I’m looking for work! 👁️👁️ I’m looking for storyboarding or revisionist positions, but I’m also open to work in games! I’m available immediately - I’m fast, funny, and friendly, & I’d love to work with you! Help me feed my cats, they won’t stop screaming!
A little cartoon drawing of me saying “Caitlin Rose Boyle is looking for work! Storyboards and revisions! Six+ years of experience at Nickelodeon, Netflix, and DTVA, with freelance for Titmouse, Cartoon Network, and Pixar.” My cats are drawn off to the side screaming “We’re so HUNGRY!”

Here is your Saturday read. This week we talk about the failure of AI-pilled design “leaders.” “If you are truly ‘leading’ there isn’t an asshole in front of you to lick. There’s no cornucopia of future funding within your lips’ reach.” Enjoy. buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

We're near the ten-year anniversary of this interview, which was viewed as wildly controversial at the time. It led to hit pieces on me from liberal outlets like The New Republic as well as death threats. Now it's seen as conventional wisdom -- but it always was!

A mini Figma Motion review: 👏 Pretty easy to use if you're familiar with AE — similar keyboard shortcuts, yee 👏 Pleasantly surprised you can keyframe shaders, but getting to preview it on canvas was near impossible 🤪 👏 Seems cool for simple animated spot illos, micro interactions, motion reels, etc.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

If you are Canadian, call the Department of Global Affairs between 830AM-430 PM EST. Use this script. Demand they open the border. You don't have to talk directly to anyone. Leave a voicemail, use the script in the second image or use your own words. Alt Text provided.
Urgent Call to action:
End starvation in Gaza now.  Call Global affairs to end Starvation.
1) Dial 1-800-267-8376 & Press 1 for English
2) Listen to all the menu options & press 6 for "All other inquiries"
3) Leave a voicemail (during working hours): read the provided script.  You may provide your name, e-mail, and phone number
4) Press 1 to save your message & hang up.Phone Call Script
"Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening

My name is [name] email phone number, I am a Canadian citizen and a concerned constituent. I am calling because I am heart broken and outraged by the deliberate, systematic starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.

Right now, children are dying of hunger.  Families are boiling water with salt just to survive. Over half a million people are facing catastrophic food insecurity - This is not a famine caused by nature, it is a man-made famine, intentional act of cruelty.  Since the blockade in March of 2025, 57 children have already died of malnutrition-related causes, and nearly 71,000 children under five are projected to develop acute malnutrition.

Canada cannot stand by.  This is a matter of human decency and international law.  I am urging you to publicly demand an immediate end to the use of starvation as a weapon in Gaza.  I am asking you to push for unimpeded access for food, water, and humanitarian aid and to use every diplomatic and political tool Canada has, including at the UN and with allies, to pressure Israel to lift its siege and allow aid in NOW.

Canada has a moral and legal obligation to act.  Please don't let silence become complicity.

Thank you"
