Most of those kids got expelled . Not just by the schools but also by the groups that claimed to support them . A LARGE chunk of them are still protesting they just aren’t being covered. There’s now a 5k-10k protest in some form everyweek And even if those people exist WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE

Why do we need better ethics and social sciences education in STEM - and in particular, tech? This. This is exactly why. The arrogance is astounding.

Money aside like... Animated productions are just... INCREDIBLY TIME CONSUMING... Like just loosely scratching the surface of a 2D Production, imagine producing the Script, Storyboards, Layouts, Character Designs, and Animations for the project All while figuring out rent and your daily expenses 🧍‍♂️

Hi all, I'm mentoring an early-career individual who is seeking advice on best practices for applying for work when you do not know when to disclose your disability. Also, if someone can share some insight on navigating disability discrimination, that would be equally helpful.

If you're considering signing a graphic novel contract, look at the advance the publisher is offering and subtract 15% for your agent (if you have one) and then 30% for taxes, and then divide by the 5-7 years it might take you to finish the book, and then decide if the money is worth it.
