"You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

From your friends & coworkers at Atomic Cartoons Vancouver: Curious how a union can help protect artists with introduction of AI/Gen AI tools at Atomic? Our guest speaker, IATSE Local 938 Senior Steward Emily Gossmann is a strong voice for workers & an expert on the impact of AI in animation/VFX.

A simple colourful poster that reads "Atomic Workers: Let's have a REAL TA about A.I. - April 15, 7 PM. Online RSVP:" Under the RSVP statement is a QR code. In the centre is a cartoon image of a red ball creature using a comically large mallet to squash down on another cartoon creature.

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment. Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin...

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

New painting! “Forest Unicorn”, for @everydayoriginal.bsky.social April 30th. (Posting this a little early!)

A black unicorn looking over her shoulder adorned with ferns and leaves. Three glowing moths flit about.

Same painting, framed in a black ornate frame.

Wore my oasis concert tee to the grocery yesterday and the worker said, “this might age me but my first CD was oasis” I looked at her and replied, “the first CD I bought was milli vanilli” … “Oh” 😂😂😂 (and I still have it!!)

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

User @backintimeag:
The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.

Below is CAG 938's statement on the recently announced event in Stanley Park.

Text on the letterhead of CAG 938 reads:
"
The Canadian Animation Guild is deeply disappointed in the Vancouver Park Board’s decision to replace the yearly Bright Nights charity event with a for-profit Harry Potter-themed attraction at Stanley Park this year.

Bright Nights is an annual event hosted by the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association to raise donations for their Burn Fund, which provides valuable support for burn survivors and their families. This event brings communities together in solidarity with the indispensable services that BC firefighters provide to our province.

Not only is the Park Board’s decision a slap in the face of firefighters and burn victims, but the decision to replace it with a for-profit event that promotes the Intellectual Property of Joanne Rowling shows a disregard for the concerns of 2SLGBTQIA+ workers in our city. Rowling is well known for utilizing her own wealth in lobbying for the erosion of trans rights in the UK and abroad, championing legislation that cuts trans healthcare and restricts the rights of transgender people to exist in public. As the owner of the Harry Potter IP, Rowling directly benefits from such events. By choosing to approve a licensed Harry Potter-themed event in Stanley Park, Vancouver City Council and the Park Board have made all of us who live and work in Vancouver complicit by funding JK Rowling’s ongoing campaign against trans people.

CAG 938 stands with 2SLGBTQIA+ workers in our membership and beyond, and we will continue to represent their interests, both in and out of the workplace. We will also be exploring our options through the Vancouver & District Labour Council to hold the Park Board accountable.

On behalf of the CAG Executive Board,

Eddy Pedreira (he/him), President and Kari Nakken (she/any) Pride Committee Chair"

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.
