If you do not like that your games are being released without voiceover, please write to the companies producing them and tell them to sign the SAG-AFTRA INTERIM AGREEMENT to guarantee their actors the right to consent to being fed into generative AI. We are being denied that right.

BREAKING: Sports should be safe & fair for everyone, but President Trump has signed an executive order attacking trans kids and violating the safety & privacy of all girls in sports. This could lead to more bullying. We will provide updates & ways to fight back as we learn more: hrc.im/equalityhub

If you're a performer working on SL6 and non-union projects during the strike and this doesn't shake you to your core, you probably have no idea how bad things are out there and you should really learn. We need all hands on deck and everyone to push back. And we need it NOW.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

I am no longer accepting "You're Valid! 😊" as an answer to the problems myself and my fellow trans siblings are facing. You want to help? Hire us for work, directly include us in your projects, or donate to us so we can continue to live. Myself & other trans folks continue to struggle to survive.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

Posting this here too!👇 I’ve seen a lot of confusion recently from gamers… family… friends… fans outside of the voiceover community (and have had more people asking me lately) - for anyone wondering, no, the video game strike is not over yet! We’re still here fighting for our protections!

Infuriating. And not surprising. A queer character I voiced for this series was erased in a truly offensive way. A 🧵. 1/8
