A couple words on #AnimationPaidMe:

Some of you know we ran a survey for women back in 2016. We hope to duplicate it next year.

It's a small sample size (294!), but these were our results on income:

[The Animation Guild // #WeAre839 @animationguild]

Let’s remind everyone that their favorite animation is made by us—human animation workers! Post a pic or illustration of yourself, include your job & favorite series or movies you’ve worked on & tag TAG so we can share! Thanks Hannah Partlow for this graphic. #StandWithAnimation

HELL FOLLOWED WITH US, my book about a trans boy, the autistic guy he has a crush on, & giant corpse monsters fighting Evangelical cultists is getting an ANIMATED MOVIE

with the help of Lilly Wachowski (THE MATRIX) and Powerhouse Studios (CASTLEVANIA) 🔥

In any event, wanted to reassure we ARE both persisting in organizing it, and trying to find ways to adapt the event for even better results and participation.

Thank you for your patience & understanding in this moment of urgency. Please feel free to DM questions or interest!

Good morning, all—

Wanted to provide a quick update on the Palestine/Gaza fundraiser. 🍉 @AnimSolidarity

Short version: we have not drummed up enough volunteers yet, so at this time we will be pushing the date (and reaching out to folks who expressed interest again).

[Animation Heroine @anim_heroine]

In past, it’s perhaps been TOO easy to get artists for these events—I deeply understand asking folks for their time and energy is a particularly big ask right now.

The industry is different now than 2020 when we started these.

[Animation Heroine @anim_heroine]

Is anyone else going to say the quiet part out loud about The List, or…? 👀

[Animation Workers Ireland @IrishAniWorkers]

I need every artist in Los Angeles that has made the xenophobic statement of “overseas artists are stealing our jobs” to read this entire thread, and the others from our international comrades. they’re not “stealing,” they’re being exploited just like us, but far, far worse.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

The AMPTP denied that Animation Guild members have had issues with dismissal pay, being deadnamed in the credits or not credited despite correction, or finding accessible gender-neutral bathrooms. If you have had these issues, let us know so we can form a strong rebuttal. We need it ASAP for tomorrow.

Hey @sagaftra, pretty sure none of your members want this... 👀

[Variety @Variety]

SAG-AFTRA has struck a deal with AI startup Narrativ for audio voice replicas in digital advertising that the union asserts sets "a new standard" for ethical use of the technology and also makes it easy for performers to give consent and get paid. https://t.co/dOpxH7Pnmp

1/3 HUGE update on our case!

We won BIG as the judge allowed ALL of our claims on copyright infringement to proceed and we historically move on The Lanham Act (trade dress) claims! We can now proceed onto discovery!

The implications on this order is huge on so many fronts!

[nicodaboy allegations @nicodaboy_doc]

In light of the recent allegations involving Nicolas Saltos (@/nicodaboy), this document shares stories from individuals across the animation industry detailing their experiences with Nico. Please read through carefully and direct your attention to the safety of those affected.

Consider coming to the Stand with Animation rally on Saturday 8/10, to support TAG as we head into negotiations to fight for a better future for animation workers!

PRIMOS is out in the world!

If you don't have Disney+ you can watch the first two episodes on YouTube. My personal fave of this early set is "Summer of La Muñeca" for a perfect spooky summer treat.

We extend full solidarity to the SAG-AFTRA video game workers as they launch on a strike against major video game companies. ✊

The decision to strike is never made lightly, but is a last resort when negotiations are failing to move towards union-members’ priorities.
