I DJ'd my first set in public on friday woo!!

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

i have never received a penny for the music i have on spotify (which wasn't even uploaded by me so i don't even have the ability to take it down). this is not a joke. i would rather happily let you download my shit directly from my harddrive on soulseek than you listen to it on spotify

hoshi’s origins!! 💫 (2/6)

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

my father passed away just before Thanksgiving from stage iv bladder cancer. I miss him more with every day that passes. I set up a gfm to help my mother with expenses from the medical bills that will come from it so if you could help share I would be so appreciative 🥺🕊️🕊️ gofund.me/584badccb

Shirts, patches, and CDs 33-35% off for the next week! I'm clearing out merch to make room for new stuff in the new year. Everything comes with stickers and download codes. Grab something by December 5th (Bandcamp Friday) <3 tvma.bandcamp.com/merch Model: @mintraine.bsky.social

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

making art in the time of AI lately i've been getting more questions (and occasionally downright accusations) of using AI in art and music. rest assured i have not and will never touch that garbage. thank you

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

New blog post. I love being a working artist but I do not love the rampant exploitation that has become a feature of art industries. Artists deserve better.

Chainsaw Reze arc was so good omg metaphors and layers in storytelling ahhh!! The manga was so thoughtfully brought to life in the movie!!

The magical girl renaissance is here. If you love black magiacl girls, you'll see they're thriving in the Indie Animation space. So much has premiered! links below: @towardsgalaxysend.bsky.social @poppihin.bsky.social @thethreetomes.bsky.social @pearllow.bsky.social #IndieAnimation

It’s here!!! The Three Tomes Indie Animatic pilot! Everyone worked so hard on this so please give it a watch!!! Here’s a shoujo manga page I made of our 3 mains! Congrats to our whole team!!!!~🥹🎉

I don't qualify for SNAP because they think I make too much money (even though I typically can't cover my monthly expenses). Because of this, the food bank at my local LGBT+ center has been a bloodline. It's run by Operation Healthy Hearts. You an donate to their Venmo: @healthyhearts2012

Something I say a lot is, "Let Black kids go to Narnia" as shorthand for, "There should be more stories where Black characters get to be centered in the magical adventures they've often been excluded from" so projects like this always make me so happy. I am looking forward to more from this team!

I forgot grocery store jalapenos arent spicy anymore???

This little kitten I told folks about earlier is up for adoption! She's got big bat ears and she's a doll.

My second Knights of Guinevere painting video!! Seems like something is a little off?

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

I did some paintings for the Knights of Guinevere! If you’ve checked out a certain QR code maybe you’ve seen them 👀

Happy Premiere Day Everyone! #KnightsOfGuinevere

rainbow pencils are fun!! T_T ✨🌈

just learned today that my temp job is cutting my hours and my last day is next week; hmu if you have any leads 👀👀👀

ive said this before and i'll say it again: if you are a new/aspiring board artist, your precious time is better served boarding your own story(s) or working with people you already know have similar interests than you these "volunteer positions" on linkedin are a waste of your time, at best

I been rly on that marie kondo mess lately and getting rid of so many things, im free!! the more i get rid of tho, the more i notice I have

Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.

things being so dry on the union side, at this point i would take decent non-union work as long as it's stable and pays competitively. if there's an indie studio position that seems like a good match for me let me know.

The Botanists Had a lot of fun making this one

I think all animation workers affected by this years-long job drought should be compensated with a million dollars and a 90% discount on their rent

I am from the times when the internet was truly free so its still hard for me to pay for literally any online service lol
