Found this baby blue jay under my tree after a really bad storm last year. I'm so grateful that I found him in time. This baby went from barely hanging on, to keeping me up all night chirping! When you are able, lend a hand.

Thanks for the shout out, Tracey! I'm sure I speak for Josh and Ashley when I say, we truly appreciate it.

Video essay by Jellybox about what's good and bad about indie animation!

Wanted to share this in case it's helpful to anyone wanting to pursue making animation independently. It's also for fans of indie animation who may want some insight into how an indie studio works, why indie cartoons are always selling merch, why release schedules are often erratic, etc.

I also wanted to clarify the video's context, because it seems to have been somewhat misconstrued in some circles. Not long ago, WGA and SAG strikes, followed by TAG negotiations were very much in the news, shining light on the struggles the artists, writers, and actors in the Hollywood studio system are facing. In response, the words 'just go indie' have been tossed around quite a bit lately.

Gene and Sean at Jellybox approached us a few months back explaining that they were planning to make a video about the realities of running an indie studio/producing indie animation, largely in response to that 'just go indie' attitude. They were curious if we'd be willing to share our experience, including information about actual costs and the various difficulties and complications we've encountered. We said yes! We'd like for people to know what it's like. As much as it might look appealing next to the currently very broken studio system, indie has its own set of problems, and we think it's a good idea to be transparent about that because talking about problems is how you begin to address them.

Of course, while you get creative freedom and you have no shareholders to appease with indie production, the primary struggle you're always going to face is funding…and funding avenues are limited. Banks aren't eager to hand out business loans to freelance artists making cartoons, for instance. Social media algorithms reward frequent updates you can't swing with hand-drawn animated content, so you can't rely much on things like AdSense. You can't really insert sponsored ads into your animated videos without being too obtrusive. You can take on client work, but that interferes with your ability to focus on own animated project. Crowdfunds can be great for seed money, but they're also a ton of work to fulfill, and fulfillment itself will tend to eat up a considerable amount of the funds you've raised. Once your animation is produced, there is no well established way to sell the animated episode itself like there is for, say indie games sold on Steam. So, while we consider ways to try to make the terrain a bit more hospitable to indie creations, if nothing else, let this explain why productions rely a lot on merch drops!

-----------------

And hey, if you're an animation fan, consider supporting the independent productions you enjoy, whether you're tossing a few dollars their way, buying their merch, or just mentioning them to friends:

The Far-Fetched team is launching a crowdfund very soon to help them complete their pilot!

The Monkey Wrench team is killing it lately, and they deserve so much more fanfare than they've gotten!

And of course, thank you to the excellent folks at Jellybox for starting an important conversation!

Hyderabad IT Park Forest Cut Controversy

[happytailtimes]

[work4nation]

The issue you're highlighting is a complex one, involving cultural, religious, and environmental concerns. Here are some thoughts on the matter:

Cultural and Religious Significance:

Eid al-Adha, a significant Islamic holiday, involves the sacrificial slaughter of animals (usually goats, sheep, or cows) to commemorate the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son. This practice is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition and is considered a means of demonstrating devotion and gratitude to Allah.

Animal Welfare Concerns

The mass slaughter of animals on Eid al-Adha has raised concerns about animal welfare. Many animals are subjected to inhumane treatment, including overcrowding, poor handling, and inadequate slaughter practices. This can lead to unnecessary suffering and stress for the animals.

Environmental Impact

The large-scale slaughter of animals also has environmental implications. The production and transportation of animals for sacrifice can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution.

Increasing Number of Non-Vegetarians

The growing global population and increasing demand for meat have contributed to a rise in non-vegetarianism. This trend is driven by various factors, including urbanization, changing dietary preferences, and economic growth.

A very valid & serious concern!

The Water Footprint of Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, a significant Islamic holiday, involves the sacrificial slaughter of millions of animals worldwide. One of the often-overlooked aspects of this practice is the substantial amount of water used and wasted during the process.

Water Usage Estimates In One Day

According to various reports and studies, here are some staggering estimates of water usage associated with Eid al-Adha:

- In Pakistan alone, it's estimated that over 1.5 billion liters (approximately 400 million gallons) of water are used for washing and cleaning animals during Eid al-Adha. (Source: Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority)

- In India, the water usage for Eid al-Adha is estimated to be around 1.2 billion liters (approximately 320 million gallons). (Source: Central Ground Water Board, India)

- Globally, the total water usage for Eid al-Adha could be as high as 10-15 billion liters (approximately 2.6-4 billion gallons), considering the large number of animals slaughtered and the water-intensive cleaning processes involved.

Water Wastage and Environmental Concerns

The massive water usage during Eid al-Adha raises significant environmental concerns:

- *Water scarcity: The large-scale use of water for washing and cleaning animals exacerbates water scarcity issues in regions where water is already a limited resource.

- *Water pollution: The improper disposal of animal waste and cleaning agents can contaminate water sources, posing a risk to both human health and the environment.

- *Wastewater management: The generation of large amounts of wastewater during Eid al-Adha can overwhelm wastewater treatment infrastructure, leading to the release of untreated wastewater into the environment.

Mitigating Water Wastage and Promoting Sustainability

To address these concerns, consider the following strategies:

1. *Water-efficient practices: Promote the use of water-efficient practices, such as using low-flow water systems and implementing water-saving technologies.

2. *Waste water management: Ensure proper wastewater management, including the use of wastewater treatment plants and proper disposal of animal waste.

3. *Water conservation awareness: Raise awareness about the importance of water conservation during Eid al-Adha, encouraging individuals to adopt water-saving practices.

4. *Alternative cleaning methods: Explore alternative cleaning methods that use less water, such as dry cleaning or using eco-friendly cleaning agents.

5. *Community engagement: Engage with local communities to develop and implement sustainable water management practices during Eid al-Adha.

Controlling the Issue

To address the concerns surrounding animal slaughter on Eid al-Adha, consider the following strategies:

1. *Promote humane treatment: Encourage the use of humane slaughter practices, such as stunning animals before slaughter, to minimize suffering.

2. *Improve animal welfare standards: Develop and enforce stricter animal welfare standards for farms, transportation, and slaughterhouses.

3. *Support sustainable agriculture: Encourage sustainable agricultural practices, such as regenerative farming, to reduce the environmental impact of animal production.

4. *Educate and raise awareness: Organize awareness campaigns to educate people about the importance of animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and the cultural significance of Eid al-Adha.

5. *Explore alternative forms of sacrifice: Consider alternative forms of sacrifice, such as donating to charitable causes or volunteering for community service, to maintain the spiritual significance of Eid al-Adha while minimizing animal suffering.

6. *Encourage plant-based diets: Promote plant-based diets and provide education on the health benefits and environmental sustainability of vegetarianism and veganism.

By adopting these above strategies, we can reduce the environmental impact of Eid al-Adha and promote a more sustainable and water-conscious celebration.

Ultimately, finding a balance between cultural and religious traditions, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability will require a multifaceted approach that involves education, awareness, and community engagement.
