thank u so much for voting for this hehe
The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.
Another case today of someone who was frequently in the US rejected at the border on arbitrary grounds & having that rejection permanently making travel to the US hard/impossible for the rest of their life.
I can't stress this enough: do not travel to the US. It wouldn't happen to you until it has.
The things I do for the Major so I don't miss her triumphant return... 🥹
(Also because if I just try to catch it on streaming, I can probably kiss closed captions goodbye because who needs accessibility after it airs in this country, amirite???"
You can tell how little Japanese TV I watch and especially how little anime I watch in real time because the one time every year I set my sights on a series to watch, it's always followed by 30 minutes of googling which local station is the actual affiliate to whatever network is listed online. 😵💫
so far only one mod on my server has warned me of this, and i haven't seen anyone talk about this specifically but:
please read this article (by any means necessary) if you haven't already. this is dire not just for me but for every artist you love
the last two years, i've had $100k+ of work cancelled and was axed by a longtime agency after a project went toxic and the client demanded heads roll
i've never fully recovered
lot of translation trials, no callbacks; how do i feed myself and keep this visa so i don't move back to the us? i dunno
and i'll be starkly honest again, folks: even working in japanese games, which many think is more stable, i don't if i have much fuel left in the tank to stick around in loc or even just any kind of translation
i love the job still, i truly want to stay, but love doesn't get knocks on the door
