It’s the time of the year when we purposefully try to scare ourselves – haunted houses, horror movies, scary costumes. But please promise me you’ll keep those scares out of your investment pursuits… I understand the rush that can come from buying risky stocks with high-reward

And remember YOU can take action against Disney; cancel your Hulu, D+, Disney tickets, and if you can, show up in person for protests. Free speech and protest WILL win out over fascism, we won't let these studios and companies live down their capitulations to a would-be dictator.

Important new updates to Bill AB1138! TLDR the state legislature wants to take away money from the proposal, while also making it cost more for animation productions to even qualify. https://t.co/mDCtj4hn4A

CORRECTION! We mistakenly listed this workshop as happening on the 22nd. It's actually April 30th and May 7th! Sign up with us for an animation-focused talkback about HOW WE WIN A STRONG CONTRACT! #standwithanimation #labornotes
