outtathinairstudio Do you get royalties for Strawberry Shortcake or Care Bears?  I don't and I never did. I signed a WORK for HIRE agreement when I began my job at American Greetings. Back in the 70s. As far as I know no one on staff got royalties. Independent freelancers sometimes did. I supplement my Social Security with what I make from my art. When my husband died in 2018 after a long and horrific period I lost most of my Retirement money and was in debt. I relaunched my studio under Outta Thin Air.  I am now out of debt and was able to build a #TinyStudio. I appreciate all the patrons have purchase my art merch.  My personal selling site outtathinairstudio.com  #QAndASeries  My plan is to add to this series as the questions continue to pop up.ALT


Muriel Fahrion, the creator of Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears, was under a work for hire contract when she created them and as a result has received no residuals over the last 40+ years. If you like either of those properties, consider purchasing something from her website. She has art and cute jewelry!

"i wish i could do something 😔 / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at it" good news! it's amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike

hold the fuck on. you can have animated GIF pfps now?????????

DOES EVERYONE SEE THIS SHIT???

The massacre in Jenin is horrific but just the sight of bodies being left on the street because no ambulances/paramedics can get to them since Israel has been blocking them from reaching areas of the refugee camp…yeah there aren’t any words. Literally what can you even say

Update: now the iof is calling for the evacuation of Jenin Refugee camp - Palestinian families are being forced to leave. Colonizers doing what they do best

timesofgaza & eyeonpalestine & onlinepaleng have been posting about this live all day, please keep an eye on those accounts for updates

I think this is a good time as any to remind you that a little goes a long way. I implore you guys to please donate to Palestine. They have been facing hardships and violence at the hands of the Israelis since the occupation of their homeland started in 1948. Innocent people are being robbed of their homes, their lives, their dignity, and are helpless against it all.

Linked below are a few charities and organizations working to provide relief in the area. Please consider offering whatever you can.

Medical Aid for Palestinians

Helping Hand for Relief and Development

UNICEF

UNRWA

Al-Makassed Hospital (run by and for Palestinians in Jerusalem)

Palestine Red Crescent Society

Islamic Relief

Palestine Children's Relief Fund

I love when dogs and cats just let you pat the shit out of them and they enjoy it so much. Like yeah dude real quick I just need to play you like a bongo and they’re like god yes I’ve been waiting for someone to play me like a bongo

what kind of cutie marks would you guys have... be honest

and what kind of pony would you be... and be realistic

you know what I’m gonna say it it’s super lame to reblog this with “how the hell would I know” or some variant because like you literally have the option to just decide based on your interests or what you would just like. There are people saying they’d be an alicorn with a blunt cutie mark. there is no reason to give me this i didn’t ask some deep though provoking question i asked what kind of pony you’d be and what symbol would be on your pony ass. man up and be a pony.
