Disney’s values have always been the same. Since the days of Walt - attempting to impede his employees from forming a union to his fixation on creating animatronic characters. The goal was always to get around paying for human labor.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

MO KRIL (OFICIAL) 🐭 #pixelart #deadlock 🎨 Everybody wanted Mo and Krill so I gave in. It's all good. Which one next?

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with. 1. Carimara Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

If the last 15 years of the tightening chokeholds on society and culture from the tech sector and the American conservative animus have taught us anything, it’s that it’s healthy to be extremely skeptical of anyone calling the humanities “low utility” or similar

We are currently burning through all funds and enacted household austerity measures b/c we are trying to pay our taxes before the IRS comes and (presumably) starts taking our fingers so this means I could use help with more bills than I usually do... so... hey... check out my shops :P

URGENT!! We are on our last day to raise funds to stay housed this month. We need to sell 5 more blind boxes or digital art bundles. Just FIVE! Thank you so much for your ongoing support!! tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

We as a society have put so much emphasis on "progress" that we've eliminated any trace of sentimentality or whimsy, everything is an expendable commodity and you don't have any real connection to it. I'd much rather have the "worse" tapes than a subscription to songs I'm basically subletting.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Hey! I am afraid of getting an eviction notice I'm about $400 from my goal to make rent!! Pls boost :) www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-re...

I can afford to be generous and wave you all towards Ida's ridiculously gorgeous pottery because *I* have already asked for my favorites so I don't have to worry about you stealing them from me. I *might* need to start drinking better quality tea to be worthy of them though.

gofund.me/61ed43533 Please share! Seeking $1,244 to get out of $150 overdraft, give my roommate about a month to find a new roommate, pay my rent balance, phone bill & put my possessions into storage. Even if you don't have the means to help financially, spreading the word is a big boost! :)

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

I couldn't donate much but even a little is huge because this entire thing is floated on good will. Blender 5.0 came out today, and I'll be testing the brand new storyboarding features soon but it's already landed me jobs and let me make films!! #b3d

in case I need to say it more bluntly: demanding comfort from fiction and its creators, as if it is a right you are entitled to, is white supremacy being allergic to discomfort will only stifle you, keep your mind closed, which is what these fascist want from you

wanted to animate, had a need to ACTUALLY see how his legs do the thing and then what the hell, why SHOULDN'T I marry two different run cycles together with some cool jumps and transitions #Valentin • #MersAnim #AnimationSky #Animation #MersOCs #OCSky #OC #TTRPGChar #cyberpunk #sketchbook •

I want fantasy that is small and weird and has rough edges. I want to encounter something unexpected that makes me feel Wonder and Magic because I didn't see it coming telegraphed through 80 years of LOTR filter

I call it “joyful rigor” when I explain this effort to my students. I don’t believe in or rather, I’m not a “suffering poet.” I’m a writer who enjoys writing. The work works on me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to delve into the process at my own pace and to be changed by it.

The face melting tragedy of this all is Warner Bros just had its first great record breaking year in a long time with big risks like Sinners, Weapons, and One Battle After Another… And the result is to try and sell it off? It’d be so nice if people who owned companies that made movies loved movies.

I know I've been banging the New Edge drum, but there's another project I've backed that's a short way from funding, with only a day left. I love a bit of VVitch-style horror, and if you do too, take a look!

Bad news: I got laid off from a project and rent is still late, I'm afraid I'll receive an eviction notice soon. I managed to pay part of it last month but we're still struggling.
