I'm gonna tell y'all a story. In 2006, my brother passed away. I grieved for a couple of weeks, and then I walked that shit off. In 2009, out of nowhere, I suddenly lost my ability to drive on the highway. It was weird, but I just couldn't do it. The anxiety was overwhelming...

Today is the first day of Union Contract Negotiations, between The Animation Guild and the AMPTP. Please help by spreading the word and hashtags. We're fighting for a better Animation Industry, for employees and fans!! ✊️✊️ #StandWithAnimation #StoryCraftUnite

Studios used to order 2 seasons of a cartoon which allowed the show to go to air & if it was successful it'd get season 3. Now they only order 1 season & wait to see if it succeeds but animation takes so long the teams are disbanded & so they decide to just make 1 season & cancel

Earlier this week, a group of animation workers converged on the former Cartoon Network studio building in Burbank to project a message as they get into the thick of negotiations. Some statements from concerned animation workers in next tweets:

A chance to see the awesome, kind, funny Joseph Scrimshaw live!! If you're in LA, you don't want to miss this. Squirrels, Star Wars, the existential horror of aging (but FUNNY) - what more could you want???

Hands down Operation Mincemeat . Pleaseeeee come to America!

Can I get a #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme in the comments please ? at least 1k ..let’s gooooo!

Just like Roger Rabbit.

I will be there with Brian Hohlfeld - Daddy Dodo himself!

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements. Over and over and over. (thread)

I love it!!

Tough time in our industry.

Preferably one with 31 days so I have longer to procrastinate!

I'M GONNA CRYYYY UGGHH I LOVEU SO MUCH TRANSFORMERS HUMANS 😭😭😭

If you do anything artistic with Transformers(visual, audio, written, whatever- let's keep it PG lol), reply to this with some of your art. I'm in a super "I love Transformers" mood right now and I'd love to see other people share that passion. (try to keep it to only one reply!)

Negotiations have started up again! Animation is under attack, which side are YOU on? #StandWithAnimation #UNIONYAOI #NoContractNoCartoons

Today is Transformers Day, celebrating the day in 2016 that Rescue Bots overtook the G1 cartoon to become the longest-running TF cartoon ever. (whisper) wait what

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grosser string of words than: 'to develop cutting-edge, capital-efficient content creation opportunities.'
