how you need to manage creatives, because they will otherwise crunch themselves into a burnout. Somewhere along, we made those creatives managers, and we told the managers they needed perfection without time, so crunch just exists.

We're constantly made to feel like our worth is our work, that to get seen and get the attention we want, we need to be perfect, to do the very best we always can, and after a certain point that pressure is just toxic for yourself and your own work. You cannot make the perfect work. Let go.

You know recent talk about stuff (yes, its Uchikoshi related) has made me think again on how important it is to just be DONE with a piece of work, like after a certain point you just gotta say "i'm done send it" you can't just do constant revisions forever. And as a creative, that hits hard.

It's been such a staggering change from when I was able-bodied that it's hard to confront let alone even begin describing how much worse everyone treats you when you're disabled. I've been passed over for work, lost friends and partners, and get treated like shit by random people in public.

I want my foreign friends to understand the magnitude of this popular mobilization against fascism. 90-year-olds in wheelchairs, isolated Indigenous communities walking miles, and poor neighborhoods fighting for hours after far-right mayors halted buses to suppress votes. And we won.

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW

Niu Lai fandom rise up

Cartoon Brew@cartoonbrew.bsky.social

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

Ok some of that trouble with sleep is on in my own damn ass but I just woke (too) early today and just learned about the elections in BC and now I'm really worried for friends there.

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Still eternally funny to me that META the multi billion dollar company can't get legs to work in VR space meanwhile furries working on their own time have functional tails and quadrupedal locomotion

the desire for segregation of nsfw and sfw content seems to be a gateway that leads down the path of systemically lessening visibility for queer artists. not sure what to do about that

the red line for me will always be when social media sites attempt to police content beyond the scope of their web domain. it means folks who are not interested in being verified via bluesky will not be able to reach my content in other places because of decisions to limit visibility like this

shout out to all the artists trying to pay the bills and grappling with that feeling of desperation and uncertainty while trying to maintain creative fluency and a hopeful outlook that maybe “today will be the day things get a tiny bit easier”

the lineup. Whipped up the first in 2020 to be festive over an n95. I gave away the second half-mask and the top part of the third one broke at one point.
