well this is just stupid and awful, Teen Vogue has genuinely been one of the best sources of clear-eyed political news for years

infuriating to see talented people lose their jobs while right wing hacks fail ever upward across the media ecosystem

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month.

Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.*

I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

Jett Barker @jettbarker.bsky.social · Oct 4

I didn't make a 2024 videogame visual reel because of the strike, so...here, have both 2024 *and* 2025!

For any new folks: hi there! I'm Jett, a British-American voice actor based in California.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Indigenous horror may seem new to many, but it is ancient. It is born from stories that carry lessons, warnings, and survival through generations. What is new is seeing those stories retake their rightful space in the contemporary horror landscape.

Hey everyone. A good friend of mine lost his father last night to a sudden illness...His family could really use financial support for cremation and healthcare expenses. If you can donate or spread the word, it would mean so much. I'll link the gofundme in the replies. 🙏

From just the people I've worked with, I have plenty of anecdotes about how a voice actor's delivery of a line helped solve a problem the writer/dev was having with the story.

Getting work, paid or unpaid, is not just good for actors. It's good for the medium. :)

Make EA Better for Workers and Gamers - Not Billionaires

Please read our statement regarding the proposed Electronic Arts buyout. We refuse to let corporate greed decide the future of our industry.

cwa-union.org/news/release...

United Videogame Workers-CWA Statement on Proposed Electronic Arts Buyout
October 15, 2025
NATIONWIDE — The following statement is from United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433.

The recently proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and private equity firms, including Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, will further concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few gatekeepers while doing nothing to address the concerns of players and workers.

EA is not a struggling company. With annual revenues reaching $7.5 billion and $1 billion in profit each year, EA is one of the largest video game developers and publishers in the world. EA’s success has been entirely driven by tens of thousands of EA workers whose creativity, skill, and innovation made EA worth buying in the first place. Yet we, the very people who will be jeopardized as a result of this deal, were not represented at all when this buyout was negotiated or discussed.

We are particularly worried about the future of our studios that are arbitrarily deemed ‘less profitable’ but whose contributions to the video game industry define EA’s reputation. Since 2022, an estimated 40,000 video game workers have already lost their jobs due to mass layoffs at AAA and indie studios alike. As reported in Game Developer, this deal will result in EA having to finance nearly $20 billion in debt—who will be spared, which corners will executives cut, and what studios will be sacrificed in order for that to happen?

If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors’ pockets—not to strengthen the company.

Every time private equity or billionaire investors take a studio private, workers lose visibility, transparency, and power. Decisions that shape our jobs, our art, and our futures are made behind closed doors by executives who have never written a line of code, built worlds, or supported live services. We are…
