The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together! It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity! So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Will Smith has a reading foundation and visits public schools. Just so you know the guy who hit that game winning homer has done good things for the LAUSD

Congratulations to the nice man on all my bottles of green tea (and his friends)

America maintained hold of the World Series Championship because we attracted the skilled and willing from abroad. Dodgers players this year were born in Japan, the Dominican Republic, Venezuala, Cuba, and South Korea, as well as in the US (including Puerto Rico). Let's keep America attractive.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

tell you what, it's a fucking terrible time to have even one molecule of human empathy. I have moments where I think that. And then I read something like this, by the great @mskellymhayes.bsky.social (GET HER EXCELLENT NEW BOOK) and I know I need to move organizingmythoughts.org/we-have-to-m...

ok ok last muppet render for now 🐸

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other. And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference

My Usual Setup | 例牌動作 Lai6 paai2 dung6 zok3 Let's talk about art, tech, and the genocide in Congo. As someone who works in Animation and Publishing, tech is something that's always changing and esp in the fast world of animation, "the latest tech" is something that is often encouraged.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

From the permanent collection of @cartoonart.bsky.social, on the occasion of Wally Wood's birthday, here's 22 Panels That Always Work!! This guide was assembled by none other than Larry Hama, who worked as Wood's assistant in the early '70s.

I ate a mango on the verge of over-ripening (its skin was hella wrinkled) and while it was juicy, it wasn’t sweet at all. What a sad mango :(((

I stayed up late illustrating something for no real reason. I definitely didn't give out a google drive link with a high res version of it among friends and family for printing purposes.

it's my birthday today! 🌹 I'd be grateful if you shared my art as a gift to me 🫶

Let’s make an Anglophone doujinshi scene happen, I’m so much more interested in buying someone’s fancomic of any length or quality than I am in getting a print that I have no wall space for

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Like everyone else, I’m having a bad day, but I just watched this incredible video from Simon Clark on how much progress we have made with the climate crisis and and how DT can’t undo most of it, and I don’t know, it made me feel a little bit better, even though it’s not today’s issue

The mound of my thumb hurts from all the drawing I’ve been doing for projects 🫠 does this mean I made it??

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
